Video Interview Series
Begins Sixth Year On Air

' NEW YORK (AP)--W ofter
onder how you get on 'Persor
to Person,' " said Jesse Zousmer,
coproducer of the show.
"And we still don't know ho
you get on this show," said co
producer John A. Aaron.
"Person to Person." which peo
ple are interviewed in their hornet
by Edward R. Murrow, returns to
the home screen Friday evening
over CBS-TV.
The guests will be comedian
Jerry Lewis in his California
home and Cmdr. William R. And
erson, who will be interviewed
aboard the atomic submarine
Nautilus in Groton, Conn.
Although Aaron and Zousmer
like to play it somewhat vague on
how they select their guests, they
are not at all vague about one
thing. In unison they say as "Per
son to Person" begins its sixth
year:
"It will always stay live. If the
program ever went to film, it
would lose all its spontaneity and
die."
A fellow chatting with them said
that one reason he enjoyed watch
ing the show is the perpetual
anticipation, seldom realized, that
something might go hilariously
wrong. Aaron and Zousmer, who
are as protective of their guests
sensibilities as mother hens, fell
silent.
The fellow recalled the guest
who started to take the TV audi
ence through his home via "Per
ion to Person" live cameras and
walked straight into a closet.
Then there was the time Sid
Caesar forcot his wife's name and
the time Mrs. Pat Weaver's zipper

"That's what we mean by the
ipontancity of live television,"
aron said. "If such things hap
pened in filming we d feel ethical
iy hound to re-make shots."
The public knows the defer
ence, Zousmer added. If we
went to film people would quickly
teel the show was rehearsed and
phony."
Although there are no re
hearsals," Aaron and Zousmer
often exert directorial powers to
help the people Murrow inter
views. They have made men
guests change their ties and or
dered women guests to change
from expensive dinner dresses
into something less conspicuous.
Except in the case of as renowned
drinker as Toots Shor, they
never permit the cameras to show
a bar in a home the program
visits.
It's also true that they have
pursued some reluctant people for
years in order to bring them to
Person to Person. For example.
Marilyn Monroe, the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor, Sophia Lo-
ren, Vivien Leigh have made their
only live TV appearances on the
program.
Sir Winston Churchill is the only
person they would consent to film
and they'd probably row a boat
to bngland to do it.
They believe that the most ner
vous guests on the program are
comedians. Their theory: Corned
ians can't make up their minds
whether to be themselves or try
to act like comedians.
The calmest guests are athletes
Murrow's theory, to which they
subscribe: "Athletes are used to
taking instructions. And as Yogi
Berra put it: 'There's nothing to
it. What the heck, nobody's charg
ing you with spikes out." "
Retired Teachers

The Retired Teachers Associa
tion met at the home of Mrs. Lor
ena Ward, 3930 Bristol Avenue, re-:
cently with 20 members and guests

During the business meeting, the

of III A gave a report of the re

on Association insurance was

Famous Whodunit Novelist
Dies In Sleep At Age 82.
NEW YORK (UPD-Mary Rob
erts Rinehart, 82, who averaged
writing a mystery novel a year
for 40 years, died Monday night
in her sleep.
Mrs. Rinehart was a wealthy
woman from the time she pub
lished her first book, "The Circu
lar Staircase." That novel alone
was believed to have earned her
up to nine million dollars in stage,
screen and television sales. It
was dramatized under the title of
'The Bat."
Mrs. Rinehart was a prolific
writer of not only mysteries but
books with a medical theme. Her
interest in that subject may be
traced to the fact she married
Stanley M. Rinehart, a doctor.
after training as a nurse herself.
During World War I Mrs. Rine
hart served as a correspondent.
She interviewed Queen Mary of
Great Britain and King Albert and
Queen Elizabeth of Belgium.
Mrs. Rinehart once described
writing as "the hardest work in
the world" but she continued to
turn out her novels as late as her
76th year, when she published
"The Swimming Pool," a mystery
set in Bar Harbor, Maine, where
she had a home.
Even before publication of that
book, it was estimated her novels
had sold more than 10 million
copies in 13 languages. Most of
the novels were serialized in mag
azines and many were made into
movies and television productions.
Mrs. Rinehart, who died in her
Park Ave. apartment, was born
into a modest Pittsburgh family
in 1876. She is survived by three
sons and six grandchildren. Her
husband died in 1932.
By BOB THOMAS
AP Motion Picture Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) i Consider
the strange case of Alan Marshal.
Fifteen years ago, he was rid
ing the crest of popularity. A
handsome leading man in films
like "Lydia" and "Tom. Dick and
Harry," he seemed to have every
thing he needed success in his
profession, fame, etc.
He played opposite Irene Dunne
in the immensely popular "White
Cliffs 'of Dover," followed it with
comedy, "Bride by Mistake,
with Laraine Day. Then disap
peared from sight
Fourteen years later, he is mak
ing another movie, The House
on Haunted Hill." What happened
in between?
He gave some explanation dur
ing a lunch break as he was fin
ishing the movie at Allied Artists.
The suave mustache was gone,
but he seemed as deuctdly hand
some as when he was playing op
posite the screen s loveliest
ladies.
'I underwent a kind of mental
turmoil," he explained. "There
was a long period when I didn't
appear to be able to make up my
mind. Producers would send me
scripts and I'd read them. But I
couldn't tell them whether I
would or would not do the pic
tures. Gradually they stopped
sending me scripts."
He didn t elaborate on the na
ture of his, turmoil, but said with
an English reserve that he didn't
think the public would be inter
ested. He did say that he did not
consult a psychiatrist, but felt he
could cure his problem by him
self. After a number of years, he
felt that he had made the cure.
"But then it was too late," he
remarked. "The picture business
had passed me by. The producers
seemed to have forgotten me."
Unable to find work in films,
he went east and got a few roles
in TV dramas. He toured briefly
in a play, then returned to Hol
lywood. In recent months, his career
has brightened. He made a good
impression., in a Perry Mason
film, then did a G.E. Theater and
a couple of Western TV segments.
"The House on Haunted Hill" de
veloped and there are other roles
in the offing ior him.
"I am pretty hopeful," Marshal
commented, "though they don't
seem to be making the kind of
picture I used to do. Everything
seems to be Westerns and hor
ror pictures and juvenile delin
quency. I was always pretty
much typed as an Englishman.
"Actually, though I was born In
Australia, I have lived here since
I was 5 and went to school in
New York. But I started playing
the classics at an early age and
I hfld onto an English accent be
cause I liked it."

Film Star To Offer Advice
On NBC Radio's 'Monitor'
By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK (AP) Marlcne
Dietrich, a woman of philosophi
cal mind whom men seldom view
philosophically, will launch a
weekend radio program Oct. 4 in
which she answers listeners in
quiries on life, love and the pur
suit of happiness.
Her throaty voice will bo heard
in a series of four minute time
spots on NRC Radio's "Monitor."
"I'll answer the questions I
know something about," she said
the other day, "and only serious
questions. I can summarize every-

thing that I basically say with
three words: Do your duty."
Miss Dietrich, who is as beauti
ful as ever, said that she already
has received more than 500 letters
from people ranging from teen
agers to octogenarians in response
to an NBC announcement of her
program. A great many are from
people who say they are lonely.
"All people arc often lonely,"
she said. "I'm often lonely. What
really is so bad about that?
In this country too many neo-
ple try to crawl from the ages-
old fact that life is hard. They
are not to blame because they
were brought up to believe that
life should be a bed of roses.
"But in Kurope people are
brought up with Ihe idea that life
hard and so they re better
equipped to take it when they face
it.
'Many people write and sav
that something must be wrong
with them because they get de
pressed. I wish they could under
stand that stupid, cold people are
the only ones who never are de-i
pressed. I am often depressed. All
ensitive people often are, and
only the sensitive learn the deeper
and more valuable things of life.
I nope to tell them that de
pression is a part of life. And you
should not try to push life from
you." She thrust her hands out
quickly and drolly mimicked a
neurone woman "You should not
have that frantic 'I've got to do
something about if attitude, that
need to do something or have a
drink to escape from where you
are.
She smiled suddenly. "We come
back, don't we, to the three
words? 'Do your duty' and stop
worrying about how you feel."
As a mother and a grandmother,
Miss Dietrich is interested in the
dilemma 01 Dewiidercd young
mothers who read books offering
advice contrary to what they
learned from Iheir own mothers.
"They have nobody to talk to,"
she said. "And that is true of
many, many people: They lack
someone to talk to. I hope that I
can communicate with them."
It seems certain that she will.
Hunters Error;
Lose Weapons
Two California deer hunters who
said they inadvertently wandered
across the border into Oregon
were fined $250 each Monday for
hunting deer out of season.
The hunters, Aubrey E. Everett
ol San Bruno and Ernest L. Waite
of Redwood City, said they were
lollowing a hand-drawn map and
didn't realize they were in Ore
gon. They were arrested by Bill
itusn, game oincer, on Haymaker
Mountain three miles north of the
California line.
District Judge D. EL Van Vac
tor reminded Ihe hunters it was
their responsibility to know where
they were hunting. California's
deer season now is open, but Ore
gon it not.
I Judge Van Vaclor also ordered
I the hunters' guns confiscated.
