It's cinch to get trapped in
the "referral selling" scheme
flouriShing all over the country
as you read this. For your own
protection, therefore, learn how
the scheme is operated and the
ways to stay out of the trap.
It starts with a neighbor or
friend telling you that he has
discovered a way you can get
something you'd like to have
absolutely free or far below
cost-say a home fire alarm
system or a garbage disposal
unit, q vacuum cleaner or a
new car, etc. When you natural
" ask "how?" the neighbor re-
plies that he'll send a salesman
at an appointed time who will ex-
plain the wonderful deal in
detail.
The salesman arrives, goes
into @ persuasive discussion
about how much advertising ex-
penses add to the price of the
product he's marketing. For
illustration. let's say it's a fire
alarm system costing $500. The
salesman reveals that after ex-
hsustive surveys, the manu-
facturer has decided to expert
ment with selling via word-of-
mouth instead of advertising
campaigns and to give the
money saved on advertising in
the form of credits to all
buyer representatives" VIII
will, by word = of mouth, help
sell the product to neighbor
friends, relatives.
The neighbor who sent the
salesman to you will get a $50
credit toward the purchase OF
his fire alarm system If you
buy and, in turn, you'll qualify"
for a $50 credit on each addi-
tional sale that results through
your efforts.
An Appealing Pitch
This is quite an appealing
pitch and you figure you should
be able to find at least six
bona fide customers for the
product-which would give you
your system free - and maybe
you can even make q profit
Spurred on by high pressure
selling, you sign the papers
making you a buyer repre-
sentative" and you put down
q small deposit.
But now think this through

SHELAH MAY GET ANGRY,
BUT AIMS TO ENTERTAIN
By HENRIETTA LEITH
Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK.-A tall and somewhat gawky British
young lady just out of her teens and in the first day
of her first visit to New York went to Broadway show
Later she said she thought the performance was
great"
Quite a bite different" from the performance of
the play in London, of course and at took bit
of getting used to-"
But she said, Il think it's pretty good on the whole"
Sheagh Delaney age 90 was seeing for the first
time the Broadway production of the hit play "A Taste
OF Honey'-written by Shelagh Delaney.
Miss Delaney, who is six feet tall and wears her
black hair in fashionably unruy mop showed all of the
seriousness about the theaer one might expect from
dedicated veteran.
She was serious about whether the theater in Eng
land should be "poltca"-she doesn't think so-and
whether playwright should Stand up and preach" to
get across his message-"This is not my way"
She was quite serious about press agents descrp-
ton Of her not of the angry young" paywrightS

But she made it plain that matter how angry she
may get about the nucear threat and other such matters

On his scorecard, MY Fair

for 1t is nowhere in sight,
whatever that may mean ul-
timately in its runner-up con-
test with oklahoma"
And, he went on to point
out, there is so much more to
the total story of My Fair

notable birthday this week, the
fourth, tomorrow, for the Ma
tional Company, which played
here last summer at the
National.
An impressive pair Of birth
days, these, coming in the same
week with st. Patrick's, but
even they do not begin to tell
the total My Fair Lady" story
Mr.. Nancy, who is the shows
press agent, goes on to fill in
other impressive details.
Among these are the fact
that the Lerner-Loewe musical
version Of "Pygmalion" is now
in its third year at the Theatre
Royal, Drury Lane, in London;
in its third year, also, at the
OscarSteatren, in Stockholm;
its 43d week at Her Majesty's
in Sydney; its 9th week at the
Carre Theatre in Amsterdam;
and It's seventh at Her Majesty's
in Auckland, New Zealand.
AS a scorekeeper, Mr.. Nancy
adds: "Lingual variations OF
the musical have been cheered
in Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki
Mexico City, Melbourne" The
National Company, he goes on
%recessed for 10 weeks last
spring to play engagements in
Moscow, Leningrad, and KieV

Mr.. Nancy, in a MY Fair
Lady" birthday mood, as he
might well be, was not thinking
of setting up the statistical
target at which Carnival" will
one day quite possibly be
shooting.
Nevertheless, what he has to
say may provide a more salts
Tying answer than the complete
confusion into which critics are
thrown when they are asked

Chuck Curtis Develops
As Topers' Top Player

Chuck Curtis, a 6-foot-7,
215 FOUNDER who almost didn't
get to play for the Washington
Tapers, fast is becoming the
new American Basketball
League clubs top player.
Curtis, who is "a years old
today, played with the Tuck
Tapers in the National Indus
trial Basketball League last
year. When the league dis
banded, Curtis was claimed by
the Hawaii Chiefs of the new
ABL.
But Paul Cohen. the Tapers'
general manager, snapped Fred
Sawyer, the 6-foot-ll defensive
standout from Louisville, TO
Hawaii for Curtis. Curtis was
the Tuck TaperS most valuable
player last year and Cohen felt
he was necessary to build a
winner in Washington.
Curtis was one of three play
ers for the Tapers last year that
Cohen had to deal for this year.
Tony jackson was on ne Pitts
burgh roster and Sylvester 5lye
belonged to the Los Angeles
Jets.
Cohen regained Jackson in a
three -cornered deal with Pitts
burgh and San Francisco and
then picked up Blye in a
deal with the Jets.
Curtis received Little ALL
American mention while at Pa
cific Lutheran College. He also
played football we'll enough to
be drafted by the Detroit Lions
and earned a letter in baseball.
Chuch also is a golfer.
Cohen, the president of the
Technical Tape Corp, said he
was reluctant to part with
Sawyer, who had a no-cut con-
tract with the Tapers.
But he also wanted Curtis
badly and made the deal to
bring him back to the Tapers'
fold.
