LUFT 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.

TE 1-0775 Free Parking 0 Al 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 . . . The writer, Dr. Samuel John- son ! editing department to emerge as a cutter for Orson Welles, Garson Karim and John Ford. In 1944, Val Lewton gave him his first . chance to direct a motion picture. "The Seventh Victim," a horror story with Kim Hunter and Tom Conway. Yet, it was not instil 1948, five pictures later, that Stanley Kramer's - Champion" catapulted director Robson and a Broadway newcomer named Kirk Douglas to the top of the ladder. Next fol- lowed "Home of the Brave. - also for Kramer, and "My Foolish Heart" for Samuel Goldwyn. Mark Robson has remained in the lime- light ever since. In all, he directed 30 motion pictures, in Samoa, Eng- land, Germany, Italy, Jamaica. Fiji, Japan, Hon. Kong. Holland. India, Sweden, Spain, ' Morocco, and the China Seas—in addition those guided in Hollywood and to on location throughout the United States. The most traveled film- 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- elot." will triple in brass as screen 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- erine Heyburn, with Cecil Kella- way and Virginia Christine in the sideline. Sam Leavitt 'functions as cinematographer as he did in every successful Kramer movie. S Jerry Epstein's Screen Career By HERBERT G. LUFT (Copyright. 1967. JTA, Inv.)

N. of Masonic Temple of "Kitty Doane." While Jerry Epstein was still a 3148 Second Blvd. at Seville Hotel 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 Kong"). It also will introduce Jerry as a major film director to the American public. Nobel Prize-winning ph) si, .
