December 3, 1953 9 RENO EVENING GAZETTE Song Writer New Hotel At Vegas Faces Suit iifc. 5C i i 1 'Ut(M 4 -r- I -t- Tender Trap' Laugh Hit Is at Crest Anyone who likes to laugh will have a fine time starting Sunday at the Crest Theater, where The Tender Trap" will be showing. Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, David Wayne and Celeste Holm have the starring roles. 'The Tender Trap" is a story about love from the viewpoint of debonair New York actors' agent and bachelor Charlie Reader (Sinatra) who has a flock of career girls breaking their necks to catch him. This is a source of amazement to Charlie's old friend, Joe Mc-Call (David Wayne) who has left his wife and kiddies back home in Indianapolis to come to town on a business trip and stay with Charlie.

All this is changed when Julie Gillis (Debbie Reynolds) arrives on the scene as she has a marriage plan in mind. Charlie finds his Utopian world turned upside-down by Julie and Joe comes to the realization that the domestic problems of the wall-to-wall carpeting and braces for the children's teeth are more important than illusory Manhattan romances. RORLEU Debbie Reynolds, engaged to marry Frank Sinatra in "The Tender Trap," tells him that first she's going to reform him. The CinemaScope comedy-romance co-stars David Wayne and Celeste Holm and will start Sunday at the Crest Theater. In Reno Job As Gardener Jack Urben of 305 Chestnut St.

works as a gardener when he isn't writing songs, breaking horses, playing the guitar or vocalizing under the name of "Singing Bill Rogers." And to top it off, he looks like the late Will Rogers. Urben, who has spent nearly all his lif roaming through the west is attending Reno gardens only "temporarily." His major occupation is song-writing and he has written 35. So far, only one of his western ballads has been published. 'There's Gonna Be a Round-up Bye and Bye" appeared recently in a collection of songs entitled "Ramblin' Jimmie Dolan's Song Corral." The song, his first one, was written in 1932. In 1952, he sang it on the radio on the Bob Hawk show and it was published in 1954.

With one success under his belt, Urben is determined to keep on composing and playing his guitar by ear.

A I LAS VEGAS A move to throw the still uncompleted Stardust Hotel into receivership was made here Thursday as of-j ficers and directors of the corporation were sued by a stockholder who claims two million dollars in corporation funds were dissipated. In filing the suit, Edward Rus-nick, who has a. $15,500 piece of the huge 1000 room hotel, said it is a class action being brought on behalf of all other affected stockholders. Rusnick alleges through his attorney, Louis Wiener, that at the time he purchased his stock, he was told by Anthony Cornero Stralla, now deceased, that four and one half million dollars would complete construction of the hotel. Now, Rusnick alleges, Stardust directors and officers have made a deal to borrow an additional two million dollars from Frank Hofues.

He claims the action is aealnst the best interests of the stockholders and that the terms! are "oppresive and inequitable." The case was filed in the court of District Judge A. S. Henderson who has not yet set a date for the hearing. Defendants in the action include B. W.

The act is differ ent from the usual act of its kind because Miss O'Brien's singing style is peculiar to her, and the dead pan comedienne has her own way of putting over a song. The 4 Stags prove able assistants, and the act is whipped into excellent shape now. Professor Backwards, despite a cold, delivers his monologue to the amusement of the audience and then climaxes his act with his upside down, backward writing which not only amuses but amazes. Les Marcellis are in top form.

Old Reno favorites, their current performance tops anything they have done on the local stage. The hard working Riverside Starlets and Bill Clifford and his orchestra round out an excellent show.
