PHILADELPHIA.-When a
water pipe broke in his home,
frankie Avalon wanted to
pay the $847 repair bill. After
all, the rock m roll singer
was worth $106. 900.
But his father, Nicholas
Avallone, a factory worker
then sidelined by illness, had
to borrow money from a
bank to fix the pipe.
Frankie's money was
guarded by an ancient Penn
sylvania institution known
as Orphans Court. The court
stood by the young singers
side, glowering at anyone
who wanted to spend his
money without good reason.
1t eventually approved the
$S47.
In the same way, Phila-
delphia's Orphans Court
protects three more famous
rock n roll singers.
They are 18-year-old Fa-
bian, whose last name is
Forte; 19-year-old Chubby
Checker, whose real name is
Ernest Evans, and 18-year-
old Bobby Rydell, whose cor
rect name is Robert Louis
Ridarelli.
All except the 20-year-ol
Avalon. who has moved, are
from South Philadelphia
homes in lower middle
class neighborhoods.
Guardians Bonded
Avalon'S father was
injured in a factory accident
in 1857, just as his son was
beginning to click as a
singer. He also suffered two
heart attacks. But his son
couldn't help.
Under Pennsylvania law,
whenever a minor Cunder 2D
acquires an estate or makes
a contract, his business af-
fairs must be handled
through Orphans Court.
A "disinterested" guardian
never a PARENTS ap-
pointed to handle all trans
actions: The guardian is
bonded and can be sur
charged if he loses money
through poor judgement.
Avalon'S guardian, Peter
Ierardi, an accountant, is
a friend of the family and
also an associate of Robert
Marcucci, Avalon'S manager
While Frankie's wealth was
growing from less than $l00
in 1857 to $106.000 I'M 1859,
the family's medical bills and
expenses were piling UP.
Frankie's fame was causing
some of these expenses. but
the youth could not touch his
money.
There was $l,O83 for tele-
phone. gas and electricity
mostly phone calls involving
frankie and $875 to re-
model the kitchen so frankie
could entertain the many
people who visited him.
There was also $1,700 for
the fathers medical bills,
$615 for income taxes, $3.50
for the fathers life insur-
anCe, So41 IOr Cne water pipe,
and similar expenses.
Paid and Reprimanded
Ierardi decided to pay the
hard-presSed parents from
their sons estate. He did SO
without first getting court
approval, and he was repri-
manded. But, after a hear
ing, Judge Harold D. Saylor
approved the outlay.
He also awarded the par
ents $1l0 a week so they
could provide a good home
for frankie. But they have

TO repay the money unless
frankie, when he becomes
81, elects to cancel the debt.
"We watch these things
closely" Saylor said at a re-
cent interview, "and as q
result these men are con-
scientious with their boys.
They might not be If we:
weren't so strict. On the
other hand, they might have
gambled more and made
more" ~
Financially Solid
Avalon, who will be 81 and
on his own next September,
has a net worth of $153,000,
according to a financial
statement filed with the
court this month. Fabian's
net worth was $4,000 at
last accounting, and he re-

But when Chubby Checker
whose record, "The Twist"
was a recent fayorite among
teen-agerS-asked the court
if he could help his parents,
the judge said no.
The request was made last
November. Chubby, still q
newcomer, was worth over
$4,000. Saylor pointed out
that the father, a stevedore,
was earning SIS a week and
the mother, a seamstress.
$50 q week.
They are able-bodied and
do not need their sons help,
the Judge said.
Teen-age fame can be

In this court where fine
looking boys and girls have
been just destroyed, morally
and physically, by this great
amount of attention. :
Don't let two months
success ruin this boy" he
cautioned Fabian's father in
1858 before his flash in-the-
pan success turned into a
long run.
A New Car? r
Saylor, a 68-year-old Yale
graduate who only married
himself six years ago, has
had more than his share of
parental problems on the
bench to make up for his
y lack Of children.
AS for instance: Should
junior have his own car?
SayIor denied Chubby "a
new auto after his guardian
said the youth had a gen
erous nature and a tend
dency to pick up the check.
He can buy seven cars when
he's 81, but we're trying to
train him not to explode"
Saylor. however, allowed
Fabian to buy a $3.50 car
because he always got
mobbed by screaming fans
when he used public trans
portation. Rydell also got
permission for a $4,534 auto.
His guardian, Mrs. Judith
Jamison, a lawyer, said
Bobby and his family had
not let his sudden success
change their way of life but
they needed a car as sym
Dol" because their friends
were wondering what there
was to show for the boys
success"
Saylor thinks very highly
Of his rock n rollers. Their
music is something else.
If they can make, money
on this crazy stuff, more
power to them" says Saylor.

Drama Critic Of The Star


Kenneth lyman, q volun-
tary exile from acting, has
acquired one of the most
glamorous regulations in the
field Of drama criticism.
For whatever satisfaction
1t may give him. the Stardom
that eluded him in one as
pect Of theater has been fully
compensated by his stature
in another. His case Illus
trates perfectly the efficacy
Of the adage, IF you can't
beat them, join them"
MIR. Tynan's standing as
drama critic, as distinct from
reviewer, is underscored at
the moment by a book, Cur
tains," (Atheneum, $7.95), a
collection of his critical writ
ingS over the decade 1850
1860. In it, he covers a vast
geography of theater, be-
tween New York and Mos
COW, with long, well-spent
layovers in France and Ger
many.
These years of travel, in
cluding q two-years occu-
pancy of the New Yorker
magazines critic post, have
deepened Mr.. lyman. Always
. stylist in the tradition of
such of his London predeces-
sors as Shaw and Max Beer
'bohm. he has become even
more readable as he has be-
come more experienced and
authoritative.
While his reviews OF many
plays in, many countries and
languages constitute the bulk
of Curtains" the .tangy es-
sence Of Mr.. Tynan's per-
formanee is to be found in its
preface and peroration.
These are sharp summings
UP Of two aspects of a pro-
fessional journey, its begin
ming and the conclusions to
which it has led. Mr.. lyman,
now 81, will go on from
where he now stands, but he
has come q long distance
from the braSh, upstartish
young man who came out of
Oxford in 1913 to guide the
theater to its proper destiny.
Words OutgrOwn
"Ten years ago." he writes,
II was in lcge with the the
ater Of fantasy and shock. I
wrote In q university maga-
zine that this sad age needs
to be dazzled, shaped and
spurTed by the spectacle Of
heroism. II heroic plays take
the stage, life may produce,
in honest emulation, its own
poor heroes of flesh and fact"
The author Of these words
has since outgrown them in
favor Of another set, more
mature and sober but no less
excitingly exhortative. They
60:
Since then, like many Of
my contemporaries, I have
swung over to another view
point. Travel contributed a
good deal to this broadening
Of outlook; so did the threat
and pressure, no longer es-
capable, Of world events; and
so, no doubt, did the mere
fact Of growing up. What
ever the reasons, ! became
aware that art, ethics, poll
tics, and economics were
inseparable from each other;
/ realized that theater was a
branch of sociology as well as
q means Of self-expression."
He goes on to mention
Germany's Bertold Brecht
and Arthur Miller among his
teachers Of the truth that, in
its widest sense, the theater
is political.
It Is this confession on Mr..
Tynan's part that adds a
new and significant dimen-
sion to his reviewer COL
leagues admiration for the
author of Curtains"
Unlike him, they come
from a different environment,
that of journalism. They live
their professional lives in an
atmosphere Of desperate re-
ality. This differs from the

Editorial
H INAUGURAL ADDDRESS-A CHALLENGE
WORLD OPINION is uniform to the effect that the in
augural address Of President John F. Kennedy was a great
one. It set a tone, opened up a challenge, and was in general
one Of the strongest of such addresses. 1t was also one Of the
shortest in history. The world, and especially the free World,
had been waiting for it because it might well set the stage
for what is to come in this administration.
AT H CONCLUSION Of the speech the record was
clear. The United States would pay any price" to keep free
dom. That is a large order, for while we had thought of free
dom as an expensive commodity, it had never quite been put
in those terms. The President said:
Let the pord go forth from this time and place, to
friend and foe alike that the torch has been passed to
a neo generation Of Amercans-born in this cen
tduy, tempered by oar, disciplined BY a hard and
bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritdge-Gnd IN
tOiuing to tDineSs or permit the Stow nndoing OF
those human rights to uipich this nation has alOGys
been committed, and to tDhich zoe are committed to-
day, at home and around the DorId."
WHOEVER WANTED to doubt where America stood,
his doubts were completely dspeIled. Neither by whiting
away, nor massive assault would this nation allow freedom
to be sacrificed. Our friends were treasured. Our would-be
enemies were told where We stood.
BUT PERHAPS TIL most significant announcement
was the setting of a mood which is bound to awaken one and
all, sooner or later, ask not what your country can do for
you-ask what you can do for your country" Throughout the
campaign MI. Kennedy had sought to get away from the idea
that he was making glowing promises in exchange for votes.
Having won the election, he reaSserted his position.
TO BRING THE matter closer home, these Islands, as
part Of the great American scene, will have to face the same
attitude. Those who thought that the going might be easy
will end ND with bitter disappointment. It is for this reason
that these columns pointed out the need to be readybecause
the question is certainly going to be asked Of us-~what are
we planning to do for ourselvesPs And when that time comes.
which is not far of, we need to have an answer, a blueprint
for the future Of these Islands.
THE NEW PRESIDENT has set the stage. This new
, 1961-01-26

generation Of Americans is willing to meet its problems with
strength and vigor. We ought to want to Be counted among
those who are ready

REPORTER
At Last the Chill Departs!

The good weather came
slowly. Winter dragged its icy
hemline up and down the
coast, reluctant to go and re-
fuSing to be pushed. The
northeaSterS came in hard
and unremitting and piled
the curling green combers
against the sea wall across
the street and flicked the
white heads off them and
sent them singing against
the house.
Behind the house, the river
was troubled and the sea gullS
stood still on the wind, bend
ing and turning their big
wings, but not moving. The
cold gray Scud was still in
the sky in May and a lobster
man sat in his dory and
moved downstream with his
tarpS. His oilskin glistened
with spray and his face
was hard. The men in his
family had always dropped
the traps at sea in May.
ACROSS THE RIVER in
RumSon, the trees were black
and bare where they faced
the river and the brine on
the wind. The houses looked
like blocks of sugar set
among the trees and, at
night, their caves moaned
with waiting. In the low
marshes, the Swale grass un-
dulated in green waves and
the timid white cranes sat low
on their spindly legs.
Everything waited. There
was no spring. 1t had missed
the calendar on its way
through April and many Of
the beach houses were but
toned tight with storm win
dows on Memorial Day. Doors
were boarded and little bur-
lap sacking screened the
shrubs, too cold to grow.
A week ago, an electrical
storm came up at night from
the west and it took the
last photoflash pictures Of
the winter. Overnight. the
cold weather departed to the
roll of distant drums behind
a curtain of warm rain. In
the morning, the magic Of
summer had come to Sea
Bright, N. j.
The ocean was as blue and
sleepy as a baby'S eyes. The
waves were small and they
probed across the tawny sand,
leaving dark stains. The sun
found a place between two
fat white clouds and sat
there, tossing spurious
spangleS on the sea. The
Shrewsbury River was flat
and warm-looking. Here and
there, small fish dimpled the
surface.
The air was warm and
Evening star., 1961-06-16

Rocky dozed in the sun, then
got up slowly dragging his
hind feet in a long lazy
stretch, and found a cool
shady spot next to the fence
and subsidized with a grunt.
In the clear air. one could
see green buds on tie
branches of the black trees
across the river and an out
board boat went by at high
speed with two boys, their
ears flattened in the breeze.
The warmth seeped through
the muscles of the soil and
a man stood two orange UNI
brellaS on his lawn and then
sat with his hands elapsed
across his belly, squirting
and dreaming. A mother duck
came out of the marshes,
spread her wings slightly, and
dropped into the river. She
dug her bill in the water
and shook her green neck. She
looked back at the marshes
and she did not quack, but
the babies came out in single
file Suueaking anu tried the
water.
The boys went by in their
outboard and the bow wave
approached the shore and
lifted the little ducks high
and then hid tkem behind
the crest. They made hysteri-
cal noises, but mother did
not turn back to look. She
padded fast. spread her
wings, and took flight. The
little ones watched, dumb
founded.
One Of them-the third in
line-decided to fly and he
quacked nightly and ran
across the top of the water
with his yellow web feet rae
ing, but he could not make
it. He fell back into the
water.
AT THE --BOATYARD
Frank Sarpolis and Bill used
the big crane to slide a "a
foot skiff into the water and
snubbed her around to the
gas dock. The motelS made
ready for the flood of sum-
mer vacationers. White terms
walked along the edge Of the
waves. looking for baby
crabs, careful never to get
their feet wet.
Our boat, Away We Go ".
came up from Bay Head, her
twin engines growing and
gurgling in the water, and I
stopped tipping to watch her
move into the backyard dock.
Pennants snapped from her
yardarmS and I looked up
at the sun and said? "It's
about time. It's about time"
