Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
"DIGGEST GROSS for an animal act at a midwestern carnival
t was rung up by a novelty: a tiger and a sheep performing
tricks in the same cage.
"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.

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."
