(UPI Telephoto) Hollywood Actress Will Hire Concert Hall To Display Singing Ability By JOE FINNIGAN ; Hollywood - (UPI) - Shirley ' Knight feels it's about time Hollywood found out she can sing, so the pretty actress is ' hiring a concert hall. ' Miss Knight, a movie new comer who recently finished i a role in "The Dark at the Desert Snail's Juice Can Save : Stranded Men J ': Farnborough, England-(Sci- ; ence Service) - The species of , snail called Ehrenbergi Roth . may rank in the future with the St. Bernard dogs as friends of travelers in distress. These ' snails can stave off death from i thirst among survivors of air i craft crashed in a desert, tests here have shown. The large white snail Is found in the Negev, the desert ; in southern Israel, and in the i scrub desert along the north African coast. In its shell it carries up to half a teaspoon " ful of "water," actually its . body fluids. ' Can Seal Self Up ' In times of drought, the ' snail can seal itself up and last as long as four years. A crashed airman can stay alive about four days in similar . circumstances. Interest in the snails began when a Royal Air Force in structor in the desert surviv al school in Libya trod on one and noticed it contained moisture. The Royal Air Force at El Adem collected thousands of . Ehrenbergi and sent them in sacks to Flight Lt. John Bil- lingham of the Royal Air Force Institute of Aviation Medicine here. Lt. Billingham fed the flu id to two rats, which actually cut on weight on the new diet. Analysis showed that the juice contained no dangerous para sites or microbes and no toxic substances. , High Quantity 'of Protein The Ehrenbergi's Juice con tains a high quantity, of pro tein, and Lt. Blllingham, put ting It to the test, iound that four pints of lt a day was enough to sustain him. In his simulated' test of a desert crash, Lt. Billingham was shut up in a chamber in which the temperature was sometimes as high as 118 degrees j-anren hull. "I was a bit weak at the nH of the four days,'-' he ad mitted, "But I was mentally alert and quite nappy, in nrnttv awful stuff, rather fish like. It was so unpleasant that after the first day I navorea it with saccharine and lemon essence. But people dying of thirst in a desert will drink anything, so to them it would be like nectar- jqilLfijbi'(n ww Karachi -flJPD- The Pakis tan government is unofficially reported considering estab lishment of its own Jute trade representatives in important . -I I t la ar- ...t thaf Kw allminfttlnff the gUCU ' "J - o - middleman, Pakistan could . 1 , , n m t.ita rrlr El n H get ucuci juw ' '- - " could better observe market trends. -)' Top of the Stairs," has been keeping her voice accomplish ments a secret from filmland's prying ears. I found that if people know you can sing, they won't accept you as an actress," said Shirley, as she sat in the liv ing room of her home. "For years, Doris Day was a singer and nobody thought she could act. ' Now that Shirley's got foothold in the business of acting, she'll sing, but only for a select audience. No Admission 'I intend to rent a little hall at my own expense and hold a concert," she said. ."I won't charge admission, just invite people that I want to hear me. Shirley will be accompa nied by a pianist and intends to sing Elizabethan love songs, operatic arias, French folk tunes and some contemparary ballads. Miss Knight, a self describ ed "frustrated opera singer," studied music for 10 years but quit when she came to Holly wood. ;I didn't sing anything or take a lesson for the first two years I was here," she said. That s terribly frustrating for somebody who wants to sing. But, I was determined to become an actress and not let singing get in my way. "Actually, when I first! came out here, I would have loved to get a job singing. But there's no market in Hol lywood for legitimate singers. I certainly won't sing rock and roll." As for talent, Shirley is modest enough to admit that her chirping caused a little eyebrow raising at the next door neighbor s house." "I practice my scales while doing dishes," she revealed. 'One neighbor complained and said it sounded like a cat rl..!.,. I . II 117 Hi rlnaa ha nfnnl t n 1 at ' I Hollywood know about her voice now, when not too long ago she kept it a secret? "WaII It talrn. aurhlln tn prove yourself in this busi- j I ness, she explained, wow, I think most of the people here know my dramatic work and singing won't detract from my career. Miaht Help Career In fact at this point it might help," she said laugh-linely. This Idea of hiring a nail may sound strange to some people," Shirley pointed out. Actually, it s not. it s Deen done many times before. I was in a olav once for which we rented the hall if you 1 1 could call it that and Invited guests. The place was so smau held only 30 people, but we played there more than two weeks," she said. "Some Im- nnrtant executives came to mir nlav and the idea worked. - - . . i "I d gotten nownere up voi that time, wnen tne piay wasi over, two contracts were of fered to me. Others in tne cast also got Jobs." Between pictures, Shirley can be found working for nothing In some little theater. "I belong to an acting goup and we always do plays," she said. "I don't get paid for them but the experience is wonderful and we all enjoy It" I ILeif i (Gap MMmitiipg With J.
