Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1959)

F r READERS INC. continued Tab in Our Hometown lab Hunter was staying in our home town — St. George, Utah — making his latest movie, "Tliey Came To Cordura," when tlie kids at scliool suggested I interview him (I'm on the school paper). I started out for the hotel where Tab was staying, hut when Td gone about halfway, I thought I saw someone who looked just like him coming down the sidewalk. As I got closer 1 found Td guessed right. He said, "Hi Paid.” Tab must have a w'onderful power for remendiering names because he'd only met me once before — along with some other kids, just for a second, at a place in town we call Dick's Cafe. 1 told him that the kids had asked me to interview him and he said, "Fine.” He invited me to join him at a place called the Mig Hand tiafe, where he was planning to meet some friends. He told me that his real name was .Art Gelian and that he was horn in New York in 19.S1 — and all about his family and how much he loved to act. He told me he liked horseback-riding, water-skiing and swimming. He was wonderful to talk to and while he stayed in town we became good friends. !so, to Tab, I want to say this: I'll never forget you. I remember the first night I saw you over at Dick's Cafe and asked you for your autograph. . . I remember that ride to Santa Clara in your pick-up truck. . . I remember the time you couldn't come to the Senior Ball because you were working, hut you still found time to send your best wishes for its success. These are only a few of our good times together, and I remember every one. And some time, if you have time I'd love to hear from yPu. P.vui. Lorr.4inf. Hunt St. George, Utah Movie Better Than Book Recently 1 saw the movie "The Sound and The Fury" and I was happy indeed that Hollywood did not remain true to the hook. In my opinion the hook and its characters truly signified nothing — while the movie version was hard-hitting, and a more warm and meaningful drama I have seldom seen. Keep it up, Hollywood. You can even improve on Faulkner! Therksa Proctor Raleigh, N.C. .lust for Sal 'l on are simply just so cute, I'or you there is no substitute. Sal, you really are all man. And that's why I'm your faithful fan, Christine Kolesiak South Bend, Ind. Tribute to Shirley Temple Once a lovely darling child, Shirley Temple was her name. Though really very tiny, Was enormous in her fame. She was by far the cutest Of all other little girls. With her elfin dimpled face And bouncing golden curls. In “Bright Eyes” and in “Heidi.” Or in any other part, With her charming personality She stole the world's heart. I think I liked her best In "Rebecca of Sunnyhrook Farm,” For in this she showed the most Her captivating charm. .As she sang, or as she danced With her magic little feet. She displayed more talent Than any child star can heat. 1. and I'm sure many others. Await the grand day when Shirley Temple, now' Airs. Charles Black, Will he in the movies again.

Who married whom? In “Julie,” it was Doris Day and Louis jourdan. If there are mistakes please correct them. Leora Reznik Nes-Tiana. Israel For .some reason we couldn't find one mistake!.' Thanks. — El). Terrific Picture .lust where does a person begin to say thank you for making a picture as fine as “Compulsion”? From the smallest role to the leading role, all the acting was terrific. Especially the performances given by Orson Welles. Brad Dillman and Dean Stockwell. Bravo, everyone! AI. H. Burden Wilkes-Barre, Pa. My Fricud lusists ... I have a friend who keeps insisting that .lane Wyman played the wife of Van Heflin in the picture “Shane.” Could you tell me if this is true? Larry Prisco Philadelphia, Pa. Your friend is mistaken. Jean Arthur played the role of Alarian Starrett, Van Heflin was her husband .loe. — En. . . . Aly friend and I are having an argument. We are undecided as to who played opposite Doris Day in the motion picture “.Tulie.” I think it was Louis .Tourdan — she disagrees. Cian you settle this argument? Phylui.s Levine Columbus, Ohio Right you are. Louis Jourdan played Doris Day’s husband in this movie. However, Burry Sullivan co-starred. Perhaps your friend confused the two. — Ed.
