She originally announced she and Krasna would be wed next January when her divorce from Ted Briskin becomes final. Now it's all By OWEN CALLIN I time she was graduated from Fair- Let's talk ax High School, her voice attracted so much attentidh that she was about Capitol recording artist Martha Tilton, who, if she were one-half an inch taller, would be a perfect example of what some songwriter had in mind when he concocted the phrase: "Five-Foot Two, Eyes-of-Blue." Martha, born in Corpus Christi, was a Texan for all of three mouths before her parents moved to Edna, Kansas. It was there, at the age of four, that she stood up in front of an audience for the first time in her life to sing a song. It was only a nursery rhyme, sung for her mother's friends who had dropped in for tea. but Martha remembers it more vividly today than many of the professional appearances she has, made since then.

It was then she'learned that she loved to sing, not only for herself, but for others.

"VARIETIES ON PARADE" Jackie Coogait re Next Film For Ferrer By WILLIAM BEST (HE) Actor-Di- rector'Mel Ferrer announced todajr lie's going to produce the life of William Shakespeare for the screen.

The life of the bard of Avon never has been recorded on celluloid, mostly because of- the old historical dispute over whether he ever actually wrote the great works or was merely 'the pen name of the great seventeenth century lawyer- scientist-statesman', Francis "But the only assumption we can tiave is that he lived, If not in person at least in the personality and character of his works," said Ferrer. "We'll go ahead on that assumption." "Roistering Life" And the young star, fresh from an acting success In "The Brave Bulls," says he thinks he's figured out the approach that will not only record the roistering personal life of England's prince of literature, but cnp- tura the genius of his art and humanity. The likelihood is that Hollywood won't get to make this plum among artistic ventures. England 3. Arthur Rank if Rank will take on the project.

'Unfortunately for America," Ferrer said, "one of the great fl'ag- edies here is the luck of training in Shakespeare. It looks as though the story calls for almost entirely an English cast." Ferrer says he wants Laurence Olivier to play Will Shakespeare with British actress Jean Simmons, who'll star in R.K.O.'s "Androcles and the Lion," as Anne Hathaway. "Olivier's imagination is Elizabethan by instinct," said Ferrer. "With nobody else could you believe it is Shakespeare sitting there writing those lines. Way With Women "He's bold and witty and has a way with women, just as the bard did," Ferrer added.

Ferrer's idea is to make the production a literary documentary, filming on Stratford-on-Avon and old London and Interspersing it with the great sequences from Lear, Romeo and Juliet and Henry V. Ferrer said "I'll just play a bit part. Sal Francis just to Be on the safe side!" Orchard HalliTCell-Phillips' biography of Shakespeare documents his birth to John Shakespeare, a glover, and wife.
