appeared.
The closest I've been to this
turbulent character is chatting
with his wife and mother Of four
little Lanzas. The comely Betty
insists that her spouse IS not
temperamental, that he definitely
will appear on the TV show. and
is ready to resume his career.
Temperament is just a big
word that means no." says
Betty. "And Mario has had to
say no to a lot Of things because
his career is the most important
thing to him."
Betty can't understand why
her husband has been turned
into "some kind of q monster" I"
The reason he hasn't talked to
the press is because his attorneys
advised him not to, she explains.

and he is a real sweet guy. ] get

There are some people around

know, that will be on the new
Shower of Stars" which makes
its debut tomorrow night.
I am looking forward to this
show with a good deal Of real
anticipation. People have been
after me for a long time to ap-
pear on television, but up to
now I've consistently declined.
I seem to have a sort of sixth
sense about these things; some
how I couldn't feel that the
other times or the particular
vehicles offered were right for
me.
With this show, 1t was diff
ferent. To discuss this program
with agency and sponsor repre-
sentatives is to understand
clearly that their aim is to create
the most ambitious, comprehen-
sive and altogether the finest
production ever put together for
television. It has the inherent
quality and scope of appeal that
I have been waiting for in a
vehicle for my own TV bow.
\ r \ Il
I've been asked many times
what I think of television as a
medium for opera or concert
stars. The implication in many
cases is that the mass" audience
is somehow beneath the artist,
that his musical gifts are for the
appreciation only of a figurative
Diamond Horseshoe.
This, of course, is sheer non
sense, in my opinion. In Italy,
the home of my ancestors, opera
is loved and enjoyed by rich and
poor: the workman in his
patched shirt can be found in
the gallery drinking in the beauty
of the music with as keen an ap-
probation as that of the wealthy
people in the boxes below him.
To my mind. television is one
vast blending Of pit and gallery.
so that all the seeing and hear
ing world may enjoy the same
magnificent music. Lucky indeed
is the performer privileged to
reach that great audience.
\ X X
When I make my television
debut on Shower of Stars" it
probably will be very hot weather
over a large portion Of the United
States. It is quite probable. too.
that many people constituting
my audience will be sitting in
their own warm living rooms in

HOLLYWOOD.

CBS-TV executives here have a
whole new SET Of ulcers resulting
from their eagerness to sign up
the imponderable Mario LAMA
for their opening Shower of
Stars" show tomorrow night.
AS this was written, one could
still get odds around Hollywood
and Vine streets that the &C.
centric tenor would fail to ap-
pear for the big TV musical
extravaganza which also Is to
star Betty Cradle and Harry
James.
Mario has made no public ap-
pearance since he walked out
of MGM studios in a tiff nearly
two years ago. During this time
he was involved in a big legal
imbroglio with MGM, and cut
himself of completely from his
public.
No. one was more surprised
than the CHS heads a few weeks
ago when Mario said he would
be happy to appear on their
TV show.
But when the fun really
started Mario refused to give
out any interviews. he would not
rehearse at the studio until two
days before show time, and
allowed no new pictures Of him.
self to be taken.
Until three weeks ago he was
in a sanitarium sweating off
weight. It was reported that
he tipped the scales at 305
pounds. but his wife Betty, says
this is ridiculous. She claims
he weighs 210 now, but CHS
admits it's closer to $50.
Through all of this no one
has seen Mario except Gordon
jenkins, who will direct the or
chestra. and Miss Cradle. who is
scheduled to sing a "St. Louis
Blues" duet with him.
They have both had to go to
the LAMA home where he in
sisted on rehearsing.
One reporter rang the LAMA
doorbell, but was told by wife
Betty that Mario was not home.

TRAIL, B. C.-(P)-At Kimber-
ley, 80 miles northeast of here, is
perhaps the worlds largest source
Of indium, which may turn out to
be 10th Century Cinderella metal.
Scientists are seeking new and
wider uses of this sflveTy white ele-
ment, one of the softest metals
known. Indium resembles aluminium
and thallium in its properties. 1t
is almost soft enough to be chewed
Indium is used as an indicator
in atomic piles since radio-activity
can be induced easily in the metal.
AS an ingredient Of soldiers, it
lowers the melting point consider
ably. An indium-tin alloy makes
effective glass-tO-glass and glass
to-metal seal. Applied to bearings
in some aircraft and racing engines
it has valuable antiseizure quaH-
ties.
The mine at Kimberley could pro-
duce about million ounces annual
~ though production is much less
because the demand is small.
