I hope the sym-, phony brings him back, next year. 4 By ALEXANDER FRIED Danny Kaye, the comedian, wielded a baton (or rather a bundle of batons, plus a flyswatter) as guest leader of virtually an entire concert of the San Francisco Symphony, last night at the Opera House. Before he had been on the stage 30 seconds, he started a tide of laughs that rode high and hilariously until, after a last exciting, jet paced rendition of Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," he sweetly begged the delighted large audience to go home. The concert, whose only formal passage occurred hen conductor Josef Krips opened proceedings with Johann Strauss' "Fleder-maus" Overture, was a benefit for the symphony pension fund. Kaye donated his services and had the time of his life doing so.

The fund netted some $30,000 as a result. KAYE'S FIRST gag was to charge onto the stage, clutching his many sticks, and go right past the podium and out the wings on the other side. he got down to the business and mimicry of "conducting," he looked every inch a romantic maestro tall, slender, straight, blond. To this virtue he added an amazingly crisp, sweeping, clever beat, usually at a lot more than normal speed. With all the adroitness he showed in rhythm and in making himself look as if he controlled the symphonic ensemble, he told the crowd he could not read a note of music! HE HAD fun with Rossi-ni's "Gazza Ladra" Overture, lost one stick completely, broke another to Examiner photo MARRIAN WALTERS AND RUSS BENDER Better response and more laughs with "Once Over Nightly" Once Over Nightlf Is Going Over Nicely By DOROTHY MANNERS Motion Picture Editor, Hunt Headline Service HOLLYWOOD From "Ben Casey" to Bobby Kennc dy goes Vince Edwards.

What's more, they've "sicked" Budd Schulberg on to writing the screenplay which he and Josef Shaftel are pro duclng for their Fortuna Company. And Budd'i just the boy who can beef It up. Vince plays the ruthless union organizer who claws his way up the ranks to gain control of his men until he be-comes one of labor's stormiest figures. Vince, who has done some clawing of his own on his way to the top, is Just the boy to play "him" to the hilt! STILL ON THE SUBJECT of Vince-despite estranged wife Kathy's suit for divorce, he's hoping the baby expect-ed In March will get them back together.

There's an out-Bide chance. Vince didn't want the divorce action. To prove it, he's shelved his dates with Hollywood beauties. But he's keeping busy. He will emcee the Nat (King) Cole memorial benefit at the Music Center Friday.

THE BURTONS may be on the ragged edge of their first misunderstanding if not battle. Liz wants to co-star with Richard in "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" at MGM, and Dick can't see it. He argues, "If this keeps up we might as well go on TV with a Mr. and Mrs.

soap opera. We made "The Sandpiper' together and are now making 'Who's Afraid of Virginia In a little while we appear together In 'The Taming of the Shrew' in Italy. Enough's enough." That's what the man says and the missus still wants to do "Chips." It will be interesting to see who wins this round. JUST BEFORE Rock Hudson departed his bungalow at Universal for one of the ski resorts, the drapes caught fire from a heater. "Do you think it's because we changed the title of my new picture from 'Cliffs of Mersa to "The Hot Eye of cracked Rock, helping the office crew and studio fire workers get the blaze under control The ski jaunt will be a short one.

He bestowed genteel kisses on lady players. II chatted, yowled and whistled like a traffic cop.

In the "Nutcracker" Trepak. he demonstrated conducting with all kinds of soul. Showing that an orchestra doesn't need a conductor, he reclined on the stage with a cigaret and strolled among the audience during Ravel's "Bolero." He banished concert master Krachmalnick for some misdemeanor. When the two went offstage, a shot rang out Krachmalnick was the one who returned. IN A MARVELOUS takeoff on conductor techniques, Kaye demonstrated the meat-grinder type, the baby carriage pusher and the allergic leader whom the music sets to scratching.

If you write a story or a novel, of course, it's satisfying. And if it's well reviewed and people buy the book, there is great gratification.

But that all takes time time to get your work published and time for it to be appreciated. "But in the theater, you get your rewards immedi-ately and every night.

In any event, this is the prediction of Marrian Walters and Russ Bender, who play stellar roles in John O'Hare's comedy.

And Miss Walters should know, since she survived more than three years of the run of "Yum Yum Tree." 9 "We've had better response and more laughs with 'Once Over she told us. "That's because, in my opinion, it's a better play. And the word is beginning to get around. It's not just a sex farce, but really a character farce. Each role has a real person behind it.

They're not merely stereotypes for double takes. "HOWEVER, 1 i 1 1 say that it's somewhat discouraging to have worked 20 years perfecting comic timing, only to get the biggest laugh of my career as I make my final exit in 'Nightly' and the audience discovers grass stains on my skirt evidence of a joust in the stable with Russ." Bender had no comment to make, though he smiled slyly and disclosed that he started out as a writer and became an actor because he was somewhat of an extrovert. "When I got out of school. I began writing rie-tective stories for the pulps," he said. "I was only 22 and I greatly admired the superb mystery writers, like Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Ham-m 1 1 and Earle Stanley Gardner.
