Denying everything, Harrlman (right), called It "slander." (International) Around Hollywood By ALINI MOSBV -United Prat Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Television's fall season so far has produced one bright new star, comedian George Gobel, but he's still in a state of shock that the audi ence laugh e d so hard at his jokes. Gobel two years ago was one of those "new faces" on a summer re- AllneMoibr placement show, and this fall NBC launch ed him on a program by himself. On this George announces, "Well, this is the show," and then wanders from set to set with a vagueness and mild, slow humor that brought rave re views from the critics, carloads of mail from fans and telegrams from the big bosses in New York. Still Fools Insecure But despite his new fame I found the 34-year-old Gobel star ing' sadly into a martini at the Brown Derby and sighing, "I still don't feel secure. "Just because you've done four shows you can't decide that's the answer," he said. "I had talked myself into not expecting too much from the first few programs! So had the director, Hal Kantor. He had me say these lines, such as "Now we'll walk to the next set," and we never dreamed they'd' get a laugh. But they did. "That was the biggest sur prise that people laughed at , those lines. It's amazing.-; You come - up,wtth ! a,, show-jthat is. honest, and people think you're being funny. ' "I am trying to get people used to the fact you don't have to be hilarious." Eight years ago, Gobel was an unknown grocer's son from Chicago who told jokes in night clubs and conventions around the country. He got his show business start singing and play ing the guitar on the radio, "as a boy sopranoi" ; i . Formed Trio After high school he formed a trio that entertained in cock tail lounges. i ?1 &utftUWtVtA fax Windshields curved & Flat Window Glass Plate Glass Insurance Claims ' Accepted for All .

Two years ago an NBC talent scout caught his act at the Statler hotel here and signed him. . "I was doing fine in clubs," he drawled. "I thought if I could only keep those jobs I could re tire in five years." ; Now Gobel, his wife, Alice a childhood sweetheart, and their two children live in the prover bial house-with - swimming - pool in the the San Fernando Valley. "I don't want to prove I'm the greatest thing that ever hit TV," he said. "I just want to go along, steady-like." Zoological Casting Office Locates . Stage Struck Animals for Employment New York (U.R) Employ. ment prospects are good for elephants and ' donkeys these days,, thanks to the political campaigns, but Fred "Birkner is thinking ahead to Christmas. His employment agency will be in terviewing reindeer then. ' Birkner operates the Chateau Riding Academy,1 which has out grown its name in the past few years and has . become New York's principal clearing house for stage-struck animals. Animal Jobs Found He has found jobs for dogs, antelopes, elephants, racoons, zebras, skunks, lions, alligators and trained and untrained fleas. He has placed a goat in "Mr. Roberts," a dog in "The King of Hearts," and a horse In Metro politan Opera production of "Carmen." 1 , "Around this time of year I'm kept pretty busy, supplying donk eys to, the Democrats and ele phants to the Republicans," Birkner said at his zoological casting office. "Turkeys go big around Thanksgiving, reindeer at Christmas and groundhogs in February." The Popular Penguin And for some reason, he add ed, there are always several class for penquins on New Year's Day. Birkner's riding academy used to cater chiefly to eques trians who wanted to jog over the bridle paths of Central Park. Now renting horses is almost a sideline. . As We Live What Should Wife Do i About Mother-In-Law? - No woman should put up with insults from her mother-in-law. The woman who wrote the fol lowing letter apparently has mis interpreted what I said on this subject in a recent column. She writes: (Q) "I disagroo with tho ad vice you gave a young wifo who said that her mother-in. law lived with them and made life wretched for her by her insults. You told her to try to live harmoniously with hor mother-in-law. I wonder if you know what you are talking about. Sho should leave hox husband until ho' comes to some decision regarding his molhfcr.

Do you think for ono blessed momoni any marriage . will hold If a wife has to put up with insults from hor mother-in-law? No lore is so strong that liring with a mother-in-law of that kind won't kill it. He should tell his mother to keep her placa or giro his wifo a separation. Sho should not be told to keep suffering." (A) I never meant to advise any wife to take insults from her mother-in-law. However, there are times when a wife must ac cept conditions not to her lik ing because fi nancial and loyalty motives enter into the picture. No man should be sywi, t nnd turn his moth- Dr. Hurloek er out on tne streets. If he is unable to pay for her support elsewhere and if she has no other means of support, he must provide a home for her. No wife could expect her husband not to do this for his mother. As for the insults, no mother who is being supported by her son and given a home in his house should insult her son's wife. If. the wife does not try to get along with her mother-in-law, however, or if she shows plainly that she resents having her in their home, a mother-in-law cannot, in turn, be expected to feel kindly toward her daughter-in-law. It always takes two to make a quarrel. The wife in most cases is partially to blame for friction with her mother-in-hiw., If she sincerely loves her husband, she will do everything within her power to be on friendly terms with his mother, even if it means swallowing her pride. She could not walk out and leave her hus band if she felt he were blame less in this matter.- (Copyright 1954, General Features Corp.) ALWAYS TIRED?

Birkner said most creatures are patient performers but von one occasion the act got out of hand. This involved a large jar of fleas needed for a show that had better go unidentified. Somehow , or other,: as those things always happen, the lid was taken off the jar before the show began., The fleas dispersed into the theater.'
