He's preparing "The Thousand Guns of Justin Malloy" for the screen in partnership with Tony Clark, wealthy Virginian. "I'm not interested in backers," Dale said, "but the young man wants to become a working partner and that suits me fine." He's about to close a deal to buy Isabel Dodge Sloan' thor oughbrcd breeding farm in Virginia, a $3,000,000 transaction.

And his company is going Into the cartoon animation field with TV series for children on their level. Dale says it will be in spirational, informative and mor ally uplifting. Claire Trevor, who doesn't work enough to suit her fans, plays Dick Beymer's mother in "Cele bration," which Jerry Wald produces for Twentieth Century-Fox, with Franklin Schaffner directing. Wald must have built-in radar. He hired Schaffner before he received the Emmy for "The De fenders." Jo Van Fleet Turned Role Down JO VAN FLEET called from New York to say she'd turned down the part Claire will play because it's another, of those unhappy, misunderstanding mothers.

Jo finally got herself a glamour role in an off-Broadway hit: Dad, Poor Dad, Mama Has Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad." A misty-eyed press agent called to say that Bobby Darin had shelled out so much money hiring Count Basie for his te-city concert tour that he won't make a dime himself. The truth is that Darin will use the tour as the basis for a TV spectacular and as a trailer for his next three pictures.

When I met Eli Landau on my last trip to New York, he told me he had the four greatest performances ever filmed in "Long Day's Journey Into Night."

Also Henry Sutton and G. Wood. When it comes to commending we mustn't overlook Rick Bcs- oyan. All he did was to write the book, lyrics and music. This is fantastic triple-threat creation.

As the forgoing comments may have indicated the lyrics are very clever indeed. The music is tuneful and purposely derivative at different time of all sorts of operetta styles, including Gilbert and Sullivan. It should be emphasized that this is a gentle and loving satire. Besoyan, one imagines, must have a nostalgic admiration for the sentimental operettas of yore. His score, a sheer delight, would do credit to any of the old masters.

"Little Mary Sunshine" will continue at the Olney for three weeks. MTT1.K MARY 8UN8H1NB Book, music nd lyric bJ Rick Bffoyon: m-rrcifd by Robert Mnorf; muM dl-rrrror. Rlchurd Dlrknen, mimical numbers niaiifd bf Nrnl Kenyon: ft and Imhilm. Jumei D. Wtrlm, con-lumn by Vli Chief Brown O.

Off-Broadway And Brecht CHANGING the scene to off- Broadway where "Little Mary Sunshine" is still running and in its third year, a recent visit to New York indicated to me that this wasn't the most memorable of seasons for that hopefully avant-garde, off-beat expenmen tal and sometimes just lower- budgeted movement. There is nevertheless enough of interest there both from current and past seasons to make an off- Broadway detour a worthwhile and often exciting part of New-York theatergoing for those with a taste for the special and unusual. One of this year's most suc cessful endeavors has been "Brecht on Brecht" at the Theater de Lys. While a portrait of the subject smiles sardonically down on the small stage, six performers. seated on high stools, read and enact with great, respect and zeal from the writings of the German playwright, who has begun in creasingly to make some impression on the American theatergoing public.

VIVECA LINDFORS, Dane Clark, Anne Jackson, George Voskovec, Michael Wager and Lotte Lenya preside over this assortment of songs and fragments of Brechtiana. He himself is heard, via recordings, singjpg in a cracked voice and speaking. From "Brecht on Brecht," ar ranged and much of it translated by George Tabori, one can see that the man was a humanitarian. a keen wit, a penetrating and sometimes bitter satirist. His claim to greatness as a man of the theater, both as director and playwright, is not to be fully grasped from this produc tion of bits and pieces.

Howevpr. the fragments, in cluding brief scenes from a few of his plays, are often provaca- tive in themselves as oei-formed vith variety and skill by the actors. Members of the cast take turns and each has his moment of eloquence. Aside from anything else, the fact is that the privilege of seeing and hearing Lotte Lenya is more than worth the price of admission. She lerks the proceedings to vivid life intermittently when she rises to sing songs, including the famed "Jenny, written by Brecht, and most with music by Kurt Weill (whose widow she isK Miss Lenya knows exactly how they should be sung.

Not with a voice of mellifluous beauty (which she certainly does not have), but with a hard, driving intensity. tinged with bitterness andor sad ness. She is, in a word, unique. ft O'fN IQ 11 A "Suspense-filled! remarkable because the basic plot is true!" RfC'j: to PCP'J'tAR PRICES! OPEN 11 A.M. THI TUI'S HllYUUGHTII-rifl rri OPEN I 30 M.

THE COSMOPOLITAN TH1ATRES 1 IS i i 7 4 'Will rig Harold Lloyd May Return By f.DOY GILMOBE London Mv-C'omedian Harold Lloyd, who appeared in his first movie 50 years ago, said today he may make a comchack, "If I found the right story," he said in an interview, "I might be in there filming again." His eyes widened behind his horn-rimmed glasses a gesture used to delight his fans and he added: "But I haven't seen anything that would be just right. And it would have to be right to lure me back." Lloyd, 69, came here from his Cannes film festival to plug "Harold Lloyd's World Of Comedy," a collection of sequences snipped from eight of his old pictures. It was acclaimed at Cannes. Talking about his films, he said: "You might expect the young audiences of today to look on them as old fashioned but they lap them up. They think they re dif ferent.

And, of course, they are. "When sound came on we kept right on with the visual effects. Few people remember wisecracks for very long, but they remember the visual business for years." With more than 300 films behind him, a fat fortune and Cal ifornia property, Lloyd looks sur prisingly like the fresh-faced funny man of the twenties. "When I first started wearing glasses in my pictures," he said, "I really didn't need them. Acclaimed for his hair-raising antics on window sills and ledges Lloyd went through the old rou tine for photographers.

After six tveeks of locationing in Hawaii, ith filming on the island of Kauai, in Honolulu, and at Hilo, "Diamond Head," the Jerry Bres-ler production for Columbia release, has returned to Hollywood for completion of interiors.

Since its opening in July, 1055, more than 30,000,000 visitors have toured the famed amusement park few of them minus cam eras strapped around their necks, pockets bulging with film.

An exciting Chase Scene Basically, action at the $37, 000,000 establishment centered on an exciting chase scene, in which detective Tom Reese pursues Cur lis from one end of the park to the other in order to serve him with a court order. Attempting to elude, Tonv and his companions take in all the rides and sights, running into the legendary Disney characters "The Mad Hatter," "Bugs Bunny." "Mickey Mouse" and "Alice In Wonderland," who have definite story-point roles. Even the sounds of Disneyland were captured by sensitive mikes among them the leisurely clop-clop of horse-drawn surreys "with the fringe on top," the "urn-pa pa of a band concert in town square, the chug-chug of "horse less carriages," the happy laugh ter of crowds and the steaming hiss of old unfaithful geyser.

Among hundreds of happy ex tras used were 100 children, re quired by California law to attend classes on the days they worked in the movie.
