HOLLYWOOD (NANA).-
One of the oldest of the tear
jerking tales about show
business is that of the long
neglected understudy. Night
after night she watches from
the wings, secretly hoping
the star will drop dead, or at
least break a leg. so she can
go out and display her hid
den talents.
Also, as the fiction usually
has it, when the lucky mo-
ment does come a big pro-
ducer from Hollywood just
happens to be in the audi
ence and backstage he
rushes to sign the new sensa-
ton.
Sounds like unadulterated
bunk, doesn't it? And yet
Shirley MacLaine, the former
Arlington (VaD girl and to-
day one of Hollywood'S
brightest. lived through just
such an experience - right
down to the last detail. Ex-
cept. of course, Shirley def
nitely did not want Carol
Haney. the star of "Pajama
Came" to drop dead = but
just to get a little tired and
drop out for a nights rest.
Broken Ankle Helps
AS it happened, Carol
broke her ankle and Shirley
was elected to take over. And
as for the big tycoon from
Hollywood" he was and is
Hal Wallis. He had come to
the theater to scout Miss
Haney. He remained to purr
over Shirley's replacement
performance and to go back
and talk to her about a Hol-
lywood career right after the
final curtain. With an OPEN
ing touch of establishment,
we'll go on with the story
from Shirley herself:
He offered me about so
cents a week." Shirley grim
aced over lemonade (she

He then countered by say
ing if I'd screen test, maybe
he'd find out I was worth
more. I agreed to that"
Shirley, assuming that a
musical number would be ex-
pected of her, arrived at the
New York test studio wear
ing high-heeled shoes and
dancing toys. Instead, di.
rector Danny Mann told her
to lust talk about yourself
for a few minutes while the
cameras roll. Give me your
background"

This unique method of
having a prospect "sell him.

Wallis promptly signed her
and at a much better price,
Shirley added. Since then

actress has literally hung up

Shirley credits her success
to hard work, ambition, good

Carol Haney's weak ankles.
When I was in 'Pajama

THE PASSING SHOW
BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Editor Of The star


BERLIN,-Henceforth, re-
CARELESS Of any argument,
we shall fancy ourselves as
an authority on film festi-
walls, a phenomenon to be
found rather abundantly on
the summer scene Of Europe.
This is a right earned by
the sweat of our brow in one
OF the hottest summers this
continent has known in the
10th century.
1t was earned by working
ones way through, the largest
most intense festival crowds
we have ever seen; seeing
more pictures in two weeks
than we see in four months in
Washington; making more
speeches in more carefully
chosen words than ever be-
fore: listening to more for
eign languages than we re-
membered to exist; meeting
more people to whom we
were either a foreigner or a
acknowledgment than expe-
rience had prepared us for;
and encountering concepts,
political. social. and moral,
that became more staggering
from hour to hour.
Approach Open Minded
BY temperament ddealis-
tic) and by briefing (realis-
tic) in Washington before
embarking upon the task of
being a juror in the Berlin
festival. our approach to this
experience was determinedly
open-minded.
This attitude can be very
hard on the mind, much in
the way O Washington sum-
mer storm can be on a bed
of petunias. This is to say it
is drenching. battering, and
dismaying. But the Juror
who survives 1t, and all IL of
us representing 10 countries 4
did, can fancy himself as a
stout fellow who has per-
formed and survived an act
of international good will.
One can describe a film
festival by saving it is lin
describable" but this is a
classic evasion. unworthy of
the fervor with which Ger
many's paraplegic former
capital puts into its fiestaS.
More worthy of this spirit at
least is an attempt at defini-
ton that says this event is
like a Fourth of July that
lasts two weeks.
Treasured Experience
Fourths of July that last
two weeks are rare in the
United States and. if it we're
tactful to say SO. this is a
flattering comment on the
common sense of that coun-
try.
Saying this. however. is not
to intimate that being a fes-
tival Juror in Berlin is not an
experience to be treasured
for a lifetime. 1t acquaints
one. instantly and intimately
with the gay people of a bat
tered and still hollow-eyed
city which is nevertheless
brave and somehow beauti-
full. Also it brings one into
contact with the movies of
dozens Of countries - Korea,
Malaga, Indonesia for ex-
ample-and the people who
make them.
True, one can live without
these but it seems richer and
more rewarding to live with
them.

DETROIT, Sept. Is R.-
Quarterback Bobby Layne re-
turned TO the practice field
today while the Detroit Lions
maintained silence on whether
he had been fined or disciplined
following his arrest on a drunk
driving charge early yesterday
Layne pleaded innocent to
the charge in Trafhe Court and
was freed on $50 bail pending
a trial October II.
The Lions rejected his offer
to resign from pro football fol-
lowing his arrest. Layne said
he felt his arrest had embar-
raised the team.
Head Coach George Wilson
told newsmen, I'm sure Bobby
will play out the year and be
back for one or two more sea-
sons. AS far as I am concerned,
the incident Is closed"
Layne drew support from an
other source when Bert Bell,
NIL commissioner. told the De-

asset to football, both on and
OF the field. Everybody makes
mistakes once in a while. even
me. I'll stand on Layne's record
as a football player and q nice
guy"
Wilson said the Lions never
would make public what dis
ciplinary action or fine. II any,
they took against Layne.
