Marceau apprenticed with the great French teachers, Etienne Decroux and Jean-Louis Barrault, before starting his own Paris company in 1949.

Since he faces no language barrier, he has toured dozens of countries with his show and will return to Russia next year for the sixth time. But although he is the master of mime, he recognized the need to adjust his technique to film. VARON'S RESTALRAST OPEN EVERY NIGHT MON. THRU SUN. FROM 5 P.M.

She dis- covered organic foods before they became a fad, and she can and iU deliver lectures about our air ana iooa Dy dangerous chemicals. But her theories of how to maintain health cannot be easily dismissed.

Not when you gaze at the woman whose skin is smooth and beauty intact at 74. Not when you see her being thrown around by chorus boys on the Carol Burnett Show Sept. 29. Miss Swanson made one of her periodic returns to the town where she reigned in the 1920s and 1930s as a member of the movie royalty indeed, she once came back from Europe with a marquis for a husband. On the Burnett show she is doing her impression of Charlie Chaplain, which she first performed in "Manhandled" in 1923 and repeated in "Sunset Boulevard" in 1950.

She started reminiscing about Chaplin, whom she first met at the Chicago studios of Essanay in 1913 when he was a comedy star and she was an extra: "He chose me to play a scene in a doctor's office in which I was supposed to drop my purse and he swatted me when I leaned over. He rehearsed it 12 times and then I told him I thought it was vulgar and not funny. So he relegated me to the rear of the set as a typist.

Fans of Marcel Marceau will have trouble recognizing the pantomimist in his new film until he moves.

Marceau is starring in his first major film. "Shanks." and he has abandoned the world-famed character of Bip. the comic-tragic clown he has played for 26 years. Instead, he portrays Malcolm Shanks, a scientist with supernatural powers, as well as old Walker, a mysterious 80-year-old. Another departure for Marceau.

He talks. "I have never spoken one word on a stage since I originated the character of Bip," said the Strasbourg-born mime. Many people have concluded that he was a mute. They'll learn differently in "Shanks;" Marceau speaks fluent English with only a touch of a French accent. The casting of Marceau was the notion of veteran thrill-maker William Castle.

The producer-director of "Macabre," "The Tingler," "Homicidal" and "Straitjacket," Castle has gone to great lengths to frighten audiences, including the wiring of theater seats with electric charges. He went more legit by producing the hit "Rosemary's Baby." Last spring Castle attended Marceau's one-man show at the Shubert Theater in Los Angeles and was impressed by the classic sketch "Youth, Maturity, Old Age and Death." Castle had. a script which dealt with all four, and he proposed the film to the Frenchman. "It was exactly what I had been looking for," said Mar ceau. "Ever since I had first come to America in 1956, 1 had wanted to enter the motion picture industry.

"I was a great admirer of the great silent-film comedians, Chaplin and Keaton, and thought producers would recognize that I could also perform the same broad pathos comedy. "But nothing happened. I was royally received in Hollywood Charles Laughton entertained me in his house; Marlon Brando and many other stars said how much they admired my art. But the producers said, 'He doesn't talk forget or 'We can't use that white They didn't realize there was another face behind it." Marceau has made 20 films, most of them shorts in his Bip character. He played a role in the Jane Fonda extravaganza, "Barbarella," but turned down other character parts.
