found himself unable to toss fight
history into the flames. By not de-
stroying the film, he had broken no
law (the Federal ruling only out
lawed the Transporting of films
across state lines). However he had
disobeyed an order - and after so
years he evidently felt he had hid

and the Edison films, long enough.
Jacobs won his sixth four-wall
handball championship and pur-

Chasing films

Jim knew that even during the
Federal ban, from 1910 to 1929,
movies of fights were allowed to be
taken proUided they were shipped
overseas for foreign consumption.
So wherever Jacobs appeared, on
handball courts in Europe, Australia
or Asia he always made it point to
let the spectators know he was
6ght-flm collector ready and willing
to buy or swap old masterpieces.
After ten years Of swatting hand
balls around the world, Jim Jacobs
had captured the whole history of
fsticuffs on celluloid. Everything
of value except the elusive prize
pioneer footage of all - the bout
promoted, produced, directed and
filmed by Thomas Alva Edison.
Last year the miracle he had
been waiting for happened. On April
l9, 1860, Jacobs was heading for his
sixth national four-wall title at the
San Francisco Olympic Club.
After the third-round match, a
stopped, white haired old man hob

The only copy of the Edison
Corbett epic was included in the
films to be destroyed. 1t was off,
cially checked off as incinerated.
Since that ordeal by fire, the
attitude towards old movies has
changed. Today they're regarded as
important historical documents and
many people make hobby of COL
lecting them.
The 6ght-flm collectors have
been convinced that the Corbett-
Courtney bout was one bit of foot
age they'd never lay their hands on.
All of them, that is, except one very
earnest young collector named
Jimmy Jacobs.
Jim Jacobs happens to be the
National three-wall handball cham
pion of the United States. He has
also won the four-wall title six times.
Handball has afforded him the op-
portunity to travel throughout the
world giving exhibitions - and look

FORECAST-Last season Is
barely over, but the Theater
Guild is looking ahead-this
year to its busiest season in
many years. Lawrence Lang
ner, the guilds head man. re-
ports that seven plays are in
the production planning stage,
with three definite for the
1961-62 season. Prospects for
the other four vary from pos
sible to probable, with a great
deal depending on availability
of the right directors, players
and New York theaters.
The plays the guild lists as
definite are "The Captain and
the Kings" by Leo Lieberman;
1.-The Aspern Papers," by Mich
ael Redgrave, and "The Mack
erel Plaza" The latter is q
dramatization by William Nc
Cleery of Peter DeVried's best
selling humorous novel.
Susan Hayward,
Academy Award winner a cou-
pie Of years back for ITO Want
to Live" is aiming hopefully
for another Oscar with Ada, "
to be released by MGM this
summer. In this one she ap-
pears opposite Dean Martin,
playing "a dynamo who drives
her way to a peak Of political
power" Sounds like the sort
of thing that might, should she
win the Oscar, induce Miss
Hayward to try for higher po-
litical goals in 1864. And we
could do worse than Susan.
Hal Wallis has signed France
Nuyen for the co-starring role
with Laurence Harvey in his
"a Girl Named Tamiko."
1.-THE Great SebastianS," which
was an Alfred Lunt-Lynn Fon-
tame play, will be a Judy Holli-
day movie when Arthur Hoffe
films it for Columbia. When
Henry Hathaway gets finished
with his How the West Was
Won" project, he has another
directoral chore awaiting. This
will be "It's Murder" a mys-
tery-comedy to be filmed later
this year for Paramount.

Evening
Is Held

Guests attending the "In-

Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Al

night must have felt twinges
of nostalgia.
For many among those
the Beerys invited to the
black tie supper In the
garden Of their Cleveland
avenue home had lived in
Indonesia at one time. To
suit the spirit Of the occasion
some Of the women guests
wore evening dresses fash
ioned from batik cloth.
The garden was trans
formed into an. Indonesian
village In miniature. The
"kampang" as 1t Is called,
had the real atmosphere. To
the left Of the entrance was
q drink bar. Next to it was a
miniature house with carved
doors where an Indonesian
cook presided over q braZier
cooking the meat for the
delicious "sati" sticks that
were q popular cocktail hors
d'oeuvre, and In back Of the
house hung q small clothes
line and its wash load. Of
beautiful sarongs.
Situated at other points
around the garden were q
bird cage containing a stuffed
rooster to remind the guests
of the cock fights they may
have seen when they were in
Indonesia and a bird cage
suspended on a bamboo pole
because the islanders think
the birds are happier up In
the air! There was also q
miniature Balinese god on q
pedestal with water lilies
floating around him.
Completing the authentic
ity Of the Indonesian setting
was the performance Of three
Indonesian dances by the
Misses Hetty and Sufi Soc

Indonesian Cultural Attache
and Mrs. Soemawidjaja, and
their brother, Mr.. Iskandar

Not Expecting
A Baby.

BRUSSELS, June 26 (AP).
-Belgium's Grand Marshall
Of the Royal Court said today
that Queen Fabiola is not ex-
pecting a baby after all, and
disclosed she Is ailing.
"The Queens health is not
serious and she will be COM
pletely recovered in . few

that described the illness as
q slight indisposition."
Newspapers. here have re-
ported the Queen was suffer-
ing from angina. an inflam-
matory condition in the
throat affecting breathing.
Referring to reports that
the 32-year-old Queen is
pregnant. the communique
said:
contrary 10 WnaC was
hoped. a happy event is not
expected at the Laeken Court
In the near future" The
communique did not elabo-
rate.
The first definite report Of
the Queens pregnancy came
from Pope John XIII. He
told q group of Belgian news

Fabiola confided to him dur
ing a-state visit to the Vati-
can that she was expecting a

The idea that physical ex-
aminations are necessary
only when the patient has
pain or does not feel well
seems to me to be as old
fashioned and outmoded as
high button shoes. The grow
ing medical attitude today is
toward preventative physical
examinations.
There Is no way Of calcu-
lating how many lives could
have been saved and how
much suffering avoided If the
victims had had periodic
checkupS. Many serious
diseases are durable In the
early stages, and even If they
are not, some Of the compli-
cations Of these diseases can
be prevented or alleviated II
the malady is discovered soon
enough.
Studies have shown that
between one-third and one
fourth Of all average adults
examined required treatment
in order to prevent real
trouble. Diabetes, If left un-'
treated. causes damaging
changes in the eyes and blood
vessels and nerves. About
100 per cent Of cervical and
breast cancers can be dag
nosed and early detection is
so crucially important.
Just because you have no
symptoms does not neces-
sarily indicate that there is
no incipient trouble. The
Public Health Service re-
Gently examined $4,000 FAM
lilies. This showed that four
out of every five persons past
65 and a little more than half
of those between the ages Of
As and IS had chronic di-
Seases Of some kind.
Having periodic physical
check-ups is not neurotic but
intelligent. A disease may be
discovered in its early and
durable stage and check-ups

DR.. Dorothy B. Ferebee,
the Medical Director Of How
ard University, recently back
from her second trip to
Africa, Is concerned that rae
ial problems in the United
States get top billing in Afri-
can papers, but remedial
measures do not get equal
publicity.
"The African people hear
q great deal about our fail
ures. Our shortcomings are
played UP before them. but
our accomplishments are sell
dom mentioned" DR.. Fere-
bee said. AS a national direc-
tor Of the Girl Scouts Of the
U.S.A., she was in Kampala,
Uganda, last month as an
observer to an All-Africa
Conference on Girl Scouting
and Guiding.
Imbalance
"This imbalance In per-
spective creates considerable
doubt in the minds Of the
Africans as to the integrity
Of our democratic institu-
tions. They begin to wonder
how they'll be treated II they
come here.
"They read press stories
of discrimination against
African leaders and dip
lomats, and begin to feel,
without any urging from the
Soviet Union, that we aren't
practicising the Democracy
we preach" DR.. Ferebee ex-
planned.
The Kampala conference

Girl Scout leaders from 20

Of how scouting can assist
