Singer Loses Weight To Appear On Show By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent ' New York (IP Merv Grif fin, a singer who used to be fat and happy, is currently slim and hungry. "I used to weigh 245 pounds. I used to eat anything I wanted to," recalled Griffin with a smack of his lips. "You can im agine how I looked. "I'm five-feet-nine." "In fact, I was so fat early in my career that when I was with this local show in San Francisco, they used to bill me as the "Mystery Singer." The station was too embarrased to send out my picture." Griffin, lulled into semi somnolence by the blissful per kings of his digestive system was unruffled by this treatment. But he did take pause one morning when he was called to appear on a local breakfast show with another singer, Joan Edwards. "Well, Joan heard me sing and she said 'Merv, you sing the end, but the blubber's got to go,' " recalled Griffin. Too Fat for Her "Then two days later, this elderly lady fan came up to me and when she found out who I was, she shrieked 'But you're so fat!" I think she got a little hysterical about it because she kept saying it over and over." Griffin was, as another musi cal observer has put it, all shook up. "I decided maybe I better trim some of it off television was beginning to come in around then, too, and I figured my fat had had it," he said. "I did it the hard way nothing but steaks, eggs and cottage cheese. I knocked off 11 pounds the first week. I got so enthusiastic after that, I almost ended up on lettuce leaves." Griffin hacked off 90 pounds in four months, a feat roughly comparable to negotiating the Sahara in roller skates. - "The terrible thing about sticking to a diet in show bus iness is that the people in it are the greatest eaters in the world" he said. "Everybody's always eating during rehearsals, be- toys, dolls, others. Send 25 cents for your copy of this needlecraft book now!

Free Balloonist "And then, of course, when you're out of work, it's even worse. You have nothing to do but eat. I was a liberty for one point last year and ballooned to 180 pounds." Griffin, 30, a native of San Mateo, Calif., is currently run ning a daily evening radio show of his own on the American Broadcasting network. The list ening audience never gets a chance to glimpse his svelte fig ure, but Griffin doesn't mind too much. "Sure, I'm a little sad about not being fat anymore I lov ed eating, I loved the booming laugh I used to have and I loved the way girls used to love me. No kidding, girls like fat men better than thin ones, I've found," he said. "But, then, being thin has its advantages, too. Now I can dance the mambo without being con spicious and it's also possible for me to get my arms around a girl. But man, am I hungry."

I guess the outstanding thing she should have in her character is sym nathv " Miss Avery, whose credits in- .XV..1J., wnuac elude broadway plays such as "Charley's Aunt," said the gen- eral sketch of wives as she plays them has a hint of sex. The wife is faithful but still interesting. iQiiuiwi uu b suit .hi 1, ci caiiug. a the script even cave her a chance to have a top quality do mestic battle with O'Connor. "I get a bubble out of playing some guy s wife, she said. "However, while most of these. eight guys still have some ro mance left in their souls, I give them back to their own wives at the end of the working day. Gee, I think most of them are married and have about eight or nine kids." Miss Avery said she has nev er met any of her co-stars' real wives. She also said she doesn't plan to seek out any of them. "It might be a little awkward," she said. The actress said her wife roles have permitted her to wear a wide range of clothing from strictly kitchen attire to an eve ning dress. She also donned ma ternity cloth's for one teleplay. Her most frequent television is Ray Milland, with whom she performed in about 80 programs in "The Ray Milland Show." She said they got to know each other quite well. "We really got sort of used to each other," she said. "We were very casual. He's very charming and would make a good husband in fact, he is married."

She said she also has been asked :f she'll play Ralph Meek er's wife on a broadway produc tion "The Brass Section." She's thinking it over right now. The actress' personal life in cludes one marriage, two daugh ters and a divorce. "But I guess I still look the way a young wife is supposed to," she said. "I just keep playing one wife after an other. "My former husband he's Don Taylor, an actor-director must think I look OK, too, I guess. He drops in for dinner all the time."
