Boyd's Irish Luck Kept
Him From Cleopatra

HOLLYWOOD (AP)-"Tis
the luck Of the Irish!"
That was Stephen Boyd's
smiling comment as to how
he felt about never playing
Marc Antony I. Richard Bur-
ton. of course, is Marc
Antony II.
The Belfast-born Boyd
spent 10 months on "Cleo-
patra," starting in May 1860.
"And we only got one scene
shot-one usable scene," says
Boyd.
When Miss Taylor got Ill,
the picture was shut down in
London and Boyd returned
to Palm Springs for rest and
sun. remaining on call for
months. The inactivity got
him down and he begged out
of the movie. Later when pro-
duction resumed, he was busy
and Burton was signed.
Meanwhile, Boyd was cast

Day. Now he's en- route to
Rome to make a movie with
Gina Lollobrigida.
"And I'll bet you some
thing right now," he says,
that I will complete this
movie - my third - before
Cleopatra is finished"
He'll get no takers to that
bet.
The movie Cleopatra" was
originally scheduled to wind
up in July but that was be-
fore Liz and Burton started
cutting UP along the Via
Veneto.
Boyd, a bachelor, says he
is not one bit jealous Of
Burton's publicity.
II have a mother in Bel
fast who believes everything
she reads in the movie maga-
zines. Two months before I
ever met Liz and Eddie
Fisher, there were articles
which accused me of breaking
up the marriage Of Liz and
Eddie.

the role of Riff. Eighteen
months later he heard they
were casting for the film.
"We used to hear of Marion

gave myself much chance.
In his screen test Chakiris
stacked the deck in the best
gang leader fashion. He was
Riff, leader of the "Jet," on
the stage; he didn't dream
of another role in the movie.

II didn't want to do Ber-
nardo, so I picked a good
scene with Riff and did a very
short one on Bernardo" he
grins. "I walked through the
door toward the camera. All
I said was: Look, I don't go
for that pretend stuff you
all go for in this country.
Everyone of you hates every
one Of us, and we hate you
right back. Let's get at it,"
That dramatic rumble scene
brought him a week Of tests

Something new will be add

Physically, it is a 1000
seat arena of concrete con-
Struction, with a canvas COW
er. and a 1,000-car paved
parking lot located near
GaitherSburg. Md. 1t will be
known as the Shady Grove
Music Fair. the sixth and
latest outlet of a producing
group which has had seasons
of experience despite its new
ness to Washington.
Artistically, it will operate
on a star, or name-perform-
er, policy and offer a total
of IA productions over a Is
week season that will begin
on June Is. AS the words
Music Fair" signify, its ma
jor interest will be in musi-
Gals. There will be nine Of
these, interspersed here and
there with comedies of
proved popularity.
Frank Ford, spokesman for
the three-man producing or
ganization behind the Music
Fair, demurs at the notion
that the stress of the opera
ton seems automatically to
fall upon names.
They Like Stars
Certainly we have stars"
he says, land are mighty
glad to have them. But we
are not in the business Of
merely selling names. Our
productions, arena in style,
are expensive and carefully
put together. They may cost
as much as $4,000. 1t is
money that we invest with
pride and taste, although I'll
willingly leave the latter up
to you to decide.
I'VE do not throw these
things together. We do not
need to. Remember that with
the local plant. we shall be
operating six in such areas
as Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. We
put a production together for
a minimum Of six weeks be-
tween our several outlets. We
do not have to skimp. Nor
do we have to cavil to stars,

Iroquois society came close to
being a matriarchy: the clan was
based on descent through the
women, who owned crops and
houses. Although they didn't &C

rulers and had the power of recall

of Mexico. Some 500 years ago,
five tribes had formed a league,
called "The Great Peace" by the
Indians and "The Five Nations"
by the early settlers. Composed
of the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida,
Onondega, and Seneca, the league
dealt with war and foreign rel
atoms, but could not interfere in
the internal affairs of a member
tribe. The ruling council was made
up of represent tiveS from each
tribe, voting as a unit: decisions
had to be reached by unanimous
agreement.
For the Iroquois. war was
more than a young mans road
to glory and status. AS the league
grew stronger, it conducted large
scale operations with armies
of several hundred warriors -
to defeat other tribes, often bring
ing them in afterwards as tribute
paying subordinate members. The
leagues support of the English

up and touched the body, still sur
rounded by fellow tribesmen, won
more raise than the man who had
shot him. By and large. war was
game, with little of the cruelty and
delight in inflicting torture typical
of the Iroquois and other eastern
Indians. The important thing was
always the individual exploit for
glory's sake rather than any terri
torial gains or the furthering of
tribal supremacy.

Hunting and fishing we're good, but
the IroQuois tribes which DOM

crops included some sixty kinds
of beans, fifteen varieties of corn,
and squashes. Iroquois villages

stockades, and their long rectang-

Her First and Last Parachute Jump

MARSTONS MILLS, Mass. R- Petite, blonde Lois Ann Frotten, 20, with one leg partly entangled in the sleeve of her parachute, hurtled earthward nearly half mile late Wednesday = and sur vived = when she landed in a lake.
 At Cape Cod Hospital the out look for her recovery was de- scribed as good.
 It was the first airplane leap by the slender Hyannis telephone operator and, she said, her last.
 ''I'll never jump again." she said as rescuers lifted her from Mystic Lake in a condition of semi-shock and hysteria.
 Witnesses said that as the girl tumbled through the air, end-over- end, the entangled sleeve of the chute disengaged about 100 to l5O feet above the water and partly opened the chute It's brief drag may have saved her life. It ap- parently was enough to straighten her position so that she struck the water feet first, in a slanting, half sitting position.
 When she was rushed to the hos pital in Hyannis, attendants were astounded to discover that-apart from facial lacerations-she ap- parently had suffered no more than severe body bruises and hysteria.
 Her thoughts in her tumbling fall apparently were to correct her error-if any. For among her first words after rescue was the ques- tion, What did I do Wrong?" She was wearing an emergency pack but failed to pull the emergency rip cord.
 But during her plunge-appar- ently to the muddy bottom of the 2O-foot deep Water-and her rise to the surface, she had sufficient presence of mind to free herself.
