1 TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Leading Hair Stylist Owns Comb, Scissors, By GAY PAULEY Uniled Press Women's Editor New York TP Have comb, will commute. That's Ernest Ad ler, hair stylist for Faye Emer son, Polly Bergen, Patti Page, "My Fair Lady," "Li'l Abner" and numerous other television and theater stars and produc tions. Adler, a Eostonian who was fired from his first beauty shop job, is known in the entertain ment industry as "The Comb." He sticks his comb, scissors and manicure shears in his pocket and commutes from art ists' homes to TV studios to. the theater. On occasion, he gets as far as California to design hair dos for a movie. He has no shop of his own. He explained he doesn't need one. Most stars he works with have shampooing and drying equipment at their own homes; or, it's backstage. Adler Moves Fast I finally caught up with the fest-moving Adler at the Ira Senz establishment, just a few doors off Broadway. Senz is a leading wigmaker for the entertainment world. He is the son of Adolf Senz, who for 52 years was chief hairdress er for the Metropolitan Opera company. Senz has Adler in his hair a great deal of the time. "Wouldn't work with any oth er wigmaker," said Adler. He From Holland a wonderful chocolate drink flavor Borden's new Instant Dutch Borden's new Instant Dutch is the most delicious summer drink ever. And it's the only drink of its kind containing Vitamins Blf B2, D, Iron! 'JU DUTCH CHOCOLATE FLAVORED MIX fot aftitNG HOT -0 COLD owtt So good . . . yet it costs no more than other chocolate mixes! OTha Borden Co. i But No Shop I was snipping away at a set of I thick black curls. j "They're for Lena Home," said Adler. "We will tuck her real hair under a turban and pin these on for 'Jamaica.' Hair pieces hold curl better than the real thing . . . we bake the curl in, in an oven. . "Jamaica," a musical, is due on Broadway next month. Senz also will do the hair-styling for the Helen Hayes show, "Time Remembered," for "Romanoff and Juliet," and "Copper and Brass." "Six shows a season, that's about all I have time for on Broadway," said Adler. "Tele vision keeps me busy. I do the hair styles for the Perry Como show for the girls, not Perry. For trade shows, Judy Garland and Patrice Munsel wouldn't be without me. Was Page Boy "Know that funny bang Judy wore in 'A Star Is Born?' Did it with manicuring scissors." Adler said his first experi ence in the entertainment world was as a page boy at the Capitol Theater. Then he had a few dancing jobs on Broadway, be fore he studied hairdressing and makeup. His first beauty shop job lasted two weeks. "They told me I was making all the customers look alike," said Adler. "I got fired Christ mas eve." Adler, in 18 years of hair styl ing, has worked with nightclub singers, the chorus line at the Roxy, toured with Dorothy La mour, Betty Grable, Helen For rest and the late Carole Landis. He has styled for TV shows ever since TV. Adler believes he has set off many a fad. "Look at all the copying or the 'My Fair Lady' look," he said. 'Or at the thousands of women who aped the Faye Em erson Chignon, or the Garland bang."

SO mm IPdDttpdDunii'ipi The old folks, at home, impatiently waiting to hear how the one and only child was making out in a foreign land, were pleased to find her first letter in the mailbox Monday night. "My first landing on foreign soil was at Prestwlck, Scotland, at 7 a.m. the morning of September 4." she wrote. My watch said 2 a.m. and it seemed very strange to have it light outside at that hour. The weather consisted of what the purser called a 'thick scotch mist' and was very similar to the usual weather in western Washington. "We stopped there for a little less than an hour, and then flew on to Frankfort, where I had a two-hour layover and changed planes. I was so tired that I didn't notice much there. I went through customs at Frankfort, which consisted of having my pass port checked- and being asked if I had any coffee, cigarettes or whiskey to declare. My suitcases weren't opened. "We took off at noon for Berlin, and as I was sitting on the in side on the three-seats-across side, I didn't see very much of East Germany. The other passengers appeared to be quite interested, and spent most of the time looking out the windows. I noticed, too, that when lunch was served they all cleaned up their plates more thoroughly than Americans usually do. "The first thing that struck me about Berlin were the differ ence in climate (probably a 30 degree drop in temperature from New York) and the abundance of flowers, trees and grass. Com pared to Manhattan, Berlin has almost a rural atmosphere. Every thing is clean here, down to the public restrooms where an at tendant, who collects 10 pfennig (between two and three cents in American money) from you, is always on duty. The streets are kept immaculate by uniformed street cleaners. "Kenny had a day off yesterday, so we went shopping. We picked up some inexpensive pots and pans, and a raincoat and plastic boots for me. In this climate such things are absolutely necessary. "The raincoat is a very good one, with a zip-in nylon lining that is interlined with plastic foam and styled with storm sleeves. With the lining in it is a good warm coat. We bought it at the PX, along with the cooking pans. We also bought a starter set of white plastic Boontonware, and a set of glasses. "The main PX here is quite large, and carries merchandise from all over Europe. One of our first investments was an Olym pic portable typewriter. "I'don't know just what the temperatures have been here since I arrived, but I do know that it is already colder than I would like, and because of the dampness, the cold is very penetrating. Our landlady firmly believes that it doesn't get cold until October 1, no matter what the thermometer says. Consequently we have no heat in our room for another two weeks, at which time our rent goes up 30 marks. Starting October 1 our rent will be 150 marks a month (approximately $36). For that we have a room with a bal cony, and we share the bathroom and kitchen. "It has been so cold in the place that I have been spending most of my time in the Service club at the compound where Ken ny is stationed. There is a wealth of material here my main problem will be finding the time to write about it." . , Monday Potpourri felt a little discouraged. First there was our meeting with a young girl, pretty and intelligent looking, who is to be married soon without ever having gone to high school. Then we were told the story of a teen-age boy who arrived in Medford from another state apparently alone in the world and trying to earn a living although he can barely read and write. Then PH, busy with scissors as she read the last issue of "Date line," publication of the National Association of Manufacturers, put the following clipping on our desk! "The President, as well as the Defense, Labor and Health, Education and Welfare depart ments, are greatly concerned because 40 per cent of American youth quit school at the 8th grade in 1956." Last, but not least, was the depressing effect of the news from Little Rock, Ark. O.S.
