Hillary when they appear at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium Saturday night with motion gether of the entire company and their enthusiasm holds the BV WALTER AMES Many people have been wondering what Phil Harris Is waiting for in television.

Certainly his few appearances have brought notices that justify a more steady diet of his songs and wisecracks. The other day I believe I discovered at least one of Old-Timers in Roles of 'A Star Is Born THE GREATEST AMERICAN CRA.A SINCE "SOKE WITH the reasons for his infrequent Franklyn Farnum.

Evans took a leading part in training Hillary in the use of a new type oxygen carrier for the final assault on Everest. Evans also climbed to within 300 feet of the summit. In 1950 Evans was a member of the Tilman expedition to Annapurna. In 1951 he climbed 5- 1 THE jj are a group of old-timers in pic tures who had parts to play in "A Star Is Born," with Judy Garland and James Mason.

"We wait until the last moment before motoring to the Palm Springs station to catch the Sunset Limited shortly after noon. And we can't wait to get back on the train Friday night after taping the show." For the uninitiated in the Harris-Faye show time, it's heard on KFI Sundays at 7:30 p.m. "I've already used up most of my scheduled six guest appearances under my NBC-TV contract," Phil said. "When I did the 90-minute All-Star Revue show several months ago it counted as three guestings. Another single guesting and an hour-long shot on the Comedy Hour planned for me by John West will take care of the rest of the contract." Sounds Easy, But-One would think Phil and Alice's radio show is a breeze.

It sounds that easy on the air, but, frankly, Phil does some deep worrying Thursday evenings with his writers Disney Ul'Ti O.VE FOR THE MOSEY Phil Harris and Alice Fnve officiate in impromptu int' wing rare between their daughters Alice, left, and Phyllis, in this picture taken at their Thunderbird Country Club home near Palm Springs. Both appear together on radio, with television getting guestings from Phil, nothing from Alice. VI- Mffl T. TKHMKOIOI HER8CRT J. YATES mesents before being satisfied with the scripts.

"I won't do anything unless I'm sure it is as near perfect as possible," he commented. "That's probably another reason for no more TV than I have done. I'm not afraid of Turn to Page 9, Column 1 ft. BEVERLY HILLS visits to the home screens. It's a rambling home complete with swimming pool and luxurious gardens that nestles alongside the verdant seventh green of the picturesque Thunderbird Country Club outside Palm Springs.

Phil had invited me down for breakfast with the suggestion that we might get to meet President Eisenhower if he chose Thunderbird for his golfing that day, As it was Ike chose the Tamarisk course for his relaxing. As I drove into the Harris yard Phil was lolling against a gate absorbing the sun. He ushered me through the aperture and I found myself on the golf course. Likes Golf Handy "You know. I'm a golfing bum," Phil began.

"I probably belong to more golf clubs than anyone else in the country. I just like to be able to play wherever I happen to land. As you can see, I can walk out of my house, jump into the pool on one side, climb out the other, pick up my golf clubs, play a round of golf starting at the seventh hole and be back in the swimming pool before one can say Old Forester. It's really the life." As we talked Alice Faye, Phil's ever-lovin' spouse, was busy in the kitchen fixing bacon and eggs. The aroma filtered out onto the golf Radio Show a Chore "Hurry up honey," Phil called.
