THIS CHIMP KNOW.S HIS BUSINESS, STARS IN By ERSKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent HOLLYWODD A monkey, we can be fairly accurate in reporting today, swiped all the peanuts right out from under Jack Benny's nose. He's the pint-sized chimpanzee who, with visible disgust, picked his chair up and stalked off the stage when Jack started to play "Love in Bloom" on the violin, during a CBS television show a couple of months ago. The show was the one, you may recall, in which Jack joined the Marquis Fajnily monkey act for the best stares of his life.

But while Jack goes on jesting about how come he doesn't get to bat his big blue eyes as a movie star, it is the chimp who is batting his big brown eyes in a big movie role he won as a result of the Benny TV show. DISNEY saw the performance and three days later hired the 37-pound, four-year- old chimpanzee to play famed "Mr. Stubbs" in his film version of the circus adventure story, "Toby Tj'ler." Nine-year-old Kevin Corcoran stars as Toby, Now you can take Director Charles Barton's word for it: "This cJiimp understands direction better than a couple of luuna.ns I've with," And you can take it from me that 31-inch-tall Mr. Stubbs, just three years out of the Belgian Congo, enjoys performing in front of cameras. He hasn't missed a cue since Trainer Gene Detroy, a droll English- manwho has been schooling chimps for 20 years, brought him to the studio and said: "Now be a good boy and don't spoil any takes or you'll wind up in a nose cone at Cape Canever- al." It is because Trainer Detroy "thinks like a chimp" that the once-unknown chimp can say he left the Congo vines for stardom in Hollywood.

Explaining the human-like behavior of Mr. Stubbs in scenes for the film, Detroy told me: "It isn't just a matter of imitation, I teach chimpanzees like most people teach children. It's chimpanzee psychology you have to be one step ahead of them. You have to think the way they do." Mr. Stubbs may not have an acting method, but there's no doubt that he's a star at the Disney studio.

He has a dressing room, recently vacated by that shaggy dog, and a prop boy puts a red rose on his dressing room table every morning. He's posed for torn-shirt publicity stills. Off-screen he wears S75 suits and white bucks. THE DETROY chimpanzee training school is on a two-acre estate near Las Vegas where Baron, one of the older chimps, sometimes acts as baby sitter. Baron, Mr Tubbs and two other chimps noi-mally play the night club circuit, including Vegas.

"BIr. Tiibbs." deadpans Detroy, "Is lucky in the casinos, his winnings and I believe he's ahead about fSOO at the moment." As a reward for his acting, Mr. Stubbs gets a gumbdrop after every scene. Like some movie mothers I've seen. Trainer Detroy sits outside of camera range and flashes the chimp hand signals.

For one scene, in which Mr. Stubbs finds a man's coat and goes through the pockets to recover a bundle of letters, Detroy showed him what to do just once. "1 11 DIX our suit with matching wool 11 blouse turl)an. Right: 1' iwn and pink-boigo checked suit by Tournaye of ii pus A WIDE CHOICE is yours this autumn, when it comes to suits. Tlie fluffy-furred blonde look of the 1930s is back in vogue (left) with fur trim everywhere.

The little-boy look, with wide collar and slraight-lined front, continues, with added sleeve interest (center). For the conservative there are comfy Chanel-type jackets and pleated skirts (right); the traditional fitted jacket is also back. "THAT'S ALL, the rehearsal he needs," the trainer told Director Barton. "If we rehearse again he'll get at the letters too fast. It won't look like he's searching for them." Detroy underestimated his The gal on vacation Is active and she can't be too careful about good groominsr.

When she plays tennis, swims or dances, she must remember lo look and be attractive. chimp. Mr. Stubbs found the letters in three seconds for the first take, which was much too fast for Director Barton. They finally had to get some thread and loose-stitch the pocket to slow the chimp down.

Detroy purchased Mr. Stubbs in 1957 for $1,000. Six months later he became the star of the Marquis Family act with a show-stopping searching the faces of audiences to find his "father" and finally fixing one random male with a wistful, unwavering stare.

Ruth Millett Look Out, Don't Be Caught By Husband-Hunting Coeds Memo to young men who are entering college this fall: Recently I've had tlie opportunity of talking to a ntimber of girls are enterijig college this fall, and I think I ought to warn you most of them have only one ob.iective in mind to find a husband. Why should that concern you? Because unless you're wary, your dreams of going through medical college or law school or becoming a scientist may end with helping to pick out a silver pattern by the end of your fi-eshman or sophomore year. Oh, the girl may convince you that she is willing to drop out of school and go to work to let you finish. She may even do if a baby or two doesn't come along. But ewn if she puts you through school at the sacrifice of finishing her own education, it is going to be a long, hard struggle and you'll end up wiUi a wife who hasn't as good an educational background as 5'ou.

But chances are, what will happen is that you'll out of school youi-sclf and settle for a job you don't reaUy want. And all 'because some girl set out for coUege determined to get a husband, rather than to get an education.
