On Stage
Actors' Lives Are Insurable Today-
But in the Past T'wasn't Always So
Autumn is the time of year
when theater backers, especially
thpse who invest in musicals,
like to think positive thoughts
about shows such as "Two by
Two." The musical which pre
miers on the 10th of November
on Broadway has. for openers.
Danny Kaye play in;; Noah (of
Ark fame), and music by Rich
ard Rodgers. M
The show also has actor-singes
Harry Go/ playinj Shem, the
103-year-old son of Noah, Harry,
who is 38—and an old hand&t
playing older men. since he qid
the lead in "Fiddler on tip#
Roof —has talent, personality
a Funk and Wagnalls-sized
scrapbook of clippings, and life
insurance, While the foregoing
may not appear to be an incom
patible combination, veteran
theater performers can never
theless recall a time, a hulf-cen
tury or so ago. when actors like
Harry were considered less than
ideal risks by life insurance
companies. &
Precarious l.ifc Style
How come? Well, in the early
1900s. the theater seemed to most
people a rather precarious pro
fession. This consensus was dtK
to actors' hand-to-mouth exis
tence. as well a> to a reputation
as vagabonds which had preced
ed them from Kngland to Puri-
Un America. Players around
the turn of the century lived a-,
much by their feet as by their
talent, wandering from town to
town, giving perl finances on
ramshackle stages in village
squares, as well as in establish
ments which served refresh
ments stronger tha.i sarsapa
rilla. This hobo-like life style
was. in fact, not far removed
from a century earlier, when ac
tors in England were required
to carrv special permits to trav
el public highways. Even so,
Irate sountry folk would unchain
dogs after them.
As a result of the peripatetic
nature of the actors' craft and
mode of living, many life insur
ance underwriters in the early
1900s shied away from insuring
the lives of theater folk, often
rating them as a "moral haz
ard." Some of the old under
writing edicts on the books made
ominous mention of such factors
as "irregular hours and associa
tions," as well as "environ

Liberalized Underwriting
Within the past half-century,
however, full-fledged gains in
the status of the acting profes
sion. as well as the liberaliza
tion of underwriting, have erased
life insurance restrictions for
talented young actors like Harry
Goz, reports the Institute of
Life Insurance.
So, like they say in those TV
commercials: "This is a great
time to be alive . . ."—and Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Goz, who live
in a New York suburb with their
sons, Michael, 11, Geoffrey, 5
and daughter, Melissa, 7, in a
new house with a new mortgage
with a new, as yet-unnamed
schnauzer, have not one, but
two life insurance policies. One
was purchased by the actor
from his agent and the other is
provided through the show's
producer. In fact, all actors in
"Two by Two" receive group
life insurance policies, as well
as health insurance, under a
union contract with Equity, the
theater union.
Actors' Agents
To show you how show biz
took to life insurance and vice
versa, there are now life insur
ance agents specializing in pro
viding coverage to actors as
bo worked by you in needle
point. Add interesting touches
to your decor with pillows.
You'll find more than five un
usual needlepoint pillow de
signs. including bargello, in a
variety of color schemes.
You can oven exorcise some
of your feminine wiles—by
practicing your sewing skills on
soft and huggable storybook
dolls. You'll find instructions
for seven of these little cuties
in the 16-page section of free
patterns.
Other sections in this Annual
of great ideas include Crafts for
Children, Embroidery, Papier
Mach6, Knitting, Pottery, and
Sewing, as well as Party Ideas.

well as other entertainers.
In the old days, of course,
such a specialty would give its
practitioners about as much of
a wrrtvdut as a wardrobe mis
tress' job at "Oh! Calcutta!"
While there are still some in
dividuals in the entertainment
lield who have to pay slightly
above standard rates for life in
surance—they are often "bin
top" circus performers, lion
tamers, trapeze artists, steeple
chase riders and such. Many of
these entertainers pay a pre
mium only slightly higher than
your neighborhood milkman. In
fact, says the Institute of Life
Insurance, only about 5 per cent
of all ordinary imlicics are clas
silied as extra risk and no less
than 97 percent of all applica
tions for ordinary life insurance
in the United States are accept
able by life insurance companies
today.
Anyway, Harry Goz has little
cause to worry about his family
these days. His wife is protected,
his kids are protected, and
everybody in Manhasset, Long
Island keeps an eye on the new
schnauzer, too. However, Harry,
who has been in rehearsals for
the past couple of months, can't
watt until opening night in New
York, when friends wish him
"break a leg," the theatrical
equivalent of "good luck."
