Decatur, Illinois, Sunday, August 2, 1939. DECATUR SUNDAY HERALD AND REVIEW 42 TV Key College Found Dialect Aided Actor Weaver in Landing 'Chester Role Program Previews its first showing. 6:30. p. m.

By Jams Bacon Of The Associated Press Hollywood, Aug. 1 Bfng Crosby was lounging in his dressing room not long ago, when the director called rehearsal. "Coming, Mr. Dillon," replied Bing in a twang so unmistakable that it broke up everybody on the set. Bing is a member of that vast army of Chester imitators.

Chester of is Dennis Weaver, the co-star with James Amess on "Gunsmoke," TV's perennial top-rate show. And Chester's twang is the favorite kidding-around dialect among such Hollywood names as Crosby, Frank- Sinatra and' Dean Martin. In person, Dennis does not talk like Chester. "When I was at the University of Oklahoma," he savs, there was some guy there who came from one of those lost counties in the state who talked exactly like Chester. I used to mimic him at parties and it ways went over Dig.

"When I went to New York to study at the actor's studio, I could break 'up the subway just by going into that dialect. But it was accidental how he came use it on "Gunsmoke." When Weaver was asked to test for the TV series, he thought he was up for the part of Mu-shal Matt Dillon. "I figured Chester was for someone like Oabbv Haves or Sunday's 3 it: cva ft 5 ll.nn-W'V'-.X-l. 4 'I MHHM Chester's Ltg Isn't Really Stiff Sunday's Television Ch 17. WTVP.

"Fete for Four Choice recital bv duo-pianists Vera Brodsky and Harold 1 nges. After an informa tive commentary by Jim MacAn- drew on the history of two-piano music, the artists perform works bv Bach, Dcbussv, Chopin, and Triggs himself, transcribed es pecially for this medium. 10:30 a.m.WCIA. TWENTIETH CENTURY. "The Face of Crime." (Repeat) Part II of this remarkable film is shot behind the walls of a New Jersey prison.

Much of it is de voted to prison "bull sessions" where remarks from the inmates like "My father says he hopes thev send me home in a box" and "The only time society is interested is when they're thrown in jail themselves," illustrate the need for more trained psychia trists and social workers in our penal institutions. 5:30 p. WOA. CHET HUNTLEY RE PORTING. "Steel Town." Huntley looks at Can', Indiana, (steel town) in the quiet grip of the current strike.

Against a background of loan companies willing to extend credit, pickets playing cards and lis tening to TV and talking about fishing. A vivid contrast is of fered to the conditions surround ing the Memorial Day massacre of 1937 (described by two vet erans of that strike). Over-all picture of the program seems to refute the old "class warfare" premise in his era of labor-management relations. 5:30 p. m.

WICS. SUSPICION. "Protege." (Repeat) Outstanding suspense drama with theatrical flavor, and a brilliant tour de force for Agnes Moorehead playing an ex-Broadway star struggling to make a comeback despite the inroads of alcoholism. Her career plans suf fer a severe jolt when her pro tege gets carried awav bv her new ambition, supporting cast, headed by Phyllis- Love, William Shatner and Jack Klugman, is exceptionally good, and production and camera work are in the best Hollywood tradition. Richard Berg's play is way above average for this series.

Definitely worth seeing if you missed 11:43 AM- 1:00 PM Daily "MIDDAY" with Joe Williams WSOY AMFM WICS, KSD. MAVERICK. "Duel at Sun down." (Repeat) As usual, an entertaining hour. Bret Maverick visits an old friend and finds himself in the role of prospective suitor of the man's daugh ter. Next thing he knows, he's challenged to a shoct-out by a bad young man who's sweet on the girl.

Gamer, as Bret, is in good form, and Abby Dalton, a young and lively troublemaker, should please fans of the series, 6:30 p. m. WTVP. ED SULLIVAN A wide variety of song styles, comic rou tines and novelty acts comprise the show. star Roberta Peters is a standout singing "Laughing Song" from "Die Fledermaus," while The Platters take to "Dark Town Strutters Ball" and "Remember When' and Jill Corey turns on "I Want to Be Loved" and "Bye Bye Blackbird." Shelley Berman and his telephone, Rickie Lavne and his puppet Velvel, and Dewey Markham and shorty take over the comedy, and an assortment of bits include the i i I Brothers with bells on their ankles, plus jugglers, plate spinners, etc.

7 p. m. WCIA. G. E.

THEATRE. "One Is a (Repeat) Super ior teleplay from this generally routine series. A beautifully act-edj written, and directed por trait ot loneliness stars rred Mac-Murray as a divorced man with no place to go on a Sunday. It's bound to strike a responsive chord if you've ever been lonely (and who and may even bring on some moments of depression, but it's excellent dra matic entertainment. In addition to MacMurrav's fine perform ance, there's a perfect characterization bv Jeanne Shelley of a girl who "prefers" to live alone.

PHONE 4012 FOR APPOINTMENT! 125 East Main Street LOAN gi I thought about that old dialect Next day I read it with my dia lect and the director tupped. The limp is deliberate with the 6 foot 2 former track star. 1 "I decided to walk stiff leg ged," he says, "else we would have had two leading men types in the series. It kind ot makes me an underdog because when people see me pick up a rifle, they know Mr. Dillon is really in trouble.

Before Weaver hit in "Gunsmoke," he had played important roles in some 20 movies, fcarher. he had studied with Lee Stras-berg at the Actor's Studio, tour ed with Shirley Booth and Sid ney Blackmer in Come Back, Little Sheba." And played Marlon Brando's role in one of the companies of "Streetcar Named Desire. He has just completed a co- starring part with James Cagney in "The Gallant Hours," the storv' of Fleet Admiral William (Bull) Halsey. He plays a part based on the naval career of James Bassett, assistant managing editor of the Los Angeles Mirror-News, who was Halsey's public relations oiticer in the Pacific. Only Chester "Somehow the TV audiences never think of me as Dennis he says, "only as Chester." When he travels; he is be sieged by fans w-ho only want him to say one thinfj "Mr.

UiHon. "Evcrvbodv else gets asked for autographs," he says, "with me, it just talk. His private life is pretty much tied up with his wife and three sons, little league and health foods. Dennis is a strict vegetarian. "I started it three years ago when I read some articles about hormone injections to make cattle fat.

Now I eat organically grown vegetables all the time and never felt better." He also gave up smoking and drinking at the same time. But he explains: "Oh, I'll take an occasional drink now and then like the night I won an Emmy just to keep me from becoming a complete fanatic." The vegetarian diet has proved embarrassing on several occasions. "Everytime I appear in Texas or Kansas, someone wants to throw a barbecue for me." TENT CITY ATTRACTS STATE FAIR CAMPERS Illinois State Fair visitors will again find inexpensive accommo dations at the exposition's Tent Citv. The wooded area in the south west section of the fair site has served more than 4,000 campers annually. Families with their own tents mav rent suitable space for a dollar a night.

The area is plotted with allowance for fire, lanes, it is well-lighted and there is po lice protection, fair othcials said. For those families without camping equipment, a local tent company will be on hand to rent tents, cots and ether equipment. The human body contains enough phosphorus to make 000 matches.
