Their answers to my questions were gems of psychology, and will help on the forthcoming assignment" Friends and Press Try to Marry Him Off Actor O'Connell has other problems besides his roles. He's a bachelor and most of his well-meaning friends (and the press) are trying to marry him off.

He admits giving a stock answer to most questioners "Sure I'd like to marry someday." Right now he's living the carefree life of a bachelor, with lots of feminine names and numbers in his little black book. He isn't much of a night club devotee, and is just as apt to wind up with his date in a bowling alley as anywhere else. In fact the night before our interview Arthur had bowled a few lines with his girl friend and complained of a crick in his back "not from throwing the ball, but from trying to put too much body English on it" The actor also owns a race horse jointly with Pat Boone. It's called April Love, and is a 2-year-old. O'Connell holds high hopes for the nag, although some of the expense bills make him blink.

"Actors can't save much money now," he said, "especially if they don't have interests in a picture and can't take advantage of the capital gains deal.

O'Connell confided that the "Anatomy" part has him worried.

SCOTT Arthur O'Connell, thin, medium-sized and happy Irishman, fished in the theatrical pond for 25 years before he caught a big one. Now every time he throws in his line the smiling, gray-haired actor haul in a prize. Currently co-starring with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis in U-I's "Operation Petticoat," O'Connell will finish just in time to head for a midwest location of Otto Preminger's "Anatomy of a Murder" with James Stewart.

I kicked around Broadway and Hollywood for years picking up bits and pieces," he said. "After a couple of dozen years of disappointments I learned not to take life too seriously. Then came (O'Connell salaamed) on stage and after that the film version." O'Connell won an Academy nomination for "Picnic" He didn't leave the ceremonies clutching an Oscar, but his film stock staged fantastic rise, bringing him six good roles in rapid succession.

"I made as much money In one year following 'Picnic' as I got during the previous two-and-a-half decades," O'Connell related with a large grin. "Of course, I didn't keep much of it, but it was fun watching it come quick and go quicker to the government" Although the character star jokes a lot about his career, he becomes serious when discussing his roles.

this three-act salon wagedy, which debuted on Broadway in the early 30s with Jed Harris supervising such people as Laurence Olivier and Leo G.

"Garden District" and "Sympathy" successfully down our spiritual craws, not, of course, have the same direct shock it had once in those genteely veiled days when perversion was an unheard of subject for forum discussion much less for the theater. Nevertheless, as the late George Jean Nathan observed while acidly dissolving a badly "re-interpreted" 1951 Broadway re- vival of it, the play is "doggedly, interesting."
