Disguise Fails Television's Sieve Allen
By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK (AP)-Steve Allen
grew a mustache during a six
weeks European trip this summer
but it failed to serve its purpose.
American tourists still recognized
him.
When Allen returns to his reg
ular spot on NBC-TV Sunday eve
ning, his mustache will stay for
one performance. Allen will be
present all season.
Next summer, he confirmed, the
Allen Show will move to Holly
wood for its permanent home.
"I like California," he said the
other day. "I like to live and
work there and I've bought a
home there. By next fall NBC will

we can move the circus West."
For one thing, he'll be closer
to his three sons by a previous
marriage. For another thing, his
wife, Jayne Meadows, likes Cali
fornia, and their young son is
reaching the toddling stage where
a fcew York apartment Just
doesn't seem big enough.
Allen sees no great changes in
his show this season. It is, he em
phasizes, a comedy show not a
variety show, although it will con
tinue to have a variety of guests.
On their trip to Europe this
summer, Allen, his wife and two
of his sons went to England, then
crossed over to Paris where they
rented a car and drove south
through France and into Italy.
"It was my first trip," he said,
"and now 1 can't wait to go back
to Europe. If I could look into the
crystal ball and see that I'd be
on television every week for the
next five years I'd be disappoint
ed. In a year or two I'd like to be
on every second week. Television
is thrilling, but It's confining."
There hasn't been anything con
fined, however,, about his activi
ties during this so-called vacation.
He has been writing songs and
several albums of his music
have been recorded. He's working
on a book of cartoons. And, as

for his show.
Allen is the greatest idea-jotter
in the business. He eschews note
books and favors ola envelopes,
menus or any bit of paper. At al
most any hour he can reach in
almost any pocket and pull out
a note. Furthermore, he can al

Battle Won,
Singer Claims
HOLLYWOOD UPI Actress
singer Pearl Bailey said today she
has won her battle to eliminate
"undignified and unnatural" Ne
gro dialect from the all-Negro
movie 'Porgy and Bess."
Miss bailey flared up at a
minor actor during rehearsals
when he repeatedly used the line,
"Ain't I done told you?"
"It's been cleared up now," she
said. "I said I'd ask for changes
in the cast if that sort of stuff
continued. But it stopped, which
is the way it should have been in
the first place.
"Neither, Sam Goldwyn, the
producer! nor Otto Premingcr, the
director, said there should be any
dialect. Mr. Preminger said right
at the beginning that if there was
something we didn't like just
leave it out.
"But some of the kids who ap
peared in the show in New York
and got used to the dialect con
tinued to use it. Nobody told them
to."
The George Gershwin folk op
era has been in a constant state
of turmoil since production start
ed. First the sound stage burned
down and had to be rebuilt.
"I was plenty serious about that
dialect business," said Miss Bail
ey. "We're still rehearsing, and I
wanted it stopped before we start
ed shooting.
"I told this kid and some of the
others that it's insane to use it
if it's not insisted on. It's losing
your dignity. It's undignified and
unnatural. I don't care if it's Ne
gro or Italian or Greek or French,
it's In bad taste."

By JAMES BACON
AP Motion Picture Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) No one
commented on it at the time but
this year's two top 'Academy
Award winners Alec Guinness
and Joanne Woodward have a lot
in common.
Guinness long has been known
as a faceless actor or, paradoxi
cally, the man with 1,000 faces.
Joanne, who won an Oscar for
"The Three Faces of Eve," act
ually is the girl of 1,000 faces.
Friends of the actress often pass
her on the 20th Century-Fox lot
and fail to speak simply because
they fail to recognize her. Of hun
dreds of photographs of her filed
away in the publicity department
there are few that look alika.
I It's more than hair-dos, Joanne
believes, its something inside her
The movies' great box-office
draws always have been definite
personalities both on and off
screen.
"But," says Joanne, "because
I'm never the same, I have hopes
of becoming a box-office draw.
If anybody is going to come to
see me, it's because they expect
me to be a different character
than the last time.
"I'm riot a personality so un
less I'm a character, I'm nobody."
"And that, she says, is why she
went from the three dmerent per
sons in "The Three Faces of Eve'
to the Southern floozie in "No
Down Payment" to the frustrated
spinster in "The Long, Hot Sum
mer" to the busybody housewife

The part calls for her to wear a
fluffy hair-do. She went straight

Movie Business Is Crazy, Says Star
HOLLYWOOD fAP) "Movie
making is a crazee business.
N'est-ce pas?"
So 'say Jacques Bergerac, the
handsome French actor, who is
currently playing a Basque in a
Western movie called "Thunder in
the Sun."
Jacques is one of the few, if not
the only. French actor to star in
a Western. But he doesn't con
sider that the least bit odd com
pared with the making of "Girl."
When I was in Hollywood, 1
talked with MG.M about a part in
the movie but nothing came of it
so I left for France to make an
other movie there." he said.
'I drove all day from Paris to
Biarritz, went to sleep and got up
the next day. I went to a bullfight.
I had forgotten all about 'Gigi'
because I read where they had
started production in Paris and
that a French actor had been
signed for my role.
That night I return from the
bulltight and the whole town
knotvs that MGM has been trying
to locate me. Vincente Minelli, the
director, had called the police, the
fire department even the mayor.
"I called him in Paris. He want
ed to know how soon I could get
there. I said 1 had my- car and
could drive back the next day.
"Mot . ouick enoueh. He would
send a plane for me. They had
hundreds of extras waiting on the
set for the scene.
"So a big four-engine plane ar
rived early in the morning and I
flew back to Paris in it all alone.
By the time we arrived, it was
too late for shooting so the ex
tras were dismissed.
"Besides, I had to make a deal.
That meant I had to call my agent
in Hollywood, and late that night,
the deal was made.
"Next day on the set, a replica
of an ice palace, came the army
of extras and me but the script
was not yet ready so there was
no shooting. That night Minelli got
on the phone with Alan Lerner,
who was in Hollywood, and Lerner
dictated the scene.
"Again next day on the set, all
the extras there, the scene is
ready to shoot. I Dlav an ice skat'
ing instructor who must give les
sons to Eva Gabor.
"As the cameras are about to
turn, I make one comment that
causes a mild panic. I tell them
that I have never been on ice
skates before. Again the extras
are dismissed.
"A professional ice skating in
structor is hired to teach me how
to skate. I take lessons for sev
eral hours but you cannot learn
to skate that fast especially if
you are to play an expert
Next comes the idea of putting
Eva and I on a movable platform
that can be glided across the ice.
We just move our shoulders as
skaters do the scene is shot, al
most a week from the time I left
Biarritz."
But that is not all.
"That particular scene where I
give Eva skating lessons is cut
from the finished picture. Crazee
business."
