EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. April 10. 1958 ;" i BLOSSOM ING Doris Thompson enhances the beauty of the Redbud trees in Lake County where hills and valleys of Northern California's Redwood Empire are ablaze with their crimson colors each ApriL Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) A former film studio messenger girl has returned triumphantly to Holly- wood as the movie's only female writer producer - di rector - editor with her sec ond highly praised film under her trim belt. Only a few Aline Mosby years ago Ruth Orkin was running through the halls of MGM Studios to deliver mail and coffee to famed execu tives and movie-makers. "But I could see," she smiled today while here on a visit from her New York home, "that it would take me years to get any place in such a big organization." Ruth quit. She and her hus band, Morris Engel, became still photographers in New York. But three years ago Engei designed his own portable movie camera and they scored a sensation by making a film themselves, "The Little Fugitive." Surprise Witness Heard at Fong Trial Portland (U.R) The de fense called a surprise witness in the Wey Him Fong murder trial here yesterday who related that she once had heard 16-year-old Diane Hank threaten to kill herself. Mrs. Ethel M. Snell, a clean ing woman, testified that one time when in the Fong home late in 1953, a young Chinese youth visited the one-time Fong baby sitter and that Diane was upset when he left. "If he stands me up again, I'll kill myself," Mrs. Snell quoted the Hank girl as saying. She also testified that Diane took a pill and fell asleep and that later she was unable to awaken her. Earlier in the day, Wey Him Fong had taken the stand and denied he had ever given any barbiturates to Diane Hank. He is on trial for the second time for murder in connection with the girl's death in 1954. Read and Use Classified Ads Critics Raved This year the husband-wife team is drawing raves from the critics again for their second home-made efort, "Lovers and Lollipops." Like their first pic ture, the second full-length film was shot entirely in New York, with the big city as their set. "We couldn't make these films without my husband's small movie camera," she explained. "That way we can shoot in Macy's without anybody know ing it. And, as magazine photo graphers, we learned to be in conspicuous." Some 15 persons invested in the Engels' first picture, and two people are backing "Lovers and Lollipops." The budget for the do-it-yourself movie is a secret, because it's so low "it would be embarrassing" to reveal, they said. Child Featured "The Little Fugitive" featured a small boy, and "Lovers and Lollipops" also stars a child- bor rowed from the Engels' neighbor. The couple gave the child, a nine-year-old girl, presents dur ing the shooting to keep her interested. Ruth was ' net only the co writer, co-director and co-producer of "Lovers and Lollipops" with her husband, but she also edited it and works as her own press agent. She even acted in the picture. "The last day of shooting we needed somebody to portray a baby-sitter so I stepped in. It was an emergency," she said. "My back was out of whack so I had to play the scene lying down. When we previewed the film, people thought that scene was such a wonderful touch!" BURNING1 'EM UP Milwaukee (U.R) Alder man Peter Hoffman explained why he always carries packets of matches advertising his oppon ents: "I like to use up- their marches, just to get them out of circulation."
