UPI Drama Editor New York - IUPD - "Why. I haven't even been . in the habit of singing in the show er!" " - '' - .' Such frankness from the leading lady of a forthcoming Broadway musical who has to sing could come only from the redhead popularly known, thanks to television, as Lucy, and, more formally, as Lucille Ball. "Naturally,' I've been taking vocal training like mad," said the heroine, of TV's "I Love Lucy" series. "I have a mar velous coach, Carlos Menotti, and by the way, he's not Gian (jario Menotti, tne opera conv poser,""' 1 '' ' "' "I'm not going to, do any of that ta)king-off-a-song stuff the way some non-singers do in' musical shows these days, Seems to me that that is hard er than actually trying to sing, I'll just' have, to take my1 chances, by rearing back and letting go. " Mostly Funny Songs "Fortunately, I'll have most ly funny or action or character type songs., That means 1 11 be doing a lot of cavorting around while I'm singing, and maybe that will keep people from paying too much atten tion, to the quality of .the voice." Miss Ball will make her Broadway debut Dec. 15 at the Alvin theater in "Wild cat," a work involving proven Broadway talents in all de partments will find her playing a girl wildcatter in the oilfields of the southwest some 40 years ago; "It's a sort of tomboy type of role," Miss Ball said with relish. "I get into the business because my father was in it, and there is the incentive of trying to make good because I have a crippled sister to look after. The romance angle is a continual fight with the leading man (Keith Andes), I'm the sort who ' always thinks and talks big without any substance to back it up. I guess you'd. say I'm a sort of conwoman in the oil busi ness." The show . goes Into re hearsal - next week to get ready for a six-week run In Philadelphia prior to Broad way, but Miss Ball has been busy with her voice coach and other tutors for several weeks. "Ever since I got out of the hospital here," she explained, pointing at a slight scar on one shin that is a reminder of a Hollywood mishap early in the summer when she was making a film with Bob Hope. It Didn't Bleed ' !, "I got that hit on the head that everyone heard about at the lime it happened, but I got over that. At the same lime I had this little scrape on the shin. Didn't even bleed. But you know that thing just never healed up, and by the time I got to New York I. simply had to go into a hospital and have a slight operation to get rid of an in fection so I'd be ready in time for rehearsals." : It may never happen again, but Miss Ball is one star who comes to Broadway equipped with production money - all $400,000 of it. The sole back er is Desilu, the fabulously successful TV production com pany created by Miss Ball and her ex-husband, : Desi Arnaz, of which she is a vice presi dent and major stockholder. "There is a twofold reason for this setup,',' the star ex plained. "For one thing, I just UT3S? didn't like the idea, once I'd made up my mind to do this show, of having to be respon sible to a number of individual backers, including many friends, who were all too will ing to invest in it. Stockholders Unhappy ; "Also, the Desilu stockhold ers weren't too happy about my stepping out of the TV picture after eight very profit able years. But, by making Desilu the backer of the show, there is a continuing relation ship, and I am still working for them, with the possibility of bringing in more profits." Miss Ball has taken a long lease on a seven-room apart ment in a still incompleted apartment house complex on the fashionable' uppet east side of Manhattan which she shares with hereon, daughter and mother. '. ,.. . "I want the show to be a success, but I hope it doesn't last as long as the lease," she said. "I'll settle for a two season run." y K " " f , ' 1 v A RIGHT BIG SHOE-The old woman who lived in a shoe had nothing on this youngster in Vienna.

' Short-Day Plants Short-day plants are those that begin to flower when the days begin to shorten and the nights become longer. Long day plants behave just the op posite. ' : High auxin (plant growth substance) levels in short-day plants might promote pistil late or female .structures, Dr. Weston asserts, while high auxin levels in long - day plants enhance staminate or male structure formation.
