LIFT EMERGENCY RULES
CAPE TOWN, South Africa—
The South African government
has lifted emergency regula-
tions in 20 rural districts for
the first time since they were
imposed in the midst of March
racial violence. The announce
ment was believed to be the
first in a' series which would
end the state of emergency
throughout the country, except
in areas where 1,800 persons
are being held in jail.
THAT'S SHOW BUSINESS!
This Stunt Wasn’t Planned
BY DICK WILLIAMS
It happened during the fa-
mous laundry scene of Broad-
way’s comedy hit, “Mr Rob-
erts.’’ David Wayne was wait-
ing off-stage for his cue. When
it came, he was to open a door
and burst on stage covered with
soap suds. It was one of the
show’s biggest laugh-getters.
The cue came. David grab-
bed the door handle, but it did-
n’t open. The cue came again.
The door still wouldn’t open.
Ad-libbing quickly to Henry
Fonda who was on stage, David
called, “Mr. Roberts! Mr. Rob-
erts!” But Fonda couldn’t hear
him.
In desperate frustration, he
bellowed out, “Hey Hank!” Still
no answer.
Wayne yanked with all his
might. The door came off its
frame, and as it crashed down,
Wayne, covered with soap suds,
skidded, fell and slid across the
stage into the wings on the op-
posite side. The audience roar-
ed appreciatively, assuming the
stunt part of the show.
After the performance,
Wayne irritatedly checked the
door. Someone had locked it
so it wouldn’t open! But the
prankster knew when to leave
well enough alone. He never
revealed himself!
PARKING LOT WAYS
When a Hollywood star tosses
a major private party in his
home, he usually hires several
boys to park the guests’ cars.
It simply is too dreadfully gau-
che—square—call "it what you
Rubber Proves
Tasty As Bait
Using artificial bait, James
Gregory, of Tappahannock just
couldn’t get the fish to bite.
His fishing companion, Miss
Gladys Gaulding, noticed a big
school of striped bass striking
on the surface and decided to
try something else. She tore
up a foam rubber cushion, put
hunks of it on her hook, and
caught several bass in quick
succession.
Gregory continued to use the
artificial bait and caught noth-
ing.

will — to let celebrities suffer
the ignominy of parking their
own.
But as a transplanted New
Yorker, unaccustomed to Holly-
wood ways, Carl Reiner lifted
his eyebrows when he drove up
to Steve Allen’s housewarming
party. A young man in a white
coat opened his car door, hand-
ed him a numbered ticket and
told him, “I’ll park it, sir.”
Instead of pocketing the park-
ing ticket in blase Hollywood
style, he marched straight up
to host Steve and straight-
faced asked:
‘Will you please validate this
for me?”

ROMERO MINUS MUSTACHE
Charlie Chaplin’s hat and
cane and Harold Lloyd’s horn-
rimmed glasses were trade-
marks of their comedy charac-
terizations in early Hollywood
films. But few present-day
stars have a personal feature so
thoroughly identified with their
screen roles. One of the excep-
tions is Cesar Romero with his
familiar, dapper mustache.
Producer-director Lewis Mile-
stone wanted the pair (Romero
and his mustache) for the role
of Ilka Chase’s racketeer-play-
boy fiance in “Ocean’s Eleven.”
But when Romero showed up
on the set for the first days
shooting, Milstone was aghast.
Romero’s lip-adornment was
missing. He had shaved it off
for the first time in 26 years
to play the role of a priest in
“Saint Mike” (tentative title)
It was essential that Romero
have a mustache for “Ocean’s,
so he was given an assist by
the makepup man until his own
growth reached its original
length.
If you look closely when the
picture is released you will be
able to discern the dual nature
of Romero’s mustache — the
real hair and the artist’s handi-
work.

Disease Victim
Fulfills Hope,
Enters Science
BOSTON, Mass. — Seventeen
years ago, William Reddy, of
Boston, made a promise to him-
self. He refused to let anything
prevent him from keeping it,
even muscular dystrophy.
In 1943, when he was just
out of high school, Reddy went
to a hospital for observation.
He told doctors he was having
difficulty in walking. Physi-
cians found out why: He was a
victim of progressive muscular
dystrophy.
During his confinement, Red-
dy became fascinated with med-
ical science. He vowed he
would become a doctor.
After 'getting through Harv-
ard University, at Cambridge,
Mass., with scholarships, loans,
and a part-time job, he was
graduated in 1949 with good
grades.
Five years later, his illness
advanced so much that a wheel-
chair became necessary. He
still uses it to get about.
But Reddy did not change
any of his plans. In 1955, he
married a nurse, Elizabeth En-
aire, of Rochester, N. H.
Recently, 33-year-old Reddy
fulfilled his own promise. He
was appointed a doctor in hy-
giene at the Harvard School of
Public Health. Moreover, he
is director of the metabolic re-
search laboratory at Peter Bent
Brigham Hospital.
SCIENCE FICTION—“The Mysterians”, a new
release in Cinemascope and Eastman Color, concerns
an alien race whose planet is destroyed and who are
determined to take over the earth. In this scene, the
forces of the Mysterians pit a giant robot, spacemen
and flying saucers against the flying ray guns, tanks
and multi-stage rockets.
FIREMEN RESCUE
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Mrs.
Rose Marie Sabo’s pet cockatoo
flew out of a window and into
a tree. Mrs. Sabo climbed aft-
er it.
The cockatoo climbed higher.
So did Mrs. Sabo.
Finally she found herself
stranded above the reach of
neighbors’ ladders and some-
one called the fire department.
Firemen removed Mrs. Sa-
bo and the bird.
AMERICAN TO ADOPT
UNWANTED INFANT
NEW YORK CITY — So that
she can adopt an unwanted
baby boy, Mrs. Gladys Simon,
of New York City, will spend
the next six months in Great
Britain. It will take that long
to comply with formalities.
Mrs. Simon flew to London
and took custody of the newly
born son of Mrs. Yvonne Moore,
39, who offered the baby for
adoption because, she said, she
is too old to begin rearing a
family.
Mrs. Simon was born in
England but has lived many
years in the United States.

‘Victim’ of Fire Turns Up Alive
CAP CHAT, Quebec — Fire
destroyed the Emilien Lajoie
farm house near Cap Chat. Two
of the Lajoie children were res-
cued and hospitalized with seri-
ous injuries. The bodies of
two other children were found
in the debris. Although Mr.
and Mrs. Lajoie were not found,
it was assumed they also had
died in the blaze.
The assumption had to be
revised, however. Lajoie walked
out of the woods and into Cap
Chat the day before his funeral
was to have been conducted.
The farmer would not explain
what had happened, so police
are holding him as a material
witness. Deciding they would
take nothing for granted again,
the autorities listed Mrs. Lajoie
as missing instead of dead and
cancelled plans for her funeral.

MOUNT VERNON, 111. — Dr.
