You'd b a dandy for commer cials. The man to get in touch with is Henry Brown, 44 E. 53 street, New York City, an agent who casts human being in those mid get TV sagas devoted to the virtues of soup, soap or what have you. As Brown tells it, TV is in a bad way for real people. People who look like you and me. Well, anyway, you. "We had a heck of a time, for example, finding a real girl with long arms," said BrOwn today. "We needed her for a tire chain commercial. The idea of the arms was that she wouldn't appear to be straining too much when she put those chains on." A Baal Problem However, those problems pale beside Brown's present diffi culty. It seems several sponsors have passed along the word to ad agencies that many of the actresses used in TV spiels don't look honest to goodness for real. Pow some of the casting di rectors of the agencies are get ting real panicky like. They want people who look believ able. And believe me, this ten dency is begining to spread. About the only commercials left for the high fashion girls are cosmetics," said Brown. The requirements for Brown's stable are simple, he wants neat, clean looking attractive girls. The age bracket in the 30 s is about the best. Top Wages "They can't have a regional account, no sponsor will buy that. And they should feel com fortable in front of a camera, we don't want anybody who's going to freeze up," said Brown. "The facial structure should be angularbut not bony. A girl doesn't have to be pretty, but being ugly won t help." The pay for flim commercials is pretty good, S200 and up With rerun possibilities, an ex perienced spieler can sometimes run that up to $5000. On live commercials, the in experienced pitchlady can col lect from $140 to $250. The re wards, of course, are much high er for actresses with reputations. TV reputations, that is. Snowed With Mail Since word got out that Brown was scouting for housewives, he has been snowed under with letters and phone calls. "I look like the 'before' in the before pictures," wrote one lady with much excitement from Babylon, N.Y. l understand, sir, you are looking for. a tired housewife, You can have mine," wrote an i 4 The homemaker who dries htr clotho the old fashioned way is a slave of the weather ... and the dock... 3 ungallant gent from Brooklyn. Actually," said Brown, "the women we re looking for shouldn't be too hard to find. Even if we find some who aren't so tired looking, they'll be tired by the time we finish working with them all day over a hot camera."
