The Hollywood Scene
By HAZEL JOHNSON
United Press Writer
Hollywood (UPD The
minute Lana Turner walked
on the movie set with a brave,
bright smile and her head held
high the tension surrounding
her return to the movie busi
ness began to evaporate.
By mid - morning the cast
and crew of Universal-International's
re-make of "Immi
tation of Life' were relaxed
and full of admiring praise
for the slender blonde as she
politely, but ever so firmly, in
dicated the door is shut when
it comes to the events of the
past four months.
Lana, her short locks
"lengthened" by a matching
platinum "fall." was available
to the press. But the subject
of her daughter, Cheryl, and
the knife death of Johnny
Stompanato Jr. on Good Fri
day clearly were to be avoid
ed.
Nervousness Admitted
The actress did admit a little
"nervousness."
'"But I always am when I
start a picture," she said in a
clear, firm voice.
Only her eyes and an oc
casional nervous movement of
her beautifully - manicured
hands showed the strain she
was under.
Dressed in a simple, ging
ham gown and looking 10
years younger than she did
when she gave testimony
which cleared her 10-year-old
daughter of Stompanato's
death at a coroner's inquest
last May, Lana would speak
only of the future.
"Cheryl may come and visit
me on the set," was her sole
reference to her -tall, quiet
speaking daughter who by

court order is living with her
grandmother until a final cus
tody hearing next month.
Daughter Enjoys Visits
"She always does," Lana
said, adding that her daughter
"loves to watch."
Asked if she thought Cheryl
might be interested in becom
ing an actress, Lana said she
wasn't sure.
"Cheryl's artistically in
clined and draws and
sketches," she said. "But I
don't know about becoming
an actress."
The actress broke off just
then to acknowledge the ar
rival of a huge bouquet of
flowers from the movie's producer.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A NOUVEAU EICH Wall Street plunger decided the time
had come to add some .genuine art masterpieces to his be
longings. After a hasty course by an "expert" the plunger
invaded the market on his
own. A Matisse in the win
dow of a gallery on 57th
Street caught his eye. He
strode inside, buttonholed
the director,, and declared
forcefully, "I want that
Matisse in the window, but
you're not going to stick me
for it It's worth $40,000 and
that's what I'll pay; not one
red cent more." "Sold," said
the director quietly, As he
pocketed the new owner's
check, he- added quietly,
"Our price for the picture
had been set at $29,000."
Two unusual gifts were duly recorded last week. A compassionate
friend treated a despondent cannibal chief to a cure on a psychia
trist's couch. It seems the cannibal was plumb fed up with people.
And a Hollywood star sent an agent he detested a live alligator nag.

Bing Crosby's Wife
Taken To Hospital
Hollywood (UPD Kathy
Grant, actress wife of Croon
er Bing Crosby, was admitted
to Queen of Angels hospital
early today.
Miss Grant, 23, who is ex
pecting their first child, was
admitted to the maternity
wing of the hospital at 3:45
a.m. A hospital spokesman
said only that "she is here
and there are no complica
tions." Crosby and the former

lumbia, Tex., were wed last
Oct. 24 at Las Vegas, Nev.
Factions Engaged in Battle Over
Nudity in Shows on Las Vegas Strip
Las Vegas, Nev. (UPD
Factions warring over bare
bosomed showgirls figurative
ly faced each other today
across the highway dividing
this gambling resort's famed
"strip" of resort hotels.
On the west side of the
Mason-Dixon line formed
by U.S. Highway 81 which
ribbons across the desert to
ward heavily populated
Southern California are the
forces of nudity or "art lov
ers. On the east are the anti
nudes, or hotels which have
warned that no good will
come of the "trend toward
nudity."
Church Members Warned
Observing the scene is the
Roman Catholic Church,
which Thursday joined the
issue with a pastoral letter
decrying the trend toward
nudity and warning members
of the church to stay away
from such shows.
The Most Rev. Bishop Rob
ert J. Dwyer of the Diocese
of Nevada issued a pastoral
letter which will be read at
each Mass on Sunday. It
stated:
"All Catholics are strictly
forbidden by the Divine Law
itself to have any part in en
tertainment which is of its
nature indecent or suggestive.
Visitors of the Catholic Faith
are bound by the same law
there is no vacation from the
Ten Commandments."
The bosom barrier was first
broken by the Dunes which
was' followed recently by the
newly opened Stardust and
the El Rancho.
Commented Major A. Rid
dle, president of the Dunes
hotel:
"The question of nudity has
been the battleground sepa
rating the church and the
artist since the earliest times.
The artist has always pro
claimed the human body as
a thing of beauty, to be ad
mired and revealed in good
taste and in glorification of
the highest concept.
"In the case of exposing
the female form for public
view, the tradition of nudity
in the theater has been solely
to glorify beauty."
Across the highway where
the "dressed" shows of the
Tropicana, Flamingo, Sands,
Desert Inn, Riviera and Sa-i
hara hotels are still drawing
good crowds, veteran show
man Jack Entratter, presi
dent and producer at the
Sands, said:
"The trend toward nudity
is the worst thing that could
happen to Las Vegas and all
show business. Our long and
expensive struggle to provide
the best floor shows for the
nine million visitors to Las
Vegas each year could be de
stroyed in just three months
if nude shows continue to
spread."
Metal for bells is often
about 74 to 85 per cent copper
and 15 to 26 per cent of var
ious tin alloys.
