TWO MEDF019 (OHEGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Thursday July 11. 1957
Oil Th Side By E. V. Durling
(Diitributcd by King Featuru Sradicjte, Inc.)
"Always ihe best man. Never
the groom." So observes a
Brooklyn bachelor who hag
been the best man at 12 wed
dings. That's quite a record.
However, a British bachelor
named Joseph Handisides, who
is 59 years old, has been the
best man at 19 weddings. Being
a best man is a nervewracking
assignment. At a recent cere
mony in New York the bride
groom was cool, calm and col
lected. The bride was likewise.
But the best man, poor fellow,
cracked under the strain. He
fainted at the altar.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. A
Jockey, according to the rules
of racing, cannot own and race
a thoroughbred at recognized
tracks. How about a jockey's
wife? A. No rule against a jock
ey's wife owning a racing stable.
However, in states such as Cal
ifornia, where the community
property law is in force, such
ownership might be questioned.
Q. Has there ever been a stage
version of "Around The World
In Eighty Days" produced. A. In
1870 the Kiralfy Brothers pro
duced a highly successful and
clever stage version of the
Verne classic. In 1946 another
stage version was produced. It
was a flop.
Passing By
Sammy Cahn. Veteran song
writer. Scored his first hit with
a new version of the old Hebrew
melody "B-i Mir Bist Du
Schoen." Remember it? Was on
the Hit Parade of 1938. Was
popularized by the Andrews
Sisters.
Asides
Did you ever play in a Mar
ried Men vs. Single Men base
ball game at a picnic or club
outing? If not, cease calling
yourself a Young Old Timer.
You probably never even com
peted in a three-legged race . . .
That organization known as
"The Camp Fire Girls" now has
480,000 members. I wonder if
any woman who had been a
Camp Fire Girl married a man
who had been a Boy Scout. And,
if so, how did the marriage
make out?
Cuxious Food
Recently I mentioned a Man
hattan food shop that offers
such quaint food items as canned
fried bees and fried grasshop
pers. In Detroit there is a res
taurant called "Safari Land"
that lists on its menu: "Steamed
Caterpillars Served With Hot
Butter." Also "Fresh Baby Bees
With Drawn Butter Sauce."
Also available at this eatery are
such curious items as "Rattle
snake Cocktail," "African Lion
Tail Soup" .and "Buffalo
bergers." Sidelights
Ever hear of an Irishman
named Barnaby Cohen? If not,
keep the name in mind. It may
come up on a quiz program
Barnaby, a native of Dublin, in

facturer of the lead pencil
A three-year-old lad of Dear
born, Mich., has five living
great grandparents and four
living grandparents. "Is it a rec
ord?" asks my informant. Seems
like one to me, but I won't bet
any stogies on it until Texas
Brooklyn and California are
heard from.
Airline Skippers
Some British airline captains
burdened with the responsibility
of navigating huge passenger
planes over difficult interna
tional rules are paid a salary
that is the equivalent of $125
a week. Certainly a pathetically
small pittance for such a dan
gerous job. Dutch airline pilots
are paid the equivalent of S177
a week. So are French airline
skippers.
Name the Same
Now I have a reader in Mem
phis, Mich. I appreciate her in
terest. However, I am opposed
to the name of her town. I be
lieve the name Memphis should
be exclusively used by that mu
nicipality in Tennessee. I feel
the same about all smaller towns
having the names of larger
places. Let the largest city keep
the name. Have the others vote
for a new name. This goes for
Newark, N.J. and Newark, Del.
Pasadena, Calif., and Pasadena
Md., Albany, N.Y. and Albany
Ga. And so on. And don't forget
those 17 places in this country
named Brooklyn. Sixteen of
these towns should change their
names leaving only Brooklyn
N.Y., the original Brooklyn, and
me largest place of that name.
Among the Married
Great Britain has a higher
percentage of bigamists than any
other nation in the world. Re
cently uncovered there was a re
markable bigamist. That is, re
markable for the manner in
which he for so long handled a
highly complicated domestic
situation. This man had three
wives and ' three homes. Each
wife thought she was the only
one. The bigamist discussed is
the father of 12 children, nine
by one wife, twins by another
wife and one by his third wife.
Yet, as stated, each of three
wives and families was ignorant
of the existence of the others.
This went on for years until the
head of three families finally
made a false step that uncovered
the strange situation.

Around Hollywood

Hollywood HP) As proud as
I am to be a Gabor, I'll have to
admit there are times when it
would be easier if I had another
prefessional name.
I love being interviewed, but
it seems that since I am a Gabor,
interviewers are primarily in
terested in my opinions of men,
women, love and goulash.
When I tell them that Mama's
the only person ever to have
given me a fur coat, or that act
ing is the main interest in my
life, they smile patronizingly.
The truth is, glamour, dia
monds m i n ks, men, sex and
sophistication get more credit
than deserved for the part they
play in my life.
"I'm an actress first. Every
thing else is incidental, co-incidental,
relatively u n i mportant
and greatly exaggerated!
Name Causes Trouble
But, alas, my name is always
being unduly coupled with
stories of caviar, champagne and
continental drawing rooms.
Diamonds? I do have a few.
About $150,000 worth, but
they're investments. I bought
them myself. Men know pract
ically nothing about buying jewelry.
All my life I've had to beat
glamour down.
Less publicized aspects of me
are the ones about which I'd
rather be asked.
When I came to Hollywood I
was 17. I had never acted. I had
never studied. I acted and I've
never stopped acting. I studied
and I have never stopped study
ing. So why is it after a perform
ance someone inevitably comes
to me and says, "Why, you can
act.!"
Studio Life Unnoticed
Not many people ask about
my former membership in the
Actors' Studio, about my first
Broadway show, "The Happy
Time," my own television show.
Or the fact that I was a disc
jockey in a midnight radio show
in New York and once authored
a book.
Someday I'd like to play Shaw.
For my next stage appearance
I have in mind an adaptation of
a Viennese version of 'Camille."
The only thing I haven't done
theater-wise is dance. That I'm
about to learn.
Don't get me wrong. I don't
sell glamour short. It's flatter
ing to be called glamorous. Every
woman likes that. But I'll be
most proud when someone points
