Marlyn is a Californian who came out of the Billy Barnes Review to act on nearly every television series imaginable. She played the ingenue in both Hrigadoon and Carousel on television Now she is starring on Broadway in the musical How Now, Dow She is so honest that she makes a surprising revelation about that moment when she lirst faced a Broadway audience. a moment which is supposed to be the dream of every actress. was a big she said from California and having been raised on a farm.

Milt Hoffman and hLs tape editor. Dick Wil son. photographer by profession.

Lord Snowdon was fascinated by the small, significant detail wrinkles, the warts, the veined hands of his subjects Some of the sequences were painfil to watch There were Noel oward and Cecil Beaton, both keeping stiff upper lips about advancing years and talk ing of loneliness There was a retired admiral and his wife, a granddaughter of Victoria. grumbling about their aches and pains and deafness There was real tragedy a sequence showing an arthritic man being taken to an old age home while on the sound track, his children were explaining, almost too much, why they could no longer keep him with them The old man. tears showing in his eves, said nothing, just took off his glasses and polished them carefully with trembling hands It was not a happy hour, but it was a moving one for those who could bear to sit through it Real Hickory Smoked BAR-B-QUI PORK LOIN RIBS Served With Slow, French Fries Hot Buttered Rolls $15 Coleys Food Serv. 102 S.
