When most people think of per gonal services, they think of beau ty parlors!, medical clinics and hospitals, Vdrommuter trains, gas, electricity phones and the repsir men that ours a growing array of appliances. But personal services go far be yond that, important as is the role of the above items in today's way of living, ' There 1 someone to furnish arti ficial snow for ski runs when na ture doesn't, and to keep city rinks iced when the temperature soars, t Others will take over all or part of entertainment problems, man age money, decorate or clean the home, teach almost any kind of game, ' help toward the social graces, rent a csr or a washing machine, or insure against the chance your heart will give out before the payments on your in talmentr'dpht do.

Status Cot Randall A Room In Female Stars' Building By BOB THOMAS AP Movle-TV Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) If yon really want to know how Tony Randall happened to get a dress ing room in the female start' building at MGM, he'll tell you. "it's status," the actor sighs. "Very Important thing in this town, status." Randall's quarters are in the hallowed halls that once housed (larbo, Crawford, Garson. Uar land, Allyson, Gardner, etc. His apartment is cotily adjacent to those of Lana Turner and Doris Day. "It's a housing jam," he ex planed over saner brum and noo dles in the studio commissary. "They couldn't lit me into the male stars' building." As a matter of fact, Randall said with, a shudder, the studio tried to- house him in the featured players" building when he report ed for work with Kim Novak and James Garner in "Boys' Night Out " "Kor three whole dsys 1 could not ao-to mv own dressing room," he taid. "1 had to bold out for another one. Status. Randall explained the divisions of dressing rooms: l. Actors a plain room, no bathroom, 1. Featured players A room, dressing room and bathroom but no shower. 3. Stsrs A handsomely decorat ed suite complete with shower. "But there are degrees of star dressing rooms, too," Randall added. "Do you have a bar in your dressing room'' Further, does the studio stork it with liquor? Do you have a refrigera torwith ice? "An actor must consider these things. So you end up demanding things you don't even want, all because ot status." He went on to explain that rou tine actors must dress in their permanent' dressing rooms and walk to the set. featured players are housed in trailers outside the shooting ttaxe. Stsrs have four walled rooms right on the stsge. to they have only to walk a few steps to the scene. Superstars like Doris Day and Rock Hudson, with whom Randall stars in "Lover Come Back." have massive trailers on the set Both Randall and his agent. Aboy Greshner, agree that his room in the female start' budd ing is suitable to his status. It allows him all the privileges of the male stars' building "except Ihat I can't walk around the halls nude." 388 POUND Wisconsin Cheddar WHEEL! 2 YEARS OLD!
