! Broadway By Mark Barron New York ? Being a typical Broadway man, playwright John Ceeil Hokn rustled back. to his iso lated home in North Chatham, Cape Cod. Mass., the other day when he had finished writing tbe film script of "From Main Street to Broadway." Between the film scenes in Broadway's Martin Beck theatre, he told the story of how Shirley Booth was cast in the leading role of the stage comedy, 'Three Men On a Horse," a play which Holm and George Abbott wrote and which ran for 835 performances on Broadway beginning in 1935. "Abbott and 1 saw Shirley play ing in a sketch by Dorothy Parker in a revue called 'Sunday Nights at Nine,' " Holm said. "Two girls came out and sat at a table, had a soda and they talked about mr . and life and, I think, Brooklyn. Shirley was the blonde girl; every so often I wonder who the other girl was. "After the show I went up to a room in a hotel which was occu pied by Shirley and her then hus band, Ed Gardner, who was affec tionately called *Poggie.' He was in a dinner jacket and he was in the show. The deal was, as I re call, that they were given use of the room for these Sunday night shows. Perhaps thev received their meals also because Shirley was well enough nourished to attend re hearsals and 'Poggie' went on from there to become a big radio name on his own. "Abbott and 1 felt that Shirley was tbe girl for "Three Men On a Horse' and shortly after that we went into rehearsals. Mabel, the character Shirley had to play in 'Three Men On a Horse,' was a very human not - too - bright ex -Follies girl. Her future seemed to be wrapped up in the fortunes of a race tout and horses, while she spins out her dreary present in the fly-specked interior of the Lavil lere hotel. "This could have been a surface smooth, flashy, sexy, dumb dame. But there was more to the role than that and' Shirley sensed it at once. Day by day the part levelop ed in rehearsal until, when she opened in New York, she had given the roAe a sort of pre-cineramic treatment." The other day Holm walked past the Empire theatre where Shirley Booth is now starring in the hit comedy, "The Time of the Cuckoo," and it looked like happy lights to everyone on Broadway. "A lot of us around Broadway knew she'd get there someday," Holm said. "In fact she's been there quite awhile. And one of the most sure and determined about the whole thing was Shirley Booth herself." Japan and Chile produce sulphur in commercial volume from vol canic deposits. When an America* girl dresses up for her presentation to royalty, even her beribboned. lace corset deserves the closest scrutiny. Here, Lana Turner poses for inspection bv her companion, Una Merkel, in a scene from M-GM's lavish Technicolor production of "The Merry Widow." Fernando Lamas co-stars with Miss Turner in the famous Franz I.ehar musical romance. OCEAN PARK DHITE-IN LAST TIMES TONIGHT "SPRINGFIELD BIFLE" Gary Cooper SATURDAY "TRAPPED" Lloyd Bridges SUNDAY ?

World's newest V8 with a million miles behind if Heiie, in literal fact, is the most advanced V8 engine ever placed in n standard-production American automobile. , It is the first such V8 to reach an 8.5 to 1 compression ratio, and the first with a dynamic flow muffler that cuts power toss to zero. It is the first V8 to utilize vertical valves together with a 12-volt clectrical system instead of the usual 6. It is also the first designed with new "T" type intake mani fold to replace the "Y" type conven tionally used in Vfc. It is, quite simply, the first V8 Fireball Engine ? the engine that brings electrify ing performance to the greatest Buicks in fifty great years -die engine that powers the 1953 Buick Roadmaster with 188 hp, and the 1963 Buick Super with up to 170. NaturaHy, this spectacular new V8 has been proved-by eight years o# developing, testing, improving, perfecting -and by more than a million miles of driving through desert, mountains, cities and plains. Only then did Buick engineers mark it: Reltaasd tor Production. But these hard-to-please engineers gave these Golden Anniversary Buicks far more than new power. They gave them, toe, a still finer ride, more superb comfort, new braking power and handling ease? and a sensational new Ttoin-Tbrbme Dynaflow Drive* that adds new quiet and whip-fast getaway to abso lute smoothness. Nothing, we believe, will do more justice to your automobile dollars? or to your love of magnificent motoring? than a visit to us right now.
