The Morning Call from Paterson, New Jersey • 25

The Morning Call, Thursday, January 20, Between The Acts Trek West Got Eim To Broadway by negating certain things, and accenting others, Cullum said. "The director, for instance, thought was too smooth in the role' at first. I had to alter that. Some scenes were rewrit- ond only to "Camelot" In Broadway history and received a mixed reaction. Fortunately, it survived on the strength: of its $1.5 million advance, which gave Lerner' and others chance to administer some first aid, Today, Cullum strongly feels the show is an artistic hit.

"Time makes it better," he asserted. "There are many, many good things about this show. The title song just grows on' you." The song, as a matter of fact, grew into what is today a big record 'hit. One of the big problems is ,,,,.,,,,,,,1 w.w.v.'.v- v. experiences.

"Alan wrote 2,200 pages," Cullum noted. "His big prob- blem was that he wanted all of it in the play." There also was the problem of stepping into a role that had been created for some one else.

Gisele MacKenzie 'Remains By KENNETH G. WALLACE (Drama Editor) Paramus If audience reaction is the criterion, the Playhouse on the Mall has a hit in "Remains To Be. Don't let anyone try to tell them a Broadway play can't be just as funny when it's brought here 15 years later. Caught up in the dizzy pace set by the play's star, Gisele MacKenzie, Paramus first nighters had themselves a ball Tuesday night roaring at this mystery-comedy.

The critically minded might have a less enthusiastic view. Action, to them, seemed to get a little out of hand and acting and direction gave way to frenetic expression, particularly in that wild second act. The fans couldn't care less. I guess you'd call it a good audi ence; tne corn and noKum, to use an old expression, put them in the aisles. Caught up in this patron compulsion, the actors not only relished the approval but kept giving more.

It was wild, man. Of course, authors Russell Crouse and Howard Lindsay, as By DAN LEWIS (Staff Writer) New York Last summer, John. Cullum got tired of being the actor-singer who "almost" got the lead role on Broadway. So, after seven or eight disappointments, he took his family to Hollywood, You guessed it, he had hardly arrived there when he got a call from Alan Jay Lerner, paging him to take over the lead in his new, Broadway-bound show, "On A Clear Day You Can See It actually didn't happen overnight Cullum had been on the West Coast long enough to land a leading role in which stars Julie Andrews and Max Von Sydow. "When I got this call, my natural reaction was that it was another feeler, that I was up for another lead," Cullum recalled the other day during an interview at Gallagher's.

"There was that iffy proposition here again. Louis Jourdan was in the role, opposite Barbara Harris, and he was unhappy. It looked as if he was going to withdraw." Here was John Cullum, young, handsome, and talented, faced with another bit of speculation. "Clear Day" was in Boston at the pretime for a pre-Broadway run. Cullum was being paged, but he might be taking the chance of flying East and not winding up with the role.

Still, he decided on the gamble, since Broadway is his first love. "For 80 days, while Jourdan remained undecided, I rehearsed the role in a hotel room by myself. Finally Jourdan pulled out and I took over and worked for the first time with the cast." There is another touch of irony here. Originally, Cullum had auditioned perhaps 10 times for the second male lead the 18th Century romantic hero before heading for Hollywood. "When they called and asked me if I would be interested in going into the show, I thought they were offering me the role I auditioned for, and I wasn't going to accept," Cullum recalled.

Leslie Cutler's direction has some ingenious touches but even he must have suffered pangs of guilt at the second-act frenzy.

Hal Linden displayed not only his own flair for comedy but a talent at the traps. He does the role Jackie Cooper did on Broadway and Cooper's known abilities as a drummer are equalled by Linden. Erik Rhodes, a veteran who's played many characters, turns comedian, too, and Richard Latessa, as a light-fingered cop, nearly stole the show with his bits. Earl Hammond has another lead role and Lynn Carlysle plays the other woman. The story means little It's the action that won the crowd.

Hollywood having accomplished for him what he sought a lead role on Broadway Cullum now feels he is ready to branch in other directions. One of the future prospects is a television series. Titled "The Cliffdwellers" it deals with seven men who live in a New York apartment and their daily they still look on most Yankees with jaundiced eye.

Nabors, however, is as friend ly as a hound dog puppy. He squirms with embarrassment at being a star, and he's a little self-conscious driving around in an expensive sedan, despite the fact it is loaned him by the manufacturer. Nabors does his own cooking, and is more than a little accomplished in the kitchen. He is especially adept at fried chicken, salads and spaghetti. He plays hosts to friends from down south who stop by to say "Hey!" CONSTANTLY COURTEOUS Often Jim knows them from his boyhood in Sylacauga, or nearby towns.

Jim is courteous and hospitable to one and all. Still, he keeps his own counsel. In addition to Griffith he- is close to Richard Linke, his personal manager, and other members of the Danny Thomas television entourage. He also dates Danny's daughter, Terry. Jim's natural voice is several octaves lower than the falsetto strains of Gomer.

Nabors, in fact, has a fine operatic baritone and loves to sing opera. Frequently he stops by the Horn, a Santa Monica night club that encourages talented patrons to get on stage and sing with the trio. It was at the Horn that Jim was discovered by Griffith which led to his supporting role on Andy's show three years ago. Because he has no pretentions, Jim's wardrobe is spare. He wanders around the Desilu studio in blue jeans or slacks, open sports shirt and tennis shoes.

He owns only a handful of suits and sports jackets. It's just as well. He doesn't have closet space for much else. He does have a large collection of recordings, an expensive stereo set and enough books to read for the next ten years. But his show and personal appearances conspire to keep him from relaxing.

Up at dawn for the half-hour drive to the studio for his CBS-TV series, he doesn't get home until after dark. By the time he's fixed dinner, done the dishes and studied his lines for the following day, he drops off to sleep exhausted.

STARTS TOMORROW By VERNON SCOTT Hollywood (UPI) Jim Na bors, the misfit JUarine of "Gomer Pyle," is as bright ana articulate off-screen as Gomer is stupid. He's also a wary bachelor whose mode of living is almost precisely what it was when he earned a hundred dollars a week, less than five years ago. Jim lives in a two-room house in the San Fernando Valley. Both rooms are living rooms and-or bedrooms. Four divans- two in each room break down into beds.

But during the day they are couches so that it may be said fairly that Jim has no bedroom. A tiny Pullman kitchen takes up part of one room 'and there is a bathroom hardly larger than a closet. THRIFTY BACHELOR Out behind the kitchen is a brand new washer and dryer, saving the thrifty Nabors the expense of laundries. Jim rents the house for a pittance and is proud of the swimming pool that occupies most of his fenced-in front yard. He is disquieted only when his best friend, actor Andy Griffith, comes to visit and wash his dogs in Jim's pool.

Both boys are southerners Nabors from Alabama and Griffith from North Carolina and while their roots have been transplanted to California, Hi "A HELL OF A PICTURE!" -litMofuio VEXTRAORDlNARYr xlixkfli WmIhl, In tod EXCLUSIVE!

Dozens of cops, a Japanese houseboy, the other woman all get mixed up in the plot before the mystery is solved.

British Painter Exhibiting Work Hackensack The first American 1-man show of British portrait painter Geoffrey Gleaves is now on view at the art gallery of the Ridgewood School of Art, 74 Oak Street. Gleaves, who assisted in painting the coronation portraits of King George VI and the Queen Mother, is showing portraits, landscapes, flowers, and drawings.

The show will continue through January 31. Gleaves was born in Wales. He studied in Toulouse, France at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, the Royal Academy Schools, London, the Royal College of Art, London, and in Paris and has exhibited at the Arts Council, Royal Institute Galleries, Royal Water Color Society Galleries, Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors, and Gravers, Cartwright Memorial Hall, Bradford, Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool, and the Bolton Art Gallery, and in Paris, Brussels, and Vienna.

22 23 By HAROLD HEFFERNAN Hollywood (NANA) Motivated by a long cherished desire to tell future generations the true story of the American Indian and his often-despicable treatment at the hands of this continent's invaders, producer Robert L. Lippert and director James B. Clark announce plans to film highlights of the Indian past, told from the Indian point of view. "Every school child knows how we purchased Manhattan Island for a few dollars and a string of beads," Lippert said. "But few of them know how ruthless was the treatment of those redmen who stood in the way of the pioneers as they headed west.

"Only a handful white men ever took the, trouble to try to be friends with the Indians, to learn their culture: One such was the painter George Catlin, who brought back over 400 water-colors showing their modes of dress, of living, and their ceremonies. He was their friend, and they knew it, and his record is unique. But the explorers and military people set out delib erately to destroy their way of living, to herd them into res ervations, to make them sign WAO 11 flit" Sioux, Winnebago, Pottawatto-mee, and Cheyenne tribes, in order to learn what they consider the most significant episodes in their history. Plans are to film the story in four or five episodes and in color and widescreen. Each part will highlight either a unique culture, such as that of the cliff-dwellers, or an historic turning point, such as the battle of the Little Big Horn.

The director said his interest in the project was re-kindled when he recently made "And Now Miguel" in Navajo country, and has long discussions with the local dignitaries. Many of them, he reported, were saddened by the fact that the old ways were dying, the old history was being lost or relegated to dusty archives hi Washington, and that even the young men of the tribes were beginning to forget their past was, in many ways, a source of pride. When Clark asked if they would cooperate in making the film, he found them enthusiastic and willing to offer any possible assistance. He emphasizes that the film will not be a documentary, but a dramatic work based on historical, fact.
