Mimsy Farmer Starts Thomas To Wondering By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 17 UP) Can lightning strike twice in the game vicinity? A starlet with the improbable name of Mimsy Farmer has high hopes that it could happen. The story is this: Mimsy is a Hollywood high school girl who -was discovered while munching a snack in a coffee shop near the campus. Now don't go away. I know you've heard this song before It's from an old familiar score that goes "way back to a starlet with the then-improbable name of Lana Turner.

Only Faces Change? They say nothing changes in Hollywood, except the faces. So I went out to Warner Brothers to see if the ancient legend had truly been repeated. Mimsy was on the set of "Spencer's Mountain," in which she appears with Henry Fonda Maureen O'Hara, James MacArthur, Donald Crisp and Wally Cox. It was hard to tell whether Ehe has the attributes of another Lana, since her hair was up in rollers. But the aspects tory true, that she was dlscov- red eating a hamburger? "No," she replied.

"I think I vas having soup. But the rest it is true. I had noticed this man looking at me in the eat- ng place. When I went outside he came up and introduced him- elf as Byron Griffith and ask- me If I'd like to get in the business. "I said, "What business? 1 and he said, 'the movie I aid yes, and he gave me and told me to have his my parents call him if they were nterested.

"They called him and I signed up with him as my agent. I went to his -weekly dramatic classes for four months before le started showing me around at the studios. On Option Now A few television jobs gave her some seasoning. Producer-Dlrec Delmer Daves tested her for 'Spencer's Mountain" and per suaded Warners to sign her. She's on a present.

But visible checked out okay. She is a petite blonde with green eyes and a pert mouth in to which she sometimes puts a dainty foot. Such as when we were discussing with Maureen O'Hara the visit on the set Gene Tierney. "She's a real old-timer, Bald Mimsy, wide-eyed. O'Hara collapsed in laughter admitting that she and Gene were contemporaries at 20th Century Fox "and I'm no ashamed to say that I came to Hollywood 21 years ago." That was four years before Mimsy was born.

Can she make it with a name ike Mimsy? Everybody seems to think so. Her father named her Merle, but her Mother cared ittle for it and substituted Mimsy, which stems from Lewis Carroll. Other facts on Mimsy: Born Chicago, Feb. 28, 1945. Father was a newsman and radio writer, now is a coin dealer.

She still has a semester of high school to finish, then may study at UCLA. She studied dramatics at Hollywood high and went arounc with the acting hopefuls. But no ore. "They're sick," said Mimsy, a girl who speaks her mind.

17 (AP) that you're working in a bakery. Suddenly, the conveyor belts carrying the bread stop, reverse, and begin hurling loaves at you. It would be perplexing, to say the least. And it happened here. Suppose you're working at a hosiery mill.

The machines stop, reverse, and needles became jammed with needles, gears break, socks become entangled. That happened here, too. These and other nightmarish things occurred Tuesday when machines turned on their operators because of a freak electric power disturbance. Telephone service also was interrupted, adding to the confusion. No one could find out what had gone wrong.

Workmen watched wide-eyed as power boilers spewed smoke and flame as forced drafts went backwards, blowing air through the furnaces Instead of outward. A Duke Power Co. spokesman said It was all caused by a "phase reversal" In a line. Li Memorial Two persons were admitted to emorial Haspltal Thursday, af- receiving treatment at the mergeicy room.
