FESTIVAL IN FASHION (8 McHugh Has Made 130 Motion Pictures If Frank McHugh, Bing Crosby's perennial house guest on The Bing Crosby Show, quit making movies right now, he'd have more film in the can than most TV actors. Frank has appeared in 130 movies in more than half a century as an actor. He was a veteran at the age of 21 and made his first Broadway ap pearance in 1925. BJ i tHf udEB iiCE 90 mm JOEY HEATHERTON'S career has taken a sudden upswing since her controversial appearance on the Hullabaloo premier program.

our new OMMI 4M Lenses are made for reading, New York (AP) WHEN GARY SMITH, 29-year-old producer, was dreaming up a new musical-variety hour for NBC, he ordered up a rocking, strongbeat theme song, "Hullabaloo." To accompany it, he required a new dance to be called, naturally, the "Hullabaloo." They were to be used weekly to open "Hullabaloo," as a means of viewer identification and, hopefully, to start a new fad amongst the young viewers. A very pretty blond, 20-year-old dancer-singer-actress Joey Heatherton, was chosen to inaugurate the show's choreographed signature. Joey appeared before the cameras and went into choreographer David i 's dance, which involved considerable twisting, turning and writhing in the modern mode. "Well, that did it," She recalls with a small shudder. "The NBC switchboard lit up like Broadway.

One sponsor wanted to pull out and others wanted the network to put a hold on their commercials." Joey, the storm center, was amazed and still is. "It was nothing more than the kids are doing all over the country, and not too different from dances like the Pony, the Mashed Potato and the Hully Gully," she says. "Maybe it was just that their parents and older people hadn't seen them. But I'm pretty sure that it wasn't the dance. I think It was the camera angles." At any rate, The Hullabaloo" dance has been severely modified and largely conflaed to head and shoulder flinging.

The next time Joey turned up on the show, they had her sitting motionless at a table, singing a sad, static Httta ballad in neo-Nf style: she was scarcely permitted to move a muscle. However, that controversial opening has had fantastic effect on a show business career which, before Hullabaloo, was moving along in high gear. Recently Joey, accompanied by Troy Donahue, made a promotion tour of 26 theatres for a movie they had made together.

pictures," Joey said, "but in those theaters it was like I'd never done a thing but Hullabaloo. And it is the same all over now." Now, while under contract to make two films a year at each of two studios, she also has been signed for a Dean Martin TV show for next fall and a Sammy Davis TV special. A network wanted to sign her, she has been queried about a TV series, and there is talk about a Broadway show next season. "Wow," said Miss Heath-erton. "And when I think back I was all set to cut a record of Hullabaloo In connection with the show, but after ail the furore, my father said, Wo, cool It' My parents are pretty strict, but they saw nothing wrong with the dance." Strict they may be, but are both show business veterans.

Hed father, Ray Heatherton was a popular star of a long-playing New York children's show, and for years was host of a popular radio interview show. Joey's first name is taken from the middle name of her mother, Davenie, a feminine derivative of David. The mother's middle name is Joaiv na. JOEY GREW UP in Rock ville Centre, Long Island where she still lives with her parents attended parochial school and started dancing lessons at six. Joey's first acting job came when she was 14 and cast as the postulant nun in Richard Rodgers' "The Sound of Mu sic," where she also under studied the ingenue lead.

This was followed by a part in "There Was A Little Girl," directed by Josh Logan. "All through the years, my father would give me advice, and caution me about one thing or another," Joey recalls. "But you know how it is it is just your father. Then I suddenly realized that Mr. Rodgers and Mr.

Logan two men I respected so much were advising and cautioning me about the very same things and in the very same words my father used.
