By JAMES BACON AP Mrvie-TV Writer HO 0 0 1) -Amidst lota of while space, full pape ads recently appeared in Hollywood tradepapers stating simply: "My Knlr Lartv "(x) Manufacturer's suggested retail price." Unsigned, the ids later were disclosed to be ths puckish work of that master of screen satire, Director Billy Wilder. Devilish or not, the ads accented the astronomical bidding for the movie rights to the famed Broadway and International musical hit. Warners made a firm offer of $5,000,000 for the ahow, an offer still unaccepted.

Briton Made Happy Other than the owners of the show, the happiest person In town -because of the record bidding Is British Actor Michael Evans Until the asking price got publicized, only two names were mentioned for the casting of the star role of Prof. Henry Higgins Rex Harrison and Cary Grant, Harrison, because he created the roie on Broadway, and Grant, because he sells tickets at movie boxofficcs. But the high price of the property suddenly has made Evans the dark horse candidate for the Higgins' role. He played Higgini in tho national company of the show both in the United States and the 10 week tour of Russia. His 1,200 performances in the role even surpassed those of Harrison In the New York and London versions.

Many who have seen all think the younger Evans was the best Higgins of the lot even better than Harrison. Evans Called Best Comedian Jim Bakus says that "Fair Lady" producer Herman Levin told him Evans was the bout. Talent alone doesn't always get choice movie roles-but money does. One top Warner source, who saw Evans in the Los Angclea company, confirms that he Is very much in the running if the studio gets the property. The executive's reasoning: "It's all a matter of economics.

No star name is needed to sell 'My Fair Say the property does sell for $5,500,000. It will take mora than that to make it maybe even $10,000,000, "Grant's cut, usually a hefty percentage off the top, would add another million or two. "Harrison's price, while not as high as Grant's, is way up there. That leaves Eva tie whose price is reasonable and we know he can d. th job superbly.

If he should get it, it would make him a star overnight." Evans recently quit the touring stage company in order to make himself available In Hollywood for the part. This decision came after his agent got feelers from several st'idios bidding on the property.

Wants Gina's Dream By PIE.RO DE GARZAROLLI 110MK (AP) Gina Lollobrigida has traveled the movie of the world but she she is searching for the ideal role "One that would fit me like a tight-knit dress." "My dream role," adds the actress who would do justice to any tight-knit dress, "is that of a modern woman, harassed by problems of everyday living a woman who faces the obligation of being true to her husband." But the shapely brunette sadly admits she is going to have to wait for her dream role. In her next movie she will plsiy an ugly old woman, and in the one after that she will be a beautiful princess. Plays Role Daily Gina, however, gets to play a. modern woman caring for her family almost every day of her life. Her 4-year-old son, Milko is the apple of her life.

She is seldom separated from her Yugoslav-born husband, Milko Skofic, who also manages her movie affairs.

PRICE Piano Duo to Play Here Fonda Takes Half and Half He Divides Acting Time and invests in Himself one of the all time profit-makers both in movies and on the stage.

He also invested in "South Pacific." Told that director John Ford once paid him a compliment In naming the two best Ford pictures as "The Fugitive" and "Young Mr. Lincoln," both starring Fonda, the lanky actor commented: "That's Ford for you. He wouldn't mention 'Grapes of Wrath, or 'The Informer' or the pictures that won all the awards and mads all the money. He has to mention the two biggest financial flops for both him and me. But I thank him anyway." Fonda, now playing in "Advise and Consent," is heading: east for a TV show and rehearsals for a stage role about a man dying of cancer.

Called "Gift of Time," Fonda believes that it is the greatest acting challenge of his career. Naturally, he's betting his own money that it will be a hit.

"It's tough but it's true." she said in almost flawless English, "In my next movie I will be an ugly 80-year. old woman, probably the most horrible looking creature you have ever bumped Into." Gina will play the title role in a film based on "Lady a novel by Romain Gary. Although it isn't her ideal role, Gina said, it was "the kind of part I have always wanted to have. You won't aee much of my legs." Deathbed Confession "Lady is the story of a respectable woman who collapses under the weight of a lifetime of integrity to tell, on her deathbed, of her tempestuous love affairs.

"The whole affair is very whimsical," added Gina with a twinkle in her eyes, "I had the fun of my life reading the script and being made up." The movie will be shot in the United States.

Mitch Miller BUCKLEY'S Discount Record Shop 1707 Church Open Nights 'til 9 By JAMES BACON AP Movie-TV Writer TTOLLYWOOD Hank Fonda gives a surprising answer to why he divides his acting chores between Hollywood and the stage.

"I make as much mowy on the stage as I do In movies," answers the blunt-talking Fonda. And it's considerable In both mediums." Most actors and actresses usually answer that question with a soap box oration on how the stage and the stage alone nour-ishes the true artist's appetite for creative expression. "I'm not that art," gays I Fonda. Columnists have tried to draw him into a feud with his daughter, actress Jane Fonda, an exponent of the method. "I've told Jana and I've told my son, Peter, that an actor can flail his arms or stand on his head, if that's the method that will get the job done." Picture Takes Big Quick Shift HOLLYWOOD German Actor Karl Boehm came up with one of the hard facts of Hollywood In his first English speaking role.

"I had starred In many German pictures," says Boehm, "but I knew that meant nothing outside of Germany, so I Instructed my agent to get me an English-speaking movie. "I got a script for a whodunit, a London gangster story. Leo Genn, one of the bost actors, had already signed. I thought it would be a great start for me. "When I showed lin the said they had just signed Jayne Mansfield for the feminine role.

Suddenly, the whole niovl wa changed. Instead of a whodunit played against the London streets, the locale was shifted to a night club where a bunch of nude dancers performed. "The title was changed to 'Too Hot to Handle' and we made an entirely different story. This Is nothing against Miss Mansfield. She's a lovely girl.

But I refuse to see the picture." Since then. MGM has siirnpd him for "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm." Phonograph Records Itecordlng Tape Recording Disci ERNIE'S RECORD MART 179 3rd N. Hours 8:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. Open Sarurdev Till P.M.
