NEW YORK, June 80
tNANA) Heck. I'm not lazy.
I like what I'm doing; I've
made a good living, and I've
tried a little of everything
said Bob Hope, pausing in
New York between trips to Ger
many and the Pacific Coast.
I've done vaudeville and
the legitimate stage and TV
and motion pictures and ra-
dio-just about all the medi-
ums except outright circus.
And 1 wouldn't mind that a
bit. I get around a lot. In
the type of acting I'm doing
I've got to keep moving. It's
safer that way.
I've often thought of going
into another Broadway show
it was Broadway, you know,
that really got me started
but I'm too wrapped up in this
TV thing and in the pictures.
Where does a fella get the
time TO do all he'd like to do?"
To Play Walker
Bob Hope, of the ski-slide
nose and the quick brain. mas
ter of the ad lib, has been
making personal appearances
in connection with his newest
picture. That Certain Feel
ing" Paramount release in
which he is starred with Eva
Marie Saint and George San
ders. During July he will
spend some time in New York
for background shots on Beau
James" the Jimmy Walker
story. Then back to Holly
wood for the filming of the
major portions Of it.
Hope, who grew up in Cleve-
land-it was there that he
learned tap dancing = has
circled the globe as an enter
tainer of troops. He has APP
peared at almost every Army
camp, Naval base and hospital
in America. He's wandered
back and forth across Europe;
he's been to Korea and to

Talks to Fans

ing fan magazine is the newest
thing in HOLLYWOOD
Leonard Kaufman and Bob
Levin. two publicity men. are
behind the unique venture.
Levin is also a screenwriter
C"The Bold and the Brave"l.
The magazine. called Hear,
has the usual stories on such
teen-ager favorites as Tab
Hunter, the late James Dean
and Marion Brando.
But with each issue come
two records pressed onto the
cover and back pages. Tony
Curtis talks to his fans in one
while an interview with Jane
Powell and her children is on
the other.

Critics Are DepIored,
But Are Here to Stoy

which is no Intangible at all
it's a little tangible called
publicity. and there are many
ways of using it. You must
have heard Of Jayne Mans
field? She has her picture on
the automobile page one day
sitting in the new 1857
Craveney coupe, the next day
she is modelling bagels at
Bayonne for the food section,
she is dedicating Fairgrounds
for unemployed child prodigies,
and not long ago she took time
out to hit page one because
Of hassle with Mae West.
Exploits Pay OFF
This young lady is, as the
old saying goes. amply en-
dowed"-and it is not her
fault that she happens to be
employed in a comedy called
will Success Spoil Rock
Hunter?" But it is a fact that
her ceaseleSs exploits pay off;
many a tired businessman has
found a new interest in the
theater and in this particular
show.
Another powerful and anti
critic element entering the
theatrical argument is the fact
that the opinion of reviewers
has little to do with most
musicals. Let's face it, the
public adores song and
dancers. there have been too
few good ones around lately
and the result is that they will
go for almost anything less
than imbecilic. The aisle
sltters gave wish You Were
Here" OF a few seasons ago a
unanimous bombardment, but
1t went on through the sum-
mer. the next season and
unless my spies have misled
me, made money. There are
several musical productions on
the boards today which, in the
estimate of most responsible
actuarieS are substandard. but
they continue to do business.
| won't mention names.
Somebody Has To
Talk like this got around. the
other night, to a consideration
OF why anybody needs a critic
on newspaper. went back
TO my original premise: "A
new play is news event; the
reader has a right to know if
It's worth his money or not,
and somebody has to tell him.
That's one of the reasons why
he buys the paper
yes" somebody else said,
but suppose there weren't any
papers? The news would come
by word-of-mouth, and it
would be the true word"
! asked this fellow, who l
was beginning heartily to de-
spise, which true word" he
would listen to. He said he'd
listen to somebody that went
to the plays all the time and
thought like he did.
We'll" | said. that's the
function of a critic. Only he
writes it in the paper instead
of going around talking about
it."
Maybe So" he said, but
he doesn't always think as l
do. d"
l believe newspapers and.
hence. critics are here TO stay.

NEW YORK, June 80
(NANA) The rhubarb about
what critics can do to a show
goes on endlessly and. it seems
to me. to faint purpose. They
can aid and they can do dam
age, there's no doubt of that.
But many notable productions
have triumphed and Topped
against the reviewers con-
sensus-and ! don't have to go
back to "Abie's Irish Rose"
There's an intangible, people
say, but they don't know quite
what it is.
Well, there's one thing.

had either such a field day or

The later, of course, is what
gives the Olney play its gilt
tering distinction and makes
it worthy of several times the

"Teahouse of the August
Moon" The John Patrick
comedy. one of the greatest of
modern hits, goes into its
seventh. and final, popular
week here tomorrow night.
Closing next Sunday night,
it will leave behind it not
merely the message that Oki-
naWanS have something vital
to teach Americans about liv-
ing, but also that plays can
say useful things in an anus
ing way. And say them most
emphatically for saying them
thus.
Both are plays that belong
in the Washington scene, and
the interest in them testifieS to
the communityS consciousness
that the theater is an eloquent
institution.
Hollywood offers its contri-
button to the timeliness of
Washingtons summer enter
tainment in a film that is as
charming as it is opulent.
The exhibit in question is
THE King and I" at the Cap
itol Theater. Particularly, it is
the delightful story of an Eng
liShwoman who, in 1862. dared
to 60 to Siam to become
teacher to the many wives and
many more children of an
Oriental potentate. Generally,
it is a case study in human
brotherhood, made the more
piquant by the circumstance
that one of the parties involved
is woman.
Spirit Intact
The King and l." a five
year hit on Broadway. has
been treated in the goth Gem
tury-Fox production. starring
Deborah Kerr and Yul Brun-
ner, as the sacred heritage it
is. True. in its romantic i'm
plications it choose to be ex-
plicit where the stage produc-
ton was implicit, but in spirit
it remains the same.
This spirit. expressed most
lyrically in some of the most
captivating Rodgers Hammer
stein music, is that humans are
more alike than their surfaces
and social systems reveal to
the all too indifferent eye.
The evidence offered by
three such simultaneous en-
tertainment offerings as these
makes it clear that the quality
of summer entertainment is
stratospherically above its old
fleShly level.
To a man leaving his town
and his typewriter for a few
weeks, it is comforting to feel
everyone remaining behind can
have a good time too.
Indeed. Tiger at the Gates"
and King and I" might even
be running when he returns.

Stay AT Homes in the Act
By SHEILA GALLAGHER

Although at this point it may seem to you
that everyone who is in anyway connected with
television is out at the convention Cities 1t may
be reassuring to know that some of the local
talent has remained in town. But as you turn
your TV dial you probably will find that even
the tay-at-homes are getting their fingers into
the political pie.
Ray Haney CwRC-4. weekdays Q AMI is
going to explain to his Little Rascals "as simply
as possible" something about the conventions,
the parties, and just what that donkey and
elephant stand for. AS for the famous party
mascots we suggest that Haney give his Riddles
the real low down on these anamules. It's true
that they were created in the 1870s by Cartoon
iSt Thomas Mast, who had some very definite
ideas in mind. But judging from a batch OF
literature on the subject from the Democratic
and Republican National Com m ittees it's
apparent that once symbol is accepted it can
be interpreted any number of ways by any
number of people The Republicans for
instance regard the donkey as stupid stubborn
critter-an obvious object of ridicule, whereas
the Democrats think that the very humility and
homeliness of their mascot is what endears him
to the people On the other hand. the Demo-
Gratis think of the elephant as an unmanagabe.
slow-moving, essentially docile creature, whereas
the Republicans talk about his dignity, strength
and above all his cleverness.
