I SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Gloria Swanson Opens Eyes in Time to Find Maurice Chevalier With Scissors ' Br GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Press Paris (U.R) I was sitting in a barber chair in a men's bar ber shop on the Avenue George V with my eyes closed and en joying every minute of it. What a pleasure to sit between two si lent men instead of in one of those awful beauty porlors that sound like an aviary of chirping birds an electric torture cham ber! And what a surprise when I opened my eyes after 40 winks and found Maurice Chevalier with a strand of my hair in one hand and the scissors in an other! I have changed my' hair do, and hence my disposition, by wearing my hair very short, thereby escaping that awful nu isance of putting up my hair in curlers every day. So now when ever I arrive in Paris I make a !eeline for my son-in-law's bar ber, who also happens to be Chevalier's. After amusing the customers with our antics, my old favor ite and friend Maurice invited me to lunch the following day st his villa at St. Cloud. Meets Old Friends What nip-ups my memory did when I arrived there and found Florence Walton of dance fame. She and Chevalier, her dancing partner, took over where the Castles left off. Jack Buchanan sat on my left. He hasn't changed a kilo or a hair since I first saw him back in 192 ? in Carlot's Revue with Bea Lillie and the late Gertrude Lawrence. At present he is film big.

His popularity through the years has never waned, be tween his big American movie successes, and playing opposite Jeannette MacDonald, and the present new medium of TV. The favorite American sub ject was discussed at lunch. Our host made a remark that should interest those who have reached or passed the half-century mark: "I am happier now than I have even been in my life, because there is no longer conflict between passion and reason." Beautiful Villa I must say his face, reflects an inner happiness and he looks like one who no longer goes alter things, but lets them come to him. His villa is in exquisite taste, beautiful modern paintings everywhere and a few photo graphs in every field of en deavor including the King of Pickin' Pears By SID HOLLINGSWORTH "Cap".

His mother, either in oil, sculpture or photographs, adorns every room. His bedroom was originally the library. All three walls are shelves of books. The wall he faces from his bed is one huge window overlooking his beau tiful garden. This is a house with a happy atmosphere, a house .. with strong character. Even his selection of paintings is virile. There is no doubt that a house and its decor gives the char acter of the owner. Just as one can judge a cook by his kitchen, or a woman by the contents and manner in which she keeps the inside of her purse. Show me an untidy home and I will show you an untidy person with an untidy mind a "scatterbrain." I know a great deal more about Maurice Chevalier now that I have been in his home Here is a strong but gentle per son who I am sure has always been the captain of his ship and director of his fate.

This arrange- m e n t was drawn up by the Mary Kaye Trio, a group Aline Mosby that's rapidly becoming the top singing-instrumental team in the country. Any member of the group can do a "single" in movies, night clubs or TV, the contract says. But the earnings must be pooled for 20 years even if one winds up a big film star and the others sink to oblivion. "For ten years we've been working together and struggling together," Mary explained to day. "We love each other. And we're doing this for protection, in case something happens to one member of the group. And if good fortune comes to another member, we'll all share it." Other groups may be puzzled by this odd contract, but the trio's ability to get along may be one reason why they're grad uating to the big-time. The name "Mary Kaye Trio" means little to most citizens, but swing ad dicts go into a frenzy at the men tion.

In 1945 the brother and sister switched to jazz on their own. A year later they acquired Frank Ross, described as a curly-haired Jer ry( Lewis, as the third member. They sing, play instruments and throw in zany comedy. The young entertainers have toured night clubs and hotels and guest ed on network TV shows. In Las Vegas they starred in the cock tail lounge of the New Frontier Hotel for two years, and were more popular than many of the big-name headliners in the regu lar floor shows. The big stars themselves would crowd in to watch the trio until 6 a.m. Many headliners such as Dan Daily, Ginny Simms and Sammy Davis Jr., got so carried away they'd sing with the trio. Work as Unit Now the group is headlining at Ciro's nightclub here. Their record, "Mad About the Boy" is the top seller in New York this week. Betty Hutton climbed up on the stage at Ciro's one night to announce "They're the most fabulous trio in show business and Mary Kaye is my favorite singer."
