heat wave had come and gone and it was q
chilly, gray day on Long Island Sound. The
weather, in fact, was much more becoming to a
fall theater opening in Manhattan than to the
opening Of the summer season Of the WeStport
Country Playhouse.
Arlene Francis, star of "Once More With
Feeling" which opens the season here was
crouched within the folds OF royal blue winter
coat. Underneath she had on black velveteen
Stacks and sweater 1t was no day for ging-
ham,
Rehearsal was in progress within the ram
bling red barn of theater but Miss Francis was
outside on the porch, looking for a warm place
to sit for our interview.
Miss Francis, who has just completed q
nine-month run on Broadway with "Once More
With Feeling" will do the play only in Westport.
Betsy Palmer will star in the show on the sum-
mer theater circuit and Miss Francis claims
she is going to take holiday.
It is difficult to be clinical about so familiar
personality as Arlene Francis but actually, her
career, in its relation to TV, is significant
case study.
Long before the coming of TV, she had
been an actress, mostly on radio, and she had
reasonably steady work. However, 1t was TV
which made her q Nationwide personality,
literally household word.
Her name synonymous with televiSion.
SIMULTANEOUSLY SHE WAS Tie SIdE VI Tic ua41y
Home Show on NBC, the star of the weekly
House Party on ABC, and a regular panel mem
Der of What's My Line? on CHS.
But what comes next? Can she retrace her
triumphant path on TV? Does she want to
come back to TV with her own show? Or does
she want to return to Broadway in another
play?
Her answer was both simple and direct.
ST want to do BOTH" she said.
I'D like to do another Broadway show, the
next time in more serious part, and I very
much want another TV show. I miss Home
terribly. I loved doing that, and I'd like to do
something else like 1t.
i've got several ideas for television and
hope one Of them will work out by fall. One
thing I'd adore to do as one-shot spectacular,

apartment in Manhattan, and have bought Q
smaller one at the Ritz-Towers.
I'VE felt we had to simplify life little"
said Miss Francis. My friends think I have the
three-year itch. Every three years we move. But
1t takes so much time and energy to run Q
12-room apartment. 1 never had one hour to
myself"
The first two weeks in August, Miss Francis
will take over on Today, while Dave Garroway
is on vacation She hasn't pinned down the last
two weeks of that month, but something will
surely turn up.
She has earned enormous sums Of money
and has had great pleasure in both the spending
and the saving of it. She has had extraordinary
professional success and extraordinary affection
both from her colleagues and her fans
In an unkind business, one rarely hears an
unkind word about Arlene Francis. Perhaps
this is because she herself seems to be instinc-
lively, inherently kind.
1t is quality not to be overlooked They
don't give Emmys and Oscars for 1t. It's rarely
mentioned when listing the measurements OF
glamour girls, but with half chance, it makes
its own contribution to staying power.

Big Shots to Be GriIIed
In Senate Ring Probe

Dixon said investigators are
seeking Anthony Cat Tony
Salerno of Harlem for ques-
tioning about outsiders ef-
forts to cash in on the heavy
weight match in which Ingemar
Johansson Of Sweden won
Floyd Patterson's world title
this year. No one has charged
that anything was wrong with
the fight itself.
Frankie Carlo of New York,
long a behind d-the-Scenes power
in boxing, is regarded as a sure
shot witness in the subcommit-
tee inquiry. Carlo is awaiting
sentence on his plea of guilty
to three criminal charges in
volving boxing. Another po-
tential witness is Mickey Cohen,
who says he has broken with
the gangs and is going straight
now. Cohen invoked the Fifth
Amendment when the Senate
Rackets Committee sought to
quiz him earlier this year about
the sources of his finances.
Dixon said two former heavy
weight champions, Jack Demp-
Sey and Gene Tunney. probably
will be invited to offer their
suggestions for a cleanup Of
boxing.
He said the evidence is pretty
clear that something is needed
to combat shady and monopo-
listic practices.

Senate investigators say
their search for evidence Of
underworld infiltration Of the
boxing business will bring in
some big shot witnesses for
questioning.
The Senate Antitrust and
Monopoly Subcommittee plans
to launch the public hearings
in January. Its announced OBJ
jectives are to show whether
gangsters and others of evil
fame have gained too strong
a foothold in boxing and
whether monopolistic practices
are involved. New legislation
may be proposed.
Senator Kefauver of Ten
neSsee, the subcommittee chair
man, has said proposals for
wedding out the unsavory
characters range all the way
up to a scheme for licensing
the entire interstate boxing
industry and all those engaged
in it.
Paul Rand Dixon, subcom-
mittee counsel, told newsmen
the hearings may start with the
alleged efforts of hoodlums to
share in the profits from world
heavyweight and welterweight
title matches.
He said the subcommittee
also wants more facts about
allegations that powerful un-
derworld figures, or men with
underworld connections, have
asserted increasing power over
matchmaking and used this as
a means for profitable monop-
olistic practice.
