HOLLYWOOD — Mark Robson
now brings to the screen the best-
seller "Valley of the Dolls," from
Jacqueline Susann's story dealing
with four women who reach the
pinnacle of success only to find
that they're caught in a land of
loneliness, with Judy Garland, Bar-
bara Perkins, Sharon Tate and
Patty Duke portraying the leading
characters in the Robson-David
Weisbart production for Twentieth
Century-Fox.
Robson started his career in the
film industry 30 years ago, as a
laborer in the property depart-
ment of the very same Fox studios
where he now is guiding a multi-
million dollar production. At RKO
he became an assistant in the

TIIERE ARE TWO things tha
make advertising men more tense
and frenetic than so many other
business executives of the times
. .. One is opinionated clients who
insist on butting into carefully
planned campaigns at the last
moment . . . The other is sneaky
account executives who waltz off
. with half of the total billings at the
!drop of a competitor's certified
check . . . Advertising is the in-
valuable aid that lubricates Amer-
ican industry ... Maybe you think
there should be more "soft sell,"
and less shrill repetition and over-
claims? . . . Listen to these words
from a fellow sympathizer . . .
"The trade of advertising is now so
near perfection, that it is not easy
to propose any improvement. But
as every art ought to be-exercised
in due subordination to the public
good, I cannot but propose it as a
moral question to these masters of
the public ear, whether they do
not sometimes play too wantonly
with our passions." .. No, these
words were not penned by some
jaded TV critic in 1967, but over
250 years ago—in the year 1700

light ever since. In all, he directed

maker in the business, Robson has
made his motion pictures not as
run-away productions, but as
American movies photographed in
their actual locale. "Lisa" dealt
with the plight of a former con-
centration camp inmate and was
shot in England and Holland;
"Nine Hours to Rama" told the
story of the man who assassinated
Ghandi and was laid in India;
"The Prize" revealed events about
a Nobel Prize awards presentation
and therefore demanded the locale
of Sweden; "Von Ryan's Express"
recounted the adventures •of a
group of American prisoners of
war escaping from the Nazis in
Italy; "The Lost Command," from
the novel "The Centurians." re-
layed episodes from the war of
the French in Indo-China and Al-
geria.



Gillo Pontecorvo. another Jewish
boy who became a film director
the .hard way, this one in his
native Italy, was in town to present
to us his Academy Award nomi-
nation of "The Battle of Algiers,"
in which he wanted to show his
love for freedom and the futility
of colonial warfare. Unlike Mark
Robson's "The Lost Command,"
in which actors and glamorous
stars depicted the principal char-
acters. Pontecorvo's "Battle of Al-

piers" enlisted the participation
of the real people from the Casbah
of Algiers, Frenchmen and Arabs,
in the true setting of the historical
events. Thousands of natives roam
the streets and alleys in this al-
most documentary re-staging of
tragic happenings of the recent
past. Not a foot of stock footage
was used for the remarkable,
though often one-sided reportage
which kept Hollywood's profes-
sional viewers awestruck and gasp-
ing for air.
Pontecorvo tells me that he
made "Battle of Algiers" with the
same search for honesty and in-
tegrity on the screen as he did
"Kayo," the gripping concentration
camp story photographed by an
Italian company in Yugoslavia in
which Susan Strasberg portrayed
the central character of a young
Jewess violated and abused by the
Germans in a concentration camp
of World War II.
Alan Jay Lerner, author of two
of America's most successful musi-
cals, "My Fair Lady" and "Cam-

writer_ lyricist and executive pro-
ducer of Paramount's forhtcoming
movie, - The Little Prince," from
the late Antoine de Saint-Esupery's
modern literary classic. An adult
fantasy, the yarn deals with a
prince from another planet who
ho
learns about life on earth from
an aviator whom he meets in the
Sahara Desert. Beneath the fairy-
tale facade, the work is regarded
as a penetrating and profound
analysis of human life. An "Oscar'
winner for "Gigi," Lerner, who is
heir to the "Lerner" ladies wear
department store fortune, is cur-
rently preparing for Paramount
two more of his famed stage musi-
cals, "Paint Your Wagon" and the
current "On A Clear Day Yte
Can See Forever," while Warc.;r
Bros. is filming "Camelot."
Stanley Kramer is behind the
cameras at Columbia studios as
producer-director of "Guess Who's
Coming to Dinner," in which Sid-
ney Poitier joins the beim, ed
couple of Spencer Tracy and Kath-

way and Virginia Christine in the
sideline. Sam Leavitt 'functions as
cinematographer as he did in
every successful Kramer movie.

While Jerry Epstein was still a

silent observer during the filming

of Chaplin's "Monsieur Nerdoux"
in 1947, he became Charlie's per-
sonal assistant for the production
of "Limelight" in 1951-52, the very
last picture made by the famed
showman before his permanent
departure for Europe. Jerry since
has worked on many feature films
and television productions in Lon-
don and Paris, with Chaplin on "A
King in New York" and now "A
Countess From Hong Kong," in
France directing Eddie Constan-
tine (also a Jewish boy from the
States). On his frequent visits to
New York, Epstein also staged
"The Millionairess" with Car ,:1
Channing on Broadway.

To complete the full circle of
Epstein's activities, he has new
finished a screen play from Elmer
Rice's "The Adding Machine," his
very first stage production cf 21
years ago; to be made in England
for Universal (the company releas-
ing "A Countess From !long

Jerry as a major film director to
the American public.
