"Amazing," commented a visitor. "Do those oddly as sorted creatures always get along so amiably together?" "They do have a bit of a dust-up every now and then," admitted the trainer, "but we don't let that bother us. We just buy a new sheep." There was a vaudevillian In the good old days who never lacked for work. Why? He was a, clay modeler, and an absolutely fool-proof "audience chaser." Crowds poured out of the theater the minute he began his act which made room for new ticket buyers waiting to get in! There's a reason, maintains Anne Baxter, why so many Hollywood bibhota are overweight The only exercise they get is jumping to conclusions. O 1357, by Bennett Cert.

Hollywood Esther Williams, on her third separation from husband Ben Gage: "The separation was agreed to by Ben and me to work out our problems without upsetting the harmony of our home." Wallace Fat Target For Many Reporters By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York HP Mike Wal lace, battered but not bittered, has developed into the fattest target in TV. Other performers are inter viewed. Not Mike. He is third degreed. "There used to be a time," said Mike with a wistful look, "when reporters would ask me about my hobbies and where I went to school and whether I enjoyed playing tennis. They would ask me to pose for pic tures at home with my wife or maybe, playing the fiddle. "Now ... well, now each in terviewer comes in with that glint in his eye. Some of them sit there with cigarettes dang ling from their mouths and the look of Jack Webb on 'Dragnet.' The questions are short, sharp and probing. The whole - truth -and - nothing - but - the - truth kind of thing. "Do I object? Well, I couldn't possibly inasmuch as I have be come so identified with that kind of technique myself. It is just and, I suppose, natural that everybody should take that tack with me." Pulls No Punches Wallace has been fair game since October of last year when he launched a pull-no-punches in terview show seen only in this area. . ' However Mike really has been beleaguered since April 28 when he switched his interroga tions to the ABC-TV network. "I guess I go through two or three interviews a week," said Wallace, "and the questions fall pretty much in the same cate gories. They ask me whether I am interested only in shock val ue and they ask me whether I am a sadist. "They ask me how much mon ey I make "My ABC-TV contract will bring me a million dollars this year", whether I am under analysis "No," and my religion "I'm a Jew, but a backsliding one," and what guests have turn ed me down General MacAr thur, Charles Lindbergh, Alger Hiss and Marlene Dietrich among others. "They ask me just about any thing you could possibly ask a human being, including my poli tics. That's the only question I refuse to answer. I don't want to seem cagy about it, it's just that I feel my value as an inter viewer would be lessened if I were to be identified with a particular point of view." Has Free Rein - Frequently, Mike is asked whether ABC-TV officials and his cigarette sponsor try to cramp his style. To which Wal lace replies: "I would say we've had about 99 44-100th per cent freedom. On one or two occasions there has been a little commotion up stairs, but it didn't amount to anything. The 56-100th was strictly cautionary. Nobody ever tried to rule out a guest. "What guests are coming up well, we're going to film Ber trand Russell abroad and we think, Nasser and King Farouk. The President of Syria has given us an okay. And those close to Charlie Chaplin say he's ready for us. "We, want attention, but we wish more attention would be paid to the interviews them selves. We're not interested in shock values. We're interested in people with interesting opinions which, I think you will admit is pretty rare for TV."
