KEEP AN EYE-DROPPER HANDY

HOLLYWOOD tNANA) )-Gregory Peck who likes
MS straight, saved during drinking scene in his
current movie, Cape Fear from being labeled SQUARE
by every martini connosseur in the country
AS ne and Polly Bergen quietly talked over tragic
marital situation in their beautiful living room Greg
stepped over to portable bar and casually proceeded to
sur up drink First he poured guesswork quantity of
VooKa INTO a pitcher, tossed in ice cubes and
without looking poured literally from vermouth bottle
. Non-drnking Director Lee Thompson paid no atten-
ton until Propman Eddie Keyes let out shrl oh no
he can't do that" Filming halted while Keyes who
owns saloon near the U-I studio took over
-, Mr. Peck" he said patiently "if you mix martini
IKE That you will be ncurring the ridcue of millions of
home experts all the world"
Ten minutes of coaching and Peck was back giving
much more than casual attention to his mixing job First
ne put tne ice cubes in the pitcher and whrred around
1eW moments to chill it. Then, after measuring his
vodka he held the cork against the vermoh bottle top
allowing only few drops to trickle into the pitcher
Better" commented expert Keyes "but I still
wouldn't give you job in my place."

Of rehearsal physicalizing a

who likes to use her body
and hands in stage work. For
this I was restricted to facial
expression and movement Of
the upper body.
Psychology No Problem
Then. too, the part is
more complex for me, be-
cause it is the farthest away
from myself of any that I've
done. 1t was more difficult
to find control of the lady"
The dominant psychological
theme was nothing new, how

HOLLYWOOD (AP). You
never know who's watching

The other morning about
1:30 or so, a used car an
nouncer, broke into an an
cient Wheeler and Woolsey
movie, circa 1929, and gave
his spiel.
Then he wound up: I'VE
will now return to our movie
starring Wheeler and Wool
sey and Betty Cradle"
There was a blonde in the
movie who slightly resembled
Betty-but it was not Betty.
At the next commercial
five minutes later-the an

I'VE have just got a call
from Betty Cradle. She says
she doesn't know who the
blonde in the movie is but
it's definitely not her. We

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK.-Kim STAN
ley is delighted-by aching
legs and odd rebukes.
Il feel flattered," the blond
star says of such wry reac-
tions to her work in Broad
ways absorbing drama, "A
Far Country"
They are, she explains, ex-
ira proof of audience in
volvement. And that's what
every player wants, maybe
as much as plain praise.
Consider, for example, spec
tators who drop by her Music
Box dressing room to report
their legs hurt after the
show.
They talk as if they are
a little angry, but really it
is a kind Of compliment"
she comments. Through most
of the play, Miss Stanley is
a lady immobilized with hys-
terical paralysis.
A sympathetic limb twinge
here and there in the house
is evidence that the char
acter has become more than
theatrical abstraction.
Just What She Wants
Then there are the tech
nique carperS.
Exactly the same people
who used to criticize me as
too realistic in method and
unable to do stylized things,
call me hammered and stylized
this time-which is exactly
what I want to do"
In "a Far Country" Miss
Stanley appears as the Vien-
nese invalid whose case his
tory started DR.. Sigmund
Freud on pioneer research in
pSychoanalysis.
(Rather remarkably, the
play is the first ever done
about Freud himself, the big
daddy of modern dramaO
Two aspects of the role
stand out for her.
1--WE never before had q
part calling for such physical
restraint" she says. THAT
was the big problem for me
i spent the first 10 days
