$2,000,000 Investment I Face Familiar I 2Hf Arizona Dalit fctat Dunes Hotel Goes All Out With Its Casino De Paris' Dirty Old Man' Eyes Broadway LAS VEGAS, Jan. 11 (Spe-' rial) The Dunes Hotel in SECTION PAGE ELEVEN SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 1964 this gambling entertainment capital is sparing nothing in NEW YORK, Jan. 11 () On a biting winter's day, actor John Anderson stood outside a mid-Manhattan restaurant, waiting for a friend. In his pale yellow sport shirt, horse-blanket plaid coat and hat and golden tan, Anderson did look a lot like a visit Townbeat cians under the direction of Bill Reddie. But, the topper is the amazing Napoleon and Josephine scene where the revolution, amid smoke, gore and bloodshed, is gripplngly enacted in stark realism before an unbelieving audience.

The octoramic stage was designed by Sean Kenny, a student of the late Frank Lloyd Wright. The Casino de Paris show an intense drive to make the resort facility the No. 1 spot in Nevada. Already acclaimed for the long-running show, "Vive les Girls," in the Persian Room; the Sultan's Table, a nationally recognized restaurant half of my parts have been in westerns. Anderson, a quiet-voiced Carmen Cavallaro Strives For And Achieves Perfection Goal man of considerable culture and humor, says wryly that featuring gourmet food and a his great television specialty 1 WW string orchestra; and a projected high rise $8 million ad has been playing what he calls "dirty old men" roles.

dition of 22 stories, the Dunes represents an opening night investment of $2,000,000. Be ing California actor which he was but that did not explain the second and third looks he was drawing from passersby. Occasionally, a braver soul would approach the actor: "I know your face," was a typical remark, "and I've seen you a thousand times on television. But I can't place your name." "And that," explained Anderson soberly a few minutes later, "Is why I'm In New York. I want to place the name." One of his first television has come up with another ace, the French imported show, "Casino de Paris." assignments, in fact, was the party of a filthy, repulsive, buffalo hunter in an early episode of "Gunsmoke." The People around this town are talking about the Dunes show.

And, this is most al program, even in those free ways an indication whether a wheeling days before the fore the spectacular has completed Its first year, some $5,000,000 will have been invested by the resort. This figures to a weekly nut of $60,000 for the 100-cast performance. It marks the first time a Casino de Paris show has been permitted showing outside of Paris.

The character played by Anderson and another villain chained good, noble Marshal Dillon to the spokes of a wagon wheel and proceeded to kick and torture him. "It was a vicious show," recalled Anderson, "and I'll never forget the troubles I had in fight scenes.

With all my leather padding, teetering on two inch heels that built me up somewhere near Jim Arness' six-feet, seven height. People even now remember that show. And then, for the next two years, the show's promotion ads on CBS used a clip of some of those scenes I played in." than he exacts from himself. And, the result, obviously, is a de Pans show Pans, where such stars as Edith Piaf, Maurice Chevalier, Mistineuett Anderson, a member of the 1955 Broadway cast of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," went on the road with the show and arrived in Hollywood for a five-week run. He has been there since and most remarkable for a free-lance actor he has worked steadily- Directors took a look at his craggy features and decided he was great for character parts.
