They're Imaginative,
These Press Agents
BY the Associo.ed Press

HOLLYWOOD.
Movie press agents, who have un.
usually fertile imaginations, woule
have you believe:
Yvonne De Carlo was doing &
scene in "Fandango" with a rec
macaw. The bird, sitting on hel
shoulder, kept pecking away at the
buttons of the strap holding up hel
skimpy dancing costume.
The birds trainer, man named
Curly TWiford, explained the macav
was merely sharpening his bill.
So, solemnly said the press agent
Twiford fashioned a muzzle out o1
silk thread, colored it to match the
birds beak so it wouldn't photo
graph-and thus the day, and Miss
De Carlos modesty, were saved.
Another bird yarn the Hollywoods
are full of 'em) came from RKO
where rare Dutch frill, whatever
that is, was working without much
enthusiasm. He wouldn't even pay
heed to Maureen O'Hara.
The frill was definitely moody
But Viennese-born Walter Slezak
brought him around. Slezak speaks
five languages, including the frill's
native Dutch, and after brief con-
versation between the two, which
no one understood, of course, the
frill blazed into song.
That's what the press agent said,
anyhow.

man said. Come to think of it
worse than anything. She has been
playing the Amalie sort almost since
she got into the movies"
Producer Kramer, who spent a
long time in the Army, as did Et-
tingler, was listening to the discus
sion with polite intentneSs, but it
was obvious that when it came time
to cast Amalie, he would follow his
own counsel. An aside addressed to
him revealed that he even was
thinking with a part of his mind
about who might be the man to play
opposite Amalie. That's heel sort
who is brought to heel-the best
cure for the type-by Amalie.
I'D like to get Cable" he ad-
mitted, in a tone which implied
who wouldn't"
Il think it would be a great part
for him, certainly better than the
one he got in Adventure Seeing
him about 1t will be my first step
when get back to Hollywood. That
will be in June. I guess. He would
be perfect for the character.
1t was at this point that every
one seemed to realize that agree
ment among the group was impossi-
BILE. The star to play Amalie held
on for a few minutes, but only in
differently. Religion got into the
conversation then, which is rather
quick and maybe even spectacular
change of subject. Amalie would
have been embarrassed at the diff
ference in the degree of enthusiasm
with which the new subject was
greeted. Professional churchmen
would have been surprised, and
highly pleased, at the fervor and the
humility with which the theme was
carried on.
Miss Taylor and Kramer and
Ettlinger all agreed that Hollywood
along with the rest of the world
could stand considerable moral edu-
cation. Everybody suddenly thought
everybody could stand a lot of the
same.
The question turned out to be so
dramatic that Amalie never did get
back into the conversation, which
made the party unusual, if not
unique, in the history of movie press
parties.
Maybe, because the Story Produc-
tons, Inc, people are unusual.

City Commission Reinstates
Gutierrez Following Hearing

In a generally anticipated
move. the City Commission, act
ing on recommendations of the
Civil Service Board, yesterday
reinstated Police Officer George
/ Gutierrez. suspended last Mon
day on charges that he left his
post without authority.
Suspension unwarranted," the
boards findings read. Patrol
man Gutierrez should be imme-
diately reinstated and receive
full compensation for the period
of suspension up to the date he
is reinstated."
Lashing out at Chief of Police
Louis Eisner who initiated the
charges against Gutierrez, the
board declared the police chief
failed to show diplomacy and
tact by failing to investigate
thoroughly the matter"
Testimony revealed tn t
Chief Eisner made no provisions
for Patrolman Gutierrez to take
time off to go home and eat, drink
water, or other necessities" the
board charged.
The report further stated that
the only toilet facilities avail
able in the area being patrolled
by Gutierrez was located in a Ii
quor establishment and Chief
Eisner, it sand, had given strict
orders that no liquor establish
ments are to be visited by pa
trolmen under penalty of sus-
pension.
Charging Eisner with discrim-
mating in melting out punish
ment for like offenses, the board
pointed out that Patrolman Hec-
tor Castro, by his own admis-
sion was off his post on the
night in question but had not
been suspended by Eisner.
The board stated it twas, in
clined to believe" that the timer
piece consulted by Chief Eisner
was not accurate.
In closing, its report, the board
declared, that ''the City Manager
deliberately walked out in the
midst of the investigation with
out excusing himself.
AT the close of the meeting
Mayor w. w. Demeritt declared
that the majority of the commits
sion commended the Civil Serv-
ice Board ''for doing a splendid
Job"
