HOLLYWOOD.


BY training, Gene Barry
should be the screens hottest
lover since Valentino, but
Hollywood logic casts him as
a nuclear phycist.
What other star was taught
to kiss via the private tutor
ing of the queen herself? And
graduated maxima cum laude?
Barry's tutor was Mae West.
"At my first addition for a
role in Macs play, Catherine
Was Great she looked me up
and down and sideways. then
glanced at a young actress
nearby and said, Mr.. Barry,
let's see how you kiss
He FIunked
Barry took the young ac-
tress, cupped her head in his
hands and bent her back al
most to the floor.
II smothered that girl with
q kiss that would have done
justice to John Gilbert" says
Barry. Mae put her hands
on her hips and, in an aside
to an aide, said:
Have Mr.. Barry stay. after
school tonight. He needs some
private lessons"
Mae preceded the after
school session with a lecture
on the mechanics of a Mae
West kiss. They are hilarious
but unprintable.
Then Mae kissed Gene, some
80 years younger than she.

MoriIyn Is Mognified
But First Comedy in CinemoScope Process
Nearer the Biggest, Than Best Ever Made
By Joy Cormody

cent camera developments.
Blending several stories did
not achieve this in the initial
try. CinemaScope did nothing
for the result that I'D could
not have done, possibly better
in some respects.
This is not to say that the
new process does not add
dazzling aspects to How to
Marry a Millionaire" 1t does,
but these are merely visual
or scenic and create OCCASION
ally unflattering contrast. 1t
is not to the advantage of the
glamorous trio of heroines in
the film that the camera
rather frequently pans" from
the New York skyline to them
in the cozy intimacy of their
boudoir.
Something dramatic is lost
and no ardor for Miss Monroe
can nullify the sense that it
has been. !
One is suddenly sharply
aware that while the picture is
undoubtedly the biggest COM
edy every made, it is not no
ticeably the best. On this score,
the producing studio might
come up swinging with the an
sWer that no one ever said it
was. This is true but it hardly
meets the high, if not alto
gether justified, expectations
of a public set for revolution.
A Doubt Is Roised
This churlish reaction to the
pioneer, big screen comedy re-
fleets no loss of basic faith. 1t
is instead a tentative heresy
based upon the possibility that
the pictures popularity might
lull the producers into con-
tinued mismating of old story
with new process.
Such a thing could happen.
On the old small scale, the
Misses Monroe, Cradle and
Bacall were enticing girls, al
though not necessarily in that
order. Enlarged this way, they
might arouse a curiosity which
could be confused in box Office
returns with artistic merit.
The promise of Cinema
Scope, among other new de-
velopments, is. too bright to
make such a prospect toler-
able.

started when a Journal edi-
torial ,deplored the peddling Of
nostrums by TV announcers
dressed in white coats and
stethoscopes to impersonate
doctors.
A great deal of correspond
ence passed back and forth
between the ANA and the
code board (and Capitol HilD.
The networks were asked to
review their sales messages in
relation to the code provision
that in such commercials "it
should be made apparent 4.
that the portrayal is drama
tized." The ANA seemed
pleased by the results in the
letter DR.. George F. Lun, sec
retary and general manager OF
the association, wrote to Rep
resentative Charles A. Wolver-
ton. chairman of that House
Commerce Committee. Wrote
DR.. Lull: Our relationship
with the NARTB has been
most cordial and we greatly
appreciate the cooperation
we have received"
Viewer Thanked All
The first of the anonymous
samples of code actions con-
Germs a viewer in Illinois who
objected to a dance routine
seen on TV. The board took
the matter up with the shows
producer and director. Two
weeks later the same viewer
wrote to thank "all concerned
for the complete change in
the content of this feature"
Another complaint involved
the dress of nationally
known performer who had ap-
peared on a program of wide
distribution and presented at
an early evening hour" A
conference with the network
officials was called and opera
tions were frightened so it
wouldn't happen again. Ac-
cording to the boards report,
complaints against this type
of offense have practically
disappeared"
Still another viewer took
offense at the singing of what
sounds like Gloomy Sunday

poison by two characters in a
play. Watch that said the
board to the Originating

viewer who objected 70 some

got in touch with the network

that "even before I had heard

of avoiding this kind of thing"

The Passing Show

A man hllarlouSly under the
influence of alcohol might
suddenly be seized by the no.
ton that the second Cinema
Scope film. How to Marry a
Millionaire" is a duel between
Marilyn Monroe and the
cinema critics.
This would be quite IRA
tional on his part.
Critics are smarter than
prizefighters. They seldom
overmatch themselves. In the
case of the first CinemaScope
comedy, about which many
have waxed unenthuSiastic,
they are not taking on Miss
Monroe in a popularity con-
test. All they seek to do is
state their reservations. If, in
spite of this, Miss Monroe, as
big now as the Statue of Lib
erty, becomes three times more
popular than ever, the critics
will not feel sighted.
No Strategy Involved
Nor is this because their
= strategy is one of attrition or
that they feel Miss Monroe
can be left safely to corrosive
time. Miss Monroe is but OBJ
iquely involved.
Critical interest in How to
Marry a Millionaire" lies else
where, mainly in whether the
huge new process adapts
readily to a film story of
merely average dramatic sur
face and depth. This was far
less of a consideration with
"The Robe" It was majestic
pag eantry, its stage the
Middle East of early Chris
tiandom.
The second picture is a ro-
mantle comedy. Its setting is
a fashionable New York pent-
house apartment. These are
quite different areas and rep
resent quite a different test
of the big. new, beautiful way
of making movies
CinemaScope finds it also a
tougher test. It attempts to
meet it bravely, by ballooning
Miss Monroe, Betty Cradle and
Lauren Bacall into giantesses.
When they reach out an arm.
1t is longer than the limb of
a New Hampshire avenue elm
tree. And, when they spraw!
on a chaise Tongue, their legs
are as big as the trunks of
sequoiaS, although naturally
much more shapely.
But Where's Depth?
This advantage of Cinema
Scope is incontrovertible. But
the question is does the COM
edy impact of it all enlarge
proportionately? Is How to
Marry a Millionaire" funnier
in a fattering way-than it
would have been in the old
I'D package.
This admirer of the latest
developments in movie pack
aging thinks not. 1t does not
follow from this that the next
enlarged medium comedy will
be the same. or that the proc
ess cannot be adapted to any
type of story or treatment.
It is just that the first one is
not it, as first ones so often
are not in heirs to thrones or
filtered cigarettes.
An intimation that Nunnally
johnson, one of the most agile
writer-p producers, felt the
same way is apparent in the
credits on the Silken introduc-
ton to the film. His comedy,
Mr.. johnson makes the credits
say, is based upon plays by
Zoe Atkins, Dale Eunson and
Katharine Albert. Not one
play by any one Of these va
riously nimble dramatists, but
plays"

WILKINS BLUE MARLIN
MAY BE A NEW RECORD

Hatteras. = Because he landed
the fish on light tackle and 81
thread line, the 383-pound blue
marlin boated by Bill Wilkins of
Norfolk near the western edge
of the Gulf Stream off Hatteras
on May 30. A record of his
catch has been sent to Francesca
LaMonte, secretary and statis-
tician of the International Game
Fish Association.
Wilkins was using SO reel,
12-ounce tip rod and 81 thread
line with test of three pounds
per thread when he hooked the
big fish with a strip of albacore
skipped from outriggers aboard
the sportsfisherman Amelia Sue,
cruiser owned by his father
Walter Wilkins of Norfolk.
If Wilkins big marlin becomes
an all-tackle record in its class,
this will not be the only all
tackle record made by an angler
in Dare waters. Last year Mrs.
Florence Black of Chillicothe
Ohio, landed 97-pound cobia,
the largest ever taken by a wo-
man and an all-tackle record in
its class.

by A1COCk bHOWN
Robert Frost, noted American
poet, lecturer and teacher visited
the birthplace of English-speak-
ing America here on Wednes-
day and in the registration book
beside his Vermont address he
wrote:
''This land was ours before we
were the lands
She was our land more thar
a hundred years
Before we were her people
She was ours
In Massachusetts,, in Virginia
But we were in England's, still
coloniaIs
Possessing. what we were un-
possessed by.
Possessed by what we now
no longer possessed"
The excerpt from his "The
Gift Outright" was one of the
four series of poems which won
Pulitzer prizes for Robert Frost
He was the guest at the Kitty
Hawk home of Huntington
Cairns Of the National Gallery
of Art in Washington, D. c.
who is sch eduled for g
trip to Europe in search of arr
treasures next week.
Mr.. Frost came here from
Chapel Hill where he was earlier
this week awarded with a Doctor
of Letters honorary degree
awarded at the University Oh
North Carolina. He was accom-
panied here by Clifford Lyons Of
the University faculty.
Of Frost and his poems writers
have said this: "The language
of his poems are not so simple
as they sound Beneath the cas-
ual tone there is a teasing humol
and q searching philosophy :.
Frost is one of the few Ameri
can poets who combine playful.
ness with deep thought, and
humor with seriousness"
A native of California, Frost
has spent most of his life in Yer.
! mont. He had visited the Dare
coast land tramped over The
mes of Mays Head" in the
~ ' IS, go years ago. Even Their
youth he was poetic minded
wrote these lines:
On one side lay the ocear
and on one,
Lay great water and the
