Mamie Would Be a Star
Not the Best Actress

In addition to her movie ac-
WITHSTAND she's under con-
tract to producers Aubrey
Schenck and Howard Kock for
two pictures a year for the
next five years-Mamie has
completed the first half hour
film of a new television series,
1.-THE Shape, The Face and The
Brain" for Screen Gems. Il
play The Shape" she ex-
blamed, rather unnecessarily
THE Face" and THE Brain"
are played by Gail Robbins and
Virginia Field respectively.
Walked Into Films
Mamie broke into movies
just by walking across the Uni
versa international lot to
Stage II. She hadn't made a
test to prove she could act, and
she hadn't sung a song to prove
she was a singer. She just
walked across the lot-but
every producer who saw her
knew she ought to be in pic
lures.
She had gone to the studio
at the request of an assistant
casting director to be inter-
viewed for a singing bit role
in the Tony Curtis film, For
bidden." The part called for
a sultry brunei. Mamie was
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-20

even then a golden blond. She
wrapped up the role in 10 min
utes. and then signed a studio
contract. Four years and 10
pictures later she asked for
her release, feeling she could
fare better in the free-lance
field. She was right, for in her
first year away from the stu
dio she will earn three times
as much as she would have
made under contract.
Everything's Fine
She came away from U-I
with some acting experience
and a new name. When she
went to the studio originally
she had already changed from
Joan Olander-her mother had
named her after Joan Craw-
ford-to Zaba Olander. but
never really liked that be-
cause it sounded like a candy
bar" U-I changed it to Mamie
Van Doren. which she likes.
She's happily married to
Anthony but wants to con-
tinue with her career. IF a
career can ruin a marriage, 1
think it would be ruined any,
way Ray doesn't mind my
working. In fact, he likes it,

the only name above the title"
Mamie told me. 1.-The story
was written especially for me.
Remember that italian film,
Bitter Rice with Sylvana
Mangano? Well. this is sort
Of like that, only it takes place
in the cotton instead of the
rice fields. My wardrobe isn't
very extensive or expensive,
but who wears an evening
gown picking cotton?"
The picture also gives Mamie
a chance to sing. She began
her career as a singer, but has
never been called on to MARBLE
in a picture. Nantes voice
won't give Dinah Shore any
gray hairs. but she can sell a
song with the best of them.
When I asked if she wiggled
like Elvls when singing, she
shook her head and SAID, mo,
it's different. I just stand
there and throb-and throb
so hard I have to move around.
But I'm no Elvis."
She Can't Tell a Lie
NAMES outstanding attri-
butes-other than physical
are her complete honesty and
candor. I'm like George
Washington. I just can't tell a
lie" She's just naturally frank
and sometimes a bit undiplo-
matte. She says quotable
things that sound like spur-of-
the-moment at the time. I re-
member year or SO ago when
! was talking with her and
mentioned that jeff Chandler
had reconciled, Mamie am
swered. Gee, that's wonderful.
Who with?" And after she'd
called producer AL zugsmith
Mr.. Smith" in the VI COM
missary. a pal asked. why
did you call him Mr.. Smith?
His names zugsmith." An
swered Mamie: Il don't know
him well enough to call him

ing prospects lined up for next
fall.
Mrs. Larric estimates that
rs per cent of the productions
in a season share party bust
ness.
"All of the producers WOO
us now,' she comments.
There are several other
angles which the agents
stress: Benefit groups pay reg
ular box Office scale for all
tickets except to previews, for
which producers will cut rates
lbut previews. being less
socially tony, are harder to
selD; unsold tickets must be
returned to the box office;
and finally, benefit audiences
aren't the chill houses they
once were.

singing. He took me over to
Capitol Records the other day
and had me sing for some of
the executives there. Now it
looks as though ] might sign
a recording contract with
them. In fact, everything good
is happening to us. Rays tele-
vision show is successful, our
baby is strong and healthy,

it all keeps on like this"

Party agents in general feel
that harassed box Office treas
urers and the 70-odd Brokers
who retail show stubs are just
using them as an easy out.
They like to point out that the
laet benefit party to my Fair
Lady" was last June - but
tickets still are scarce.
The agents scott at the sug-
gestion benefit tickets end up
on the black market at
scalper prices.
"Out of a million such
tickets. if so get into the black
market, it's a miracle" asserts
Miss Tobin.
The big element in bene-
flts, agents stress, is contracts
for a performance are signed
long before show reaches
the Main Stem.
"Once a show opens, the
producer won't give us a

hunting trip. We had agreed to
be at the preserve by 5 for
breakfast,
AS we turned of into the
slumbering countryside along
Route 3 from Fredericksburg,
we thought of the horde of
hunters who would be seeking
deer. quail, squirrels or rabbits
at the opening of the season
yesterday.
Rabbits Abundant
OF rabbits, there was great
abundance, sharply outlined by
our headlights along the road
side. Along just one patch of
shocked corn, no less than four
were counted.
The preserve occupies more
than 500 acres fronting on Cur
riomen Bay. Besides duck hunt
ing, it offers pheasant shooting
and bass fishing in the spring
in a 20-acre lake.
Offshore Laton has a half
dozen blinds well-thatched with
brush and evergreens. On shore
are nine others. When condi-
tons are right, canvasbacks.
buffleheads, m allards, black
ducks, redheads. bluebills. widg-
cons, rudy ducks and whistlers
can be found there. Occasion
ally, flocks of geese come in.
Our guide was 16-year-old
Bill Booth from nearby Zacata

he said. "That1l bring the
ducks"
Another hour and the little
group Of rud dies that had
landed in the cove moved our
way. They stopped and Bill took
of with the outboard to stir
them up, hoping they would fly
toward us. One did, but not
close enough.
A little later there was a din
of honk-honking in the sky
behind the blind an two great
VS. Of geese came over, much
too far away for q shot.
Lone Rudy Duck Appears
Two more hours and the
Illustration had reached the
breaking point. Just then a lone
little rudy appeared, diving
repeatedly and coming uprcloser
and closer to the blind.
Now a ruddy duck is one Of
the smallest of the diving ducks
and though delicious eating
dresses out into no more than
a handful. Leveled at him were
buckshot ough to make
mincemeat as he swan towards
the decoys. Teeth almost
CRASHED as we aligned the sights
and then. just like the others,
he whirled disdainfully and
swan away.
That finished the hunting
and back to the clubhouse we
went, secretly glad that we
hadn't fired at the little rudy
duck,

FISHING

and If hunters find they're not
welcomed by many farmers,
they must admit they have
themselves to blame.
Too many fences have been
cut and livestock freed to wan
der to make the farmer any
thing but suspicious. One vet
eran told the other day of get
ting the cold shoulder at a
farm he used to hunt. Why?
Someone else had cut a 2-foot
hole in a fence gate to let a
dog through.
Every year novices take TO
the fields to fire away at any
thing moving. be it deer or q
heifer, and too often, his fellow
man. Some go into the woods
without knowing how to load
their weapon. A recent sugges-
ton was to require every person
buying a hunting license to
demonstrate his knowledge of
the use Of firearms and rules of
safety. Whether this would
work is a question. but the
problem merits much thought.

Two virgiiniians
Killed Hunting
OnOpeniinqDay
By the Associated Press

Virginia's general hunting
season opened on a grim note
yesterday with two killed.
There were reports Of minor
injuries suffered by other hun
tiers through accidental dis
charge Of weapons.
Two Augusta County men
have been charged with man.
slaughter in the death Of Mrs.
Valera B. Martin, wife of q
Fort Lee major.
A Shenandoah County man
was fatally wounded when
struck by a bullet police said
was fired by q l5-year-old
Strasburg youth.
Sheriff John Kent Of Augusta
said Mrs. Martin was shot
early yesterday as she and
her husband. Maj. L. d. Martin,
sat on a log.
Kent said Otto Sipe, rs, of
Mount Scion and Fairy Griffin,
"a. Of Churchville. came to his
office and said they had fired
two shots each in the North
River game refuge at a dis
lance Of about 100 yards from
the Martin couple. Kent said
the men told him they could
not see the couple but after
the shots were fired. they
helped put the wounded woman
in a car. Mrs. Martin died en-
route to q Harrisonburg hospi-
tai.
Kent said the shooting oc-
Cured at 6:35 am. Each man
was released on $500 bond TO
await a preliminary hearing.
Victim Of the shooting in
Shenandoah County was Rob-
ert M. Combs, A.. Police said q
slug from q high-powered rife,
pierced an artery in Combs
