Brian Donlevy's
Singing Career
Was Brief One
By PATRICIA SIMMONS.


Pistol Packin' Mama" Is hardly
appropriate background for Brian
Donlevy. But since the cello was
manned by a man Of musical integ-
rity like the National Symphonic
Howard Mitchell we felt sure it was
all for a good purpose, and so 1t was.
Mr.. Donlevy told the guests OF
M-G-M who came to lunch with
him yesterday at the Statler fol-
lowing the premiere of AN Amer
lean Romance" that he wasn't a
speech-maker, certainly not a
dancer and after a recent incident
he no longer fancied himself a
singer
Seems Gary Cooper had been
having success entertaining conva-
lescent soldiers by giving vent to- his
healthy baritone on this Pistol
Packin' Mama" number, Donlevy ex-
planned to the press.
well. as you know Coop is
hardly the type, so I said to myself,
'Donlevy, If he can do it, what are
you waiting for?' Just to be on the
safe side, I got a little coaching
from Coop himself and then went
gravely forth to give my al. Imagine
the worst and you won't be wrong.
l sang two choruses using my best
histrionics. Nothing happened. So
walked over to one soldier who
looked like a friendly lad and told
him I hoped he'd be better very
Soon."
"I hope you'll be better soon, too,
he said"
X X X
With that Mr.. Conlevy bowed his
way toward the luncheon table and
Mr.. Mitchell and his associates lead
into a final chorus of Pistol Packin'
Mama"-without vocal accompani-
ment.
A few hours later, wearing one
OF the brightest green ties we've
seen, the mayor of Malibu, Calf,
received smaller group of report
ers in his suite at the Statler. The
mayor (Mr. Donlevy to yoW ex-
planned his official. title as en acci-
dent.
Il own beach house in Malibu,"
he said. "One night I failed to
show up at a civic meeting and
my friends used the opportunity to
elect me mayor. 1t has one COM
pensation, however" he added. II
can't be arrested for speeding"
X
Mr.. Donlevy was called to the
phone and his manager took the
opportunity to tell about Brian's
only weakness. He loves ties, the
brighter the better. You know. he
buys them in 100 lots" he said. In
New York the other day he bought
some and probably next Christmas
he'll have given every cne sway.

was dig 1cllOW udMcQ DcIllS 11Ucy.
The victim was Paulette Goddard
Mr.. Hoey had no inhibitions. He
just follows the script literally.
1t was nothing pleasant to look at.
The big fellow shook her vigorously,
shook her until her teeth clicked
and her cap fell of. Then he took
full swing of his right arm and
struck her q backhanded blow on
the right cheek. Paulette landed on
the floor. 1t was not stage fall, a
graceful, controlled, slow-motion
collapse. Hoey really hit her, and
down she went, hard.
Director Mitchell Leisen sensed
too much realism. He called "cut"
In an excited voice. Paulette
scrambled to her feet, her eyes were
blazing with anger and her fists
clenched. Big Denis, 2O4 pounds of
bone and hard muscle, stepped back
quickly. Apparently it had been his
intention to help her up from the
floor and perhaps to ask if he had
hit her too hard. He went white
instead. Paulette's flaming temper
stopped him and alarmed him.
Leisen called out sharply, That's
all, Pauley. The scenes over. You're
not supposed to be mad any more"
Every one on the set was watching
the star bv this time, wondering if
q big scene was about to be enacted
in real life.
Suddenly the anger drained from
her face and it went white Then
she blushed. Then she started to
laugh. The abashed Hoey choked
and stammered a little as Paulette
stepped up to him and said, That
was swell-you really got me that
time"
Then she turned to Leisen. "I
really was mad" she said And I'm
glad you snapped me out of it. If
you hadn't, I believe I would have
slapped him right back That goes
back as far as my childhood. +
never could stand to have any one
strike me: And I really forgot that
we were just playing scene"
Hoey, the towering Englishman,
who once was sparring partner for
Bombardier Wells, was smiling now,
but it was weak little smile
That's the first time in my life
ever laid hands on a woman" he
said. I'm not going to enjoy it
this afternoon a bit"
What he meant was that in the
afternoon the script of kitty"
called for him to drag Miss Goddard
around the floor by her hair.
