NEW YORK.
Although she had more than
10 successful years in Aims,
attractive Dorothy Mcclure
prefers her television :'live."
This Is in contrast to the
stand of many movie stars who
have refused to appear in
TV except in filmed shows.
II prefer live shows because
they have a sense of immediacy
and excitement which COM
municates itself to the audi
ence," relates the attractive
blond actress.
"And I like hour-long dra-
matte, television shows. You
can tell a story in an hour,
but I don't believe you can
tell it so well in a half hour"
This, too, varies from the
pattern of most performers
whose principal activity still
is the movies. They generally
make their TV appearances on
half-hour shows.
Miss Mcclure, whose latest
film is Three Coins in the
Fountain" could hardly be
called a TV regular with only
two featured roles thus far,
but those two are enough to
convince her she likes it.
Her first dramatic video role
was a few seasons ago in
Dark Victory" on the Robert
Montgomery show and her
second was a couple of weeks
ago in "a Garden in the Sea"
on the ~. S. Steel Hour" But
she already is preparing for
another role, as star of ITO
Each His Own" which
launches the expanded one
hour version of "Video Thea
ter" on NBC-TV Thursday,

adaptation of the film Of the
same name.

not SO. "Porgy and Bess" was
not smashing success, play
ing Is weeks In New York and
10 on the road. Smallens went
back to his symphonic and
operate conducting.
In 1910 he was appearing
in Washington, d. c., when
he received a call from Pro-
Queer Cheryl Crawford, who
wanted to revive the opera at
a Maplewood, N. j., summer
theater and proceed to Broad
way if it went well. Smallens
agreed, but suggested junking
the sung dialogue.
Revision Did X
Georges music to Ira's
lyrics was inspired, like Gill
bert and Sullivan" said Small
ems. But his music to Du
Bose Heyward's prose was out
of place."
The new gimmick worked,
and "Porgy" prospered for
three years, including 81 weeks
in New York. In 1852, it was
revived by Producer Robert
Breen and sent to Europe by :.
the State Department.
ut was the greatest ambas-
sador to Europe the United
States has ever had" said
Smallens. 1--WE played Vienna,
London, Paris and Berlin and
the reception was overwhelm-
ing. It was sent as a counter
irritant to the Communist
propaganda about the treat
ment of minorities in this
country.

Negroes. And they were!"
After the local stand. "Porgy"
will return to- Boston, Toronto
and Montreal. then the Venice
festival and European opera
houses, possibly including La
Scala. A film version may be
shot abroad.
Smallens carries the score
in his head, and I asked If it
didn't sometimes rattle around
in there.
ooh. occasionally it will
start playing in my mind" he
admitted, "but after a few
minutes I can shut it of. It's
quite easy"

IT love my fans" gushes
many a movie star. Not so
Cary Grant.
He says bluntly what most
stars probably feel: Fans can
be a nuisance.
There's certain irony
about actors. When they are
young, they work like the
dickens to be recognized. Then,
when they reach stardom,
they try to conceal themselves.
After talking to Grant, ! can
understand why.
1t all began quietly enough
when I visited the set of
Catch a Thief" The elegant
E-r. Grant, who has more
style than any male star you
can mention, was seated in his
dressing room unoccupied. So
I asked him about the
freighter trips he and his wife
take. She's Betsy Drake, the
actress.
It's Like This
The Grants have travelled to
all parts of the world on
freighters, and I wondered
why he favored them. He
became eloquent as he de-
scribed the voyage of a movie
star on one of the luxury
liners.
ITO begin with" he began,
"there are $500 crew mem
bers on one of those ships.
Each one of them has an
autograph book of his own, or
else he is carrying one for his
daughter or son. You have to
sign each one of them.
Then there's the ships
photographer. He sees to it
that you pose for pictures with
every other passenger obtain
able. Then he sells them to
the passengers for five bob
or so cents or whatever. He
makes his living that way.
In addition, there are those
who save up the menus every
night to take home with them
why, don't know, because
1t merely adds to their bag
gage. Anyway, you have to
sign each one. You're just
about to sip a bit of soup and
some one taps you on the
shoulder and asks for your
autograph. Then all the pas
sengers are writing postcards
and letters and naturally they
want you to write a few lines
to their aunt Matilda.
"And, of course, every pas
senger has two cameras criss-
crossed on his chest and they
want a picture with you. If
you're in the shade, they want
you out in the sun; If you're
in the sun, they want you in
the shade.
Come the DRINKS
You try to get some sleep.
but the DRINKS are beating on
your stateroom all night, want
ing to buy a drink for you.
Then at seven in the morning,
the small fry are up and
pounding on the door for
autographs.
THE result is that you
either have a miserable time
or you're rude. I'm rude. I tell
them I never sign anything.

A Lasting Love
I found SmallenS relaxing
at his hotel between perform
ances here and asked him
more about his record-break-
ing love affair with ''P. and B."
He said it all began 20 years
ago. He had, just conducted
the premiere of Virgil Thorn
sons -Four Saints in Three
Acts in New York. George
Gershwin, who had been a
casual friend, rushed backStage
with enthusiasm.
ALEX, I'm writing q grand
opera, and I want you to con-
duct it." said the composer.
Three days later, he played
the score for Smallens, who
"fell in love with it."
He conducted the first per-
Torrance at the Colony Thea

1885. The drama critics liked
