OOOOaOOOOOOOOOODODD □ Q 0 □ □ I NEWS DDOOOOOaOOOOQDCOODOOaOOOD BY FLORENCE MACK In this age of individualism with everyone doing their own thing, diversification rates high. Enterprising JULES JARNEY, currently in the Research Dept, after completing his stint for Uncle Sam, has entered the restaurant business with two buddies, AL GOLDMAN and DENNIS BURMAN. The trio have opened “Burgerworld” in Hawthorne and “The Luau” in Santa Monica. Their specialties: sandwiches . . . all extra-ordinary . .. like ‘submarines’ (Italian salami, ham and cheese on a long bun) ... Philadelphia steak . . . and the world’s largest pastrami. So, if you get hungry, drop in on the boys. Good luck, fellows. Expert Prop Maker, JOHN GRIMES, took off on a camping trip to Lake Elsinore over the Fourth with his entire family, including three grandchildren and, when they returned, the group headed for more camping in Sequoia National Park. ART HOUSER, head of the Script Department, adept at picking ‘lookers’ who are also competent, sent four of the prettiest: MIRIAM BRODY, JODYE HORWITZ, SHIRLEY LUTES, and KAREN RICHARDS to Mexico on the New Princess Carla. The quartette returned with becoming coats of tan and glowing tales of romance and enchanting evenings on the Pacific. A most interesting letter from LOIS ‘GERRY’ MITCHELL, now with the U.S. AID/ED in Vietnam. “It’s been six months since I arrived in this country,” says Gerry, “ a very exciting period, and what was once strange to me is now commonplace. Not that I’ll ever become accustomed to the noise of the bombs — but I really made a wise move when I decided to take this job. Haven‘t regretted it one bit, although I do miss fhe studio, but now that I’ve met a fine man ...” Gerry has another year of service, then we’ll be seeing her and get all the news first hand. Producer FRANK McCARTHY, Director FRANKLIN SCHAFFNER and their crew members are home from Spain after completing principal photography on “PATTON” - and ELMO WILLIAMS and RICHARD FLEISCHER, Producer and Director respectively of “TORA, TORA, TORA” have been completing filming at the studio. Today’s Call Sheet says, with reference to “Tora, Tora, Tora” “This will complete principal photography.” Mr. Williams, who was limping badly, is now back on his two feet. We all missed these nice people. Bernard Wiesen, Associate Producer on “JULIA”, took advantage of the hiatus by sojourning in Europe. The genial Bernie must have improved our image over there — if it needed improving ... as did NATE BARRAGER, “Julia’s” Production Manager, while vacationing in Jamaica. Darling DICK DARLING of Electrical is taking off for Reno and Tahoe with his bride, KAY, and this time, promises Dick, we’re coming back with a bundle. MAURINE LACY of the same department is now back from her vacation. “I just rested on the Colorado River,” says Maurine. LORETTA and LOU POWELL, retirees now living in Apple Valley, paid us a visit. Loretta, formerly of the Credit Union, and Lou, who was in Office Service for years, are getting much enjoyment in their very lovely home doing what they please when they please. Neighbor, TED FRASER, formerly of Accounting, spends time with them when he isn’t traveling in his trailer home. If you haven’t seen pretty contractee, MELISSA NEWMAN, in that yellow min-dress with the daisies around the low neckline, you haven’t lived! Cousin CARROLL NEWMAN BUTLER’S pretty cute too. Carole, who toils behind the camera is impatiently awaiting her bridegroom’s return from Vietnam. Papa LIONEL NEWMAN, brilliant head of the Music Dept., has just completed the monumental task of scoring “HELLO, DOLLY.” The girls are flipping over hand¬ some ELLIOT GOULD who plays the role of “Trapper” in Ingo Preminger’s production, “M.A.S.H.” (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital). We also have JIM FRANCISCUS and DARREN McGAVIN, neither of whom are lacking in virile good looks, as well as GARY CONWAY and DON MARSHALL, who both get their share of oblique looks from the girls in the commissary and elsewhere on the lot. Among the beauties on the distaff side are LINDA HARRISON, in a continuing role in “BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES;” ELEANOR PARKER and CAROLYN JONES, both appearing in SUBSCRIBE NOW - enjoy STUDIO ever y month 24 HOUR or DAY TELEPHONE ANSWERING SERVICE • Professional • Commercial • Residential Sfi vincj STATE • DICKENS DIAMOND • TRIANGLf WEST VALLEY TELEPHONE EXCHANGE 70 5 8 Reseda Blvd Dl 3 1901 VAN NUYS TELEPHONE EXCHANGE 14532 Vanowen ST 5 5406 • TR 3 1550 Page 25
