Joan CAULFIELD, who plays the
~ comedy role OF Liz Cooper in
CBS' Television's My Favorite Hus-
band" is one of those rare Holly
wood actresses who is never salts
fed with her acting ability -. So,
look for her turning up one of these
days in the private studio of some
famed Shakespearean teacher
It's been that way with Joan ever
since, as a tow headed tomboy
back in East Orange. N. j., her
birthplace, she appeared in a XII
wants Club production of Shaw's
'Pygmalion. She knew she needed
a lot of training even for a small
part, and she went after it.
She acted in dramatic classes
and clubs of the various schools
she attended from local parochial
classes to Columbia University . e.
At the latter school she paid her
tuition by modelling for Harry Con-
over She made a big splash
in the Broadway pool with the role
of Corliss Archer in kiss and
Tell and it wasn't long before
Hollywood beckoned Her first
picture was Miss Susie Slagle'
followed by Blue Skies" with Ring
Crosby.
BUG FOR PERFECTION
With a series of screen successes
behind her, the gal still was not
happy with her work {. She knew
she needed more specialized ex-
perience 8. OF her own devising,
she had her husband, Producer
Frank Ross, take her out on a
tour with a stock company
They did, among other plays,
''VOice of the Turtle Dream
'GirP' and Claude" She got
lot from this transforming vaca-
tiOn from the kleig lights. but she
wasn't satisfied yet So, she
started TO study acting with the
noted Russian ChekhOv in Holly
wood
''It sounds ridiculous, to keep on
studying" she laughs, "but l be-
came very interested in going to
ChekhOv's classes on Monday and
Tuesday nights As a result,
found a whole new kind of exciting
life.

cratic leadership.
Mr.. Howell says economic con-
ditioas, especially Unemployment.
are the pre-eminent issue. He,
accuses the G. o. P. Of a "callous"

ployed Is considered somewhere
