Martha, Wallis

LONDON (NANA). - They
are saying In London that
Martha Hyer will be signing
her name Mrs. Hal Wallis be-
fore the end Of the year. :.
And an art dealer friend of
mine here is convinced that the
Degas painting sold at Sothe-
,by's recently for around $780,
600 was bought by Mr.. Wallis
for Miss Hyer, who already
owns a quite glorious collec-
ton. 80. The New York grape
vine sends along this little
scoop. When Daryl Zanuck de-
cides to 60 back to personal
movie production, and 1t could
be sooner than later, tn a t
brilliant executive Seymour Poe,
will take over as president of
10th Century-Fox. He's tn
natural heir. Leslie CarOn
received $4,000 for her role
In sThe L-Shaped Room" The
picture is q hit, and she called
the producers and asked for a
bonus. The answer was a loud,
ringing no. In fairness to the
bosses, / must ask Leslie, whom
i adore, do you give q rebate
when the picture is a flop?"
Not bloody likely, as we say
over here.
President Kennedy will have
five helicopters at his disposal
during his visit to Ireland,
where there is great excitement
ct the prospect Of seeing this
distinguished Irishman on the
Ould Sod. Ava Gardeners
billing beef with DebOah Kerr
In might of the Iguana" has
been settled, and she will be in
the picture. She had objected to
Deborah's name above hers.
They will now be on the same
line. These little matters may
seem unimportant to you, but
for one big star name to be
under another big star name is
enough to give a girl both the
yapors and Mysteries.

Elizabeth Taylor has been
crying her eyes out on the
s'Becket" set, I am told, be-
cause she Jared badly in the
cleopatra" reviews. And Rich
ard Burton has not been too
happy either. While Rex Harri-
pom, who bagged all the re-
views, is giving the kind Of
horse laugh INDUCED in by a
racer who is not in the money
but comes from behind to win.
= Before Laurence Harvey
look off for the States and
Mrs. Joan COhn, he had a spe-
Sial Dublin showing of "T h e
Ceremony" which he directed
in Spain and in which he
starred. The consensus of opin-
ion is that Larry is as good be-
hind the camera as he is in
front. Terence Stamp
watching Linda Christian at
the other side of a restaurant,
That's q bit of alright, how do
I get to her?" "Over Edmund
PurdOm's dead body" he was

Papa Mills has bought back

Anthony Quinn already has
enough problems. but now there
is another problem with the
Yugoslavian government about
making his picture with Ingrid
Bergman, "The VISIT" over
there. They may have to settle
for Hungary. although why I
can't imagine. The forests in
Austria should be better for
the grim story. It has to be
made in Europe because In
grid won't work In California.
Franch0t Tone should have
arrived on the French Riviera
