Our Film Folk
BY HERBERT G. LUFT
(Copyright 1963—JTA)
Thursday, July 25, 1963 Texas Jewish Post Dallas-Page 3 and film director Mark Robson
have moved their company on
MGM’s “The Prize” for location
work involving a dramatic chase
to the dock area of San Pedro
south of Los Angeles. Edward G
Robinson, who looks a bit like
Ernest Hemingway with his grey-
ish beard, was at hand, together
with co-stars Paul Newman and
Elke Sommer, the latter the
most recent import from Ger-
many after graduating from Carl
Foreman’s World War II epic
“The Victors” in England —a
nicture which Miss Sommer la'
beled to me as anti-Nazi, but
not anti-German.
Traveling Exhibits — Cultural Self-Help
HOLLYWOOD — Jules C
Stein, founder and chairman of
the board of the Music Corpora-
tion of America—the world’s
largest talent agency — recently
officiated at the “Golden Rivet’
ground breaking ceremony of
the new Universal City Plaza at
Universal City, where studio op-
erations for both feature films
and television new are controll-
ed by the MCA group.
“In March of 1915,” Stein de-
clared in his speech, “Carl Lae-
mmle accepted a golden key
from a city official to unlock
the gates of Universal City. At
that time it was Laemmle’s goal
to build facilities to manufacture
every conceivable type of pic-
ture.”
Today, 48 years later, Jules
Stein is initiating the first ma-
jor expansion of motion picture
and TV production facilities by
building Universal City into the
most modern and comjdete pro-
duction center in the world.
Folio wing Stein’s remarks and
"the introduction of honored
guests by MC Jack Benny, the
chairman of MCA placed a gold-
en rivet in a steel girder. He was
assisted in this symbolic gesture
by L. A. County Supervisor War-
ren M. Dorn; Lew Wasserman
president of the Music Corpora-
tion of America : and Milton R
Kackmil, vice-chairman of the
company’s board, and president
of Decca Records and Universal
Pictures. More than 200 film in-
dustry, business and civic lead-
ers witnessed the ceremony.

fixion of Jesus regarded by him

ment of the ‘Sunset Strip” tele-
vision series. He and his beau-
tiful new wife then fly over ifl
Yugoslavia for his starring rol«
in a picture to be photographed
in Belgrade by a French movit
company.
Nehemiah Persoff, another ol
the “good” High Priests in the
George Stevens Production of
“The Greatest Story Ever Told,’
also (ig dropping his Biblical
posture, to portray the United
Nations Undersecretary ( a fic-
tional characer) in Hall Bart-
lett’s comedy-drama “A Global
Affair,” which shows truth in
the disguise of a farce, with
Bob Hope heading the cast.

LEADING MATHAMATICIAN
RUDOLF LIPSCHITZ, a nine-
teenth century German Jewish

leading pioneers in pure and ap-
plied mathematics. His major
contributions were in the fields
of theory of functions and ad-
vanced analytics. (JTA)

NEW YEAR GREETINGS
Kirk Douglas was ill at ease
in his first comedy role in fif-
teen years in motion pictures
“For Love or Money,” portraying
a playboy lawyer opposite Mitzi
Gaynor, Julie New mar and Leslie
Parish with Gig Young as the
rival. The flimiscal original yarn
by Larry Markes and Michael
Morris didn’t lend itself to the
talents of the star, and the work
of the production-directing team
of Robert Arthur and Michael
Gordon could not add anything
new to the cliche’ story.

THE HIGH HOLY DAY ISSUE OF THE TEXAS JEWISH POST OFFERS AN AP-
PROPRIATE, CONVENIENT AND INEXPENSIVE MEANS OF EXTENDING YOUR
NEW YEAR GREETINGS TO ALL RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WITHOUT NEG-
LECTING OR OFFENDING ANYONE.
Douglas is always interesting
in serious roles, such as the one
of the American officer in the
recent Perlberg-Seaton epic
“The Hook;” or the killer in mul-
tiple disguises in John Huston's
rather involved extravanganza
‘The List of Adrian Messenger.’
Steward Stern, author of the
screen plays to “Teresa” and
the “The Ugly American,” hay
been signed as associate produc
er to Sy Bartlett for “A Taste of
Glory” at Paramount. Beside*
assuming his first production
chores. Stern also will deve-
lop Bartlett’s original yarn.
The Mirisch production of
“The Great Escape” was loudly
applauded recently at the Mos-
cow International Film Festival
where the screening of the anti-
Nazi picture took place in the
Great Congress Hall of the
Kremlin. The movie reviewer of
Tass, however, was far from en-
thusiastic, criticizing the com-
pletely unrealistic, gentlemen-
like relationship o!? the German
officers and their British and A
merican captives on the screen
