He is handsome, has ink- black hair, and is 5 feet, 10 inches tall. He also is cocky as they come and has a gift, which Hollywood esteems, for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Tony, who gets rapturous hoots and hollers from the young set every time he appears any place In person, can hardly believe it. "Man," he told me at lunch eon, "this stuff is crazy. The red carpet, yet." Tony Curtis, whose real name is Bernard Schwartz, was born in a Hell's Kitchen tenement. His father. Mono Schwartz, had been an actor in Budapest. He crossed the water to make a fortune but somehow didn't. He took up tail oring. His son took up street fight ing. By the time he was 11, he belonged to some of the toughest kid gangs on Manhattan island. But all that was changed by the time Tony was 12. He be came a Boy Scout and learned how to tie a knot or pitch a tent with the best of them. That was the year a man named Paul Schwartz no kin took a hand. Paul received Tony in what was called the Jones Memorial settlement house. Paul was a man who knew how to take the chips off the shoulders of the very young. He showed Tony the error of his ways. Tony learned fast. He decided to quit the streets and complete his education. He went to high school, but World War II Inter rupted that. After serving aboard a sub marine and getting himself hurt pretty bad, he came back to fin ish his education. He finished high school and decided to take advantage of the GI bill of rights. 23 New Judges Given Approval Washington (IP) The House Judiciary Committee Thursday approved an omnibus bill pro viding for the creation of 23 new federal judgeships.
