George Gobel.
By HARRY WINKLER
Written for The United Press
Hollywood (U.R) On July
12, 1954, I was a production
planner at an automobile factory
in Richmond, Calif. I had been a
political science major at the
University of Chicago and the
only professional job of writing
I had held down was briefly for
an encyclopedia company.
Only July 13, 1954, 1 was writ
ing for the George Gobel tele
vision show.
I had an office at the glamor
ous pastel blue NBC building in
Hollywood; I could get a table at
the Brown Derby; I was part of
the fast-moving world of show
business.
People often ask how I came
to make this abrupt and unusual
switch.
Various Jobs
In the winter of 1948 I was
studying political science for a
doctor's degree after my release
from the army. I had decided
to specialize in international re
lations with a view towards
either teaching or entering gov
ernment service. I had graduated
from the university in 1937 and
had wandered through various
jobs such as a factory helper.
One evening I was lured to
Helsings Lounge in Chicago by
my brother-in-law, Edward Fink
elberg, who somehow had the
notion that I could write for the
comedian entertaining there. The
comedian was George Gobel, and
his performance overwhelmed
me.
I remember the first story. he
told was the "hub cap" routine.
It impressed me as a gem in the
tradition )f American humor.
My brother-in-law introduced me
to George as a prospective writ
er, and George, with his usual
gentle tolerance, encouraged me
to submit my works.
Between my studies, I began
to write humorous bits for
George. My knowledge of this
kind of writing was less than
elementary, and my first efforts
showed as much. After a few
months I finally turned out a
story George liked. He encour
aged me to travel with him when
ever he had club dates in Chi
cago. After a while I got to
learn his routines and, more im
portant, his approach to humor.
I stayed with my college work
until . 1951 but my dubious en
thusiasm for the academic world
had diminished. My wife' and I
migrated to Berkeley where I
worked first as an order service
supervisor at a cable corpora
tion. I continued to submit ma
terial to George. When he ap
peared" on the Saturday Night
Reviejy in 1952 on NBC, I was
gratified .that several 'of the
monologues he did were written
by me.
In July of 1954 David O'Mal
leyl George's manager, invited
me to move to Los Angeles to
work on material for the forth
coming Gobel TV show. I have
been here since. Some day, be
tween shows, I may yet write
my doctoral thesis for the Uni
versity of Chicago. Proposed
subject: "George Gobel looks at
the fiscal structure of Iran."
Tamara Sought
For Bad Checks
Los Angeles (U.R) Mrs.
Tamara Adele Rees Courtland,
former Army paratrooper who
claimed surgery changed her into
a woman, was sought by police
today on suspicion of passing bad
checks. A police all-points bulle
tin described the ex-GI as "male
or female."
Police sent out the bulletin for
Mrs. Rees last night, shortly be
fore she made her final appear
ance at the Hollywood Burlesque
Theater in San Diego. The ex-GI,
who lectures at burlesque houses
on psychology, was believed
headed for Los Angeles.
Detectives George W. Smith
and Gerald E. Wright said more
than 20 checks allegedly written
by Mrs. Rees had bounced in
markets and hotels, including one
in San Francisco. One check was
for $92, they said.
The ex-GI married hair stylist
J. E. Courtland III in Sacra
mento, Calif., last month, while
she was lecturing at a Sacra
mento burlesque theater.
The police bulletin described
the former paratrooper as "male
or female, white American, 30,
5 ft., 6 in., 120 pounds and
dressed like a woman."
The bulletin also said the sus
pect's result or purported opera
tion performed to change sex . ."
Malheur Property Suits Filed at Yale
Vale (U.R) Pacinc Northwest
Pipeline Corporation . has filed
condemnation suits against three
properties north of Ontario.
The suits were brought against
the landowners in Malheur Coun
ty Cirpuit Court here yesterday.
The company asserted that the
property owners involved could
not agree on a price for a pipe
line right-of-way, and esked an
assessment of company damages
to the land so that a price might
be set.
A company spokesman said
work on laying of a natural gas
pipeline between Ontario and
Hermiston was held up 30 days
by the landowners.
