should he ever need to fall back
on that.
1t now doesn't seem likely
that he ever will need it, OF
course. He has behind him
three years as television's "Bat
MaSterSon," owns part of the
show and consequently enjoys
those residual benefits every
time it is re-run anywhere,
Ahead of him he has what gives
every promise of being a sue
cessful venture into night clubs
as a singer, with an act he is
breaking in at the Lotus.
Ahead of him also, Mr.. Barry
has a feature film that is almost
q certainty, though the official
announcement will come from
the producing studio and femi-
nine star. He is more likely to
be considered valuable by a
movie producer, too. than most
stars of TV western and ad-
venture series.
He has, to begin with, the
popularity that has come with
the Bat Masterson role, but he
has 1t based on a firmer foun-
dation than many in the same
line of work. Before TV he had
attained star status in Holly
wood, with some 20 feature
films to his credit. Before Para
mount took him to Hollywood
he had gone through seasoning
in musicals, as a band singer
and as a vaudeville performer.

well aware that a shakedown
cruise in the theater is for dis
covering hihtherto invisible
flaws for making the good
parts better and for tossing out
all that drops with q dull thud.

song" This leaves the enter
tainer with some first-rate Spe-
cial song tailored to his meas
ure and, among other things, a
fine, rouSing medley of mem
orable hits from memorable
musicals.
He is a singer with some
power-reSpect for both melody
and lyrics-and a winning per-
sonality to sell a song, so he
shouldn't have too many wor-
rieS from here on in.
He still has that other career
in reserve If, as he puts it,
this acting thing ever falls
completely apart" He's sure he
could be a success and have
a whale of a time as a building
contractor. He's even had some

a result of one of those expert
ences that seem to happen
more often in Hollywood than
elsewhere.

I'VE were adding a master

hired a contractor, a little fell
low in his COS, whose wife had
died recently. He got the
trenches dug for the footing
for the addition to the house
and a great big hole in the
yard for the swimming pool.
Then he disappeared. Finally,
I found out that he had tangled
himself up with some young
Mexican girl and taken off for
Mexico to marry her there. I
had to do something about that
hole, so I became my own con-
tractor and boSsed the job my
self"
Thus initiated. the head of
the house again took over when
it came time to build the new
Barry home In Benedict Cam
yon. Mr.. Barry drew up the
plans, had a craftsman draw
them to scale and became his
own construction boss. His
success this time was attested
by a real estate man who
wanted to bring an important
client UP to see the place.
I'D like to bring former
Vice President Nixon up to see
the house." he told Mr.. Barry,
but will you do just one
thing? Will you first take down
the Kennedy pictures?"
He didn't come right out and
say it, but Mr.. Barry feels the
man also would have liked to
have had Mrs. Barry, one of
the Hollywood wives for Ken
nedy," hidden away in a closet
