WEAVER Doris Day is the No. 1 money -making star of the United States and Canada, according to the 33rd annual polling of exhibitors to determine name and rank of the Top Ten personalities whose box office drawing power produced the greatest gross income, in city, hamlet and town, during the year. Exhibitors have reported 1964's leader Miss Number One in four of the last five years. Miss Day's contemporaries on the 1964 Top Ten list are, in this order: Jack Lemmon, second; Rock Hudson, third; John Wayne, fourth; Cary Grant, fifth; Elvis Presley, sixth; Shirley MacLaine, seventh; Ann-Margret, eighth; Paul Newman, ninth, and Richard Burton, tenth. i 1 Publications launched its first polling of exhibitors to determine the exhibitors' "money making stars" in drab, depression-ridden 1932, when a dollar was a dollar and hardly anybody had one.

Banks were popping, theaters were collapsing countrywide, and it was no time for an exhibitor to fool around with what were called "new faces," then as now, in hopes of building stars for a tomorrow when, he had good reason to believe, he wouldn't be still in business to cash in on them. What he wanted, needed, absolutely had to have, was an "old face" that everybody Movie Next 15 Top Stars 7. MacLaine 10. Richard Burton 21. Natalie Wood 22.

Audrey Hepburn art but the public appears to have put an end to all that by taking him to their pocket-books. Richard Burton is the third of 1964's new arrivals in Top Ten territory. He didn't have far to come, and he had plenty of warrant. He had finished 25th in the 1963 polling, ovie knew, valued, trusted and could depend upon, to get him out of the red. And that is how come that a nice old lady named Marie Dressier showed up as Miss Number One on that first list of Top Ten Money Making Stars, with a couple of nice elderly gentlemen named Wallace Beery and Will Rogers following in seventh and ninth positions respectively.

Miss Day's achievement in earning Number One position four times places her in the very special galaxy of stars which might properly be called the Top Three Money Making Stars of Our Time, The other two members, of the money maker group are, in chronological order, Shirley Temple, 1935 6-7-8; and Bing Crosby, 1944-5-6-7-8; and Bing Crosby, 1944-5-6-7-8. (Isn't there a picture idea here somewhere?) Miss Day's nimble runner-up in the 1964 standings is the Jack Lemmon of "Under the Yum Yum Tree," "Irma La Douce" and, most recently, "Good Neighbor Sam," not to mention again the honored "Days of Wine and Roses" and the deathless "The Apartment." Rock Hudson repeats on the 1964 list in the third position he held on the 1963 lineup, following three years in second place and two years as Mr. Number One. His 1964 release, "Send Me No Flowers," was out in time to reach most of Time Clock Can Help that it is the nature of oppon- ents to oppose.

Wicked Play Win the first trick in dummy with the jack of hearts and lead the three of diamonds from dummy. You plan to "finesse" with the ten of diamonds. You expect to lose this finesse, of course, but you also expect the opponents to stay away from diamonds for the rest of the hand. In fact, the chances are that West will immediately switch to spades in a desperate attempt to get five tricks before you make the game. If Wrest switches to spades and continues the suit, you will get your ninth trick.

Since this is a sinful way to make the hand, take out your handker chief and sympathize with the opponents. It will make them feel better. Don't overdo this type of play. You can seldom flimflam the opponents into abandoning a Wck Nit Shew 7 p.m. Sat.

Draws Where It Counts Paul Newman drew a lot of ticket money through exhibitors' wickets during 1964 and before. After a number of strong portrayals in various pictures before standing trade and audiences on their heads with "Hud," a landmark along the screen's road to realism, he went out to his public in the amusing "The Prize," the stimulating "What a Way To Go," and then returning to seriousness in the shocking "The Outrage." There was a lot of criticism, both pro and con, in journalistic circles, of his product and his Game heart, you can still show the spades at the level of one.

5. Cary Grant I Quick Bottle By CAPPY DICK A pair of glass book ends will be fun to make for your own use or as a gift for someone. You will need two fancy glass jars or bottles. Flat-sided toilet water bottles will be satisfactory, if you can find two exactly alike. It is best if the jars have small screw-top openings like those shown in Figures 1 and 2.

You will also need some bright enamel paint and some clean, dry sand. The bottles or jars, including their lids, must be dry and clean and all labels; must be removed. I Pour a little of the enamel into a jar and put on the lid. Turn the jar around and around and upside down (Figure 2) until the entire inside has been coated with the paint. Pour out the excess.

Coat the inside of each jar in the same way. Also paint the outside of each lid with the same color. When the paint has dried, fill the jars or bottles with the sand to make them heavy enough to support a row of books (Figure 3). Put the lid on each jar and it is ready for use. Small decorations may be painted on the outside of the jars as in Figure 3 by using a do you REALLY Know Good PIZZA When You Eat It? HAVVKEYE INN 3930 Harrison Davenport Ph.

$1. SO Per Couple I Public Is Invited I Shareholders. the exhibitor voters, but his "Strange Bedfellows" didn't start its rounds until after the polling was completed and tallied. Took Early Stage John Wayne, who was Mr. Number One in 1950, 1951 and 1954, has been a standout Money-Making Star for exhibitors ever since he rode point on John Ford's great "Stagecoach" in 1939.

He finished in a remarkable fourth place in the 1964 polling, down only two rungs from 1963, with only "How the West Was Won" and the late breaking "Circus World" in release. Cary Grant, the actor's actor who's making a large number of new records as this is written to add to more than almost anybody else in box office history, is certain to better his standing in next year's ratings on the basis of his profitable "Father Goose," which also opens a new career for a performer whose original career is the envy of his profession. In the 1964 standings, as in 1963, he is fifth money-making star. Still Around Elvis Presley, the young man who upset the oracles of show business by declining to disappear from the world of guitar and song after one or two cyclonic seasons, went out to his public during 1964 in "Viva Las Vegas" and "Roustabout" to finish a highly satisfactory sixth in the an nual listing. He had a tenth, a fifth and a seventh to his credit before.

Shirley MacLaine, a newcomer to Top Ten rank, and long overdue for that distinction in the opinion of her fellow professionals, had the spectacularly long-lived "Irma La Douce" and the fast-breaking "What a Way To Go" making exhibitor cash-registers hum during 1964. They hummed her up from a soundly earned twelfth position in the 1963 polling to a snug seventh in the present ratings.

at POCTQR BLOOO ii 1 Magic By ALFRED SHEINWOLD National Men's Team Champion Bridge players who are opposed to sin of all kinds should read the rest of today's column with only one eye. We're about to discuss how you can make a contract that no honest man should make. An honest man can make only eight tricks with this hand. When he leads spades in an attempt to take a ninth trick, the opponents get three spades and two diamonds. This is a shame.

Virtue should be rewarded. But we live in a sinful world, and the only way to make three notrump with this hand is to play it wickedly.
