Hnnnlu Stor-Bu etin Friday, Dec. 17, 1965 B-7 Laughter their besr mcdic'rne 'Singing Doctors' a hit fast de Fad games fa SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) The "Singing Doctors" have sold 30,000 sets of their nnnnacnnncn El GALA 4 DAYS GHEQSCS? fflSffi 3rd ANNIVERSARY DEC. 17, 18, 19, 20 HUGE SHOW STARRING mm three albums of parodies kidding the life and work of the medical profession "Borborygmi," "Placenta Preview" and "Medic Emetics." Other numbers include "Pentothal Is a Ball," "Black and Blue Cross," "We'll Give Stamps," and "Halitosis Beats No Breath At All." Dr. James T.

Brown, a surgeon, organized the group out of necessity he was appointed chairman of the entertainment committee for the Greene County Medical Society's annual installation banquet and was given no money. "As a last resort, I searched around for five more extroverts to do a half We yet all three are among our steady sellers." And then there is Monopoly. Amateur capitalists the world over have been vying for Boardwalk and Park Place for 30 years and bootlegged copies of Monopoly have even been reported behind the Iron Curtain. "We'll sell more Monopoly sets this year than ever before probably two million," said Parker. "The total in this country alone is now somewhere between 40 and 50 million." Monopoly has provided riches for its inventor, Charles Darrow, who now lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Because he sent the game through the mail, Parker Brothers feels obligated to examine every submission by amateur game inventors. "We had 2,000 games proposed to us last year, and this year there may be as many as 4.000," said Parker. "Ninety percent of them take little time to examine. They are usually track games which offer little novelty, or they are topical games which will age too fast. "There doesn't seem to be anything really new in the way of games.

The successful ones merely take something basic and add something." Parker can't provide much help for those of us who are convinced we could devise another Monopoly. There is no common denominator for a successful game. "If you enjoy playing it, then you've got something; if you don't enjoy it, you have failed," said the veteran game man. "That's all there is to it." HOLLYWOOD (AP) Edward P. Parker is a conservative New Englander of middle years who has devoted his lifetime to games.

He is the grandnephew of the founder of the Parker Brothers, the Salem, Massachusetts, firm that has provided entertainment for American parlors for 80 years. Parker, executive vice president of the firm, was here recently for several purposes: to confer with the Disney people, for whom his company has devised games since the early days of Mickey Mouse; to pay a first visit to Disneyland; to check on Christmas sales and stir up interest in his company's games. "Business seems to be good," he said, "but you never can tell until Christmas is over. For some reason we've never fathomed, people seem to buy games last, after they've purchased everything else." What's the trend in games? "There is no trend," Parker said. "We've seldom gone in for topical games, although other manufacturers do.

Our experience is that you have to get such games on the market fast, while the craze or news is hot. They can fade just as fast. "Take Space-oriented games. No one has been able to devise one that has captured the public's fancy. So far, that is.

"We find that if you can develop a good game that everyone enjoys, it will last for generations. Pit is 50 years old, and Flinch and Rook are 60 years old; dozen parodies," he said. "We're just a bunch of hams who border on being tone deaf." The other doctors are Charles E. Lockhart, Don F. Gose and F.

T. H'Doubler, surgeons; Harold H. Lu-rie, an internist, and Fred C. Collier, a pathologist. They reduced the installation banquet to a hilarious howl, as they did later in command performances of their "Medical Hit Parade." They sing in surgical gowns, hillbilly t-ups and hula skirts.

The "Singing Doctors" turned their record business over to the Greene County Medical Society at Springfield. As a result, 42 students are studying medicine at midwestern schools on grants and loans from the society's scholarship foundation. It gets all its money from the records. "We look forward to helping still more," Dr. Brown said.

Bibi Andersson has made the transition with what appears to be highly satisfactory results.

Miss Loy's role in "Barefoot in the Park" was voted the best performance by an actress in Chicago during the 1964-1965 season. The society consists of patrons of the legitimate theatre. It is named for a 19th Century English stage star. I 1.

Even on a rugged location, filming in America is easier than in Sweden, she said.

"In Sweden we have no stand-ins," she commented. "The actors have to stand under the hot lights until the scene is ready, and that is very tiring. "My stand-in on 'Duel at Diablo' was so good she was doing half my part. She is an excellent rider, and she performed the action scenes. I got worried that she would take the part away from me." Bibi had been joined by her husband, professor-writer Kjell Grede, for a brief vacation before returning to Stockholm.

She enjoyed the lush life in Beverly Hills. "It is so beautiful here," she commented as she gazed out at the sunshine and palm trees. "I have the feeling that Los Angeles is like a weekend. Sweden is a long Monday." rr no cover aLT DINNER 1.65 1i A IP-ll HONOLULU urm Mrn "3 WORLD SURFING PI COMMUNITY I I 25 KapatlU Pn. 777-187 I 1.

Produce r-director Ralph Nelson admired her work and cast her with James Garner and Sidney Poitier in "Duel at Diablo," which was made entirely on location near Kanab, Utah. Westerns have progressed beyond the era when the cowboy star kissed only his horse. "Four men try to tear my clothes off in one scene," reported Bibi. "But of course this is a western, and the hero rescues me before they can succeed." Was a European version filmed in which the hero arrived late? No, she said, expressing interest in the practice of some American producers to make franker or nuder versions for the overseas trade.

"We do the same thing in Sweden; we make American versions," she said. "For the version here, the girl wears pants and a bra." Bibi Andersson seems capable of playing both sides of the ocean. Her English is flawless. She admitted enjoying the location, grueling though it may have seemed. "For the first eight weeks the sun shone," she said.
