Barney Szold will direct the play, which returns Erwin to the stage aftpr a long absence. "Man on the Slick" concerns an Inventor, played by Erwin, who develops a toy which he believes has no commercial value. His housekeepers daughter, however, patents the gadget In collaboration with a boy friend while pretending to be in love with Erwin.

Dramatic and hilarious developments follow. those nights. Seems to me they got a fast shuffle with their TV show. It had freshness and some wonderful a i but got dropped by an impatient sponsor Highly recommended: The Pajama Game, as bouncy and breezy a musical as youll find this season. John Raitt impresses as a virile singing star and Dons Day is wonderful, freckles and all mm.

A final explosion capped the return to major film production of David O. Sebmick, who made the biggest moneymaker in movie history, Gone With the Wind. "Farewell to Arms is the first film Selznlck has produced since 1953.

Selznlck offered some advice during the final scenes to production executive Arthur Fellows, who has worked for him on and off for 20 years. Why dont you mind your own business?" shouted Feriowi. Youre fired," Selznlck replied. That wasn't an unusual event on the muitimillion-dollar production starring Rock Hudson and Selznick's wife, Jennifer Jones. Wiseacres say the picture ahould be retitled "The Revolving Door.

Filming barely got started in the mountainous splendor of Cortina dAmpezzo when Academy award winning director John Huston walked out. Friend said the cause was a 29-page memorandum from Selznick telling Huston how to direct the film. Then American production designer Alfred Junge end Italian art director Gaston Medin quit reportedly after squabbles with Selznick. In mid-June chief cameraman Oswald Morris stalked out.

They fall for the, gal and prefer to Call the whole thing off. But no, she'wanta them to go through with the kidnaping, since otherwise her publio will think it a cheap headline- grabbing gimmick. This type of comedy, to be successful, required clever satirical treatment and snappy dialogue which It got at the hands of the scripter, director and actors.

Miss Russell has never appeared tp better advantage, which is saying a mouthful. She waa well-supported by such players, as Clark, Una Merkel, BenayTEeButa. Robert Harris.

You could answer Rossano Brazzi and Giorgio Tozzi and be right both times. And if you dont mind the observation both rhyme with hotsy-totsy. I have sung a little bit, Brazzi told me before leaving for the South Pacific" shooting in the Hawaiian Islands. Mostly it was on the stage in the earlier part of my career.

"The studio has worked out a method like that used by Deborah Kerr in The King and I. I'll do most of the songs, but Tozzis voice will be used for the high and the low notes. It has worked out very well. Although he was born in Chicago, he sounds like me. Tozzi is the operatic basso who played the Pinza role opposite Mary Martin in the local civic light opera run of Sopac this summer In 1958, California can add five more to the thousands who are coming to live on these shores.

Theyll be Pat Boone and family. The crooner said the deciding factor would be how his film career pans out. There doesn't seem to be much doubt about his film career Twentieth Century-Fox figures him to be a draw long after the fad for Elvis Presley dies out Im sorry to say that I couldnt care lesa about Warners new release, The James Dean Story. I read that It's well done, but I fail to see the point in it, except to capitalize on the waning and somewhat morbid craze over the late actor Marge and Cower Champion are putting on another of their fine shows at the Cocoanut Grove RECORDS REVEAL SCENE FROM VALLEY PLAY Pictured here Richord Grant end Magdalena Sofia, seated front, and left to right rear, Robert Harmon, Robert Gruwell and Pearl Shear in "The Taming of the Shrew" at Valley Theater '57 in Tarzana. nJA Lon Chaney Starred At $50 Per Week last Light Opera 'Fanny' Happy Entertainment CAROLL MORRIS, year's "Miss Universe," makes her screen debut in U-I's "Man of 1,000 Faces," currently at the 1 1 wo Paramount Theater.

Tajo's work as the boys father is an earthy contrast -to the fastidious Gallic charm of Dauphin as the wealthy suitor and both actors handle the songs assigned to them with ease. Ta-jos lustrous basso is shown to best advantage in the tender Welcome Home and Dauphin proves that he can handle a novelty number in his rendition of Never Too Late To Love." Miss Morrows fine soprano registers in 'Every Night" and Jack Washburn as the sea-faring son sings the title song in a romantically robust tenor that brought down the house. As the mother of the unfortunale girl Augusta Merihi is magnificently maternal, and Sig Arno registers well as a seasick ferry boat captain.

The singing ensemble and orchestra undpr the direction of Pembroke Davenport performed ably well. In closing, it would be unfair not to mention the dancers who interpreted the sparkling choreography of Eugpne Loring, and the facile settings of Jo Meil-zlner.

This third production of the Civic Light Opera is the sort of musical that sends you home a lot happier tthan when you went in and what more could anyone ask than that? It is heart-warming, it is poign-Int, it is picturesque, it is quaint, and it is funny, light-hearted and gay.

Much of the success of the current production is due to artistic discernment of producer Edwin Lester. Several of the scenes have been rewritten, and he has heavily accented the bal-lpt sequences in addition to peopling the show with a well nigh perfect cast. Albert Marre has staged all of this with broadly sweeping theatrical intelligence. The book is by S. N.

Bchrman and Joshua Logan based on a trilogy of plays by Marcel Pagnol with music and lyrics by Harold Rome. The story tells of a young French girl who learns she is to bear the child of a lover gone to sea, and in order to give her child a name, and to avoid scandal marries a wealthy suitor. These elements at no time be-come sordid because the suitor, the girl's mother, and the boy's father are all Informed of the situation and they accept it with a compassionate fatality that is never mawkish or overly sent! mental. One of the most gripping scenes takes place when the boy is 12 years old and has occasion to meet his father, never suspecting who he is. The dialog throughout is superior and the characterizations well -constructed.

Romes lyrics are perfectly geared to the vehicle at hand, and his music runs the gamut from the melodic to the novel with taste and charm.

Only one program will not have the addition of a pas de deux: The second program opening on Thursday, Aug. 29, when the greatest of all classic ballets Giselle will be presented In the full two acts with prima ballerina Nora Kaye and Erik Bruhn In the leading roles. By LEN BOYD An old Universal Studio payroll ledger found by makeup man Jack Kevan and which lists the weekly salary of the late Lon Chaney and a host of other stars of the day, has been presented by Kevan to James Cagney, star of Man of a Thousand Faces at, Hollywood Paramount While Cagney would like to retain the ledger as a memento of the picture, he believes It is so valuable a record of Hollywoods early days that he has decided to present it to the library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The ledger, written In copperplate longhand, reveals that during 1914-15 Chaney worked for a top salary of $50 a week, for which he appeared in 52 pic tures, starring in some, directed six thiee-reelers and wrote seseral scenarios.

Chaney's small salary was not unique in early Hollywood. Louise Fazenda, for example, is listed at $30 a week, and she was rated one of the top comediennes of her day. Wallace Reid, later to become ihe silent screen's matinee idol, is down for $100 a week, while glamour girl Louise Glaum earned $60. The late Herbert Rawlinson earned $75 a week In 1914, but jumped to $125 the next year. In the higher brackets was Francis Ford, brother of director John Ford and still active.

His weekly earnings were $175 a week. Highest paid actor at Universal in those years was J. Warren Kerrigan, who earned $300 a week in 1914 and rose to $500 in 1915. Highest salaried actress on the payroll was Lois Weber, at $200 a week, while Pauline Bush is down for $100. Robert Z.

Leonard, now a director, but then an actor, earned $200 a week, which put him among the big names of the day. At Christfe, a diiector of was a $200 a week man, while Frank Lloyd, who became one of Hollywoods leading directors, earned but $60 a week in 1914. Therp's an entry reading: J. Holt, $17.50. This was the beginning of Jack Holt's career as an actor.
