live in it, although 1t Is not
finished, as no house really ever
is. We started it with the idea
of having q getaway rom-it-
all place, regardless of the
transportation problem. Oh, we
intended to sell the Beverly
Hills house, and take an in
town sort of apartment, If
necessary.
This was before there was
any Of that talk about the big
studios getting together - but
not merging, Understandable
building one big studio center
out in the beach area. We had
MT given them a thought, but
it is a definite prospect, this
single production center.
IF that comes along, as it
probably will, I'll be just a
few minutes from work, which
I never anticipated. And from
that new Hillcrest golf course,
also which I never anticipated. "
MEMORY: Reference to the
consolidated studio, on the
relatively lower cost, Smog-free
beach strip, brought back a
memory of Mr.. Seaton's early
days in Hollywood.
ST was at Fox, then" he says,
"as a young writer. I was
assigned one day to show a
Danish producer around the lot
Only three or four of the big
sound stages were busy. In view
of Hollywood's big production
in those days, this struck him
as most odd.
Was this the sum total Of
Hollywood production. he asked
me. I suddenly realized that
the question was based upon
his assumption that this was
the sum total Of Hollywood's
production facilities, not just
those Of q single studio.
well, Is years later, we seem
to be coming around to his i'm
preston of what ought to be"
That was the extent to which
Mr.. Seaton talked shop over q
period of some five hours.

Over the years IN its frequent

laudable record of presenting
resident artists. Last night, for
its final offering of the year, the
gallery brought us a sonata
recital by violinist George Stein
er and pianist Robert Paris,
both members of the faculty Of
George Washington University's
fledgling music department.
Both men are well known in
the area as solo and ensemble
performers, but to this writer's
best recollection the occasion
was the first time they have
appeared together as a duo.
They make an excellent team.
The hit of the evening, in all

night creams of such monumental gooey-

laugh by describing how his wife skidded
out of bed.
Then just about decade ago, a Har-
ward dermatologist, DR.. Irwin H. Blank,
shifted the emphasis of skin care to
include moisture as well as oil.
He took some hard, callus tissue
from the bottom of foot and immersed
samples in various kinds of oil, such as
mineral oil and olive oil. Nothing hap
pened. The callus remained tough and
brittle. Then he dipped the same kind of

time the callus became soft and pliable,

Journal of Investigative Dermatology,
"the water content of the corni6ed cpl
thelium (the OutermOst layer of skin
cells) is more important factor in main
tanning the flexibiIity of this layer than

The significance of this discovery
was not lost on the cosmetics industry
and it started looking for ways to make
the skin gain or retain its moisture.

the noble profession of politics
and the men who aspired to
lead US are greater In candid
recollection"
When we talked, White had
seen a rough cut-withOut tha
background music and produc-
ton touches. ''This is the best
we could do" was as far as
White would 60 In offering an
opinion Of an exhausting work.

We looked at more raw film
than has ever been looked at

Matter Of Availability
What they couldn't find and
what they did find influenced
the programs course. "There
wasn't a single print anywhere
Of President Kennedy's last
campaign speech from Boston,"
he said, "but we did find a kin
escope by an amateur who
made it off his SET"
In another instance, the pro-
duction team uncovered hitherto
mshown film backstage at the
Great Debates. ''You had to let.
the public see that"
Other great film clips had to-
be reluctantly set aside; they
were irrelevant" to his story.
'The Making Of the Presi-
dent" as White writes, Is the
story Of the unique power of the
people to give a man the awe
some power of the presidency.
It is also about "the majesty
that must surround The Chief.

has started somewhere with a

Readers Of the book may find
the TV show more translation
