EVERYBODY'S GIRL IRMA 


“Гета la Douce," a wayward

score of a new Broadway mu-

way of London. Try it in 
French—with the redoubtable 
Zizi Jeanmaire as Irma—or in

This month. the kind hearts and

RENAULT Dauphine 


There is no single reason why the Renault Dauphine is the largest selling 4-dcor imported car in 
America today. It simply sums up what a cer should.be. Low in initial cost, in upkeep, and for 
replecement parts. Low in gasoline consumption (many Dauphine owners report up to 40 mpg). 
Handling that's precise, sure, relaxed—even in mud, snow, or ice. Classic styling, never out of 
date. Smooth quiet riding comfort at expressway speeds. And such extras as 

windshield washers, deluxe heater, and child-proof safety locks, included as. 

Standard equipment. Discover the many other reasons why, at one of the 

1000 authorized Renault dealers in United States and Canada. Drive the 

Dauphine, product of 62 years' experience in designing satisfying cars.

RENAULT Caravelle 


There are many reasons why the Renault Caravelle is America's most wanted (and attainable!) car. It is the most con- 
vertible of convertibles—with а soft top and a hard detachable top; soft top alone; or hard permanent top. The Caravelle is 
a startlingly beautiful car. Each of the 6 rich colors is individually harmonized with a handsomely appointed interior. Through- 
out, there is a planned feeling of luxury: a hand-crafted sculptured front, wall-to-wall carpeted trunk, front seats individually 
adjustable to your personal comfort. And with it all, the practicality of Renault engineering, the sure-footedness of геаг- 
engine traction. The Caravelle can be your one-and-only car. Certainly, it will be your favorite one!

“The new Rover 3-Litre is prob- 
ably the most luxurious ‘small’ 
car in the world. The Rover has 
been designed for quiet, long life 
and driving ease. The immacu- 
late leather and walnut interior 
reflects the British company's 
policy of using only the best ma- 
terial, where it shows and where 
it does not, as well. The Rover 
shares twenty-odd points of me- 
chanical similarity with the 
Rolls-Royce, and every knowl- 
edgeable tester who drives a 
Rover inevitably compares it 
with that make. It's one of the 
world’s great ears. ss rou 1 ramov

they were romping across nightclub floors 
during the eight weeks they spent shoot- 
the film in Las Vegas (PLAYBOY, Meet- 
ing al the Summit, June 1960). The 
movie is best when the fivesome (aided 
by Akim Tamiroff, Richard Conte and 
Cesar Romero) doesn’t take the script 
seriously, which is about half thc time. 
The rest is dull stuff. The film never 
builds up much suspense over the multi- 
million-dollar robbery of the five big- 
t Vegas casinos. With a less alluring, 
less skilled cist, the movie might inspir 
shouts of “robbery” from the audience, 
but Sinatra and buddies manage to as- 
sure some fun — and certain box-office 
profits. For the record, Dean and Sammy 
contribute a good song apiece. Frank 
saves his tonsils for another day. 

The Thirty-Nine Steps, Alfred Hitchcock's 
mid-Thirties thriller that starred Robert 
Donat and Madeleine Carroll, has been 
updated in a current British version 
simply by substituting missiles for poison 
gas as the key element in the basic spy 
стап етеш. A civil servant, Kenneth 
More, becomes the patsy in trying to 
track down an espionage ring headed by 
plotting professor Barry Jones. More, in 
flight from Jones’ gang, hides under the 
protective wing of a giant-sized nymph — 
Brenda de Banzie — and gets involved 
with a girls-school gym  instrucuess, 
Taina Elg, before demolishing the forc: 
of evil. The color is excellent, the direc- 
tion fast-paced, the characters carefully 
wrought. With deference to the purists 
who can't forget the original, we recom 
mend the new Steps as a step in the 
right direction.

The amalgam at Chicago's Club Alabam 
(747 Rush) is probably unique in the 
world. The entertainment — ork and 
floorshow, which alternate continuously 
fom 9:30 PM. to 4 А.м. —is strictly 
honky-tonk from Prohibition days. Small

at some length, and most pleasantly, in 
a brightly-burnished new album, Pleyboy's 
Penthouse (Everest). Coleman, to us, has 
always been the prototype of the better 
supper club pianist — inventive, techni- 
cally proficient, and possessed of the in- 
nate good taste that separates the note 
pickers from the note grabbers. The 
Playboy's Penthouse theme, penned and 
played by Coleman for our TV show, 
kicks off proceedings in a muted vein 
that is sustained throughout. Not that 
Coleman is averse to the upbeat; Kiss 
and Run, Lulw’s Back in Town and 
Top Hat, White Tie and Tails move — 
but with a restraint that is almost а fet- 
ish with him. Top Hat, incidentally, 
features а scintillating contrapuntal 
melody handled by the brass — a refresh- 
ing approach to what has bcen, up tiil 
now, one of our most unfavorite ever 
greens. 


Around Midnight (Liberty) marks Julie 
London's eleventh album. The girl with 
the world’s sexiest stage whisper shows 
no signs of slackening oft in either quan- 
tity or quality, however. The albums’ 
pitchmen may have run out of copy for 
the liner notes by now, but we can still 
think of a few choice adjectives to de- 
scribe Julie's efforts this outing — sensi- 
tive, sensuous, sad and sultry. Miss Lon- 
доп siren songs to the night people are 
backed here by а mood-music orchestra, 
under the reins of Dick Reynolds, that 
tinkles, moans, sweeps and subsides in all 
the right pla попа the languorous 
lullabies guaranteed to make you think 
of anything but sleep are Вий Not for 
Me, In the Wee Small Hours of the 
Morning and Misty. The rest 
in mood; the words and melodi 
change but the over-all meaning is per- 
fectly dear. 


There are only about ten Fleta guitars 
made each year in Barcelona, Spain. If 
the other nine are in as good hands as the 
one currently held by Charlie Byrd. 
the 1959 production has been well dis- 
tributed. Byrd, who studied with Andres 
Segovia (he blows a Fleta, too), picked 
up the guitar during a 
with the Woody Herman band last y 
he's been strumming it impeccably ev 
since. Joined by bassist Keter Betts and 
drummer Bertell Knox — two of Byrd's 
cohorts in the Washington, D.C. 
sphere — Ше guitarist devotes his 
LP, Cherlie Byrd Trio (Ollbcat), to a dilly 
of a dozen tunes. Among them are Who 
Cares, How Long Has This Been Going 
On, Prelude to а Kiss, Gypsy in My Soul, 
several blues and a Funky Flamenco 
Free of the intruding horns that wer 
present on his previous discs, Byrd zips

ELLINGTON: Since playing ап instrament 
is a matter of skill and coordination, 
it seems to me that a man's best per- 
formance would be when he had com- 
plete control of his faculties. 
сопел: A musician is first of all keep

is reading music. He is attuned to what 
the musician next to him is playing.

He may think he sounds good, but to the

xrorr: In other words, although we're

the only way то get а useful discussion

is che myth that И you're оп you can't

спали: From what Гуе observed,

don't believe that those high points are

often. And there are so many low 
points. I've seen musicians so letharg 
under the influence of drugs that they 
tend to be very lax, and don't have the 
awareness and sharpness to perform. 
rLAYBOY: You all seem to be pretty

drugs and others can't, but in general 
а musician's quality is not improved 1

"TAYLOR: One thing that drives guys cither 
to drink or to dope is the one-nighter 
You make You're 
working with big bands— so you work 
tonight in Bangor, Maine, and you've got 
a one-nighter scheduled right after that 
ig, and you have to get in the bus and 
go out to Minneapolis. You're driving 
to the gig, and then you've got to drive 
all day and you barely make it in time 
for the ones ve been sitting 
up in the bus; the only time you have 
off is to go to the john or get something 
to cat, and you're dirty, you're sweaty 
you've got to go right on — and the peo- 
ple are all freshly shaved and freshly 
showered, all the girls look nice and you 
feel like a dog. And the spotlight is on 
you—and you need а shave, vou [ecl 
terrible, you don't want to go near апу 
body because you fecl you smell li 
xam. And this kind of thing, when you 
do it night in and night out — it's under- 
standable why a musician would want to 
find some “out,” some sort of relief, to 
make him feel good, too. 

KENTON: It's hard for the average person 
who isn’t in creative work to know what 
a terrible insecurity exists within some 
one who has dared to be different, and 
you have to dare to be different if you're 
going to create anything fresh. To just 
conform and belong to a group in a 
pattern of living is not creativity. And 
believe me, when you deviate and move 
away from this group, and you start try- 
ing to do something fresh and create 
some new things, the insccurity can be 
terrifying. Гус seen people just tremble 
— people that were creative — their very 
bodies showed this terrible fear. It's aw- 
fully easy for someone to grab a drink 
sometimes to bolster himself, or even do 
other things sometimes to help beat this 
monster that really is a suffocating: thing. 
Every time Гус ever met anyone in a 
creative field who was flamboyant and 
absolutely sure of himself. I've always 
discovered there really wasn't any valid 
talent in his existence. 

PLAYBOY: We seem to be getting to some- 
thing quite basic here, a feeling that the

dence that way. 


c. appraey: It takes а certain. kind of 
individual to be a user of any kind of 
drug. 


cones: Yes, a personality deficiency іп 
certain individuals leads to drug addic- 
tion, and usually their personalities are 
pretty much the same. You ст almost 
spot them. There is a specific pattern. 
That's Cannonball's point. There is no 
necessity that induces а man to become 
a narcotics addict. There is a psycho- 
logical problem which weakens him to 
the point where he may think of nar- 
cotics as an escape mechanism for him. 
TAVLOR: When | was coming up, some 
of the very, very famous people were 
acknowledged dope addicts. And the 
common feeling among certain small 
oups of young musicians was that if 
you wanted to play like this guy you 
had to get high like he did. 

гоним: 1 know a tragic case—of two 
high school students who started off with 
band, and a musician who played the 
same instrument persuaded them they 
could improve, and become equal to the 


other men in the band, by using nar- 
cotics

pLaynioy: Billy Taylor seems to be sug- 


tion is sure 


esting that the newer crop of young 
musicians may have a greater awareness 


of the dangers of addiction and may 
hence be wary of trying drugs. We know, 
too, that the goto hell attitude — the 
sell-destructive attitude — of а dozen or 
so years ago provided a climate, even an 
excuse, for addiction, as though it were 
а romantic rejection of the mundane 
world. There are undoubtedly perform- 
ing musicians today who fell under that 
arlier spell. Lets hear what Dr. Charles 
Winick, а rexsuch authority оп drugs,

of the Musicians’ Clinic has to say about

musicians? Most of them, I'm quite sure, 
are still taking heroin. 

GILL : Now you know about how 
many musicians 1 know — thousands and 
thousands. Well, right now I can't think 
of over five, maybe six or seven musicians 
who I know are using heroin. And it 
gets around, because if you need a re- 
Placement in your band, and you say 
“What do you think about so-and-so? 
— one of your musicians will say, “You 
know, he's messing around with it.“ Be- 
cause they don't want the heat on them. 
Because there's heat on everybody соп.

vou go into. there's like one guy you

in vour band hanging out with him vou 
tell him, "Wait а minute!” And these. 
are not musicians, for the most part 
They are hippies who hang out with 
musicians. Like once upon a time there 
used to be a crowd of guys who used 
to hang out in front of Birdland. Occa-

stuff, he doesn’t spend too much. time 
with a guy that's not going to buy. He'll 
say "Hi" and “Hey, Daddy," and that 
—and then he'll cut on out and you'll 
see him hanging out with the guy who’ 
using the stuff. And if it's somebody in 
my band, 1 fire him on the spot. A nar-

a half before there was a big article 
about a bebop musician getting busted,

his teacher, and I don't know him.

was the end of my engagement and |

urntorr: The so-called bebop musician 
— which was a phrase, as I recall, that 
was invented by publicity guys — began 
lo take the place of stripteasers and 
wife murderers as a thing to have Sun

more. In all my publicity, when they 
want to say bebop, 1 say no. 

DR. WINIC think there's no doubt that 
this does make hot сору, but there's also 
no doubt that there are a considerable 
number of jazz musicians who have been, 
and are, drug users, that jazz musicians 
themselves, by voluntarily or otherwise 
associating themselves with narcotics 
themes, by making dozens and dozens of 
records dealing with narcotics themes —— 
nenrorr; But that happened before bop. 
You're thinking of, like, The Viper? 

ок. WINICK: There were 
ords in the 1930s, and there were also 
such records in the 1940s and the 1950s, 
right up to the present time. 

nestor: But it was mostly the older 
guys who made them — guys who were 
lushes, as a matter of fact. 

$. ADDERLEY: J think that right now there 
may be some association in the public 
mind beuween jazz and the beatnil

like a limited income — makes it neces- 
sary, then a guy can get by with, say, one 
shot a day. Life just prevents him from 
taking more than one shot a day. So it is 
possible for some addicts to go through 
life relatively undetected, One of the 
country’s leading ophthalmic surgeons 
here in New York died a ye. 
He was the chief surgeon doing eye 
surgery for forty yeurs at a major New 
York hospital. Everyone. knew that he 
was an opiate ad been Гог 
forty years. Н а person had the money 
for it, there is no reason why he couldn't 
take drugs — he'd need, say, $100 а week 
to spend, ог 512 K. and go un- 
detected. Гог years.

got any large sum of money, they really 
went hog wild. They'd just say. “Oh, my 
goodness, E got this money, I'm gonna 
buy up all of this. Tomorrow will be 
later on, I'm gonna buy it all and shoot 
it all up пош.” 
nENTOFE: Well the reason is clear. Un- 
like that surgeon, they don't have, first 
of all, a steady, substantial income; they 
don't have the easy access to drugs that 
the surgeon has. And the whole socio: 
logical context is dillerent.

didn't do, so 1 graduated to heroi

TELEVISION 


THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 


ГЕ an old hand at playing the field, 
and I generally know how to handle 
most situations. but here's a toughy that's 
new to me. At dinner the other night, а 
friend and his wife happened to come 
into the restaurant and, at my invita- 
tion, joined me and a new date for a 
drink. The girls got on so well that we 
had dinner together. After dinner, my 
friend and his wife asked us if we'd 
spend the weekend as their guests in the 
exurbs, and we accepted the impromptu 
invitation. My problem is this: I've been 
to this couples weekend parties and 
practically all the guests were married. 
Those that weren't always had ап аг- 
rangement, and it was taken for granted 
that they'd share a room. I don't know 
the girl I'm going with that well — yet 
and I don't know whether to tip her off, 
consult my host, or just play it cool and 
see what happens. Any comments? — 
Т. I., New York, New York. 

This situation, while unusual, is not 
unique. It calls for high-level diplomacy 
of the first order, however. We have to 
assume that (a) the girl is not an out-and- 
out prude or she would not have ac- 
cepted the invitation to begin with, and 
(b) she must enjoy your company enough 
to shave a weekend with you. Therefore, 
we suggest you broach the subject first 
with the girl—but delicately. You can 
say there’s been some misunderstanding 
and your hosts hove provided only one 
room for the two of you and you'll cer- 
tainly do your best to straighten things 
out, but if there just isn't the extra space 
available, well that'll kill off what looked 
like a first-rate pastoral weekend. You 
have now gambited the matter neatly 
into her hands. She 15 faced with the 
alternative of one room or no weekend. 
If she demuss on your hosts’ space-saving 
plan, you've sacrificed nothing and saved 
yourself a lost weekend in the country. 
If she goes along, well, your only prob- 
lem will be to remember to take a nice 
gift for your very thoughtful hosts. 


Е ии was going along nicely 
with my girl until she asked for a 
cocktail called The Yellow Fever. When 
1 admitted I'd never heard of it, she sug- 
gested I join the cubes іп my refriger- 
ator. Was she putting me on or did I 
goof? — А. W., Newport, Rhode Island. 
You goofed. The Yellow Fever consists 
of one ounce of yellow Chartreuse on the 
rocks in ап old fashioned glass, plus the 
juice of one half of a chilled lime. Stir. 


с origins of the titles of jazz tunes 
often intrigue me. Can you tell me 
how King Porter Stomp got its name? — 
T. В. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
"King Porter Stomp," according to 


composer Jelly Roll Morton, was named 
for “а very good friend of mine and а 
marvelous pianist now in the cold, cold 
ground, a gentleman from Florida, an 
educated gentleman with a wonderful 
musical education, much better than 
mine, and this gentleman's name was Mr. 
King, Porter King." Unlike this sort of 
dedication, some jazz tunes are titled 
quite casually. Like the night at the 
Reno Club in Kansas City in 1935, 
when the Count Basie band was closing 
out a radio set with one of tts riffs. When 
the announcer asked for the title, Basie 
glanced at the clock and said, “Just call 
it the ‘One O'Clock Jump. 


A” six years ago I worked for a 

firm in another city and got fairly 
deeply involved with опе of the secre- 
taries (yes, yes, I know — you shouldn't 
mix business with pleasure). I've had 
good luck since: a job here in a new 
town with many opportunities, frequent 
promotions, hefty raises. Now, the old 
firm wants me back—in an executive 
position and at a handsome salary. I 
want the new job, but I've found out 
the old flame is still there and has con- 
fided to a friend and former colleague of 
mine that she's heard about the offer I 
got and is planning a big welcome for 
me. In retrospect, I guess I may have 
made some vague promises about mar- 
аве. But I've outgrown the girl, lost 
interest in her, and certainly don’t want 
her jeopardizing my business career or — 
to be frank —lousintz up my bachelor 
ife. How do I handle this sticky wicket? 
— B. P., Des Moines, Iowa. 

Cheer up, friend, the wicket is not 
nearly as sticky as you might think. Six 
years is a long time and certainly some 
sort of a romantic statute of limitations 
сап be applied in this case. If she hasn't 
found another guy at this late date, it 
isn't because she's been waiting for you; 
she had no way of knowing you'd be 
coming back. In fact, rumors to the con- 
trary and male ego notwithstanding, you 
may find, after you see each other, that 
the feelings of apathy are mutual. Take 
the new and better job, and if she asks 
any questions or makes any demands, be 
candid with her. It’s kinder in the long 
run. 


it possible to order prints directly 

from the Louvre, or from other famous 
art museums in Europe? — J. J., Seattle, 
Washington. 

Certainly you can, but there's no need 
to foot import duty and poslage costs 
when you cam secure almost any print 
you wish right here — from your local art 
museum, art galleries, decorators or 
major department stores. They all have 


facilities for ordering the prints you 
want and supplying them to you at a 
price less than that you'd pay if you en- 
tered into international correspondence 
for them, 


ММ is the protocol of the corsage? 
How formal does a social occa- 
sion have to be in order to require a 
corsage for my date? Do I haye the florist 
send it or do I take it with me? How do 
I know if the corsage I select will har- 
monize with my girl’s dress? Is it OK to 
ask her what color dress she's wearing? — 
R. D., Buffalo, New York. 

We are inclined to consider the whole 
corsage business as a bothersome antedi- 
luvian holdover. There are several situ- 
ations, however, in which the corsage is 
de rigueur, and one of them is the for- 
mal dance. But even these affairs are 
getting less formal, and the giving of 
flowers more discretionary. If you insist 
on playing the courtly beau, here are 
some rules of the road. Don't go over- 
board; a small corsage is the safe move 
no matter what the size of the female or 
how formal the affair to which you're 
squiring her. Send the corsage, by all 
means; it’s a timesaver and avoids the 
awkward “For me? It's bee-ooti-fu 
business. It's ап adventurous (and fool- 
hardy) guy who doesn't find out the color 
of his girl's dress before financing the 
floral offering: besides, she may have an 
allergy and say no to flowers altogether. 
Incidentally, one of the posher arbiters 
of the social graces considers the use of 
the word “corsage” (instead of “flowers” ) 
as veddy plebeian, but we have nothing 
against the word, just the custom. 


A" there particular times when a 
breast-pocket handkerchief is essen- 
tial? And should it be squared, pointed 
or just leisurely gathered? Also, is a col- 
ored handkerchief appropriate? — M. N., 
Miami, Florida. 

The breast pocket handkerchief is al- 
ways appropriate and — oftentimes — es- 
sential as well. White is the preferred. 
color, although silk squares in neat pat- 
terns add a spark to that solid suit. As 
for folding, select the technique in terms 
of your physical type. II you're slender, 
the squared [014 is fine. If you're short, 
the pointed ends are most effective. If 
you're tall, try the leisurely-gathered 
method.

the killer came thundering toward its prey, a hundred feet a second 
fiction By T. K. BROWN III 


THE VAST AREA KNOWN AS THE GREAT PLAINS Of the United States is a belt about six hundred miles 
wide between the Mississippi River and the mountains of Wyoming and Colorado. An ocean of land, 
mostly flat, sometimes with waves of hills, it rises in swells to the west, a dozen feet to the mile, league 
after league of earth becoming gradually more arid, until it is a mile above the sea. And then sud- 
denly, west of Denver, it gives up its gradual climb. The escarpments of the Rocky Mountains burst 
from the plain and leap into the air, tier upon tier as far as the eye can reach, to snow and glacier. 

"The first row of these tremendous hills is known as the Rampart Range. Over the crest of this 
range, in the trough between it and the higher one beyond, lived a man who had got rid of his woman 
who was bad for him, had manned an eagle, and had found himself. 

He was on the side lawn, by the hawk house, the peregrine on his glove and tearing the pigeon 
from his fingers, when he saw the convertible speeding up the valley toward the house, a plume of 
dust behind it. He knew immediately who was driving the convertible and that this was the difficult 
hour he had been expecting for almost a year. He eased the bird to the perch, where, with the food 
under her foot, she continued to pluck and rend. He limped down the slope to the driveway. As the 
car pulled around the circle he saw that she was wearing the green Alpine hat with the rakish white 
feather, his gift to her in Innsbruck. What had he said to her then, those three thousand years ago? 
To Marian, maid, in everlasting; пот Robin. Well, it was typical of her to wear it now. 

He was at the car when it stopped. 

“Good afternoon, Marian," he said, without smiling. “Are you planning оп a little visit? I see 
you have two bags in the back seat." 

A little frown crossed her face and he knew he had disrupted the opening lines she had been 
rehearsing all the way from Denver. 

He continued: “You would come back, you said, when I asked you to come back, and not before. 
But I have not asked you to come back. Why are you here?" 

She got slowly from the car, with the ancient grace and easy command that now no longer com- 
manded him; and when she was standing even with him on the lawn her huge eyes searched his face, 
trying to pierce him, and then dropped to his leg. 

"You sent for me," she said, and raised her hand a little from her side, to point where she was 
looking. That happened to you day-before-yesterday, about three. Oh Robin, it came to me that 
you'd been hurt, as clearly as if you'd sent me a wire. I thought at first a car had hit you, but then I 
knew it wasn't that. But something dark and heavy and dangerous hitting you in the leg." 

What she said was true, to the very hour. A sort of terror struck him, that he would never be free 
of this incredible woman whose intuition could reach out from a distance and fiercely take posses- 
sion of him. 

It must have shown in his face. That's why I'm here,” she said. “I had to come. If we still have 
this thing — Robin, no other two people have this thing. We can't just throw it away after a stupid 
quarrel. Or anyway, it isn't so bad that we shouldn't talk about it a little, 1s it?" 

“You put me in a difficult position, Marian," he answered. There's nothing to talk about. We 
had a good thing for a while, and it blew up, and there's nothing left of it except a lot of memories, 
some very good, some not so good. And,” he added, “apparently this crazy radar of yours.” 

A good thing for a while,’ she quoted, letting her eyes go damp and tender. Robin, how can 
you put it like that? For three years we were one person. One person in two bodies.” 

"Yes," he said. “You were the person, I was one of the bodies.” 

“You say there’s nothing to talk about. But you see, we are talking already, and on a very essen- 
tial level. Robin, let me stay for a few days.” 

He knew he had nothing to lose, and it was easier than being cruel. He turned and called, John!“ 

John appeared at the door of the hawk house. He was a young man of twenty and a full-blooded 
Cheyenne. His grandfather, when a boy of sixteen, had helped cut down Custer on the Little Big 


Horn, and John’s father, on the reservation in South Dakota, still 
had a pair of cavalry boots and some ancient dollar bills to prove it. i n M М у 
John had gone to а white grammar school; later he had worked 
in a gas station outside Denver, where Robin had found him and 
made him his foreman. John, Robin said, come get Miss Marian's

her to her old room. And tell Mrs. Em 
len we'll have cocktails in about half 
an hour." 

John came slowly down the slope. wip- 
ing his hands on a rag that he then put 
in his hip pocket. His eyes said nothing 
as he hoisted the bags from the back seat. 

"Hello, Jobn," Marian said. "How 
have you been?" 

“The Cooper's is still bating,” John 
said to Robin. “Been throwing itself off 
the perch all day. Nothing I can do will 
stop it." 

"Don't worry about it,” Robin said. 
“They get these spells." 

Marian had started up the lawn 
toward the house. 

That woman's no good for you, boss,” 
John said. 

“She won't be here long,” Robin said. 
“Now take those bags in while I finish 
feeding the peregrine, and we'll have a 
look at the Cooper's hawk. Maybe there's 
а scrap of meat in the mews that is set- 
ting her off.” 

In the living room with the two pic 
ture windows, one giving on the shad- 
owed valley, one showing now the stark 
outline of the mountains against the 
sunset, she had taken up her old posi- 
tion on the couch, legs stretched out on 
it, back pillowed against the arm; and 
she was balancing her drink on her knee, 

“Robin,” she asked, “what was it that 
hurt your Пер?” 

He was at the bar stirring a martini. 
“An eagle," he said, without turning. 
“1 have manned an eagle" Now he

Lucky thing 1 had my leather аргоп on. 
But it'll be all right in a couple of days." 

She was staring at him in amazement. 
“You?” she said. "You are training an 
eagle? But that's impossible!” 

"Not at all," he replied. "Quite a few 
eaples have been manned for hunting. 
То be sure, very few of this particular 
brand of eagle." 

“I don't mean that," she said. "I 
mean, you. You were always so shocked 
lence and cruelty . . . so afraid 
she stated. 

he said calmly. "Well уез. 
Afraid is the word for a lot of things I 
was of. It feels very good to be out of 
that dismal swamp at last.” 

“Afraid of me, Robin?” she whispered. 

"Of course I was afraid of you," he 
said strenuously. “Afraid of you most 
of all. You embodied everything that 
was wrong with my life. It was so easy 


to go along with the way you wanted 
things—so casy and so pleasant. ‘The 
trouble was that it made me hate my- 
self. Well, I've got away from that." 

“I have never meant you any harm, 
Robin,” she said. “You know that.” She 
was looking not at him but at the drink 
balanced on her knee. Now she twitched 
her kneecap and caught the glass as it 
slid into her waiting hand. “We had 
something very wonderful. If Гус come 
back, it's not to truss you up and carry 
you off. It's to find out, I guess, how 
tough a fight it will be to get that Та 
back And maybe we'l never get it 
back — I've faced that, too." 

She turned her head and stared at him 
апа said strongly, "It wasn't easy for 
me to come back, Robin. Even when I 
Бог the message about your hurt my first 
reaction was, let him come to me. But I 
couldn't live with that. That was small, 
that was pride. So 1 came to you." 

"Wearing that Tyrolean hat," he in- 
terjected, "with all its cargo of nostalgia 
and tender memory. Was that neces- 
sary? Wasn't that a bit phony?” 

“Nol” she cried. “That was to remind 
you of what we were in danger of 
losing!" 

Well, it reminded me,” he said. Mar- 
ian, do you remember when my firm was 
invited to bid on that housing project 
in Colombo, Ceylon? And you talked me 
out of it —such a long way to go, such 
a small chance of getting the contract? 
So we went skiing in Austria. Do you 
remember the million-dollar shopping 
center in Atlanta wc might have got? 
But it was such a filthy climate in Au- 
gust, you said. So we stayed in bed and 
had champagne for breakfast. And how 
many other times when you tempted me 
to make the less responsible choice. Well, 
that’s what I'm in danger of losing. I've 
got the architect business back on a 
sound footing now. I give it my time and 
it gives me money and spiritual satis- 
faction. No green bat is going to change 
my mind about whether I am losing 
something or gaining something." 

"Goodness, Robin," she said іп a tiny 
voice. "You do sound determined. Will 
you call the constable and have me put 
ош?" 

“No,” he said. I'm not afraid of you 
any more." 


She visited him that night. 

He was lying awake, letting his mind 
stray up and down their last furious quar- 
rcl and parting, hearing again the final 
things he had said — weighing them in 
his emotions, to make sure that they still 
rang sound, and finding no regret, no 
wish to turn back. She opened his door 
softly, uninvited by any word or nuance, 
and came to his bed. She was naked. 

“For auld lang syne, Robin, it would 
be sweet to lie with you again.” 

She took her place beside him; she 


simply took it. And — was it reflex? was 
it something stronger? — he put his arms 
around her. 

“Ah, Robin!” she said. “I know you 
must have been thinking about us. Baby, 
let it simmer awhile on the back of the 
stove. It will smooth out and the an- 
swers will come." 

“The answers have already come,” he 
said. 

She began to search his face with ber

hair, his eye, his nost

And she did her best to put sand 
under all his foundations in that hour. 

She was gay at breakfast. Apparently 
she felt that she had gained command. 
"What are we going to do today, dar-

to do,” he said, “but I have a day's hard

'Oh, I forgot, that happened after you

a mile up the road — office building, 
guest house, and quarters for the staff. 
Very fine advertisement for the sort of 
buildings we can design. We still have 
a small liaison office in Denver, but now 
the customers come to us.” 

“I see," she said. She laughed ner- 
vously. “I guess it was stupid of me to 
think everything would be the same. 
After all, it's been nearly three years. Ї

from what you said yesterday that train-

“из my hobby, not my life," he said. 
“What ever gave you that crazy idea? 
Since you left I've become a working 
man.” 

He took the car up the road to the 
office. By noon be had sewed up the 
contract for the restaurant in Colorado 
Springs. The other client telephoned to 
say he would have to postpone his visit 
for a week. Robin had lunch with Alison

but obviously destined for higher status.

"If Hollywood is dead or 
erhaps the followin 


My first bosses in Hollywood (1925) were Jesse Lasky and В. Р. Schulberg, heads of Paramount Studios. 
I wrote an opus for them called Underworld — the first gangster picture. Hector Turnbull produced it. 
George Bancroft, Clive Brook and Evelyn Brent starred in it. Messrs. Lasky, Schulberg, Turnbull, Bancroft, 
Brook and Miss Brent are dead. 

When I look at Hollywood, I see chiefly a line of hearses carting off heroes and heroines, wazirs and earth- 
shakers. What a noise they made, and what fast exits. You saw them one day hopping around full of glitter 
and glory. Came another dawn and they were gone. 

"Тһе illusion was they all died young. Half of them did. But the people of the movies don’t grow old. 
‘They don’t even mature. Whatever their years, when they keel over they all seem to fall out of the same lusty 
chorus line. 

Lasky, dying, was the same fellow I had met thirty years earlier — pink-cheeked, popeyed, naive as a por- 
poise and quivering with the hallucination that the movies were a great art. The mighty Schulberg, brought 
Jow in his final years, was still the pipe-smoking, Byronic ex-newspaperman I had met on my first sortie into the 
celluloid capital. 

I helped cast my first picture. Producer Turnbull showed me a hundred stills of possible heroines. I 
picked the one with the largest bosom. 1 was sure of my ground because there were по falsies in those days. 
In fact, there was an anti-bosom mania in the land at this time, not shared by me, which caused the Holly- 
wood sirens to flatten themselves out like hoecakes. Why, God knows. It may have been the first wave of 
Lesbianism sweeping the republic. There was such a whooping for female purity going on in this silent-pic- 
ture era that one felt something sinister must be at the back of іг. But I am not certain. 

For my gangster hero-villain I picked Bancroft. I watched him acting on the set of White Gold, a movie 
about sheep. William K. Howard was directing it. Howard was one of the first artistic souls driven to drink 
by the idiocies of moviemaking. My Chicago newspaper compañero, Wallace Smith, wrote for Howard. Wal- 
lace was a fellow of parts — artist, story-writer and fine journalist. He was also driven to drink. Howard and 
Smith both died young. Alcoholism. 

I picked Bancroft to play Bull Weed, the gangster scourge of Chicago, because he looked like the gun- 
men I had known as a reporter. He turned out to be as unlike them as a Methodist bishop. Despite the strong, 
wicked look he could put on and the ruthless leer he had for the cameras, he was a childlike human, mild 
spirited and fanatically obedient. I learned later that most of the actors who specialized in villain parts were 
of this stripe, as perhaps were those who cooked up the bloodthirsty yarns in which they performed. 

But I started counting hearses, Whoever has known Hollywood since its silent days and is still able to 
huff and puff and look around, can see as long a line of last chariots as can I. But ГП stick to my own litany, 
and beat my own drum. I count only the men and women who were involved in the seventy movies I have 
written for Hollywood. 

I imagine that most of those connected with the silents and early talkies I wrote are underground. 1 
recall chiefly Chester Conklin, who starred in Тһе Big Noise; Erich von Stroheim, who starred in Тһе Great 
Gabbo; Lionel Barrymore, who directed Тһе Green Ghost; Myron Selznick, who was my first agent and horn- 
swoggled the studios out of great sums for my works. АП dead. 

Conklin and his whole tribe have disappeared. Harry Langdon, Ben Turpin, Charlie Chase, Fatty 
Arbuckle and a dozen more are dead. The survivors, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, are also 
out of play as comedians. 

The talkies harpooned them all, for an obvious reason. Writers are not as funny as clowns. We can make 
0 comic situations and amusing lines, but even with the Marx Brothers playing them they come out half 

lapdoodle. 
расой. was another factor: when Ше talkies came the bosses took comedy making out of the comedians’ 
hands. They "improved" it by putting in wailing tenors nobly in love with unhappy ingenues, and adding a 
chorus line of flying crotches. And laughter turned up its toes. 

But it is one of Hollywood's brightest laurels — that during the great decades of its silents it made the 

world laugh as never before in history. 


dying As А МОМЕМАКЕВ, 
ARE SOME Of The REASONS.’ 


.. KKB Ву Бен Несін 


My first talkie director, Von Stroheim, was a rarity in the movies. He was actually what he pretended to 
be — an aficionado of wickedness. His bedside reading was the report of lurid sex matters by Krafft-Ebing. He 
dreamed of bringing all the fancy perversions to the screen. As they often say of dreamers, he was ahead of 
his time. 

The silents were as void of sex as a tomato-can label. The villain was always trying to seduce the heroine, 
but missing by a mile. Occasionally, an unfaithful husband appeared ina plot. He invariably ended up a rav- 
ing alcoholic with his business shot and his collar undone, crawling back on hands and knees to a forgiving 
wife. 

A British visitor named Elinor Glyn tried to awaken Hollywood to the possibilities of sex — on the screen. 
of course. Outside the realm of art, the town could have shown Madame Glyn cards and spades on the subject. 

La Glyn had written a novel. Three Weeks, in which a high-minded but glandularly disturbed London 
girl lay in a clinch with a Russian duke for twenty-one days. They favored a polar-bear rug for their arena 
d'amour. The authoress was imported at great expense as an expert. 

I never worked with Madame Glyn but my bride, Rose Caylor, did. They collaborated on an opus called 
Ritzy for the It Girl, Clara Bow. Though lacking a polar-bear rug, it was a good picture and in the right direc- 
tion. It made the bold statement that a girl who went to bed with a man before marrying him did not have to 
commit suicide or enter a convent. 

I was less successful as a sex emancipator. In the hearses I count is my first movie collaborator — Michael 
Arlen. He was another London import. We worked on a story called (by us) American Beauty. In it, we 
advanced the theory that a bright young woman could emerge from three sex affairs and still be fit to marry 
our hero. But we had gone too far. The script startled the sultans in the front office. 

“We can’t afford to alienate our movie audiences by telling them the truth about themselves,” said 
Schulberg. 

That's the way things were in the Twenties. Ninety percent of our functioning citizens were leading 
impure lives but were firmly on the side of the ten percent who weren't. The only thing you could get away 
with on the screen was murder. The same American who organized societies to keep the screen free of sex 
hanky-panky sat happily chewing his butterscotch bars and applauding a picture in which the cast extermi- 
nated one another with guns, knives, poisons, hand grenades and brutal torture devices. 

One of the oddities I found in the movies of the Twenties was the male star known as a screen lover. He 
did all the kissing and women swooned over him — on the screen. Millions of women іп the audiences also 
swooned over him and cuddled his image in their lonely minds. 

Top man among the screen lovers was Rudolph Valentino. As a reporter, I had interviewed him in Chi- 
cago. Dorothy de Frasso (Countess) told me his story when I got to Hollywood. She had fished him out of a 
New York dance hall where he was one of the “ten-cents-a-dance” male partners. They had everything in the 
early days of the century, including a first-rate World War. 

Unable to get him a job in movie town, De Frasso engaged him herself as an extra waiter at her black-tie 
shindigs. Director Fred Niblo, one of her guests, spotted the soup server and invited him to the studio for a 
screen test, 

“Tt made him a great man, іп а мау,” said De Frasso, “the cute bastard went up and up. There must have 
been a hundred million women in the world of assorted ages all dreaming of going to bed with Valentino. 
And the poor boy used to cry on my shoulder over his miserable love life. Тһе woman he loved didn't love 
him. He confessed it was partly his fault. All the publicity hoopla about his being the greatest lover of the 
screen had raised hell with his nervous system so that he was fast becoming a washout in the hay.” 

As Epictetus said, you can't have everything. 

"This was and still remains one of the occupational hazards for movie actors. Off-screen sex in Hollywood 
is usually in the hands, so to speak, of the town's agents and producers. Having no talent to confuse or side- 
track their glands, nor fame enough to stun them, they are creditable bedroom performers. 

А bevy of actor names, living and dead, cry "foul" to these findings. Chief among them is dashing Leslie 
Howard. My apologies to Leslie. And to Tommy Meighan, Norman Kerry, et al. (continued on page 130)

THE MORE 1 THOUGHT ABOUT тт, the more 
the whole bit with Seena seemed like an 
experiment in masochism. 

Mine. 

What else but masochism to want to 
marry a high-strung, stubborn, intro- 
verted, unpredictable, neurotic, gorge- 
ous brunette with a built-in debt factor 
of sixty dams a week? 

Sixty smackers. That was the tidy little 
sum Scena regularly forked over to Sig. 
gie. Siggie, the unseen, Siggie. the omnip- 
otent—he haunted my courtship of 
Scena like a duenna, a jealous suitor, а 
possessive father, He was her analyst. 

Minus sixty bucks a week. What a 
dowry for an underpaid ad copywriter 
like ше! Catastrophic, What was worse 
was having to submit to the ignominy of 
Siggie’s playing Monday-Wednesday-Fri- 
day-night quarterback to Seena’s stream 
of consciousness broadcasts of my strat- 
egy d'amour. 

I needed this like a flat tire on a 
weekend. Still, I was smitten with Seena. 
And, I suppose, for such unrestrained 
emotional commitment you just have to 
suffer. It would have been so much sim- 
pler if, say, ГА decided to woo Alice. 
Now, there was an uncomplicated wench. 

“Zip me up, Freddie, will you?" Alice 
chirped as she fitted into the living 
room of the flat she shared with Seena. 

Zip I did, clumsily. This, then, was 
the condition to which I'd been reduced: 
trusted handmaiden to little Alice 
Alberts, runner-up in the Miss Steeple- 
chase beauty contest of 1954. 1, Fred 
Henley, erstwhile lothario of the office 
мепортарћег pool, Greenwich Village 
Don Juan, slick seductionist of the 


‘Whaler Bar. Unmanned! 

In a rebellious expression of stifled 
virility, I pinched Alice's little rump. 
Even her “ouch” was unsatisfying — the 
mild squeal of annoyance of kid sister 
for big brother. 

“Control yourself, Freddie. Seena will 
be back soon. Her session ends at seven.” 

Alice was a saucy little blonde with a 
quick tongue and а monolithic middle- 
class compulsion; she had to get married 
before she was twenty-five (original 
deadline, twenty-one) to a handsome 
devil with, of course, dough. For such a 
catch and such a catch alone would she 
barter her precariously maintained vir- 
ginity. Perfectly normal, well-brought-up 
American White collar girl — Alice. Not 
neurotic enough for my taste. And she 
wasn't Seena’s cup of Lipton either. 

They'd met at opposite ends of a 
panty girdle during a bargain counter 
tug-of-war at Ohrbach’s. Ever since, their 
tenuous friendship was a test of two-way 
stretch. They were a mismatch from the 
start ~a hasty marriage of expediency 
based on no common interest other than 
that both needed an apartment, and 
neither could afford more than seventy- 
five bucks a month rent. 

The flat which economic necessity 
forced them to share was a high-ceilinged 
job which cried out for Victorian vintage 
furnishings but made do with wrought- 
iron modern culled from Foam Rubber 
Heaven during “unbelievable” clear- 
ance sales. 

"I hear he's a real dreamboat, Alice 
said hopefully, slipping into her coat. 
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if he were?" 

“Another blind date?” 1 groaned.

“Third one this weck. Tell me, sweetie, 
don't you think you try too hard?” 

"I wouldn't talk if I were you," she 
shot back, her face coloring. 

That hit me like a wet towel in the 
face. I suspected that my panting pursuit. 
of the elusive Seena Wickers was becom- 
ing more and more a case of the stupid 
greyhound chasing the mechanical rab- 
bit. But I hadn't rcalized it was quite so 
obvious — least of all to Alice. 

I changed the subject. 

"Good luck," I said half-heartedly, 
“and be careful.” 

“Who wants to be careful?” she said, 
bouncing out like a high school cheer- 
leader. "Besides, I have a hunch tonight 
I'll hit pay dirt.” 

I was glad to see her go. Her untag- 
ging optimism was depressing. I picked. 
up Seena’s copy of The Basic Writings 
of Sigmund Freud, and stuffed myself 
like a colic infant into the black canvas 
diaper pegged on wroughtiron legs, 
which passed for a chair. 

I had done this before — scan the 
sacred. pages of the master — while wait-

couch. The words flew up at me like 
stones cast at an infidel — libido, infan-

be the answers were there, coded in 
psychoanalytical агро. But I couldn't

THE BOSOM 


REVISITS 
PLAYBOY 


WE FIRST MET BRITISH BEAUTY June Wil- 
kinson back in the summer of 1958, when 
she dropped by the Playboy Building in 
Chicago to say hello. We were so taken 
by her English accent and her staggering 
configuration (43-22-36) that we prompt- 
ly called in our photographers to shoot 
the first picture story on the then-teenage 
temptress to appear in a U.S. publication 
(The Bosom, September 1958), in which 
we proclaimed her frontage "the first 
Bosom worthy of a capital В.” Soon after 
her initial trip Stateside (she'd come over 
оп a short-term visitor's permit), June re- 
turned to America and this time trans- 
ported her magnificent measurements 
to Hollywood, where she discovered her 
fame had preceded her in the form of 
the PLAYBOY photo feature. She prompt- 
ly became the most photographed pin- 
up girl in America, a featured actress in 
several films (including T'hunder in the 
Sun and Macumba Love) and subject of 
a second pictorial survey by PLAYBOY 
(The Bosom in Hollywood, August 
1959). The Bosom thus busied herself 
with ever more movie, television and 
personal appearance assignments, but 
she didn't forget her friends in the Windy 
City and she stopped by to say hi again 
recently during a publicity tour through 
the Midwest for one of her latest flicks; 
then she took time out to repay PLAYBOY 
for past favors by welcoming guests for a 
week at the newly launched Playboy 
Club and appearing on Playboy's Pent- 
house. June had a ball the entire time. 
And, as these photos suggest, so did we. 


Left: а new, blondified June Wilkinson, fresh from 
Hollywood hoorays, posed for the PLAYBOY photag just 
two years after she mode her debut in these pages. 


Above: when June first visited us, we were smitten by 
her dramatic dimensions and shot this photo of the 
tempting teenage treat in the Playboy Building. 


Above: between scenes on Playboy's Penthouse, June put 
her magnificent measurements to work, balancing two full 
glosses of champagne to the delight of the entire TV cast.

tucked into the “trap,” the pie pan of its time, by cooks with unbridled 
imaginations. À typical recipe, circa 1394, lists pie ingredients including: 
pheasant, bear, capon, partridge, pigeon, rabbit, chopped liver, heart, sheep 
kidneys, eggs, pickled mushrooms, salt, spices and vinegar. In the Seven-

table with meticulous fanfare, opened ceremoniously and rarely forgotten. 
Out of the pie leaped live frogs. squirrels, terriers, foxes and, as we all know, 
four-and-twenty blackbirds. On at least one occasion, a dwarf — armed with 
sword and buckler — popped out to run the length of the banquet table, 
dueling an imaginary foe along the way. The serving of pie continued to be 
a gala affair for years, with pie-baking a basic part of every holiday celebra- 
tion. All was serene in the dough domain until Oliver Cromwell came into 
power. In a puritan outburst, he banned the eating of pie as an obvious form 
of pleasure verging on idolatry. For sixteen years pies were bootlegged at 
best, until 1660 when the Restoration leaderslifted the ban. Fager to resume 
pie-producing festivities, the English devised a brand-new pie — baked in 
a round tin with all ingredients "'minc'd." This was the pie that made its 
way to America aboard pioneer ships. The pastry and pie fillings were old- 
English style, but early American cooks soon introduced key innovations.

THE BARE FACTS OF SCIENCE FICTION... o 


IMPOSSIBLE | 


“ORGY OF SEX IN PRINT” were words uttered not long ago by an elderly educator who was denouncing, of all 
things, current science-fiction. Avoiding, for the nonce, the question of what's wrong with an orgy of sex in 
print (other than its being а poor second-best for an orgy of sex in the flesh), this fragment of the educator's 
jeremiad must have caused considerable scratching of heads on the part of science-fiction addicts under 
thirty, or in the neighborhood of thirty, or in the Congressional District of thirty. Everyone knows that science- 
fiction today is about as prurient as a thesis on quantum mechanics. Just this year, Kingsley Amis, in his 
survey of science-fiction, New Maps of Hell, went on record as deploring the puritanical tone of the genre 
and honing for a few stories in which Topic A might raise its lovely head. 

What the elderly educator was probably remembering was the science-fiction of the Thighful Thirties. 
In those days, a lot of sf magazines were pretty broad minded, if only pictorially, and any pretty broad who 
ventured beyond the Earth's gravitational field could expect to meet a choice of fates, all more colorful than 
death. That era is long gone, but some of us still remember the Thirties, fondly, as The Golden Age of Space 
‘Travel. The s-f magazines, back then, weren't called Galaxy and If and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science 
Fiction. They were called — near as we can recollect — things like Shocking Solar (continued on page 80)

SMALL 
WONDER 


JONI MATTIS isn’t the sort of voluptuous fe- 
male we usually choose as Playmate of the 
Month. She has that young and fashionable 
look you'd expect to find between the covers 
of Seventeen ox Glamour, which is under- 
standable, since these are just the sort of 
magazines in which Joni makes her living 
as a model. But petite Miss Mattis (she's 
57 2" tall, weighs less than 100 pounds, and 
looks like 2 sixteen-year-old, though she's 
actually twenty-one) possesses one of the 
most provocatively perfect faces ever to pass 
through PLAYBOY's portals, and а personal- 
ity to match, so we simply couldn't resist 
this change-of-pace Playmate. Joni makes 
her home in Chicago, appears regularly on 
Playboy's Penthouse, and also works part 
time as a Bunny at the Playboy Club. We 
feel confident that readers will welcome 
Miss Mattis little-girl freshness and charm 
as a small but wonderful Miss November.

SLIME GOD (continued from page 71) 


Stories and Horrible Atom Tales, and 
the covers, unlike the mechanistic covers 
of today, throbbed with life, blushed 
with the pink of fair flesh. The stories 
always seemed to have titles like Girls 
for the Slime God, and one or more of 
the girls involved customarily loosened 
the straps of her golden space tunic, let- 
ting it slide down her ripe golden body, 
past the golden curve of her hips and 
the soft golden flesh of her thighs, then 
turned to the hero, her full golden 
breasts quivering with emotion, and 
asked if he still believed she had the 
sacred Martian moonstone on her — all 
by page three at the latest. A dozen pages 
later im this issue of the hypothetical 
Fearsome Future Fiction, in another 
story, Men for the Slime Goddess, a dif- 
ferent lass would be impelled to loosen 
the straps of her silver space tunic, let- 
ting it slide down her ripe creamy body, 
past the white curve of her hips and the 
soft ivory flesh of her thighs, turning to 
our hero finally, her full alabaster 
breasts quivering with anticipation (any 
resemblance among stories was not acci- 
dental —at halfa-cent a word, writers 
had to take short cuts). 

A quivering bosom was no novel sight 
for a Thirties sf hero. Space Girls ex- 
pressed most of their emotions through 
their pectoral muscles. Bosoms swayed, 
trembled, heaved, shivered, danced or 
pouted according to their owners’ moods. 
In fact, if а hero in those days had been 
a little more observant and had carried 
a tape measure, he could have saved 
himself a lot of trouble. When he 
opened an air lock and a gorgeous stow- 
away fell out, uniform ripping, it usually 
took him five or six pages to find out 
whether she was a Venusian spy or not, 
whereas the reader knew at once. If her 
torn uniform revealed pouting young 
breasts, she was OK — probably some- 
one's kid sister. If she had eager, strain- 
ig breasts, she was the heroine. But a 
girl with proud, arrogant breasts was 
definitely a spy—while a ripe, full 
bosom meant she was a Pirate Queen 
and all hell would soon break loose. 

In case Kingsley Amis is beginning 
to distrust our memories of yesterday's 
Space Girls, it might be wise to eschew 
the vague and hypothetical and come 
up with a few living specimens. Why 
rely оп memory — poor frail human 
thing— when secondhand magazine 
dealers can, for a price, confirm our 
hazy recollections? Sample, please, a 
passage from The Angel from Hell, 
which a dustswathed December 1939 
issue of Marvel Science Stories has 
yielded: 

He saw ап eerie being. A winged 
woman! Or was she a woman? Her body 
was a woman's . . . the sweet curves of 
it were shiny with a yellow velvet down. 


The breasts were firm round golden 
bowls, quivering to the effort of her 
wings. And he wanted her. He forgot 
all her strangeness, and saw only the 
golden breasts, the alluring contours . . . 
He thirsted for the feel of her golden 
body in his arms. He made a groping 
movement toward her . . . 

Yes, this was the era of the racy pulps 
— when lusty BEMs (Bug Eyed Monsters) 
lurked on every asteroid, and many a 
lad reached adolescence believing that 
M.D. and M.Sc. meant Mad Doctor and 
Mad Scientist. Space travel may have 
been primitive in those days — but few 
of today's sf heroes can match the sheer 
virility of the old Space Captains. May- 
be they weren't nimble-witted, and it's 
true that they moved chiefly by involun- 
tary reflex action — Биг they were шеп 
who thought nothing of blasting a path. 
through Saturnian Space Pirates with no 
more equipment than a riveted space 
cruiser, smoking rocket tubes, and a hot 
navigator (38-24-38). When one of those 
boys brought his battlescarred ship іп 
for a landing on Jupiter he was tired, 
and it wasn't just from the fighting. 

His navigator had a rough time, too; 
lacking radar or UNIVAC, she had to 
feel her way cautiously around the Solar 
System. Meanwhile the hero was using 
the same technique on her, with less 
caution. 

Its about time somebody paid be- 
lated tribute to the voluptuous young 
females who pioneered the Solar System 
ма the old pulps. Despite all hazards 
(penicillin had yet to be discovered) 
they poured into space in their faceless 
thousands. (It's possible they had faces, 
of course, but pulp authors seldom 
bothered to describe the girls above the 
neck) Girls shipped out as navigators, 
spacereporters, astro-geologists, stow- 
aways, proud-and-rich-daughtersof-thc- 
owner-of-the-space-line-taking-their-first- 
trip-into-space, Pirate Queens, or just 
plain — well, unplain — crew members. 

It took guts. Life for а Space Girl in 
those days was no bed of galactic roses. 
‘Yo begin with, their uniforms were de- 
fective. You'd think a metalfabric bi- 
kini would be pretty durable. Not so. 
Two days out from Earth, the ship 
would lurch to avoid a meteor, and the 
girl would be catapulted across the 
cabin into the hero's lap to the sound. 
of ripping fabric. From this point on 
she was ninety-eight-percent exposed to 
cosmic rays, the hero, and any stowaway 
villains. 

And there was little purpose in her 
finding a fresh uniform. For even on 
pioneer flights. when girls still wore. 
sturdy terrestrial garments, a complete 
outfit averaged little more than 15 
pages іп space—and іп the heat of 
action the half-life of any garment could 


be measured in sentence-fragments. Any 
efficiency expert worth his salt would 
have ordered all Space Girls to strip to 
the skin hours before countdown. It 
would have saved untold time and cflort 
later. 

Consider the heart-breaking (and fu- 
tile) attempts of space-journalist Lorna 
Rand to shield herself [rom the hot eyes 
and sweaty palms of Space Captain 
Shawn, the hero of a 1938 Marvel yarn, 
The Avengers of Space. Even before the 
good ship Eagle takes off, an accident 
played havoc with the girl's dress, тір- 
ping it nearly off her slim body. For a 
second Shawn felt the warm firmness of 
her half-bared bosom against his cheek 

~ his pulse beat faster at the touch of 
his hands upon her rounded, vibrant 
body . . . her milky thighs gleamed 
whitely . 

His throat was dry. His heart was 
pounding like a trip hammer. 

(Space Captains in the 1930s suffered 
grievously from attacks of dry throat, 
pounding heart and moist palms. The 
equivalent syndrome in Space Girls in- 
cluded icy spinal tremors and ob- 
versely — hot breath.) 

Involuntarily Lorna shrank a little 
- - - lifted her hands in a protective ges- 
ture 

Fortunately for Lorna, the hero's at- 
tention is distracted by the need for a 
fast take-off (conspirators are stuffing 
dynamite under the Eagle's tail fins). 
But even with the ship spaceborne, she 
has to wait four pages before the hero 
grudgingly finds her а khaki shirt and 
slacks. And as for privacy — 

At the door he turned, involuntarily. 

- The girl hed slipped off the tattered 
remnants of her dress and was nude save 
for flimsy underthings. The pale cones 
of her breasts swayed as she bent over, 
slipping a slim foot into the trousers. 
Shawn was trembling a little, his muscles 
weak as water. The girl was a vision of 
loveliness, rousing all the passion in him. 
He stared fascinated at her supple form, 
took a half-step forward ... his palms 
moist with sweat. 

Lorna, surprisingly, manages to keep 
dad until the Eagle lands on Mars, 
where Shawn and his crew encounter 
а chilly reception. Lorna, however, is 
greeted with considerable warmth, and 
it isn't long belore Martians and reader 
alike can admire her rounded breasts 
and the lithe curves of her young body 
revealed in utter nudity! 

With some difficulty, Lorna manages 
to dress herself in a Martian kirtle. Вис 
there is worse to come; she has the 
BEMs to contend with. The BEMs that 
roamed space in the old pulp magazines 
remain a source of constant fascination 
to the scholar. BEMs came in a wide 
variety of styles. The elite resembled 
Technicolor lobsters suffering from ele-

a cosmopolite's guide to 
mexico's romantic riviera 


MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN Yr Оп the late show: Betty 
Grable (remember her?) is a secretary from, 
say, Trenton, Ohio, enjoying one week's vaca- 
tion south of the border. Before the first 
musical number is quite over (Carmen Mir- 
anda, in a hat made of bananas, avocados. a 
cheese blinw, hibiscus and parrot feathers, 
singing a lyric that seems to consist ex- 
clusively of the sound chee-chee-chee-chee), 
Betty is hopelessly enmeshed in an ambiva- 
lent relationship with a rich Latin gigolo 
played by Cesar Romero or possibly Don 
Ameche with gray stuff at his temples and 
ап inappropriate George Givot accent. 
George Givot may be on hand, too, to pro- 
vide comic relief, and José Iturbi is sure to 
pound out the Ritual Fire Dance on a lit up 
piano, unless Xavier Cugat and Lina Romay 
happen to be operating that side of the 
street. By the final fade-out, Betty is in the 
arms of Romero/Ameche and the whole cast 
is singing, "If you're romantic, chum, pack 
up your duds and come to Acapulco . . ." 

Corn doesn't grow much taller than that, 
but in the case of Mexico's Acapulco (less 
than ten air hours from anywhere in the 
U.S), you can safely swallow it— cob, husk 
and all — secure in the knowledge that Truth 
has not been too severely bent. For Acapulco, 
today, is a dazzling amalgam of half a 
dozen screen extravaganzas, unabashedly 
corny, gorgeously unreal, glossy with luxury, 
awash with Technicolor, athrob with Latin 
rhythms, inhabited by dark-eyed señoritas, 
Ohio cuties on vacation, and on-the-make 
operators from both south and north of the 
border. The song says “You put your cares 
in hock and throw away your clock in Aca- 
pulco,” and that’s no lie: Acapulcans swing 
around the sundial. The song further de- 
scribes Acapulco as a place "where you can 
be as lazy as a daisy drifting in a blue la- 
goon”: blue lagoons are indeed to be had 
and nobody frowns upon indolence. It claims 
"You're wide awake at night, because you 
do your dreaming in the afternoon”: Aca- 
pulco night life is truly wider awake than 
night life anywhere else. And, finally, if you 
doubt that “when the moon is new, it’s like 
a honeydew,” you've obviously been having 
so much fun you haven't had time to look 
up at the sky. 

The travel folders will tell you it is a land 
of magic landscapes sparkling like a jeweled 
setting around the rich blue crescent of its 
bay. It is. They will tell you that golden 
beaches glisten in the sun and rocky cliffs

during business hours?" 


the ancient art of wagering and winning whilst one foot rests on Ше rail 


А BAR BET is a bet that you make with 
somebody at a bar. The p 5 of a 
bar bet are: (1) to show what a clever 
and engaging chap you аге; (2) to get 
the other fellow to pay for your drinks. 
Since jovial bonhomie and good fellow- 
ship are important ingredients of social 
drinking, you do not try to make a sub- 
stantial killing with a bar bet. Of course, 
if you don't care about niceties of that 
sort, go ahead, get yourself punched in 
the nose after a nasty argument with a 
lush. 

"The props for these bets are the things 
one would naturally have at hand at a 
bar: bottles, glasses, matches, cigarettes, 
money, paper, pencil, and so on, includ- 
ing an obliging bartender. For instance, 
a good many bars have hard-boiled eggs 
lying around waiting to be bought. You 
can work up a good bar bet around such 
an egg. Buy one, and ask the bartender 
to bring you a fresh one too. Now get 
them mixed up, so nobody knows which 
is which. 

“Hey, which one do 1 eat?” you ask. 

“Beats me, Mac,” the bartender says. 
“You should of thought of that earlier.” 

You turn to the fellow on the next 
stool, who has been following your an- 
tics with interest. "Can you tell them. 
apart?" you ask. 

He picks them up, weighs them in his 
hands, shakes them, holds them up to

the light, and whatever. “There's по 
way of knowing,” he declares. 

“Tell you what,” you say. "Ill buy 
the next round if I can’t pick the hard- 
boiled egg without cracking either one. 
You buy the next round if I can. OK?” 

He subjects the henfruit to further 
intensive scrutiny. They are as alike as 
two eggs. There must be some catch,” 
he says, “but go ahead.” You see, he 
will go for this if the stakes are small, 
merely from curiosity, even though he 
suspects he is being taken. 

And he ıs being taken — that is in- 
herent in every bar bet. You spin either 
egg on the bar, stop it with your finger, 
and instantly release it. The raw egg 
will start turning again. With serene 
composure you order your second gin 
and Compari—on Вип. 

A build-up of some sort is generally 
required to get a bar bet accepted. If 
you had come out cold with the asser- 
tion, “ГЇЇ bet I can tell a hard-boiled 
egg from a fresh one,” you wouldn't 
have found a taker. Similarly, there's 
little use in offering point blank to bet 
somebody that he can't do something — 
һе will suspect, quite correctly, that һе 
can't. You have to work up to it. 

The very best way to bring a bar bet 
home is to challenge the other fellow to 
perform some feat, let him try in vain, 
and then offer to bet that you can do it. 


Having proved that it is "impossible," 
he is almost certain to take you up. А 
good опе о this type involves arranging 
two bottle, a coin and a match, as 
shown. 


You defy him to remove the coin with- 
out touching the match and without 
causing it to fall. His efforts are unavail- 
ing, and he readily bets that you can't 
do it either. Whereupon you light the 
head of the match with another. It will 
stick to the bottle and you then lift 
the other bottle and retrieve the coin. 

(Right here is the place for a word of 
warning. Sometimes the match doesn’t 
stick. With most of these bets it will

sometimes happen that something goes 
wrong and you lose. In such cases your 
attitude should be: so much the better. 
All Ше more chance that this poor fool- 
ish fellow will take you up on your next 
proposition.) 

A wheeze with cigarettes: bet that with 
six of them he can't make four equi- 
lateral triangles with no leftover lines. 
When he passes the ball back to you, 
you set them up like this, with three 
cigs forming a triangle on the bar and 
the other three erected as a tripod above 
them. The cigarettes will stand up more 
easily than you might think. 


‘The solution may elicit complaints that 
they're not all flat on the bar, but who 
said anything about flat? 

A bet that requires a rather steady 
hand, and hence should be proffered 
before you've won too many drinks with 
other bets, is this: Fill two shot glasses 
brim full, one with whiskey, one with 
water. Ask your gull to exchange their 
contents without using any sort of con- 
tainer and without spilling more than a 
negligible amount. He has a dollar that 
says it's impossible. You now take a 
small piece of stiffish paper — part of a 
magazine cover, say — and lay it atop the 
shot glass filled with water, where it 
will stick by capillary attraction, permit 
ting you to deftly turn it over and put 
it upside down exactly over the whiskey 
shot glass. Then you gently draw the 
paper from between the glasses until 
a tiny gap is made, through which the 
whiskey will flow up — being lighter — 
and replace the heavier water. Like this: 


Incredibly, the two liquids don't mix! 
Better practice this at home a couple of 
times before your first public appearance. 
And don’t try it with gin: you can't see 


it; nor with a liqueur: it won't work. 

When you see the bartender about to 
throw away an empty liquor bottle, ask 
for the loan of it and a straw. Use the 
straw to fill the bottle with smoke, and 
challenge someone to get the smoke out 
in less than a second. Whatever he tries 
(induding filling the bottle with water) 
will take far more than a second. Now, 
of course, you bet that you can do it. 
Bet accepted, you simply drop in a 
lighted match. Spectacular. (Note: be 
sure the bottle is at room temperature 
and that it has dregs of hard liquor in 
it) 

се category of bar bets involves 
wagering the other fellow that he can't 
do something so apparently simple that. 
he is certain he can do it. His ego be- 
comes involved — particularly if you 
have beaten him at one or two of the 
bets described above —and he is likely 
to grasp the opportunity to put you in 
your place. 

For instance, bet him he can't light 
all twenty paper matches in a match 
book with one strike each on the scratch. 
surface of said match book. The odds 
against him are astronomical, provided 
you set a reasonable time limit—say 
five seconds a match—and have him 
tear out all the matches first, “to save 
time.” Actually, having all the matches 
handy will tend to make him hurry, and 
haste will make him break some of the 
matches; this is bad for him, good for 
you. Try it a few times just to convince 
yourself how little chance he has. 

Or write the following on a piece of 
paper, but don’t let him see you write 
it. Show it to him for two seconds, and 
bet him he can’t repeat the words cor- 
rectly. The chances are very good that 
he will muff it. 


There are other word combinations 
that work well, too, but remember that 
they must be placed in the drawn tri- 
angle with the repeated word on differ- 
ent lines. You can use BEWARE OF THE

After һе% had a couple of drinks

somewhat lubricated is one of the basic 
tactics of barbetsmanship), you might 
try the following list of words on him, 
which you have conveniently in your 


pocket. Assure him that they are all 
words of common knowledge and bet 
him he can't read them off at a normal 
rate of speed, pronouncing them all cor- 
rectly on the first try.

AWRY, IMPLY, DENIAL, ALLY, RELY and

to cry out, No more pauses!" He's almost 
bound to go wrong before he’s finished. 

While he's recovering from this de- 
feat, place two cigarettes оп the bar, 
get him to cross his fingers — all the way 
over — and bet him he can't tell by touch 
alone whether he's touching one ciga- 
rette or two. Explain that the cigarettes 
will lie parallel to his fingers, not at 
right angles. He closes his eyes; you 
remove one cigarette and guide his hand 
to the other so that it lies between his 
crossed fingers, with both of them touch- 
ing it. 


He will say it is two. Then do it with 
two cigarettes, each finger touching one. 
Sure enough, he gets it wrong again.

а low-budget american 
“art” film heralds а new 
wave of cinematic sex 


rr usen то ве that European film makers 
had pretty much of a monopoly on 
cinematic nudity and sex. Their prod- 
ucts—good, bad or indifferent — have 
long held the world-wide reputation for 
revealing far more of the female form 
than anything produced here. No more. 

"There is today a group of independ- 
ent, low-budget producers, ambitious 
Amcricans ай, who have made broad 
encroachments іп the areas of nudity 
(sex, we assume, will come along later) 
on the screen. No Oscar hunters, the 
members of this West Coast wave аге 
cranking out commercially conceived 
"art" films concerned mainly with cute 
chicks dressed in nearly nothing. What's 
more, these filis are being distributed 
nationally, to the delight of backers and 
moviegoers alike, and doing big box 
office at the art houses where they play. 

Vital to the warm climate іп wi 
this exotic cinematic bloom flourishes 
is the new liberal attitude of the federal 
courts toward film censorship. In a se 
ries of recent decisions, the courts have 
ruled: (1) that local censorship of 
movies, as long practiced in many parts 
of the U.S., is unconstitutional because 


THE IMMO 


The Immoral Мг. Teas, as the film's nar- 
rator explains, is all about "the simple, 
uncluttered fellow who merely lives from 
day to day.” In his humdrum routine, de- 
livering dental supplies, he’s tempted by 
the sexy creatures he meets along his 
route. Then, under anesthetic in a den- 
tist’s chair, а fresh fillip is added to his 
life: the voluptuous dental assistant sud- 
denly appears before him in the nude. 


RAL MR. TEAS

Dismissing the incident as nothing more than a dream, Teas wanders 
into his favorite lunchroom (below) to discover tha! his new 
faculty makes watermelan-eating difficult. Fearing that he's going 
off his rocker, Teas tries to ignore a pretty secretary (above and 
right), stripped to the buff in a thrice. He escapes to an idyllic 
fishing retreat, only to find that filled with frockless femmes as well. 


it is a form of prior restraint which cir- 
cumvents due process of law and puts 
the problem of censorship in the hands 
of local police officials or a few of the 
local citizenry, instead of in the courts 
where it belongs, and (2) that nudity 
per sé is not obscene. These recent de- 
cisions have opened the door to a great 
many foreign films that can now bc 
shown in their uncut versions through 
out most of the country for the first time. 
And the portal had not been too long 
open before a few independent U.S. pro- 
ducers decided to step inside. 

Several of these began producing sex 
dicapies and turned to naturalism for 
inspiration — pseudo documentaries shot 
in steaming jungle atmospheres where 
little or no clothing is the custom: and 
educational explorations of nudist camps 
and the sunbathing cult. Some, like The 
Immoral Mr. Teas, actually boast some- 
thing of a plot. 

Produced by Peter A. De Cenzic 
(PAD Productions), directed and photo 
graphed (in color) by pin-up lensman 
Russ Meyer, The Immoral Mr. Teas is 
a good-natured, if heavy-handed, comedy 
about an ordinary fellow who develops 
a most extraordinary ability: most men 
mentally undress women from time to 
time, but Teas is able to accomplish the 
feat in a disturbingly real way. Teas 
is a milquetoast, shy and retiring, 
caught —as the film's narrator explains 
—in the “mad, impetuous, senseless, 
driving bustle of the city.” In our world 
of “higher buildings, automatic autos, 
more potent pills, bigger stomach-aches, 
quicker liquor, faster freeways and 
tighter underwear," Mr. Teas takes off 
on his humdrum rounds delivering 
false teeth to dentists by bicycle. 

Aside from being hit on the head by а 


hula-hooping neighborhood child and 
being made generally jumpy by the 
bulging figures of the women he meets 
each day in his work, things are going 
along smoothly enough for Mr. Teas un- 
til the afternoon he tarries in a dentist's 
office, where he often makes deliveries, 
to have a tooth of his own extracted. 
Under the influence of the anesthetic, 
he has a hallucination that seems half 
real, half fanciful. The dentist extracts 
an enormous molar, the size of a bicycle 
handle, and the bountiful, brunette 
dental assistant standing next to him 
suddenly appears stark naked. Passing 
the experience off as a dream induced 
by the anesthetic, Mr. Teas returns to 
work, wanders into his favorite lunch- 
room, only to discover that the blonde 
behind the counter is in a similarly em- 
barrassing state of undress, though she 
seems blissfully unaware of it. The illu- 
sion—if illusion it be— pleasant 
enough, but Teas fears that it ma 
only the beginning of some more serious 
mental disorder, He attempts to escape 
to the woods and the solitary pleasure 
of fishing, but there the visions become 
more intense: all the girls he has met 
in his workaday world appear before him 
and frolic about him in the water clad 
in naught save sunshine. At this point 
both Mr. Teas and the movie's plot tend 
to come apart, and only Mr. T manages 
а recovery: a visit to an analyst does the 
trick, but not in the conventional man- 
ner. Mr. Teas is not cured at movie's 
end, but after the analyst— who turns 
out to be a scrumptious, bespectacled 
miss — loses all her clothing, he decides 
tostop worrying about his new-found gift 
and simply make the most of it. As the 
film’s narrator sagely comments, 
“Some men just enjoy being sick." 


Thoroughly upset by these inexplicable experiences, the shy Мг. Teas makes ап 

tment with a psychoanalyst who turns out to be, to по one's surprise, а 
very attractive young miss, bespectacled and conservatively clothed, but naked 
as а Jay bird a moment after Teas reclines on the couch. Philosophically, he 
then decides to stop fighting and accept Ше as he finds it, which isn't bad.

They dismounted in a loose thicket 
of scrub maple, where birds were seen 
lliuing and passing by. Robin detached 
the swivel and the leash from the jesses, 
and lifted. off the hood. The peregrine 
seemed to frown and stared sharply in

“How many did we get?"

“That's а day's work," Robin said. He

But the experiences of that night must

But he did not phone the sheriff, be

the path to the office. Be calm, he

grabbed the jesses and let her finish off

of recognizing 
nce pie, at the holiday board. 
The apple and mince varieties, as а mat- 
ter of face, were early American staples. It 
t until the carly Nineteenth Cen 
tury that tart fruit pics made their debut. 
Pie fanciers discovered the joys of sour 
cherries, rhubarb, lemons and black- 
berries as fillings; the partiality for these 
pics became so great that when fresh 
fruit wasn't available, cooks invented the 
vinegar pie — stuffed with vinegar, mo- 
lasses and spices—to replace them. 
Through the years, American bakers have 
made the fruit ріс their private property. 
You can shop in the most expensive 
patisserie in the world and you won't 
find a serious challenge to this native 
gastronomical feat. In fact, any European 
who wants to learn the art of the Ame 
can fruit pie must indenture himself to 
a native pie maker for two or three years 
before he can meet the high standards 
of American ріс culture. 

Buying а Pie: From the bachelor’s 
point of view, the key to relishing this 
hallowed tradition is in the buying, 
When you buy a pie, first heed the color 
of the crust. If it glistens, reject it: the 
unnatural shine means 5 brushed 
with beaten 
wash crea 
also (опа 
pulpy flavor. Select a pie with a velvety, 
soft brown crust, а hue the baker 
achieves either by leaving the dough un- 
touched or by brushing it with milk or 
cream before baking. 

‘The crust should be tender, of course, 
but it shouldirt crumble or taste pow: 
dery soft. It should break apart in layers. 
The wispy, leaflike feel is fine in a 
Napoleon or patty shell, but not in a pic. 

The fruit filling — from the smallest 
blueberry to the largest apple wedge — 
should be intact, not mushy. It should 
be from an inch and a half to two inches 
deep. When you buy an open pie, like 
coconut custard, pumpkin or pecan, rate 
it from the bottom up. The crust 
shouldn't be a rubbery marshland on 
the bottom. Stay away from the graham 
cracker crust you find in chiffon pics; 
it turns to pure flannel 

Should you p

rolled, cut and packaged with a thin 
aluminum pie plate for baking. Then 
buy a prepared fruit pie filling, ready to 
be poured right onto the bottom crust. 
The top crust is then fitted into place 
and you bake till The results

You may prefer the even greater speed 
and simplicity o£ frozen pie. Those with 
a basic fruit filling, like apple or cherry. 
are superior to the one-crust pies like 
coconut custard, lemon cream or choc- 
olate cream. The frozen pies that require 
baking are more delectable than those 
that are pre-baked and need only de- 
frosting. The former provide the warm- 
ness, crispness and freshness of a pie 
that's just been slipped from the oven — 
assets that can't be over-praised 

Pie with Cheese: However you've 
come by a fine fruit pie, serve it with a 
snappy hard cheese such as imported 
Swiss gruyère (not the processed wedges) 
or a slice of genuine Swiss emmentaler. 
Another choice cheese, well worth hunt- 
ing down, is imported йй; try the 
sharp German rather than the milder 
Danish. If you can get your hands on 
some ripe English cheshire or aged 
American cheddar, 
lively distinction to any fruit ріс. Stay 
away from the soft or semi-soft che 
like brie or bel paese; they're too mild 
in the company of pic. 

Pie à la Mode: Fruit pie that is a trifle 
tastes better than at room tem- 
perature, so it's always wise to coddle a 
pie in the oven for five or ten minutes 
before serving. Then, if you place a gen- 
erous scoop of ice cream оп Ше warm

ice cream flavors. For instance, try vanilla 
on warm blueberry pie. vanilla with 
melba sauce on peach pie or burnt 
almond on cherry pie. 

Gilding the Pie: There are, of course, 
pies sufficiently duked up in their nat- 
ural state to require no further garnish 
ment. Don't add any kind of spangles to 
a Nesselrode pie, a lemon meringue pie 
or coconut custard pie. But the simple 
fruit pies and even pumpkin pie, which 
in many areas has always been served 
with a dollop of whipped cream, de-

If you can't go back home without a 
sixfoot-plus pez vela (sailfish), register 
at the Hotel Club de Pesca, the only 
hostelry with its own flcet of fishing boats. 
Favored months for the sport are No- 
vember through January, although the 
International Sailfish Tournament із

belong to the beat set; Covisa threw the 
beatniks out when they tried to turn 
his simple scene into a south-of-the-bor

hotels with current prices. The town

The winds and waters of Acapulco are 
meant for sailing and cruising, and craft 
of all sorts can be chartered at the public 
docks. For shorter spins, the Barca de 
Oro, a large schooner, and the motor 
yacht Fiesta go out for three hours late 
cach afternoon. Once aboard, you'll find 
music and free drinks, the panorama of 
Acapulco from the water, and a chance 
for a swim olf La Roqueta. The young 
lady you may spy in the depths, incident- 
ally, is not a mermaid but a submerged 
statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe pro- 
tecting the harbor entrance. 

Sundowns are fabled at Pie de la

roaring surf some miles out of town. 
You can Це in a hammock and sip the 
popular Mexican ron castillo, rum mixed

and dancing, especially on weekends. Be 
sure to ta addition to your sunning 
and swimming gear, plenty of sport 
shirts, cotton slacks and sandals. You can 
buy clothes or haye them made in a day

Funny. but Mexican restaurants are 


unknown in Acapulco. Not a single 
kitchen specializes in the great Indio- 


Hispanic dishes. You сап get enchiladas, 
frijoles refritos (refried beans) or a Mexi- 
cam combination plate at some of the 
hotels, but these are a concession to ro- 
mantic palates and generally second

For us, the most interesting place 10 
dine well is La Rue, a French res 
little frequented by tourists. Located in 
the top balcony of the jaialai fronton, 
its firstrow tables afford a perfect view 
of the Basque game. Play starts at nine

Acapulco boasts two shows that every 
опе, excepting only the most blasé, goes 
to dig — Holiday on Skis at the Club de 
Esquis, the town's waterski headq 
ters. and the High Divers of Quebrada 
at EI Mirador's Га Perla. The ski show 
usually goes on about ten-thirty P.M 
Reserve а front-row table, leaving your- 
self enough time to dine оп the open- 
air candlelit 
pool and the shimmering bay. Из а 
grand spot to set the mood for later 
that night. The complete dinner offers 
a choice of such entrees as oysters Rocke- 
feller, fillet of red snapper with brown 
butter and Mexican tenderloin tips. In 
the club’s lounge, meanwhile, ап Апо- 
Guban band will be flaving away. Then, 
suddenly, the show begins. Colored foun- 
tains rise behind the pool: 28,000 watts 
of light brighten the bay: and Ше speed- 
boms amd water skiers — forty-two of 
them international champions — flash by 
to stereophonic fanfares. At the climax, 
the star of the show soars silhouetted 
against the skyline, spread cagled under 
a huge white kite. (Ah there 
Gardens.) 

To glom the high divers, reserve a

At La Perla there are nightly ten- 
thirty and midnight dives by the Clav 
distas de Quebrada, a company of high 
divers headed by Raul Garcia, who in 
summer guards lives at an upstate New 
York resort. The performance begins 
with Raul, holding а blazing torch, run-

inlet, swimming it and then climbing the

ning down 


above the water. He kneels to pray be- 
fore a small shrine to the Vi 
Guadalupe, while his helpers 
torches along the side of the cliff, illum- 
inating the entire scene. The crowd is 
stony silent. The diver flexes his muscles 
ind off he goes into space. (When 
poetic Raul joined us for a drink later, 
he told us, "Every time I dive is the first 
time I kiss а girl. When I leave the rock 
I open my arms and when I enter the 
water I close her in them.") Minutes 
after his plunge, the clavadista stands at 
the entrance to the restaurant, palms 
outstretched for a tip. 

The tides of nightspot popularity in 
Acapulco shift quickly by word of 
mouth. At Guadalajara de Noche, be- 
tween Caletilla and the frontón, you can 
hear a mariachi with three fiddles, three 
guitars, a bass guitarrón and trumpet. 
The hoarse, tw harmonies 
of the canciónes rancheros and sones ате 
enhanced by the snap-crackle-pop of an 
ancient sound system. A young lady 
wrapped in a flowered rebozo pulls on 
listei heart strings with Qué Bonito 
Amor, while the bored charro-cosuumed 
mariachis play and talk to cach other 
"Then, amid much hand clapping and 
y crowd, 


yipping from the beer-drink 
the troupe stamps out the jerabio 
tapatio and zapatado mexicano, the 
Mexican hat and shoe dances. 


The Flamingos has the most carefully 
produced show in town, on at twelve- 
thirty and two-thirty A.M. The club is оп 


the beach, and one opening number 
finds a group of near-naked dancers 
springing ashore from a primitive dug- 


out, with ever-present torches 


me. 
The provocative dancing is reminiscent 
of Katherine Dunham — not. surprising, 
since the show is directed and performed 
by her students. 

Varadero boasts a variety show with 
a small line of misstepping chorus girls, 
corny comedians and an aging Mexican 
film idol who sings doleful songs. Los 
Cocoteros at Hotel Ha presents а 
group of jumping Mexican folk dancers 
at eleven-thirty ғ.м., and Club Bum Bum 
on Caleta Beach will be in action with 
a hot band and crowds of dancers.

Remember José, Ше friendly cab 
driver who brought us in from the air- 
port when we first landed in Acapulco? 
Well, we hopped into his cab a couple 
of nights later and asked him what he 
recommended in the way of offbeat night 


лс 


spots He insisted we try Rio Rita's, 
where Acapulco's sophisticates go to вес 
Real People. Most of the customers are 
working-class Mexicans, he said, with a 
jam of tourists arriving for the one- 
thirty-a.m. show. We went. At tables 
around the room sat dozens of girls of 
all colors and ages, waiting for somcone 
to buy them a drink or ask them to dance 
or to retire into the cubicles behind the 
club where the major business of the 
establishment is consummated for any- 
thing from forty cents up. The band 
was off key, out of tune and too loud, 
but the rhythm section went wild and 
just watching the customers dance was a 
treat. Eventually spotlights pierced 
the smoky air, the dance floor cleared 
and the professional entertainers were 
on. “Anything goes” seemed to be the 
policy, as long as it was calculated to 
arouse. A Latin dance team, he in tight 
pants and vest, she in ап undersized 
bikini, demonstrated how to make love 
during the rumba, mambo and cha-cha. 
"Ehe singer, an endowed and exposed 
young woman, bumped and grinded out

very slight encouragement, she stopped

wixick: But you to accept the fact 
that a man is sick, that he has cancer, 
nd you do the best you can in the face 
of a serious chronic disease. These high- 
order considerations are worthwhile and 
serious, but someone else works on them 
while you cope with the chap who is sick. 
N. ADDERLEY: That's right, what can you 
do about the user? 
yıaynoy: How valuable, for example, is 
the work being done now at the federal 
hospital for the treatment of addicts at 
Lexington, Kentucky? 

You know what they tell me 
about Lexington? A guy tells me that 
when he's in Lexington, all they're think- 
ing about is — "When I get out of Lex- 
ington, boy, I'm gonna get so high!” 
TAYLOR: A guy might go in doing it one 
way. After being put in among addicts 
of all kinds, he might find fifty other 
ways to do the thing he was doing before. 
And he's not helped at all in too many 
cases. 1 have talked to many musicians 
who have been in Lexington. One guy 
old me: “Well, 1 went down, and it was 
ny first time. I went voluntarily because

you can leave at any time, so guys went

in for a little rest and went on back out, 
right back into what they'd been, 
winick: It's misleading to imply that you 
just turn it over to the docs and theyll 
take over. In other words, what will the 
doctor do, and under what circumstances? 
The fact is that he doesn't really know 
what to do. There is no knowledge, really, 
on the basis of which treatment can be 
given in a systematic way, and its mis- 
leading to say, "Well, that’s it, the doctors 
will take over." We have forty-seven 
thousand Americans who are as ill as if 
they couldn't walk. They are unable to 
function. Their central nervous system 
has been substantially modified, at least 
for a while, by the drug they're using. 
Now these people need enormous help 
from the community. They need much 
more than medical or psychiatric help. 
They need help in getting jobs, help in 
getting re-established, help in learning 
to relate to people and many, many 
other things. 
nentorr: I didn't mean that it's a simple 
matter of just turning it over to the doc- 
tors. But there is hardly any research 
data available on treatment of addiction, 
and the way you're to get that is by 
having doctors treat addicts. So the first 
thing that has to be done in this country 
is for that to happen. Then there h 


to 


be community education to bring about 


not only medical and psych help, 
but economic help, and a change in a 
complex of things which goes deep into 
the roots of societ: 
conr: J want to give you what I think 
© some practical solutions. The Opium 
Control Commission of the United N 
tions has specifically charged that five 
countries are the source of most narcotics 
supplies coming into the United State: 
Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria. Sup- 
pose that we ignore the political situ 
ation and say to these five countr 
“There will be no foreign aid extended 
to you and we will create tariffs which 
will prevent the importation of any goods 
from your county, unless you immed 
ately prevent narcotics from illegally 
leaving your countries for the 
States.” I would also hold any t 
portation company liable il it permitted.

would be that it be deemed а [elon 
with the most severe possible penalties, 
for anyone to remove narcotics from a 
boat to the shore. 

HENTOFF: Isn't that like sentencing а 
pusher for what the big guys do? 

Conex: In the United States, I believe in 
vigorous prosecution of major distribu- 
tors. I also believe there is a need now 
for establishing a research facility which 
will study the possibilities of preventing 
addiction. It may be possible to deter. 
mine that certain children show a pote 
ity for turning to narcotics. I think it 
is possible to undertake a program which

pe. wivick: That kind of prediction has 
never worked, even in something as gross 
as the prediction of juvenile delinquency. 
COHEN: You know more about this sub- 
ject than anyone Ive ever met yet 
you're being negativistic about it. It has 
to be don 
ок. 


мімск: If I sound negative about 
specific proposals, it’s because no single 
program for the elimination of an illness 
as complex as drug addiction — which 
carries so much emotional freight in the 
community — can solve the problem. We 
need cooperative interdlisciplinary те 
search and action, more local community 
participation, training the various heal- 
ing professions in the techniques of 
dealing with addicts, regional treatment 
facilities, demonstration centers, and a 
thorough and vigorous post-treatment re- 
habilitation program, which would cer- 
tainly appear to be among the minimum 
requirements for an attempt to come to 
terms with this problem. The addict 
should be viewed as a sick person with a 
chronic disease which requires almost 
emergency action. 

N. ADDERLEY: I have the final solution. И 
you want to cut out all of the narcoties 
addiction and the whole problem, then 
let's don't be lenient on anybody. Take 
all the junkies, all the pushers, all the 
crooks, and throw them all in jail, and 
there'll be no narcotics problem at all. 
HENTOFF: What do you suppose we'll all 
be on next? 

N. ADDERLEY: Then we'll all start taking 
ng else, like - Then they'll 
outlaw grass. Nobody will have a lawn! 
тлувоу: What you mean is, some peo 
ple in society will always look for a new 
kick, for a new escape, from the cares 
and the stresses of society. And if it isn’t 
narcotics, it will be something else. You 
can't solve the problems of а complex 
society like ous with Jone, you've 
got to mix in understanding and help for 
those among us who are a little weaker 
than the rest, a little more apt to crack 
under the pressures of a fast-moving 
modern world. The jazz musician, like 
any creative artist, is apt to be a little 
more yulnerable to these pressures than 
someone less sensitive and more satisfied 
with conformity, but the publ 
the majority of jazzmen being involved 
with drugs is simply untrue. Where it 
does exist, however, the situation is con 
fused and worsened by official ignorance, 
prejudice and corruption at both the fed. 
eral and local levels, with the result that 
narcotics addiction in this country is 
treated as а crime, when it should be 
handled as а medical problem. A disturb- 
ing state of affairs, certainly, but one that 
may, in time, be cleared up by precisely 
the kind of open discussion that you 
gentlemen have participated in today. 


Thank you.

Put down six similar coins on the bar,

The problem is to arrange them in a

Hold the thumb and index finger of 
your right hand on cither side of the

is that he's bound to miss: it takes 
longer for the nerve impulse to go from

that your gull will have had at least one 
drink to slow his reflexes. 

A third category of bar bets involves

relatively simple example is to make

looks like this: 


Note carefully the way they meet in the 
middle. You bet you can make a perfect 
square with them by moving only one 
match. He has probably not m

is on. So you slide match A out à tenth 
ofan so, and there's your squar 
right in the middle, formed by the ends 
of the matches which had previously

compensate for this he can pick the odds. 
Don't let him have more than five to

your success depends on his doing so. 


If he says “1950,” you, of course, say 
"1949" and “1951.” Odds in your

You can almost always get a bet with

clips on a dollar bill folded in this 
fashion: 


(Turn upside down before pulling.)

the bill with such dexterity that, no

The last category of bets involves those

he won't, and you give him back his 
dollar. But very likely he will, so you

Lionel Barrymore, who directed. my 
second. murder offering, was one of Hol- 
lywood's unusuals. He was a firstrate 
mind trapped in his talent as an actor. 

was among the first anti-Hollywood 
sneers I heard. To wit — his favorite pet 
was a vulture whom he had nursed and 
fed since its nestling days. If 1 remember 
correctly, he called the bird McGillicudy. 
Lying sick one day, Lionel looked out of 
his bedroom window and behcld McGil- 
licudy whee ad hovering above the 
house. 


“Look at that ungrateful sonofabitch, 
Lionel wheezed —he had pneumoi 
"happily waiting for me to croak. After 
all we've been to cach other. There's a 
symbol of Hollywood for you." 
Skipping to another hearse, it was 
drink, chiefly, that landed agent Myron 
Selznick in his. But before the organ 
played for Myron, he took a large bite 
out of cinema town, and not for himself 
alone. He ran our salaries up from a 
hundred to а thousand percent. Neither 
greed nor philanthropy drove him. The 


Schencks, Mayers, Goldwyns, et al., had 
tumbled his father, the puissant Louis 
Selznick, from his high moviemaking 
perch. Myron was out to avenge the 
deed. He dedicated himself to looting 
the enemy's cash boxes. He was the only 
ten-percenter I've known who stood 
four-square beside the artist against the 
boss. 

In this long ago, Walter Wanger and 
I were sitting in a nightclub watchin 
the floorshow, headed by Jimmy Di 
rante. “Jimmy would be marvelous in 
the movies,” said Walter. п you write 
him into the script by Wednesday?” 

The script was Roadhouse Nights. On. 
Wednesday morning, Durante made his 
debut in it as а movie actor. Helen 
Morgan was the other star. Hobert Hen- 
ley was the director. Henley and Morgan 
are out of play. Henley was а handsome 
fellow who had shown some talent in the 
ns. The talkies embittered him. I 
think hc dicd out of irritation at hearing 
actors talk. 

Miss Morgan was a chorus girl who 
had parlayed a talent for drinking into 


stardom. Liquor hoarsened her voice, 
gave her a mysterious sound and in-

For God's sake," cried Jessel, “whose 
shoes are those? 

"Don't try to change the subject," said 
Miss Morgan. 

I wrote a slew of movies under the 
M batons of Louis Mayer, Irving 
Iberg, Harry Rapp. Bernard Hyman. 
Sam Zimbalist and Paul Bern. АП dead. 

Jack Conway, who directed Viva Villa!; 
Wallace Beery, who starred in it; Victor 
Fleming, who directed Gone with the 
Wind, of which I wrote the first nine 
reels in a week; Thomas Van Dyke, who 
directed Му a Wonderful World; Victor 
and Frank Morgan, 
emoted in Let Freedom Ring — these are 
in the collaborator hearses Г count. 

Gene Fowler and 1 hatched an opus 
for W. C. Fields and Marie Dressler 
called Farike, the Guest Artist. We also 
toiled with director John Stahl on a 
thing called (I think) Back Street. Felix 
Bressart performed in Comrade X, which 
I concocted with Charles Lederer. Jack 
Gilbert starred with Garbo in Queen 
Christina, another chore shared w 
Fowler. I “did” Design for Living м 
Ernst Lubitsch; worked on a Jean Har 
low saga with Paul Bern, and plotted 
frequently with Edmund Goulding.

vict Lake, in which Ethel Barrymore 
starred; Foreign Correspondent, that

The Shop Around the Gorner with 
Lubitsch. Margaret Sullavan starred in it 

OF these names, Lederer — а hardy fel- 
low — is still on the census-taker's rolls. 
The rest are underground. 

Ethel Barrymore stood for a dying tra- 
dition in Hollywood — the tradition that 
you had to be a good actress before you 
could become а movie маг. Margaret 
Sullavan was another member of that 
ing Maggie, with her light 
its brightest. 

There were two Alex Kordas — the 
clegant gent of London society and the 
slippery dealmaker of Hollywood. I knew 
the latter. We admired cach other, he 
because he felt certain he could chea 
me: I because 1 never minded bei 
cheated in Hollywood, particularly by 
lite This was because 1 
ways felt I was being five or ten times 
overpaid for the easy chores 1 did. It's 
difficult to get outraged with the boss 
who pays you thirty thousand instead of 
sixty for two weeks’ work 

Louis Mayer stuck it out for quite а

one of the best of the town's unsung 
talents, like his friends Victor Fleming 
and “Woody” Van Dyke. Unlike today’s 
directorial marvels, they were long on

diversions. They scorned press

ing trips, in theatre lobbies and in Doc- 
tor Menninger's Clinic for the Disturbed.

An incident that illumines Mr. Cohn's

catch the heroine first lunge) had other

As important as the anatomical com. 
plexity is the motivational drive: the 


true BEM would rather nuzzle the 
heroine than battle the hero. Which 
may explain why Stone (who volun 


teered for the job) needs no more than 
his bare hands to subdue it — though 
the task takes а little time: Swash aud

slowly within Stone. Could the thing be 
invulnerable? Could he even hurt it? 
He can and docs — and one more BEM

It may well be asked why Stone was 
such a chump as to get into a messy 
situation like this. And the answer 
throws much light on the grim mam

end of the Thirties. Stone, who wants

Making the blue-glass test is a very 
intriguing game, То play it, all you 
need are three blue glasses numbered 
1, 2, 3—three different brands of

the blue-gl t 
many find that their 
favorite Scotch is Old 
Smuggler.
