She tried to get him by telephone but. couldn't reach him. The plane was hours and he had to tell Taramount that if Vera didn't get in by five o'clock he couldn't wait any longer because it was his birthday and be was having the stomach of the bird.

Suddenly the stomach swells up sad the hen screams. This is indeed an outrage of chickens' rights, as it were," says Imalzumi. "I asked the woman in charge 'Why do you do such niran She explained to me: 'Our primary objective is not to raise chickens, but to get eggs We do not care about tne wm of hen3 "We can never approve of such a way of thinking" in Japan, concludes Imalzumi.

writes in a newspaper article he saw a food pip ethrust into a chicken's stomach. "An operator steps on a pedal and one portion of food is sent into roles, and she feels she is ready for them. Her luck was good. On her first night here, she had a blind date with Bill Hollingsworth. wealthy leal estate man.

She also landed an MOM contract under her real Elaine Sterling. She was more interested in Hollingsworth and was dropped by the studio after six months. She married him and became oertlBDS the only Hoi- ly wood starlet who lived like a btar. i saw ner in ineir impressive occupy the prime, spot on tejevi-Hldden Valley home, which has I Si0n the Sunday mid-evening tennis court, huge swimming pool hour when most falks are gathered and a long view of the Santa around their sets.

I asked her yet given quarter, why on earth she would want to I Last year, The Comedy Hour had For Role Of Rugged 1 first heard tnat Kaipn MeeKer was set to star in the new Mickey Splllane blood-and-thunder, "Miss Me Deadly," my Initial reactlo was that I couldn't think of a less likely choice to play Mike Ham -mer. Ralph is so unlike the hard-boiled detective always surrounded by blondes, blondes, blondes. But producer director Robert Aldrich soon changed my mind. "Meeker will be great," he told me. "After his big hit in 'Picnic on Broadway, he's proved that he can play any role he's handed." Okay, Robert 111 admit I lvoed 'Picnic." Now, as is always the case in filming Spillane's salty books, the next problem is to find four actresses torrid enough to fit the quartet of leading roles.

Kim Novak, Columbia's find of any year, could have been sold to MGM for five times her original contract but Columbia wouldn't sell her for 50 times that amount. She'll be the next big star, mark my words. And, by the way, that reminds me the report that Kim was having a case of nerves on location for "Five Against The House" at Reno is not true. She came in Friday night, from a personal appearance tour and had to leave Saturday without seeing the script. "All I ask," said Phil Carlson, her director, "is that she have no visitors until she rests and learns her lines." MOM'S Idea was to convert Kim into another Harlow.

They would liked to have starred her in Jean's old pictures. One of the talent scouts at MGM happened to see Audrey Conte on "What's My Line," the TV show. He contacted her and asked her to come to MGM. Her reading was so impressive that the studio will test her for a contract. If you saw her on this show you may recall that she is the girl who stumped the panel be -cause they couldn't guess her line-v hich is that of a hostess in an Eastern brewery.

What is important about this story is that it looks as if Audrey will get a contract. Pretty brown eyecf, blonde Car oline Scott, 21 year old daughter of Abe Olman, vice president of the music publishing firm of Robbins Feist and Miller, will make her screen debut in "Daddy Long Legs" for 20th Century Fox as one of Leslie Caron's college friends. Caroline has three seasons of summer stock ip the east and this week she mp.fie her TV debut with Richard Carlson in "I Led Three Lives." She is a very capable young actress and her ma and pa are very proud of her. There was certainly a mix up in Vera Ellen's arrival from Okla -noma City.

Anyway, one morning a move trade paper fentllrorl a nin.nn nnu nf hr from the waist. An ad in the other trade paper her assets from the waist down. Put them both together and you got a lovely gal.

The stunt was hailed as the greatest sever-1 ance play since Orson Welles sawed Rita Havworth in half dur- his maelc show.

Sara had of- 2ers from several studios and signed with U-I because it offers the best training for young hope- -ll8. Sara's career fizzled out after a year at U-I and she was dropped. "Now I realize my mistake," she says. I did the whole thing back-. wards.

I should have gotten a firm foundation as an actress, and then gone after the publicity buildup. The stunt developed my name to the point where I should have been doing star roles. But I wasn't ready for them." She has taken steps to remedy that situation. She has been having dramatic lessons five hours a day. six days a week for several months.
