A STANDING ovation
. . . what greater tribute
than this could be given to
the performances of Max
Sosin, Sammy Woolf and
Hal Gordon at recent Per-
fection Masonic Lodge so-
cial . . . The three fellows
were at their best and a
'crowd of about 175 left in
sadness . . . that the eve-
ning was over . . . We've
heard Max, -Sam and Hal
many times . . . but they
were never better!
MOVIE WENT on al-
though Hal Gordon was
only person in theater re-
cently to see "Towering In-
ferno" . . . Gave him a
chance to yell out, "Duvid!"
when seeing former bass
player in his band, Dave
Meyer, on the screen.
THAT'S A CUTE name
. . . the new beauty salon
called "Hey, Marie!" on
Coolidge, two blocks south
of Lincoln in Oak Park . .
It's owned by Marie Hughes
and name is the brainchild
of attorney Henry Baskin.
$2,000 A YEAR richer is

years.

their bottom line of petrol.

at Raleigk House . . . Made
up of 12 couples and usually
have a sell-out on their an-
nual bingo fund raiser . . .
which is reason for larger
place this year . . . Some
folks win prizes galore at
the Mr. & Mrs. bingo . . .
like the winner last year
who actually had to get a
truck.
SIGHT SCENE . . .
Court of Appeals Judge Na-
than Kaufman making a
good proper left turn on cor-

no smoking sign . . . how-
ever will hand you an ash-

a millionaire. I made him
one." .. . "What was he
before you married him?"
. . . "A multi-millionaire."
12th SPACE Congress
was held at Atlantis Beach
Lodge in Cocoa Beach .. .
with much talk about the
space program at Cape Ken-
nedy being rejuvenated . . .
Things in the offing will
make many American's
mighty proud when they
read about them.
MAY 15 IS final day of
National Asthma Center
door to door "March For
Breath" drive . . . (was for-
merly known as Michigan
Chapter of CARIH).
IF A COP stops you and
gives a ticket, don't beef or
talk back . . . Fellow is
doing a job . . . and it's bet-
ter to have these guys on
your side in time of need.
HOWEVER, WATCH
out for those speed limits
that go from 25 to 30 to 35
miles an hour . . . and
right back to 25 in no time
. . . it's prevelent in small
communities . so take
caution . . .
HOARSELY HE begged,
"Whisper those three little
words that will make me
walk on air." . . . So the gal
sweetly told him, "Go hang
yourself."
THE COMMUNITY-
ITE who hired a housekee-
per-maid from Jamaica,
told her to clean the back of
the house . . . She later
came home and saw every-
thing as it was and couldn't
find the Jamaican lass any-
where . . . The local gal
went outside — and there
was the maid, doing a won-
derful job . . . cleaning the
back of the house as she was
told to do!
LOOKING BACK on
Listening Post columns of
yesteryear . . .
OCT. 27, 1967 . . .
"Percy Swartz of Al's Loan
Office, hearing that he be-
came a grandfather for the
first time, was making a
redeem — collected $50 for
a ring he had been holding
. . . In his excitement,
Percy gave the customer
back the ring plus his $501
. . . New granddaughter
Jamie's parents are Barbara
and Jack Swartz."
NOV. 10, 1967 . . . Geri
Diamond was given a ticket
recently and neglected to
have it paid . . . Finally, a
warning came to the house
— send $5 or get a warrant
for arrest . . . Geri told
husband Dave to pay the
ticket for her . . . He ada-
mantly refused . . . that is
until suddenly remember-
ing a very important thing
. . . the car was registered
in his name."

David 0. Selznick, the
producer of "Gone With the
Wind" and a goodly number
of memorable films, posthu-
mously was honored by the
Friends of University of
Southern California Librar-
ies in Los Angeles recently.
Gregory Peck paid tribute
to the producer by referring
to him as a perfectionist
who had a compulsive drive
to do something better and
better. Other speakers such
as King Vidor, who directed
Selznick's "Duel in the
Sun," underlined the produ-
cer's tenacity -and his will
ne7er to give up in spite of
all odds.
Olivia de Havilland, the
only living witness of
"GWTW," was at hand to-
gether with Lauren Bacall;
Dorothy McGuire, Fred As-
taire, Rock Hudson, John
Frankenheimer, Jennifer
Jones and Miklos Rozsa. A
taped tribute by George
Cukor, currently filming
"The Bluebird" in Soviet
Russia, was played for the
USC audience.
Richard Lester, director
of Ilya Salkind's produc-
tion of "Four Musket-
eers," explains that the
original intention was to
tell the Alexander Dumas
classic in one swoop. How-
ever, they found out it
would have been a four-
hour-plus movie, too much
for the swashbuckling
happenings in one session,
and also too good a thing
to waste on one evening.
Lester explains that they
not only expanded the
"Three Musketeers" into
four but also expanded the
characters and gave them
more depth. A gymnasium
for swordsmen was con-
cocted crammed with lethal
gadgetry. Michael York's
D'Artagnan in the current
sequel is a forceful man in
battle and the boudoir.
As in all films of Richard
Lester, the Philadelphia-
born director who came into
his own in England, we
never know whether he is
kidding or dead serious with
the characters and subject
matter.
Streisand,
Barbra
meanwhile, is now going
into "Rainbow Road," the
second remake of "A Star
Is Born," previously a ve-
hicle for Janet Gaynor and
Judy Garland. The yarn is•
being streamlined by Bob ,
and Laurie Dillon with a
"rock-and-roll" approach
to the show biz personality
on the screen. Phil Feld-
man at First Artists will
produce.
William Goldman is re-
writing "All the President's
Men," the account of Water-
gate, with Robert Redford
and Dustin Hoffman as the
two Washington Post re-
porters who basically broke
the case. Alan J. Pakula will
produce for Warner Bros.
during an anticipated 12
weeks shooting.
Walter Bernstein is the
screen-play author of "The
Front," a Woody Allen star-
rer for Columbia focusing
on the McCarthy witch hunt
of the 1950s and the black-
listing of Hollywood writers
suspected of Communist
loyalties. Martin Ritt is set
to direct and co-produce
with Charles Joffe. The pic-
ture goes before the cam-
eras in mid-September.
Boston Rabbi
Finishes Race
BOSTON — The cheering
throngs lining the 26 miles,
385 yards from rural Hop-
kinton to downtown Boston
had dwindled to trickles of
spectators by the time
Rabbi Richard Israel
reached the finish line.
But the 45-year-old Bos-
ton area director for Bnai
Brith Hillel Foundations
completed the Boston Mara-
thon. He finished more than
two hours behind the record
time of graduate student
Will Rodgers, winner of this
year's race.
A self-described "non-
athlete," Rabbi Israel began
a regimen of "running for
my life" 18 months ago. His
jogging increased to 10
miles daily, he shed 40 over-
weight pounds, toned his
muscles and "got into great
shape."
Nearly 20 miles from the
starting line, the rabbi col-
lapsed. "I feld like I was
wearing sandpaper
socks," he said. "I was
about to drop out."
But another competitor,
an elderly Japanese man,
grasped the rabbi's hand to
encourage him. Together
they plodded up the tor-
tuous road while spectators
cheered.
