Machine maicca change. (tntismaUonalJ llollyWOiMi By BRSKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent PHOENIX, Ariz. Good day for Scotqh: Marilyn Monroe is still dropping shoulder straps for photographers but she isn't dropping wordage for the press about the "new" Marilyn, said to be a great actress. At least she ain't lalkin' 1o the drop-in press, invited here by 20th Century-Fox for location scenes-on "Bus Stop," her first in a year. Studio press agents arc willing but apparently her private drum beaters and career guides have other ideas.

I took the FQX to Phoenix for a day and didn't even catch a glimpse of Miss Wiggle Hips. Neither did a national magazine writer doing a cover story on her. And he'd been around for THREE days. The film editor of a big London -newspaper had flown 6,000 miles.to wait SIX days to see Marilyn. Then they talked for only 30 minutes with Marilyn's New York career boss, photographer Milton Greene helping And even then, it is said, Marilyn spent half of the time on a long-distance phone call AT THE SARAH HOTEL in downtown Phoenix someone pointed out Marilyn's fourth floor penthouse but said gabbing with Marilyn was something else again.

Then he added, "How do you like your Scotch?" It looked like the beginning of a great day Kor Scotch. At the Phoenix rodeo grounds, the company has been shooting for a week, I waited for almost three hours to talk to Marilyn, who was incommunicado with a private press agent while Director Josh Logan filmed pick -up shots not requiring the star. She was in her dressing room, a 50-foot luxury trailer with lace curtains and dra blinds. She was "studying dialog," it was said, with her new drama coach, Paula. Strasberg.

Paula, wife of New York Actors', Studio head Lee Strasberg, replaced Marl lyn '8 long-time coach, Natasha Lytess, the star won her contract dispute with 20th Century-Fox. But the day 's shooting schedule indicated Marilyn had little or no dialog. Just fleeting glimpses of her in a rodeo crowd. AFTER THE three-hour wait, Milton Greene and a doll representing a private publicity office handling Mariljn Monroe Productions came out of the trailer and said she was storry Marilyn 's still studying her lines with Paula. Maybe if you come back this afternoon you can talk to her.

"This afternoon maybe," echoed Milton Greene. It was hot and dusty at the rodeo grounds. I had heard enough about the "new" Marilyn suddenly, becoming a great actress. director Logan even put her in the same acting league with Grace Kelly, adding, "Hollywood hasn't taken this girl seriously." We decided to wait back at the hotel for, the flash that Marilyn was ready to talk. AT THE MARILYN MONROE headquarters in the hotel someone again said.

It was a good day for Scotch. In fact, yi'c were told, it had been a great week for Scotch. With Marilyn incommunicado in her pentliouse or in her big trailer dressing room for a week, the dgily flow of drop-in, newspaper writei's found themselves interviewing each other. And when newsmen interview each other, Scotch comes in handy as an antidote for the conversation. An hour before our scheduled return to Hollywood, Marilyn's private press agent sent a note to the hotel that we could return on a later plane and maybe talk to Marilyn when she returned to the hotel from the rodeo grounds.

But I got to thinking about that fellow from London who had wafted six days to see Miss Wiggle Hips. So did the national magazine writer working on a Monroe cover story. So we de- decided it was nice but we leave on schedule. Besides, we were all out of Scotch. I NEED CASH?
