Small boys and pianos don't
mix but for this movie 500
of them sat down to play ..
by Louis Berg
This Week Movie Editor

0AN you imagine 500 small boys = aged six to nine
N-playing on a single grand piano with a key
board quarter of mile in length, and all in unison?
Cartoonist and screen writer Ted Geisel = better
known as DR.. Seuss imagined it for his ful-ength
lve-action fantasy. The 5000 Fingers OF Dr. T. and
nearly wrecked the Columbia Picture studio result
The sequence seemed innocent enough to producer
Stanley Kramer when Dr.. Seuss outlined it for him.
1t was to be part of the dream of nine old boy
who didn't want to practice his piano lessons (the
part is played by Tommy Rettig) In this dream, he
is imprisoned - along with 499 other small boys -
by the monstrous piano teacher, Dr. Terwiliger and
all are set to work practcing one piece "a hours day.
Chaos On the Set
BEHIND the boys, in the picture is group of burly
prison guards, armed with revovers and truncheons
Behind the armed guards were as many assistant
directors spotted about to keep the youngsters in lne
For did you try to get 500 kids to perform at
anything in unison? 1t is impossible for any small
boy to sit still for more than two minutes. There was
such chaos on the set that the number of boys was
ultimately cut to 15O Everywhere were to be heard
the anguished cries of the spoilers:
Number Five isn't paying attention!"
Number Is is kicking Number is in the shinsr'
And 50 it went, in the effort to film sequence that
would take up perhaps three minutes screen time
Number l13 would raise one finger instead of 10. and
would have to be excused just cameras were ready

cry, and he would be dismissed to join his nervously
waiting mother who was barred from the set along
with the army of other mothers. The sequence took
five days to film and must have cost the studio
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Pletely cut off by the Germans? What kind Of a

Coolidge Coach Must Fill Gaps,

By Bill Fuchs

Coach Gil Conn. favoring a

third football champion in the
history of Coolidge High School.
Not that Conn is talking

he has too many gaps to fill. par
ticularly in the blocking back de-
partment. But the nucleus is
there and, with several newcomers
showing well, the Colts should i'm
prove their 5-2-1 District inter-
high record of last year.
I'VE lack experience" Conn
says. 1--WE have a big squad out,
but a lot of them are third
semester boys. To win the cham
pionship you have to have a
second or third-year team. Look
at the record. I came here in
1912. the first year for football
here. We didn't do much that
season, but in 1943 I had the same
BOYS back, all seniors. We won.
Eastern won the next year with
a senior team. We won it again
in 1946 with boys we were bring
ing along and in 1947 Tech won
it with the same group of boys
we beat the previous year. /

Tough Losing Mccoy.
A blow to Coolidge has been the
loss of Billy Mccoy, star tailback,
who broke his collarbone in scrim-
mage Tuesday.
Coolidge, however, is better off
than lot of its opponents. The
Colts have two good backs re-
turning in Fred Shepherd and
Stan Kay, pass-catching end in
Bruce Tucker, who stands Ga
and weighs 205 pounds. and top
guard in Basil Maramaa. TO-
pound full-game player. Two
190-pound tackles. Phil Kastln
and Larry Blanken, and Larry
Pittler, a 170-pound defensive
guard, also have experience.
Conn feels he is very lucky in
another respect. He has two very
capable assistants in Carl Heintel,
head baseball coach. and Eddie
Roberts. Without them. he frank
ly admits he doesn't know what he
would have done. Conn was re-
leased from Washington-S -Subur-
ban Hospital last Wednesday. He

ailing shoulder and foot.

prepare for a big blow because
the Packers will hit the Redskins
with a pretty good team and well
balanced offenSe. Their record is
misleading, he claims, pointing to
close games with the Giants, ct;
the Cleveland Browns. 81 to IA,
and Pittsburgh Steelers, Z to s.
The 1877 rout by the Chicago
Cardinals was a nightmare Of in
tercepted passes, fumbles, ETC.,
which every team encounters
now and then. Throw it out, Jug
advises, because it isn't a true
gauge Of Packers strength.
This year, jug says, the Packers
have a couple of quarterbacks
in Rookie Babe Parilli from Ken
lucky and Veteran Tobin Rote,
who will furnish a ID punch
every club Is supposed to have.
Parilli is coming along nicely,
while Rote. in Earp's opinion, is
much better than his record in
dicateS.
Wait till you see them run with
the ball, jug enthuses. He says
Parilli is a wizard on optional
plays, while Rote's forte is run
ming from a spread.
The Packers signed nine of their
first 10 draft choices and their
advance man thinks Coach Gene
Ronzani got some good ones. Pa
rilli was No. /. Then came Bill
Howton, Rice end; Bobby Dillon,
Texas back, and Elmer Costa,
North Carolina State tackle, who
first went to the Browns, then
came back in another deal with

Reichardt, Iowa fullback. They
missed on Mel Beckett, Indiana
center, but got Darrell Teteak,
Wisconsin guard, and Art Kline

Reichardt was picked by the
Chicago Tribune as the outstand-
ing man at his position in the Big
Ten. jug said. and outgained
Michigan's entire backfield even
though his team lost 21-0.
Jack Cloud, former William and
Mary fullback who was out much
of last season. due to injuries, is
running hard again. carp says. He
also expects Fred Cone of Clem-
son. beginning his third year in
the National Football League, to
