Dissolve Away Warts Without Cutting or Burning Doctors warn picking or scratching at warts may cause bleeding, infection, spreading. Now, science has developed an amazing compound that penetrates into warts, destroys their cells, actually melts warts away without cutting or burning. Its name is Compound W®. Painless, colorless Compound W used as directed removes common warts safely, effectively, leaves no ugly scars. ing over and over again that he did not think he would ever leave his wife for any other woman. Instead of sweeping Liz off her feet — as Mike Todd had done, when he’d told her one day. “Listen. Honey, from now on you don’t have anything to do with anybody but wf!” — Burton had actually made it quite clear to Liz that, despite their grand passion, he wouldn’t mind it a bit if she went out with another fellow or two from time to time. Later, when the grand passion became grander — and Sybil had gone from Richard’s life, and Eddie from Liz’ — and it was only the two of them now facing the world alone, Liz more and more needed security from her man. . . . And Burton, her man. seemed to get his pleasure in confusing her. A superb actor trained in the classical tradition, one of the four men in theatrical history who has played Hamlet for more than one hundred consecutive performances Burton — instead of being agog over the fact that his girlfriend was the most celebrated and highest-paid film star in the world — would make it rather clear, observers say, that he considered Liz to be just one of those Hollywood actresses. He considered her better than average, mind you, but, still, a gal who had quite a bit to learn. (As Walter Wanger said: “When Burton talks about the theater and art, Liz — despite her Oscar — is the student.”) And as if to compound this artistic come-down on Liz’ part. Burton next began to commit that horror of horrors — to insult Liz — in public! There was a time, those in the know will tell you. when one never mentioned the subject of “overweight” in front of Liz. That she had a tendency towards plumpness, that she adored rich foods, that candid and unretouched photographs of her often showed her standing on awkwardly large legs and practically waistless — this was all true, but it was a strictly forbidden subject to mention. So touchy, in fact, was Liz on the subject that she once sued a London newspaper which dared to suggest that her weight had had something to do with the original production delays on “Cleopatra.” And then along comes Richard Burton. And what does he nickname Liz? “Fatty” — according to a leading columnist. And how does Liz react? She “smiles.” and seems to consider it a term of “endearment.” But a smile in front of a newspaperman doesn’t necessarily linger once the newspaperman is gone from the premises. And indications are heavy these days that all is not a happy-time for Burton and Liz when they are alone together. In their present predicament, of course, no one would expect them to stand around grinning at one another like idiots all day. The emotional pressures of the last year have been great, on both of them. Burton has given up much that was dear and important to him. Liz, reports have it, has had more than one quarrel with her father who. obviously, has not approved of the current goings-on. To quote Max Lerner once more: “If you have given up everything and everyone else, shut out the rest of the world for the sake of one encompassing relationship, you come to demand from it what no human connection can deliver. Along with the ’'ows and ecstasy, there are storms and furies, letters returned, charges of cruelty, volcanic outbursts of temper, reassurances, guilt, contrition, and ecstasies of passion to start the cycle all over again.” In other words, while Liz and Burton love quite a bit — they also right quite a bit. And the extent of their fighting can be gauged from this communique Photoplay received at press-time from one of our European correspondents: “The sedate Dorchester hotel — where I am staying — was quite unhappy recently with their two famous guests, Richard and Liz. Guests phoned and complained about the noisy, ungodly battles that were raging in Liz’ and Burton’s adjoining suites into the late hours of the night. “The verbal gist of one battle seems to have been something like this: “Liz — ‘You big boob — all you want to do is read Shakespeare when you’re around me. Well, I’ve had it. You and Shakespeare! Go back to Sybil — she’s literary enough to stand for that jazz. But I’m not!’ “Burton — ‘Oh, shut your blasted mouth before I jam my foot down it. I jolly well can do it, you know!’ “At any rate, during one of their arguments Liz hurled several expensive lamps that were around the room in her suite at Burton. No one seems to know if Liz was on target or not, but one thing is certain. The suite was left a mess. “One of the hotel employees told me: ‘She almost put one of the lamps through the wall. My presence had a salutory effect on quieting Miss Taylor down, but it was only temporary. I knew that we could expect them to fuss up again — and I wasn’t wrong. The very next night there was another donnybrook. but it was of a much shorter duration, and 1 dare say of far less destructive extent.’ ” Who paid the tab? Continues our correspondent: “I found out that management sent a $250 tab up to Liz for the damages. Reportedly, she called downstairs in a rage and protested the charge. ‘It wasn’t my fault,’ she complained. ‘Someone else broke things up here too, let me tell you!’ Those may not be precisely the quotes, but that’s the best my informant can do.” The best we can do. meanwhile, is to wait and see what happens next. There are those who think that Burton will finally succumb to Liz and become another number on her list, another of her out-and-out slaves. After all. they reason, even slavery may be better than dodging lamps and other heavy objects. Others insist, however, that Burton will never give up his masculinity — that, if anything, he will give up Liz first. Liz herself, of course, has no public comment on the subject. And certainly not on the cruel joke played on her. And as for Burton’s reaction to all this — it is perhaps best summed up in a short interview he had the other day with David Lewin of the London Daily Mail. “In ten years time,” asked Lewin, “how would you like to see yourself, Richard?” To which Burton replied: “Sane!” — Ed De Blasio Liz and Burton are together now in 20th’s “Cleopatra,” and M-G-M’s “The V.I.P.s.”
