"While most of these have worked only once," MacdonneU said, "there are exceptions. "These are the people of Dodge City, who lend a certain stability to the town's population and provide continuity to the background against which our stories are laid." a ion "Gunsmoke" player, other than star Jim Arness and featured players Dennis Weaver, Amanda Blake and MUburn Stone, is Bert Rumsey, who has been in 20 episodes of the frontier drama.

Rumsey has played "Sara," the bartender of the Saloon, 19 times Once he was promoted to the role of BiU Pence, half -owner with Kitty RusseU (Miss Blake). Other townsfolk include Mr. Johas, proprietor of the general store; Jim and Hank, the stagecoach drivers; the clerk at the Dodge House hotel; Mr. Botkln, the banker; Moss proprietor, of the stable, and Tobeel, the Indian guide.

Bob Brubaker has played one of the stagecoach drivers more than anyone else, which amuses him somewhat since he was a bomber pilot during World War II and he says he gets the feeling that he's retrogressing. Howard Culver has played the hotel clerk The "brass, ring" on the Hollywood merry goround these days, for actors who ride it to a livelihood, is a role in the "Gunsmoke" series, "But one you've played the show." one said recently, "the chances are you've had It. They seldom call you back." "Gunsmoke" producer Norman MacdonneU, acknow-. ledging that it is hard for an actor to get even one role in the series, says: "We're fortunate In having a 'buyers' market.

Everyone wants to work for us because 'Gunsmoke' is the top-rated show on television. We can always get the people we want. "The reason few are called back for more than one performance," MacdonneU -says, "is that we don't want their faces to become too familiar. We want viewers to think of them as Kansans of the 1870's, rather than as familiar actors in new roles." More than 600 actors worked on "Gunsmoke" during its first four years, MacdonneU pointed out.

"At first I wanted to sug-' gest names like Margo-Gold-wyn-Mayer, Margo Para- mount and Margo Columbia," she smiled cynically. "Then I decided on Margo Fox, but that would look as if I were polishing the apple. "I didn't want to chance my last initial. It would mean changing the monogram of my clothes and handkerchiefs So I submitted Margo Weath-erly, Margo Warren and Margo Winters. But they weren't approved.

A few, among them Suzy Parker and Lauren Bacall, have managed to make it, but they are rare exceptions. Latest high fashion model from New York to make the try is Margo Moore, a cham-rjiagne blonde who arrived in tinsel town determined to be herself.

But after some six months it's doubtful if her own mother would recognize Margo-at least not by name. She signed a long-term contract with 20th Century- Fox studios under the name of Margo Warner her real moniker is Marguerite neriuS, of the old Italian violin-making family. After playing a sexy 'role in "Hound-Dog Man," the studio suffered a mild, form of apoplexy upon discovering a girl named Warner was for Fox. After all Warner Brothers is a competing studio. Chats With Producer Before the picture was re- leased, and prior to the start of her new film, "Wake Me When It's Over," producer, Mervyn Leroy called Margo in for a chat.
