NEW YORK (AP).-Al-
though completion of Lincoln
Center For the Performing
Arts is three years away,
sponsors of the theatrical
phase of the operation are al
ready planning to take the
acting company on cross
country tour.
I'VE probably won't do that
during the first season, how
ever" says Ella Kazan, CO.
director of the drama prof.
ect with Robert Whitehead.
First we will want to get
enough plays in the roper
tory"
A company Of 35 actors is
to be organized for preform-
ance of both new scripts and
previous successes which have
been retired to the book
shelf.
Unfortunately a lot of
dramas are put away and
ignored simply because they
have already had a run on
Broadway" notes Kazan.

ROME. - A single Holly
wood studio, with its eye on
modern Rome by night and
ancient and medieval Italy by
day, is making four movies
simultaneously in this coun-
try.
Many American firms are
working here. but perhaps
no single Hollywood firm has
ever made so many films in
Italy at the same time as
Metro Goldwyn-Myer is do
ing now. Its four produc-
tions:
Two Weeks in Another
Town." a story based on an
Irwin Shaw novel starring
Kirk Douglas, Edward G.
Robinson and Cyd Charlse.
Damon and Pythias," a
story Of the ancient Greek
heroes, with Guy Williams
and Don Burnett.
The Swordsmen of Siena,"
a costume picture about the
14th century, with Stewart
Granger, Christine Kauf-
mann and Sylvia Koscina.
THE King of the Seven
Seas" a story Of Sir Francis
Drake. directed by Rudy
Mate, with Rod Taylor and
Keith Michel.
Movie viewers who see the
four films are going to get
a unique tour Of Italy. But
they may not always know
what they are seeing.
Only Director Vincente
Minelli, making Two Weeks
in Another Town." is showing
his Italian background for
what it really Is. He wanted
scenes of Rome by night for
his film, and that's what he
is getting.
In the other movies, old
Roman landmarks are likely
to appear as something else.
For example, the ruins of the
1,800-year-old baths of Cara
Gala in Rome will appear in
Damon and Pythias" as a
2, 2,400-year-old Greek prison.
The Sir Francis Drake film
is being shot in the waters
off Italy south of Naples,
seas in which Drake never
sailed.

Producers
Don't Need
Benefits

HOLLYWOOD CAP).-Jim
Backus is against actors
playing benefits for Million
aires-even millionaire mo-
vie-makers.
The famed wit once made
an ad lib crack while sitting
in a dentist chair and saved
himself some dough - but
that only happened once.
MY dentist was always ask
ing me. to my act before a
dental convention. So one day
I said: Doc, how come I'm
always playing benefits for
dentists and doctors? Yet,
they never play benefits for
actors.
He laughed. A little hys-
terically but still he laughed.
On the first Of the month, I
got my bill stamped Paid"
Recently Backus' agent
urged him to appear in a
skit at a Beverly Hills Coun-
try Club party which a studio
head was putting on.
THE performers were the
only ones who arrived in
American made cars. The au-
dience all came in Rolls
Royces.
II was there because
keenan, Wynn and I were
both up for the same part
in a movie at the producers

dragged him there for the
same reason.

For Russians,
Be Profound

HOLLYWOOD (AP).-So-
Wet director Lev Arnshtam
gives an insight into the
character of the Russian
moviegoer.
"The Russian public" says
Arnshtam, likes any film so
long as the theme is serious"
Asked if this meant comedy
was not for the Russian taste,
he replied:
IF you mean those with
out any sense to them, of
course, we can't make such
films. 1t must have q pro-
found meaning like Chaplin"
The director came to this
country as a member of the
Soviet delegation to the San
Francisco Film Festival.

One Hollywood Studio
Is the Busiest in Rome

scenes Of Rome by night
with rare determination. He
said the city had been suf-
ficiently photographed by
day. His company has done
all work from sundown to
sunrise.
"All I'm going to do when
I get back to the States is
Sleep" said actor Douglas at
one point.
Crew filming 1.-TWO Weeks
in Another Town" worked all
over Rome-on the Via We
neto, with its cafe society, in
the picturesque squares Of
Trastevere and on a show
boat in the Tiber River.
"The Swordsmen OF Siena"
is using the 14th century
Orsini castle on Lake Brac-
ciano, 20 miles north Of
Rome, for spectacular swash-
buckling scenes in its authen-
tic dungeons and atop its
rugged battlements.
But the natural settings of
Italy are not enough.
Producer Sam Jaffe of
Damon and PythiaS" has
gone to Rome's modern Cine
citta Studio in film scenes on
a set reproduction of the old
Greek city Of Syracuse.
Jaffe needed Syracuse the
way the Sicilian city looked
in the days when it was an
ancient Greek center not
the way it looks now as a
modern italian city.
