Coleman Had Planned Return
To England Prior to Death
Santa Barbara, Calif.-
3c -who knew suave, debo
gir Ronald Colman personal
ly and through his long acting
career were saddened by the
death of the veteran, 67-year-old
stage and screen star.
Colman, whose whimsical
touch and clipped accent
made him famous in his 30
year career, died Monday at
St. Francis hospital of a virus
lung infection.
Death ended the gray
hairld actor's plans to return
to his native England next
month.
"It will be wonderful to see
England again," Colman told
friends recently. "Conditions
have improved so much. The
theater is marvelous and it
will be a delight to show
Juliet (his daughter) some of
the places we used to know."
He planned to enroll the 13-year-old
miss in school at Lau
sanne, Switzerland. Colman's
wife, Benita, and Dr. George
TJlrich were at his bedside
when death came. He had
been hospitalized the day be
. fore with a recurrence of a
virus infection he had fought
for 18 months.
Funeral services will be
conducted for the handsome
actor Wednesday afternoon at
All Saints by the Sea chapel
in Montecito.
Colman, his wife, the for
mer Benita Hume, an ex-British
music hall star, and his
daughter have lived for years
at Montecito, about 90 miles
from the hustle and bustle of
Hollywood.
For the past 18 months, the
i star had been in semi-reure-
ment and was determined not
to do another movie unless it
added to his stature or was "a
lot of fun."
Colman's long career, which
included appearances on the
London stage in 1916 in a se
ries of plays and a screen de
but there in 1917, was cli
maxed when he received an I and talkie.
Academy Award as the best
actor of 1947 for his role in
"A Double Life."
The star, a dashing leading
man until his switch to the
role as a middle-aged profes
sor on TV's "Halls of Ivy" in
1953, appeared in more than
100 movies in his career
which spanned silent films

Hollywood OP! Number
one baseball nut in the movie
colony is rugged Jeff Chand
ler who follows the fortunes
of the San Francisco Giants
with the enthusiasm of a
small boy glued to a knothole.
Whenever possible the gray
haired actor vhies off to Giant
games, climbs into uniform
and works out with the ball
players.
"In the pre-game warmup
I play catch with the guys, bat
fungos, and mess around in
infield practice," Chandler
said. "I haven't moved into
batting practice yet. Not in
good enough shape.
"The players get a kick out
of it, and it's a real means of
relaxation for me.
"Most of the fans have no
idea that an actor is out on
the field, and I'd just as soon
keep it that way. A lot of pub
licity could make me look
pretty hokey."
Though he was born and
raised in Brooklyn, Chandler
has been a Giant fan since
childhood. His Flatbush play
mates thought he was an ec
centric. But Jeff rode the sub
way from Brooklyn to Man
hattan at every opportunity
despite the two-hour round
trip.
Giants Win Series
"Those were the days of
John McGraw, when the
Giants were living high on
the hog," he grinned. "Then
in 1923 I was the happiest kid
in the world. The Giants won
the World championship.
"I was almost as happy
when the team moved to the
coast: My close association
with the Giants began in 1955
the last year that Leo Duro
cher managed them. Leo in
vited me to Phoenix for
spring training."
Since then Chandler has al
most been a member of the
club.
When his movie commit
ments allow, he flies to San
Francisco to watch his heroes
perform.
"The round trip is still
about two hours, but that
nickel subway fare has jump
ed to $44 for plane tickets,"
he observed. "When I'm in
the East and the Giants are
playing a game in a nearby
city I somehow manage to get
over to watch them in action.
"It's been a long-time
dream of mine to star in a
baseball picture. The big
drawback is the box office.
Only two baseball films ever
made money 'Pride of the
Yankees' and 'The Monte
Stratton Story.'
"Foreign countries aren't
interested in American sports
movies, and that's where pic
tures have to make money
these days."
Chandler still regards the
Dodgers as poison. He is hap
py they have followed him
West only because it gives
him an opportunity to see the
Giants more often.
"I may be crazy," Jeff con
cluded, "but I think that the
Giants are going to win the
pennant this year. All they
need is another good pitcher
and they're in."
Bit parts: Tony Curtis has
to learn to play the saxophone
for his role in "Some Like It
Hot." Actor George Montgom
ery, husband of Dinah Shore,
is a furniture designer and
architect on the side. This
week he was named "Wood
master of the year" by the
National Lumber Manufactur
ers association. Only in Holly
wood department: The MGM
studio dentist recently left
the lot to open an office close
to Metro. During "opening
week" of the new place he is
dispensing pink champagne
as a mouthwash. Mickey Roo
ney, currently filming "Andy
Hardy Comes Home," next
will star in his own produc
tion of "Go Home, Ulysses,"
a musical.

look at what you get for what you pay for
any other pickup in town.
Then-come in and give the GMC the same
kind of going over. Check its 22 full-value
features features that would cost you
plenty of dollars extra in other trucks.
They're all standard equipment in a GMC.
How important are these features? One is
a fast-ratio axle for overdrive's economy
without its cost. Another is the heaviest
front cross-member of any pickup. Still
another's the heaviest rear axle.

running costs longer truck
life. Yet remember-o GMC pickup is priced
right down with the lowest.

Pik-Pak Industry
Told at Luncheon
The first machine built by
Pik-Pak in Dayton, Ohio, to
fabricate tooth picks in the
Rogue valley, cost $50,000,
and it never turned out a
usable toothpick, according to
M. L. (Doc) Wright, president
and general manager of Pik
Pak. He spoke at the round
table meeting of the Jackson
County Chamber of Com
merce Monday noon.
The machinery problem
was one of the many encoun
tered by Pik-Pak in launch
ing a new industry in the val
ley. Wright reported that Pik
Pak has now overcome pro
duction difficulties and with
present facilities, can produce
90,000 individual Pik - Paks
per day.
Wright described the han
dling of the native Oregon
madrone, from which the
Pik-Pak toothpicks are made,
beginning with the cutting of
the trees in the hills to the
finished toothpick package.
Wright introduced A.. E.
Eitemiller, vice president of
Pik-Pak, and Guy Clarke, a
member of the Pik-Pak staff
who is credited with the orig
ination of the Pik-Pak tooth
pick idea.
Jennings Pierce described
the "Centennial" Pik-Pak
idea, designed to' promote
Oregon's Centennial. Pierce
introduced Art Van Leeu
wen, president of the Med
ford Junior Chamber of Com
merce, and Don Carlon, Jay
cee chairman of the Centen
nial Pik-Pak committee.
Milestone Finally Readied Monday
On Colorado River Water Suit
San Francisco OP) Anoth
er milestone was reached
Monday in the six-year-old
legal battle over Colorado
River water when Utah, the
last state in the suit, rested its
case but there's still plenty
of road ahead.
Special Supreme Court Mas-
Two Pilots Jailed;
Query Charges
Port Au Prince, Haiti (IP)
Two American private pi
lots have been jailed here on
undisclosed charges for the
second time in five days, it
was reported today. ,
American residents told the
U.S. Embassy that Haitian po
lice arrested Winston N. Frei
tas and Howard W. Ream,
both of New York, as they
were preparing Monday to
take off for Puerto Rico.
The two men were arrested
early-1 Thursday, minutes after
they flew their light seaplane
in from the Bahamas, and held
incommunicado all that day
before the U. S. Consulate was
notified of their plight. They
were released Thursday night.
BLAST KILLS 16
Paris (IP) Firemen search
ing the ruins of a five-story
garage which collapsed when
a fuel tank exploded uncov
ered the body of the station's
owner Sunday, bringing the
death toll to 16 persons. A
spark from, an electric meter
set off the explosion, Saturday.
ter Simon H. Rif kind set July
1 as a tentative date for re
opening the hearing for rebut
tals, which he "hoped ' could
be completed "by the end of
the summer."
The action was brought bv
Arizona against California in
1952, but Utah, New Mexico,
Nevada and the federal gov
ernment entered into the case
when it went to trial in 1956.
Utah, the last party to pre
sent its case, claimed 125.250
acre feet a year during Mon
day s testimony.
lister of Utah said the amount
ultimately would supply 39,-
000 acres in Utah's "Dixie" in
the southwest, including Iron
Kane and Washington coun
ties. Jay R. Bingham, seceretary
of the Utah Water and Power
Board, told the court the pro
posed "Dixie Project" would
include reservoirs on the Vir
gin and Santa Clara Rivers,
providing water for 13,615
acres not now under cultiva
tion. Callister's legal arguments
were that Utah had rights to
the Colorado because it used
its waters to irrigate its lands
since 1854 longer than any
other state.
