SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 1971 Commodore Jay Carder Says: Schultzy Alice, she finds A lot of sound for a little money! ft 8 I or playing comedy sidekicks has its advantages By CYNTHIA LOWRY, Associated Press like to be twins, and we are always an SOMETHING SPECIAL Sony Model 120 Deluxe ACDC Portable Cassette-Corder (with built-in Condenser Microphone) The deluxe 120 is expressly designed for the executive who demands an extra' edge in performance and styling. 4f lis FEATURES: Builf Condenser Micro- t( phone Dual Differential-Balanced Flywheels Sonymatic Recording Con- 3 swering that we don't know what it's like not to be," said Harriet. The Davis twins were bom in Schenectady, N.Y., and grew up in the East.

Ann was originally determined to become a doctor, but became hooked on acting at the Erie. Playhouse, where she played all sorts of roles. She made it to Hollywood after a 16-week road tour during which she was paid $20 a week and managed to accumulate a $100 nest egg to finance the trip. Broadway beckoned in 1960 when George Abbott, who had seen her as Schultzy, chose her to replace Carol Burnett in "Once Upon a Mattress." "It was not good," she reflected. ''I spent the whole time doing a bad imitation of Carol Burnett I never got into the part as myself." trol Record level and Battery Strength Indicator Three-Digit Tape Counter Locking Fast-Forward and Rewind Buttons Built-in Recharging fi Circuit for Optional Nickel-Cadium Battery Pock Microphone and Aux- iliory Inputs End-of-Tape Alarm Built-in Extended Range Speaker Operates in any Carrying Position were an integral part of the series' long run.

"In that series, my relationship in the show was with Bob," she said. "It is primarily with the kids in 'The Brady and the way it is written, I never lecture them, just join them." WHEN ONE has a strong supporting role in a series, "you don't have a feeling of responsibility for its success and you don't have to do much worrying," she said. "You can work hard to make your part interesting, even when you haven't much more to say than 'The carriage awaits without' If you can handle your part well, if you deliver, then the producer, director and the writers will give you better and better lines." Some of her activities have been less than satisfying: There was a short period when she played a physical-education teacher during the brief run of "The John Forsythe Show." He was a swinging bachelor who inherited a girls' school. Ann's part consisted mostly of running around blowing a whistle it amused neither the actress nor the audience. ANN was in Manhattan for the day, accompanied by her twin sister, Harriet, wife of a.

Leonia, N.J., businessman and the mother of four. They are identical twins and, in spite of the fact that they live on opposite sides of the country, NEW YORK Television viewers with a few gray hairs see the face and think of her as Schultzy. Today's kids identify her as Alice, the Bradys' housekeeper. She thinks of herself as Ann B. (for Bradford) Davis, actress, and a lucky one who has managed to keep working pretty steadily over the past 15 years.

Currently busy in ABC's "The Brady Bunch," Ann B. may privately mourn mildly that the official stars of the show are Robert Reed and Florence Henderson, who play the mother and father of a large family. She is well aware, however, of the advantages of playing a comedy sidekick. "I learned that lesson during the five years playing Schultzy in 'The Bob Cummings she said. "I may have been in a supporting role in the series, but I could go out and play stock each summer as a star." Her television specialty ever since Schultzy has been a variation of that perky, salty comedy character.

"PAUL HENNING, who was about to do the Cummings series, thought that since Cummings was to be surrounded by gorgeous models and to consider himself a lady-killer, he would have a man play his secretary," she said. "Then he saw me playing in a revue a sort of off-off-Broadway thing we did long before Off-Broadway came to New York."
