In our September lead fiction, Chariot of Fire, Ray Russell 
once more uses his home ground. Hollywood, as a backdrop

Africa to research a film. Irving Wallace, a part-time resident of 
Spain (he has a farmhouse on the island of Minorca) and lor 
time occupant of the bestseller lists (The Man, The Prize, The 
Three Sirens, The Chapman Report), recalls with fondness a 
pair of enterprising and engaging ladies, the Everleigh sisters, 
in this months Call Them Madam, which will appear in slightly 
different form in his forthcoming Simon & Schuster book, The 
Country Gentleman. Wallace, who's in the midst of his next 
novel, The Plot, set Hollywood's fiscal seismographs aflutter by 
closing a seven-figure deal with 20th Century-Fox for screen 
rights to two of his novels. As a tribute to Wallace's top-drawer 
professionalism and ability to deliver. the money was paid to 
him before one word of either novel had been put on paper

Institute head Paul Gebhard’s personal choice to do the piece

has worked closely with its ма since the Kinsey report on

There appears to be some hope for peace in our time (at

on so famously in 1965: The latter had а good-natured spoof

Reader's Digest to form Digest Boy, and in this September

entertaining memoir, Horsing Them In with Hemingway 
(which will appear as part of his The Well-Tempered Angler,

DEAR PLAYBOY 


ЕЗ ғоокеѕ PLAYBOY MAGAZINE - 


LAWMAN 
I wish to express my appreciation to 
you for the conversition with Melvin 
Belli in the June issue of рілувоү. It 
gave me a new understanding of this 
brilliant, courageous, witty man. Here, 
at last, is a man who did what he be- 
lieved with all of his heart should be 
done. Many of us seem to "believe some- 
thing should be done" about so many 
things. Few of us are willing to try. 
Forrest J. Willingham 
Pompano Beach, Florida 


Mr. Belli roared into Dallas as the 
King of Torts and sneaked out as the 
Court Jester. 

Kay Kayse 
Dallas, Texas 


I was quite perturbed, after reading 
the Melvin Belli interview, to find that a 
man with what is unquestionably one of 
the great legal minds of our time has 
such a biased and narrow view of the in- 
tegrity of his fellow man. Bt is dis 
appointing to think that everything with 


which Mr. Belli disagrees becomes а 
“travesty.” “outrageous.” "incredible," a 
"scandal," ad infinitum, while ever 
thing with which he agrees becomes "in- 
comtrovertible evidence," “fact,” or the 


“truth.” I only hope that someday I shall 
become as infallible as Mr. Belli.

ersity 


Melvin Belli is not unknown to our 
profession. He is not only flamboyant, he 
is the most egotistical individual I have 
ever met, Nevertheless, and probably 
because of his flamboyancy and ego- 
tism, he commands the respect of thou- 
sands of American lawyers. We wish to 
congratulate PLAYBOY upon the presenta- 
tion of Mr. Belli and his views. We take 
no issue with his remarks concerning (1) 
Dallas, (2) the trial of Jack Ruby, (3) 
insurance companies, (4) police olhcers 
and prosecutors. Our own experience in- 
dicates that his comments are accurate 
(although caustic), and our reading of 
newspaper accounts of the Ruby tial is 
sufficient to convince us that the protec- 
tions guaranteed by the United States

Constitution were left crumbled by Da 
las authorities, Only the Belli interview 
could have topped the Beatles one. 
Richard M. Huckeby 
Cisneros  Huckcby, Attorneys at Law 
Denver, Colorado 


Your interview with Belli has literally 
fed my being. He is a guy Га like to 
know. It seems to me that one of the rar- 
est and most valuable human traits is 
that of awareness. He is real; to him, life 
and other people are real, too. Thanks, 
PLAYROY. You've once again presented a 
meaningful, memorable interview. with 
an important person, Your interviews 
are not equaled anywhere else. 

Mrs. Susan Betz Hoskin 
Carmel, California 


The most interesting thing brought 
out in your interview with Mr. Belli is 
his double standard—one standard for 
Melvin Belli and another for the rest 
of the world. Wire tapping is “morally, 
legally, innately wrong: it stinks of 
spying.” J. Edgar Hoover is a dangerous 
man for advocating it. But the Belli firm 
employs it. H. Louis Nichols’ act of giv- 
ing an interview to the press alter seeing 
Oswald was “unthinkable and unforgiv- 
able” because it “helped the Dallas es- 
tablishment condition public opinion 
against any insanity defense by Oswald.” 
And yet what effect on public opinion, 
and on any future uals of Jack Ruby, 
had Mr. Belli’s outburst after the verdict 
in Ruby's trial? 

Mr. Bellis seminars teaching lawyers, 
among other things, "how to sue mal- 
practicing doctors,” are very admirable. 
However, 1 scc no mention of his teach- 
ing them how to sue malpracticing law- 
yers. 1 am sure that some defendants are 
occasionally convicted as a result of 
some lawyer's having made a mistake or 
having poorly prepared their delense. 
And the physical and mental damage 
the defendants suffer can be as bad as 
that inflicted by malpracticing doctors. 1 
am sure that Mr. Belli would have much 
more success getting doctors to testify 
against one another ifl lawyers led the 
way by testifying against their fellow 
lawyers in cases of legal malpractice 

Mr. Belli advises law students 
acquire some knowledge of medicine,

After reading Mr. Bellis. remarks

Your interviewer seemed to regard mod-

sasbag west of Lakehurst. I don't know 
what he was doing while Belli (who was 
probably trying to locate some more 
publicity-filled cases to screw up)

that if he'd been reading a book Belli

deal of his candid conversation was 
ed-over baloney. Many of Bellis 
quotes are lifted almost verbatim. from 
the book which. dealing primarily in 
self-praise, was a flagrant violation of the 
canon of Legal Ethics forbidding attor-

I have rcad your brilliant interview 

vith Melvin Belli and thoroughly en- 
joyed it. However, there is one legal bat- 
tle Belli has won that you failed to 
mention, probably because it was very 
recent. It seems that the San Francisco 
Police Deparment raided the North 
Beach section of town and arrested all of 
the topless showgirls for indecent expo 
sure and lewd conduct. The club owners 
employed Belli as their legal advisor 
within a few short wecks the topless 
were acquitted and back in business. 
other cheer for Mel Belli and PLAYBOY, 

Pete Kalk 

Vallejo, California 


Your interview with Melvin Belli is to 
be lauded. That jejune word game ex- 
posed this babbling hypocrite to even 
the most naive of your readers, and re- 
vealed his elaborate windbaggery and 
rambling rhetoric. His criticism of Mr. 
Hoover and our FBI was especially ob- 
jectionable, and like Mr. Belli's other 
charges, was based on emotional hysteria 
and not facts. As for Mr. Bclli's usc of 
the word "outrage" to describe Dallas, 1 
think the term is more suitable to de- 
scribe himself, for he is an outrage to 
this country's entire legal system. 

Ralph P. Yates 
Fresno, Californi: 

Not only is Melvin Belli probably the 
most fascinating character you have ever 
interviewed, but the interview itself was 
onc of the most informative and most 
well written of any you have done. I feel 
compelled to thank you for an insight 

то a very interesting and obviously 
telligent individual,

Three cheers for Melvin Belli. The 
people who condemn him are the people 
who don't have his guts. Freedom of 
speech is one of our most treasured 
rights and it's about time someone took 
advantage of it. I'm not saying I agree 
with everything he says, but I do admire 
the way he says it. He is one of the few 
people who will stand up for what th 
think is right at all costs. As far as I'm 
concerned, he’s not only a great lawyer, 
but a great man as well.

SEX IN CINEMA 

PLAYROY'S June issue delighted me

I was quite surprised. when reading

that nothing of its kind had ever been

installments in the series, in depicting 
some of the goricst details of the sex life

them. They are to be congratulated.

relerred to the Negroes as “animals.” 
How in God's name are we going to live 


in peace with the Negroes if we refer to 
them as the officers did? The only thing 
that is really different among the races 
is the pigment of their skin. When are 
people going to realize this? We have 
treated the Negro as an inferior (that’s 
putting it mildly) ever since he came to 
America. Is about time the white popu

1 have just finished reading Paul J 
cobs’ Cruising in my June vLavuoy. I'm 
sorry he didn't have time t0 tell those 
respectable colored citis 
civil rights. After all, it really was that 
“burly cop" who caused their "jus 
tifiable" resistance to him by interfering 
in their business. They were only vio 
lating the law by cursing and fighting on 
a public street, and everybody knows that 
they have an equal right to do that if 
they want to. If he was worried about 
the ugly looks they gave him. he should 
have carried a sign stating that he is for 
violence and against the police, then 
they would have known he was on their 
wonder, if they attacked 
those two policemen belore they could 
radio for help, if he would have tried to 
help the police or the mob. 

No, Tm not prejudiced against Ne 
groes. The sooner these patriots of frec 
do йс that there is a difference 
between a Negro and a nigger. the better 
off they will be. A Negro is a member of 
the Negroid race. Many of my асди 
ances and one of my best friends is a Ne- 
о, a lieutenant. in this department, 
ict. A nigger. on the other hand, is of a 
social class equivalent to what we down 
here call “Tobacco Road white trash” in 
the Caucasian race. No respectable. Ne- 
gro or white would associate with either 
a nigger or white trash. These are indi- 
viduals whom we police officers, both 
colored and white, have to deal with and 
recognize as the main source of law vio-

“When something is just bad (rather

It's cool. 


4711 is a refreshant cologne, not 
a perfumed cologne. 

Men use it all over after a shower. 
It's clean and invigorating. Makes 
your skin tingle, And, on those days 
when you may have some doubts 
about it, 4711 makes you feel like 


you're really alive. Its citrus scent 
refreshes and then recedes politely 
into the background. 
There's nothing noisy about it. 
And some men are finding it’s a 
great after-shave. Crisp, bracing, 
with just a bit of a bite. 


But it doesn’t matter how you use 
it. If it’s refreshment you’re after, 
one way or another you'll get it 
from 4711. 

It’s been cooling things off since 
1792.

THE CHRONOMASTER 
Helping you make 
time is the least 
of its virtues. 


The Chronomaster has а 
terrific 17-jewel movement that 
tells ordinary time, sure. 

But it can also tell e/apsed 
time anywhere. In the air. Un- 
der water. On good old terra 
firma. Anywhere. 

It can take your pulse and 
respiration (which you might 
be interested in knowing under 
the appropriate conditions). 

It's a yachting timer. It's a 
time-out watch. It can tell you 
what time it is in any time zone 
other than your own. 

It'sa racer's watch. (Built-in 
tachometer, you know.) It's 
waterproof’, shock-resistant, 
luminous. 

And the way it starts con- 
versations has lo be seen to 
be believed.

"| WON'T WEAR A THING

says ELMER TWANG, game warden 

ATHERTON, CAL., Aug. 18—A plague 
of quail has made a disaster area out of 
this pleasant hamlet. Millions of birds 
have stripped the landscape of every 
green leaf. Citizens begged for an open 
season on quail. No dice! Instead, the 
game warden imported 27 Siamese tom- 
cats to scare the birds away. When last 
seen, the cats were '4-way to Las 
Vegas, with quail commandos on their 
tails. Wearing his new T&K cardigan 6- 
button classic—50% Peruvian Alpaca/ 
50% virgin wool — the warden said, 
"How did ow those cats would

ACTS AND 
ENTERTAINMENTS 


Mort Sahl once observed that Eddie 
Visher really wanted to be Frank 
but that he'd have to be Pe 
first—because, cracked the comedian, 
there is no short cut to greatness. In 
the most flattering sense, something simi- 
lar might be said of the “new” Nancy 
Wilson. She seems headed determinedly 
toward the summit that is Lena Horne 
by way of the knoll that is Dishann Car- 
roll. Miss Wilson's sheer sex appeal cut 
like a laser beam through the male divi- 
sion of the celebrity-ricl ience in her 
recent return. to Los les popular 
Cocoanut Grove. On display was a glit- 
tering new act cooked up by ge 
Luther Henderson and special-materi: 
writer Bob Hergert. Conceive, if you 
will, a Upsily freewheeling Beer Barrel 
Polka or a puton medley of current 
Mersey-rock. This from Nancy? This, in- 
decd. What's more, she sold it madly to a 
city crowd feverishly nibbling from 
her palm. The ballads, of course, were 
there. Who Сап [ Тит To, More and 
the nowadays seldomsung If You Are

as she churned out—with appropriately 
frugish gyrations—A Hard Day's Night,

Week and I Know a Place. For treat- 
ment of the material, Luther Henderson 
won plaudits, As chief implementer of

drums, the singers husband, Kenny 
Dennis, proved a uue helpmeet. Down 
to her exquisite gowning, it is certainly а 
New Image for La Wilson. Onstage, 
Nancy is now fancy; her patter verges at 
times on the razor's edge of coynes. She 
remains, though, a songseller of powerful 
individuality and a super show-woman. 


THEATER 


The same disconcerting facts of f 
cial life that have plagued the Broad- 
way theater are now very much part of 
off Broadway's existence. The hitor-miss 
syndrome (a show is cither a hit or a has- 
been), endemic to the uptown маде, has 
wreaked havoc among even the most 
modest of downtown product Thus,

hing that still goes on off Portugal; an 
annual do in Osaka when hundreds and 
hundreds of youths crowd into a small 
temple for à religious contest. Ecco! 
only echoes its predecessors; but for 
those who liked them, here is even more. 


The Harlow sweepstakes is now over. 
The Carol Lynley and Carroll Baker 
flicks are now out, and as to which one is 
the "real" Harlow, the answer is “nei- 
ther" The Lynley film is a black-and 
white quickie made in Electronovision— 
a process wherein a scene is shot with 
several cameras, and angles may be 
switched without stopping the action. As 
in TV, they ca 


sce it as they film it and 
cam edit as they go. This first Harlow 
was made in eight days and is not as bad 
that sounds, The photography and 
lighting are under par, but Miss Lynley, 
uying hard, sometimes hits the mark; 
Hurd Hatfield is impressive as hubby 
Paul Bern; Ginger Rogers and Barry 
Sullivan, as Ma and Step.pa, pass a cou 
ple of musters. Alex (AU the Way Home) 
Sesal probably did the best direction 
posible with a low-level script and 
a high-speed shooting schedule. The 
Baker opus, riding high on Joseph E. 
Levine's pinnacle purse, rolls in with 
Panavision and Technicolor and some of 
the swankiest settings since Gloria Swan 
son. There's the bedroom of a million 
aire (Howard Hughes?) with a panel of 
push buttons that operate everything. 
Well, almost. everything. And there are 
producers’ offices and stars’ homes such 
as they would like us 10 believe don't ex- 
ist anymore. Carroll looks more like 
Harlow than Carol, but she gives some 
instructive lessons in How Nor to Act 
(Catch the scene where she looks in her 
puse a 
lunch: more Mary Pickford than Har 
low.) Anyway, neither Carroll nor Carol 
has a bit of the Blonde Bombshell's 
slinky, sexy. comic quality. John. Michael 
Hayes’ script for Baker is based on the 
m 
and ranges from rapid repartee to stunted 
stalks that arent even corn. (Momma, 
all they want is my body") The story is 
ашау тоге or less the same in 
both pix, but there is a slightly diferent 
emphasis. Lynley's film portrays Marie 
Dressler and Maria Ouspenskaya as char 
acters who try t0 warn Step-ma about the 
groom's condition (impotence); the Bak- 
er film builds up Arthur Landau, Jean’s 
agent, who supplied Shulman with info. 
Landau is played by Red Butions in still

ter ved line is put there to remind you 
that if you go much past it you arc likely

er will run to the limit before shifting,

Impotence is often induced by guilt, 
and since your friend has no difficulty 
with his wife, this could very well be his 
problem. Why don't you maintain your

would solve his sexual conflict) and find

on subjects raised by “the playboy philosophy” 


RIGHTS BEFORE BIRTH 
the June Forum, Richard Kelly 
opines that the legal point at which а 
human being comes ino existence 
should be established as the moment of 
birth. This would leave the way open to 
legalizing unrestricted abortions 

Т would like to refer Mr. Kelly to the 
April 30 issue of Time magazine which 
reported on an interesting aspect of this 
question in iis "Law" column on page 58. 

It seems that recent court. decisions 
have granted damages to people who 
have эней for injuries sustained. before 
they were born. It has been proven. by 
medical science, the article pointed out, 
that the fetus is most susceptible 10 per- 
manent injury during the first three 
months of pregnancy. On this basis, ju- 
ries have been awarding damages for in- 
juries sustained during this period. 

Now, the question that arises is this: If 
a person has the legal right to sue for 
mages sustained before birth, can hc 
not also make claim to the most basic of 
able rights—the right to life? 
k he c 
Viewed in this light, abortion is sim- 
nd is no more a solution to 
n problem than Hitler's 
policy of genocide.

d with disgust the lewer entitled 
‘The Case for Abortion” by Richard 
Kelly in the June Forum. 

I do not intend to express my views 
on abortion, but merely to point out 
Mr. Kelly's unfamiliarity with the acts, 
his illogical presentation, and the inhu- 
mane attitudes expressed in his letter. 


First, in discussing when a human 
being legally comes into existence, he 
says: "What more reasonable point 


could be chosen than that of birth? Sure- 
ly no one will say that when the sperm 
first penetrates the egg а human being 
with legally enforceable rights has come 
into existence..." 

As a mater of fact, there are those 
who hold the theory of Immediate Ап 
mation. This theory states that the soul 
is infused at conception. Thi 
embryo a human being; that is, it has a 
body and soul. Jt seems to me that a hu- 
man being deserves legally enforceable 
rights [rom the tim 
ence, solely on the grounds that it is 
human. 


There is another theory, that of Medi- 
ate Animation, which says that the soul 
is infused. when the embryo takes on the 
shape of a human (six to cight weeks). If 
this theory is true, an embryo deserves 
legally enforceable rights six to eight 
weeks after conception. 

But the belief of most philosophers 
that the soul is infused when no further 

ivision of the embryo is posible; that 
is, when it is impossible for identical 
twins to be formed. Even in this case, 
the embryo deserves legally enforceable 
rights before birth 

‘The Catholic Church's position is that 
the soul is infused at some point before 
birth, and since the exact time when this 
occurs cannot be known, abortion, even 
in the early weeks of gestation, may in- 
volve the destruction of a human being. 

Mr. Kelly says that countless human 
lives injured by the Catholic 
Church's inhumane stance. First of all, 
the number of injuries per year which 
abortion would prevent is far from 
countless. Secondly, he ignores the num- 
ber of human beings (embryos) that are 
killed every year. 
Mr. Kelly asks, “Is it in society's best 
terest to force an unwanted 
couple that is not yet mature or finan- 
cially stable?” I say that it is in society's 
best interest to prevent the con 
of unwanted chikhen. The question 
could be: Is it in the couple's best inter- 
est? Perhaps not, but there are more hu- 
mane actions that could be taken than 
abortion. 

Mr. Kelly says that “legalized abortion 
to the existence of the premari- 


aby oi 


prion 


ul freedom that Mr. Hefner. ad- 
vocates . . ." To my knowledge, Mr. 
Hefner does not advocate premarital 


conception. He advocates premarital sex 
ual freedom respon 
sible enough to prevent conception. 
If there is a case for abortion, it cer- 
ly was not presented by Mr. Kelly.

We believe there is a case to be made 
for abortion, and Hefner intends devot-

Is a rather sad commenury on 


PLAYBOY editorial viewpoint that you 
were so quick to sympathize with the sex 
offender whose letter appeared in your 
June Forum. 

By the offender's own statements, he is 
a “college graduate [and] an ех-СЇ” and 
as "a radio-TV personality . . . with a 
rather large teen [with 
а] home . . . swimming pool and builtin 
hi-fi [and] а new Jaguar XK-E.” This 
probably puts him in the 22-to-28-year 
old age group, and in a position to wield 
great influence with young, impression- 
able teenagers. lt is easy to imagine how 
one in his position might involve a 
g girl in such an act with “no force 
involved.” 

Consider also his statement that nci- 
the girl nor ever 
brought any charges against him. It is 
easily understandable that the family 
would want to avoid any publicity 
such a mater. This raises the questio 
then, of how the issue did come to ligh 
If neither he nor the girl disclosed their 
actions, the act must have been wit- 
nessed by someone, and this is surely not 
something that should be done in public 
or in any place where the public might 
chance to be 

If you weren't so quick to jump to the 
defense of a person who has suffered at 
the hands of а law with whidi you dis

should be categorized as a “dirty old 
man" or, quite possibly, a pervert.

My husband and E are shocked by the 
fact that authorities сап step in and сш

Each individual is able to help in a 
different way—as the telegram abo 
clearly indicates. The average citizen can 
help combat suppressive sex and censor

Тему to his own state and local elected 
officials, and to the newspapers, radio and 
TV. stations that. in turn, influence com- 
munity opinion. Quite probably, if there 
had been any sort of public outcry in 
Donn Caldwell's behalf when he was 
originally arrested. he would never have 
been railvoaded into prison: almost cer- 
tainly, a single crusading West Virginia 
newspaper editor, or radio ov TY news- 
caster, who had been willing to take 
Caldwell’s case to the people, could have 
saved him. But no one cared enough to 

involved. 

That's what the average citizen can 
do to help—he can care enough. he can 
get involved, because he realizes that the 
erosion. of just one man’s unalienable 
rights unquestionably affects us all. As 
John Donne said

heavily on my mind whenever such “jus- 
tice” is mentioned: Are cases such as 
Donn Caldwell ever appealed? He was 
denied probation, but could he not have 
been retried in a higher cour? | am 
thinking mainly of a test case to have 
such puritanical laws judged unconstitu- 
tional. 

I cannot accept an Orwellian society 
thar enters the bedroom and dictates 
personal sexual mores. For even n 
couples to be convicted of practicing fe 
atio (along with nearly every other sex- 
ual practice, barring simple coitus) seems 
incomprehensible. It is akin to being im- 
prisoned for eating strawberries during 
the month of June or being incarcerated 
lor wearing the color green. Are there 
по avenues of law open to test and erad- 
icate such statutes other than for. state 
es to revoke the laws (which seems 
unlikely)? 

l am not knowledgeable in constitu- 
tional Jaw, but doesn't freedom of sexual 
practice come under some aspect of the 
Constitution? Surely it involves the pur 
suit of. happiness. 

Perhaps you, as the only voice damn- 
ing irrational sex laws, could enlighten 
me concerning this heartfelt query. 
Mrs. Derrick W. Brown 

Willingboro, New Jersey 

Sexual freedom, like the right oj mar- 
ital privacy, is nat mentioned specifically 
in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights 
or later amendments. Hopefully, how- 
ever, the Supreme Court's recent decision 
invalidating Connecticut’s antiquated 
birth-control law will establish a healthy 
precedent. Justice Douglas, in his ma- 
jority opinion, cited the First, Third, 
Fourth, Fifth and Ninih Amendments, 
all relating to “zones of privacy,” with 
which the high Court held the Connecti 
cut anticontraception law interfered; 
so, it would seem, do most state sodomy 
statutes, and for much the same reason. 
In addition, as Hefner has pointed out 
previously, there is the basic question of 
whether or not any law which is clearly 
no more than a secular codification of a 
religious taboo isn't an infringement of 
the First Amendment's guarantee of a 
separate church and state (see the letter 
that follows). Hefner will consider the 
constitutional implications of U.S. sex 
slation in greater detail in his next 
allment of “Philosophy.”

CHANGING DEFINITION OF PERVERSION 
After reading Donn Galdwell’s leer 
the June Forum, 1 immediately re 
called a discussion friends and. 1 
had recently about the delinirions of the 
terms cumilinctien and fellatorisin which 
are found in Stedman’s Medical Diction- 
an. 

Cunnilinction and tell are 
both defined as forms of sexual perver 
sion, the former a lingual-vulvar contact, 
the later а buccal-penal contact. Since 
cunnilinction is a natural. and. common 
occurrence among many species of ani- 
mals, as is fellarorism (althou 
leser extent), we concluded. that ei 
(1) animals пе perverted or (2) the 
in question are not forms of perversion 

Obviously. the definition of the erm 
perversion is a changing опе. relative to 
the time and place of its usige, I per 
version is defined as "contrary to nor 
mal,” then we suspect that Mr. Stedman 
is ignorant of both animal and human 
sexual contact. If perversion is defined 
as "contrary to the moral way,” then we 
thank Mr. Stedman for including a bit 
of his personal morality in his dictionary 
definitions, 

On the other hand, Dorland's Medical

SEX IN SWEDEN 

I am an Ameri sociology 
in Stockholm, Sweden. In one of the 
seminars 1 attend, we examine Swedish 
sexual attitudes and behavior. It. would 
seem that the common conception ol 
Swedish sin," held by many Americans 
and reflected by Rabbi Tanenbaum's 
statement thar there is a “proble 
sexual promiscuity between unm 
males and females. with a kind ol m 
tional license that operates there” (Feb- 
ruy 1965 Playboy Philosophy), is rather 
imaccursite Although there are disap- 
pointingly few sociological or psycholog: 
ical studies on the issue in Sweden, those 
studies that exist would seem to indicate 
that the percentage of people indulging 


in premarital sexual relations is not 
much greater in Sweden than in the 
United States 

But there is, of course, a great 
difference between the sexual attitudes 
їп the two countries. In the United 


States, premarital relations are roundly 
and almos universally condemned. 
whereas in Sweden they are nor only tol 
erated. but often con: 
proper. Sweden's reputation of allowing 
greater freedom in al relations 
would actually scem to be based on this 
more liberal ude. rather dan a 
reflection of actual practic 

Tt should be added that he Swedish 
concept of free love docs not condone 
promiscuity, but is a highly moral con- 
cept stressing the development of re- 
sponsibility. In fact. my guess 
that promiscuity is less frequent 


deu than in the United States. On the 
other hand. Swedes acknowledge that 
the situation is somewhat. less than per- 


feet, but rather than be prudish about it, 
they face the mutter candidly and openly 
ind try to bri bout some amelioration. 
Аз а footnote, I might add that the idea 
that the suicide rate is "enormous" (also 
expressed. by Rabbi Tanenbaum) or in- 
creasing in Sweden is alo incorrect. The 
rate has fluctuated in the ball century 
between 1911 and 1960, but has increased 
only L5 per 100.000 population from the 
period 1911-1915 to the period 1955— 

1060. a truly i ficint. difference.

and sometimes innocuous generalizations 
of the clergy. m overly sensi- 
tive in this area, but it seems to me that 
they appeared to be theological straight 
men Гог Hefner's articulate commentary 

Hefner's comment on the freedom of 
the individual is an unassailable prem 
ise. The right of the individual, from 
which Mr. Hefner says everything else 
evolves, is of paramount importance to 
us all. I agree with him when he says "T 
believe that every individual should 
have the right to explore his own indi- 
viduality. and that society should assist 
him in this" However, our paths begin 
to diverge when Mr. Hefner says “I be- 
lieve that man is a rational being, and 
though his heredity and environment 
play a major role in establishing the pat- 
tern of his existence. he possesses the 


ability to reason and the capacity of 
choice not granted to the lower an 
mals.” I believe man is indeed a rational 


being and does have the capacity to 
choose, but 1 suppose 1 am more aware 
that along with man's finite freedom, he 
is sometimes subtly enslaved by his own 
al blocks and he is not above 
others, While I do believe 
man can make a rational choice and can 
behave decently, | have scen too many 
instances where he has both enslaved and 
exploited his fellow man. In no one 
of life can a person be more dehuman- 
ized, exploited or enslaved than in sex. 
There is a difference between. liberty 
wd liberinism. and individual frec- 
dom is always subject to two qualifica- 
tions: that a man's act will not enslave 
another person. and that a man's acts 
will not enslave himself, While I share 
Hefner's view that a man has the right 
to discover his own individuality, 1 do 
not believe he has the right to do so 


ea 


at the expense of violating the sume 
rights in others. Perhaps Hefner agrees 
with this. 


1 get the i 
AYBOY that this is not the case. 
or example, in one recent PLAYBOY 
fiction piece a girl said it was better 10 
make love under water where no talk is 
possible. This may be satisfying fe 
man, in the sense in which Theodore 
Reik. writes that sex for the man is sim- 
ply to be enjoyed like а good steak, and 
it may fulfill a man's personality or his 
selLexpression or his development. But 
it seems to me that this is the kind of 
depersonalization or dehumanization of 
the woman that is most reprehensible. 
The over-all impression 1 ger as 1 read 
PLAYBOY is that the women in the pic- 
tures and in the fiction pieces are simply 
dehumanized playgirls. 

In his editoria for December 1964 
Mr. Hefner says, “I certainly think that 
personal sex is preferable to impersonal 
sc but I can see mo logical jus- 
tification for g the latter. unless 
it is irresponsible, exploitive. coercive, or 
in some ways hurts one of the individu- 
als involved." This is precisely my point, 


pression from 


opposi 


that impersonal sex is exploitive, is en 
slaving, and is using the other person as 
an object precisely because she is imper 


sonal. A girl can be more victimized by 
sex than a man, The very symbolism of 
the sex act itsell—a man expelling. а 


woman receiving—is more than simply a 
description: it is a psychological fact. 
The consequences of sex im all their 
enormity bear more heavily оп woman 
than on man. 

While it m: 


be truc for the man, as 
Hefner says, that sex “offers a means of 
intimate communication between indi- 
viduals and а way of establishing person- 
al identification within a relationship,” 
it seems to me that straight sex is almost 
invariably destructive of personal rela 
tionships. However, when deep, abiding 
personal relationships have been estab- 
lished, then ses, while it does not 
strengthen the relationship, does noth- 
ing t0 damage it. Sociological and psy- 
chological studies seem to bear out that 
casual sex or straight sex is destructive of 
interpersonal relationships. On the oth- 
er hand, when premarital relationships 
have strong interpersonal bonds, then 
sex has little effect on the strength of the 
relationship. For the woman sex often is 
used as a weapon in the husband hunt. 
For the man, straight sex is all too often 
a method of taking out hostility on 
women. 

Another point that bothers me in The 

Playboy Philosophy the following 
statement of Hefner's: “I think the best 
sex, the most meaningful sex, is that 
which expresses the strong emotional 
feeling we call love. And I think you can 
find the emotion implicit in a great deal 
of what the magazine has to say about 
the male-female relationship, because 
PLAYnoY is a very romantic publicatio: 
It is precisely because Hefner confuses 
love with romance that I find the most 
ious fault in the magazine. There is a 
great difference between love and ro 
mance. and such qualities of love as rc 
sponsibility, respect and knowledge are 
vastly different. Irom romance. Whe: 
these qualities are present, sex, premar 
tal or otherwise. is morally right. In fact, 
what we have is a moral marriage. if not 
technical marriage. But the tragedy of 
our time, as I sec it, that 100 many 
people confuse romance with love, affec 
tion with commitment, and passion with 
responsibility. 

While I am all for what Hefner sug- 
gests when he says it would be good if 
young people "would only wait a bit 
and spend a Hule ume finding them- 
selves, before anempting to find their 
mates for а lifetime.” | do not believe 
this really must significantly involve 
because in at least some of the stu.

Rather than leading to a faithful rela- 
tionship within marriage, one of the 
frustrations occurring because of roman 
tic sex is that inevitably the boy decides 
that he cannot really trust any female 
and the girl decides that all a n wants 
is to go to bed. The more this is encoun- 
tered, the more both men and women 
lose the very thing that Hefner and I 
would agree is of paramount impor- 
tance: the development of one’s own 
personality. 

Let me close in saying that while I do 
not agree with much of what St. Paul 
about sex, it does seem to me 
a single sentence what 
equate sexual code 
for our time: All things are lawful 
unto me, but all things are not expedi- 
: all things are lawful for me, but I 
will not be brought under the power of 
any." I Corinthians 6:19. 

Dr. Richard C. Devor, Chaplain 
Allegheny College 
Meadville, Pennsylvania 

We cannot accept the contention that 
all casual, uncommitted, impersonal, 
transitory or lighthearted sex is destruc- 
live. Emotional involvement can make 
sex—or any other interpersonal activity 
—more meaningful and rewarding, but 
it doesn't follow that sexual intimacy 
without involvement is necessarily neg 
alive. The inability to recognize that sex 
play and pleasure can be positive, in and 
by themselves, is a veflection of the neo- 
puritan need to continue treating sex as 
something sacred or profane. The phe- 
nomenon we lerm neopuritanism is 
especially pronounced. among contem- 
porary clergy, where explicit puritanism 
is increasingly considered a Christian 
her but churchmen still insist on 
investing the sex act with the same 
supernatural implications. The same suf- 
pressive sexual morality that was previ- 
ously expressed in direct religious 
prohibitions is now justified with pseudo 
sociopsychiatric references that only 
emphasize the pathetic puritanism that. 
motivates them. 

Your statement that premarital sex 
can be morally right isn't the expression 
o] permissive humanism that it seems, for 
il exists in a context of severe antisex 
ualism. You write: ". . 
almost invariably destructive of personal 
relationships. However, when deep, abid- 
ing personal relationships have been es- 
tablished, then sex, while it does not 
strengthen the velationship, does nothing 
10 damage it.” Some endorsement, Sex 
тау hurt, but it can never help! Despite 
the passing reference to “sociological 
and psychological studies” (your own?), 
these conclusions on the effects of sex in 
courtship have no foundation in fact. 

And your statement that, while it 
would be good if young people waited 
a bit longer before getting married, “1 
do not believe that this really must sig- 
nificantly involve sex," is incredible.

SEX WITHOUT LOVE 

There is one point on the subj 
sex that I do not believe has been ade 
quately discussed in. The Playboy Philos- 
ophy. What are the consequences of sex 
without emotional involvement? You say 
that Hefner believes "sex without love is 
berer than no sex at all” (The Playboy 
Forum, April 1965), but I contend that 
this idea suggests only the quick, imper- 
sonal visit 10 the local brothel. 

While this may be an acceptable intro- 
duction to the world of sex. I cannot be- 
lieve that the mature mı 
the sexual satisfaction he desires without 
emotional involvement with his partner. 
The problem here may be in the usc of 
the word “love.” "Sex without love" is a 
rather nebulous statement, since the 
word Jove has various meanings to 
different people. For a sexual relation- 
ship (as opposed 10 an ephemeral physi 
cal satisfaction for one party) there must 
be mutual desire, which requires a cer- 
tain amount of emot involvement 

Joseph W. Drewry 
Virginia Polytechnic Institute 
Blacksburg, Virginia 

Mutual desire doesn't necessarily re- 
quire emotional involvement. Obvious- 
ly, two people can just go to bed Jor the 
sheer pleasure of il. However, that 
doesn't negate your main argument thal 
sex is better with emotional rapport. We 
agree.

We probably do more damage by at-

prudery and permissiveness are about.

strictions at all defending themselves 
against the charge of promiscuity by 
linging "love" in the lace of criticism. 
They exalt sex with a fervor bordering 
on religious zeal. 

So the conservatives rave about 
responsibility.” which is just a 
saying you're doing something T don't 
the liberals scream “tyrant.” 
which is to say you're telling me 1 can't 
do something I want to. The upshot is 
that everyone loses sight of the real 
problem: which is, as Hefner has often 
aid, whether anyone has the right to 
regulate a purely personal activity be- 
tween consenting adults when that activ- 
ity does no violence to the society in 
which they live. 

Hefner uses the old love and responsi- 
bility gambit 100 often, though, There 
simply is no sexual activity among adults, 
within the context of mutual consent, 
that needs justification or reason, Sex 
just îs, and to uy to defend or justify it 
is as silly as defending or justifying the 


force of gravity. And, D might add: to 
deny it is just as hopeless! 
The I behavior of humans is 


ed. Any activity ex- 
ovulation is a waste of ellort 
as far as reproduction. is concerned, 
(Which. incidentally. is why the Catholic 
attitude toward birth control is such ar- 
rant nonsense.) Any further sexual activ- 
ity [except during ovulation for the 
purpose of conception] is. for the female, 
a means of securing the continued auen- 
tions of a husband. This need not be a 
conscious thing; it is simply the way we 
re made. The human child requires an 
extended period of сате and education 
This is best provided in a Family situa- 


tion, which is preserved by the cont 
ing sex relationship between the parents. 
To impute so much value to emotion- 


zc dt 


al involvement in sex is to agge 
all out of proportion w its importance. 
Members of an advanced culture can 
afford the luxury of seting themselves 
the prerequisite of love, if they wish: but 
there is certainly little cultural or bio- 
logical basis for such a requirement. 

What is required is to dispel some of 
the mystical auributes of love, and re- 
store sex to its proper position as a good 
asant, and quite dispensable (ex- 

s reproductive funcion) рах 
ne. Let us put aside sex per se and 
rae on the abstract concept. of 
personal. freedom, 


Fisher, Jr.

Hefner doesn't associate sex with love 
in order to justify the former; he agrees 
that it requires no such justification. 
Sex with emotional involvement is pref- 
erable to sex alone, because it doubles 
the pleasure that way, providing both 
physical and emotional satisfaction at 
the same time. As for our society's “odd 
preoccupation with love," we confess to 
enjoying the “emotional han and 


we think it would be a rather drab old 
world without it. Actually, we seem to 
have а higher regard for love and sex 
than you do. For if youre under the 
impression that, apart from procreation, 
the only reason. women engage in sex 
is lo secure “the continued attentions” 
of men, you have a lot ta learn about 
the opposite sex—in both departments. 


CHRISTIAN RE-EXAMINATION 
1 generally agree with the views ex- 

pressed in the Philosophy portion of 
your fine publicati 
your conviction that the puritinical ver 
sion of religion (which is hardly Chris- 
tian!) has done great damage to the 
proper understanding of one of God's 
very good gilts, human sex. 
That revolution in 
thinking on the subject is, in my opin- 
ion, a very good thing, and while nor ad- 
vocating licentious y form, 1 
believe that both professionals and laity

role of sex in their own lives and in the 
larger life of society.

PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: PET E R O'T О О [, Е 


a candid conversation with the impudent, irreverent irish actor 


Our interviewer is the noted English 
drama critic Kenneth Tynan, whom 
readers will remember as the author 
of our September 1963 interview with 
Richard Burton, as well as of two 
PLAYBOY articles: "Papa and the Play- 
wright” (May 1961) and “Beate in the 
Bull Fang" (January 1965). Tynan writes 
of this month's charismatic subject: 

“Peter Seamus O'Toole, born in 
County Galway 32 years aro, became an 
emigrant at the age of one, when his 
family left Ireland to settle in the York- 
shire city of Leeds. Bad health and war- 
time evacuation kept him out of school 
until he was 11, and two years later he 
gave up formal education for good. Aft- 
er spells in journalism and the navy, he 
won a scholarship to the Roya! Academy 
of Dramatic Art in London. A speclacu- 
larly promising graduate, he went on to

Everyone else could come on drenched i

thing that hurt me most was when son

because I've always considered myself to

s being 


at the stage now where I don't give a 
damn what anybody says. АШ I care about 
is whether I think the work's going well. 
PLAYBOY: In 1959, the drama critic of 
The New Yorker said that you had 
“a technical authority that may, given 


discipline and purpose, presage great- 
ness.” Any comments? 


O'TOOLE: Discipline? I've always had that; 
despite the rumors, I'm one of the most 
frightening old d s who ever 
w breath. And purpose? If that means 
dedication and a serious point of view, 
let me remind you that it was me as 
Hamlet who opened the National 
Theater. 

PLAYBOY: You were once quoted in 
print as having said: “I want to do the 
film of My Fair Lady. Ill be good for 
me to act with Audrey Hepburn." Did 
you say that? 

O'TOOLE: Never in my life. 105 also in 
print that I'm living with Rudolf Nure 
yev, and that isn't true either. The simple 
fact is that someone from Warner Bros. 
approached me about My Fam Lady, 
and 1 said that 1 thought they were pot- 
ty and that the only man who could and 
should play Higgins was Rex Harrison. I 
did say 1 wouldn't mind playing Doolit- 
tle, but they didn't like that all. 
PLAYBOY: You've made your name in 
films playing tormented heroes who end 
up more or less martyred. Do you enjoy 
being "on the cross"? 

O'TOOLE: No, but I know what you 
mean. 1 read а piece about me the other 
day with a headline thar went: "rw 
TIRED OF PLAYING SUFFERING GENTS IN 
THE FAR EAST." But lets go through the 
list. Lawrence of Arabia? Yes. I suppose 
he was a martyr of sors, Henry Il in 
Bechet? Well, he ended up being 
whipped for his sins, but he didn’t enjoy 
й. He accepted it because it was politi- 
cally expedient, and he loathed every 
second of it. As for Lord Jim. he certain- 
ly chose to die, but 1 played him not fo 
that reason but because it was the only 
chance I'd ever had of doing a Western 
—or an Eastern, if you like. He was a 
nple, silent, tidden fellow who 
ides into town like Shane: I just fancied 
the idea. 

PLAYBOY: You've also appeared as God 
п John Huston's movie of The Bible. 
O'TOOLE: Yes, I played the Author. As 
a matter of fact, there are three of me in 
the film. Huston had this marvelous idea 
about the three strangers who appear to 
Abraham in Chapter 18 of Genesis. He 
thinks they're a pre-echo of the Trinity 
so I play all three of them, and one of 
them is God. 1 use three dillerent voices, 
ranging from senile Scunthorpe 10 juve- 
nile Scunthorpe. [The Scunthorpe dis 
uict in northern England is to Yorkshire 
what Brooklyn is to New York or Pomo- 
na to Los Angeles: а stock target for lo 
cal comics] 

PLAYBOY: You're among the very few 


screen actors who have ever played God. 
Whats He like in your version? 
OTOOLE: He's the full anthropomor 
phic God. He's the troubled old fellow 
who comes down and has to decide 
whether or not to blow up Sodom and 
Gomorrah. And He has the first recorded 
Levantine argument with Abraham about 
how many righteous people make a town 
worth saving—30. 30, 10; they really 
bargain with each other. When 1 ar- 
rived in Rome to start work, they gave 
me the usual first-Communion nightie 
and a pair of wings, because they obv 
ously hadn't read the Old Testament. 
So John Huston asked me how I thought 
Abraham would visualize God, and 1 
said it would be more like i 
statue, and so that’s how we did it. Its 
mthropomorphic with a ven 
cause we played it for a lot of fun. Wh

OTOOLE It depends what you mean

rassing experience. I've never. forgotten

going to direct, Dalton Trumbo has 
written the finest script that ever

the greatest actor in Japan—to play in it 
with me. Will Adams was the first Eng-

He was born in the lower classes, 
а he didn't come home to share the

wrecked on the shores of Japan, where 
the Jesuits grabbed him—the Portuguese 
Jesuits, whose main contributions to 
Japanese civilization were Chri

ctucified—as you've already spotted, the

when the emperor met him and liked 
him. He taught the emperor. mathem

about the only one of Elizabeth's great 
globe-rowters who didn't go to plunder. 
PLAYBOY: How did you find out about 
him?

told me the story. Have you seen the 
Zen garden in Kyoto? five rocks and 
load of pebbles—but the use of space! 
I sat there and 1 contemplated peace.

THE MOREAU 
MYSTIQUE 


an exclusive playboy 
introduction to the brooding, 
beguiling high priestess of 
today’s french cinemactresses 


UNLIKE MOST of the cinematic world's 
current leading ladies, France's Jeanne 
Moreau, by her own admission, possesses 
few of the physical assets commonly con- 
sidered prerequisites for projecting sex 
appeal. And yet La Moreau—as she was 
dubbed by the French press years ago— 
has been described by international film 
critics as "a slithering sensualist," “а cold, 
blasé beauty" and most of the other sexual 
superlatives normally reserved for only the 
most well-endowed filmic females. Eschew- 
ing any attempts to rank her among today's 
growing crop of celluloid sex goddesses 
(Beautiful? Of course not. That's the 
whole point about me, isn’t it?”), the 37- 
year-old Gallic femme fatale relies on her 
reputation as a versatile actress and out- 
spoken sensualist as the key to her charis- 
matic charm. As she puts it, “When | am 
in love, it influences my pleasure in acting. 
Most people don’t have the energy for pas- 
sion, so they give up and go to the movies.” 

Although dedicated to the screen as a 
vehicle for her voluminous talents, Miss 
Moreau first made her dramatic presence 
felt on the stages of Paris’ Comédie Fran 
çaise and Théâtre National Populaire. Not 
until 1959, with 20 “forgettable films” al- 
ready to her credit, did she find her movie- 
making métier as the star of Louis Malle's 
“The Lovers.” The first of many profes: 
sional/passionate men in her well-publi- 
cized private life, Malle launched her 
career as French filmdom's most desirable 
of devastated demoiselles. Now with star- 
ring stints in such films as “The Victors," 
“The Trial,” “Jules and Jim," “Banana 
Peel" and “1а Notte" behind her, Moreau 
has once again teamed up with director 
Malle in his forthcoming “Viva Maria!”, а 
fin-de-siéde tale of Latin American war and 
women, in which Jeanne and Brigitte Bar- 
dot share seductive honors across the same 
scenic Mexican countryside that provided 
the mood for this provocative portfolio. 


PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUGLAS KIRKLAND 


Moreau's flair for cinematic candor is often outshone by her own frankness. 
On men: “I learn well from men. Wouldn't my life be ridiculous if | didn't?" 


On love: “All women should keep their lovers, somel if they can.” 
On success: "Fame means nothing. You can't make love to it. . ." On 
politics: “I should have had ten love affairs instead of wasting all that 
lime," On herself: "My secret is to have no secrets. I'm transparent."

“like a regular play, only longer.” Horne 
һай not counted on quite that much size 
when he first tapped out the original 
three-page outline onc idle afternoon 
and dropped it on his agent’s desk. But 
the agent, эпі money, had promptly 
registered the title, multilithed a couple 
of dozen copies, and clobbered the 
town’s most epichappy producers until 
one of them, [ra Burnham, biting, had 
hired Horne, at а considerable weekly 
stipend, to work up a Treatment, a First 
Draft, a Second Draft, a Polish, a Tem- 
porary Complete and a Final Shooting 
Script. This was known as “licking the 
story,” a phrase which aptly though un- 
consciously synthesized the suspicious, 
hostile attitude toward that archenemy, 
the script. Each of the parts would be 
90 minutes in length, the whole to last 
four and а half hours, not counting the 
two intermissions. It was budgeted at 
000,000, but the smart boys said 
theyd be lucky if they brought it in 
under $30,000,000.

final touches to Sandy's sculpted coiffure. 
he was already in costume; her bosom, 
creamy and cloven, was taped high in 
side the low-cut period bodice. Rudy 
stood next to her, engaged in easy con- 
versation. Robin joined them. “Drove by

“but you weren't home. Wanted to show

START HERE 


TO ANTHROPOLOGISTS tracing the early 
history of mankind, there are sev- 
eral telltale signs that indicate 
when a primitive society becomes 
civilized. Two virtually infallible in- 
dications (after the discovery of fire 
and learning to get in out of the 
rain) are the fermenting of liquor 
and the invention of games to help 
man while away the time between 


hunts. The story of his attempt to | 


amuse himself by pushing objects 
along a board-game layout is almost 
as old as the saga of man himself. 

Sir Leonard Woolley at the ex- 
cavations around Ur of the Chaldees 
unearthed some superb game sets, 
forerunners of today's backgammon 
boards, inlaid with lapis lazuli, that 
have been dated at 3000 &.c. The

‘That the life of the gamester, while 
enjoyable. is not always tranquil has 
been writ for all to see. In Pompeii 
there is a mural depicting two men in a 
local tavern just about to come to blows 
over a game of Ludus Duodecim Scripto- 
rum, a backgammon type of pastime 
called The Game of Twelve Lines. The 
innkeeper can be seen rushing up to 
them uttering the classic phrase “Iis fo- 
ras rixsalis," which is. roughly, the Latin 
equivalent for "If you guys want to 
fight, get he hell outside." 

The Emperor Nero, that ignoblest Ro- 
man of them all, was a prodigious gam- 
bler at the Ludus board, wagering up to 
400,000 sesterces (about 517.000) a point. 
Nero could stand heavy losses, because 
he also loved simple heads-ortails Nip- 
ping contests for high stakes which he 
played with two-headed coins he had spe- 
cially minted, being Emperor. he always 
got first call. Another Ludus player wa 
Commodus, who went а step further and 
simply turned the imperial palace into a 
gambling casino with a brothel in the 
back. 

"Throughout history, the board games 
that men have invented for their pleas- 
ure have also been the mirrors of their 
desires, their environment, their social 
mores and, not infrequently, their per- 
sonal prejudices.

Honesty, Ambition and Truth would 
find himself heading toward Honor and 
ultimately to Happy Old Age. The

Game of Life (for some obscure reason 
no longer checkered), is still being sold, 
but the rewards and sctbacks encountered 
along the road are restricted largely to 
making or losing money. 

In 1889 America was immersed in thc 
Horatio Alger dream and enjoyed a 
game about getting ahead in business 
called The Othce Boy in which, accord- 
ng to the game instructions, is shown 
the haps and mishaps in the career of a 
businessman from the start as an office 
boy, gradually working his way up to the 
Head of the Firm. If he is careless, in- 
attentive or dishonest, his progress is re-

positions; if capable, ambitious and ear- 
nest, his promotion is assured.

The modern colossus of all board 
games is, of course, Monopoly. It would 
be all but impossible to find a literate 
American over the age of 12 who has not 
been exposed to it at one time or апо 
er. The story of how it began is v 
American rags-toriches. 

Like a lot of men during the great 
Depression of the ‘Thirties, one Charles 
Darrow found himself unemployed. He 
stayed home and worked on а game he 
and his friends could play to while away 
the time ull things got beuer. Because 
he was interested in real estate and re 
membered the boom days of the Twen 
ties when he and his wife could go to 
Aulantic City for vacations, he devised а 
wading game about buying and sel 
property in that New Jersey resort, in 
duding a snip of the famous boardwalk 
itself (every land parcel in Monopoly is 
named after а site in Atlantic City, ex 
cept for Marvin Gardens, and no one, 
induding Mr. Darrow. can remember 
how it got in). His friends liked the 
game so much he made up some sets for 
them and then began selling a few to lo 
cal deparument stores. 

Darrow took his version to Salem. 
Massachusetts, and the head office of 
Parker Brothers. The leaders of the game 
industry, Parker Brothers had inno 
duced the European game of ping-pong

The members of the board played a 
few test rounds of Monopoly and liked 
it well enough, but it was clear that Mr. 
Darrow was an amateur at game design 
In the first place, it was Holy Writ in the 
industry that 30 to 45 minutes was the 
absolute maximum time limit for a 
board game. Darrow's invention could 
take as long as three or four hours per 
game. Ako. there was no "the end." 
Board games were supposed to work their

finally come to a definite stop somewhere.

the White House, Niagara Falls or the Grand Canyon. In- 
sicad, Prince Henry answered, “The sight in America I would 
most like to see? I would like to visit the Everleigh Club in 
Chicago.’ 

"Ihe members of the press were stunned with disbclicf, then 
alive with delight. Thereafter, they took the prince to their 
bosoms. For as they knew, and the more sophisticated male 
population of the United States (and apparently Europe) 
knew, the Everleigh Club was neither an attraction ordinarily 
discussed openly nor was it a men’s club in the ordinary sense. 
It was, as one periodical kindly pointed out, a club that "no 
one ever joined . . . or resigned from"; it was “a Chicago 
‘mustn't’: a house of ill—but very great—fame.” 

After presenting the United States Government with a 
statue of Frederick the Great, Prince Henry received his gift 
from the United States Government in return. He was escort- 
ed to Chicago, and there, after depositing a wreath on the 
Lincoln monument, taking a guided tour of the Loop and 
suffering a reception at the Germania Club, he was granted 
his one wish. At midnight on March 3, 1902, Prince Henry of 
Prussia was the guest of honor at a great party—the local 
newspapers called it an "orgy"—given by the two Southern 
sisters who were the madams of the Everleigh Club, and their 
retinue of $0 beautiful and uninhibited hostesses. 

It was a long and raucous night. Ten dancing girls, attired 
in fawnskins, wildly striking cymbals, amused the Prince 
while he solemnly discussed Schiller with Aida and Minna 


Everleigh, the proprietresses of the internationally renowned 
resort. Later in the proceedings, during a moment of high 
hi 


ity. the prince toasted the Kaiser (and the Everleighs) by 
champagne from a girl's silver slipper, thereby 
popularizing a custom that would know its full flowering in 
the 1920s. For the prince, the occasion had been extraordi- 
nary and memorable. For the Everleigh sisters, the royal visit 
had been enjoyable—but routine. 

During the nearly dozen years in which it flourished, the 
Everleigh Club rarely went а week without the appearance of 
some celebrity, either American or international. In the two 
years before Prince Henry's visit, and for almost a decade 
after, famous foreigners from every nation, after making their 
official rounds of the stockyards, lake front and municipal 
monuments, climaxed their sight-seeing with an evening in 
the Everleigh Club. 

The club's popularity was well descrved, because few bor- 
dellos had ever existed, or existed then, that could compete 
with its opulence and lavish hospitality. In the time of its 
greatness, the Everleigh Club enjoyed constant comparison 
with other competing maisons de joie in America and abroad, 
but almost always to its own advantage. "Typical among do- 
mestic competitors was The Castle in St. Louis, a three-story 
brick house managed by the plump and affable Negress Babe 
Connors, whose teeth were inlaid with diamonds. In this 
sporting house, Paderewski once accompanied the entertain- 
ers’ bawdy songs on the piano, and in its rooms a Republican 
national platform was once written, and from within its walls 
Та-татата Boom-de-ay swept on to plebeian acceptance. 
Here, the young girls, octoroons, "girls in long skirts, but 
without underclothing, would dance on a huge mirror.” 
‘Typical among the Everleighs’ foreign competitors was the 
House of All Nations in Budapest, a $100,000 house of ill 
fame on Andrassy Street, where a reception parlor featured 
"portraits of the women, nude, from which you made your 
choice. You then touched an electric bell push under the 
photograph and it was covered, so that the next visitor would 
know the lady was engaged." 

Yet, despite such unique and imaginative competition, the 
Everleigh Club of Chicago, from its rise in 1900 to its fall in 
1911, was the most renowned and unusual brothel in the 
world, overshadowing all similarly exotic establishments 
before and since, from Paris to Shanghai. 

The founders of the Club—"the most famous madams in 
American history," the late Polly Adler called them—came 


from an old Welsh family that had settled in Virginia in 1679. 
The father of the Everleigh sisters was a successful and edu- 
cated Kentucky attorney who spoke seven languages. Their 
mother counted Edgar Allan Poe among her ancestors. Of the 
children produced by this couple—there were at least five, two 
sons and three daughters—the most prominent were to be 
Aida (although the press often referred to her as Ada), born 
in February 1876, and Minna, born in July 1878. As young- 
sters, the sisters showed great promise—Minna had begun 
reading books at the age of five—and when they were adoles- 
cents, they were enrolled in one of the finest Southern finish- 
ing schools, where both excelled in elocution and play-acting. 

In their respect and affection for each other, the sisters were 
almost as close as Siamese twins. Sibling rivalry was not yet a 
part of the common language. And so when Minna, at the age 
of 19, fell in love with a Southern gentleman and was married 
to him in an expensive ceremony, it was пос surprising that 
Aida, aged 21, married the Southern gentleman's brother 
shortly afterward. Minna's marriage was of brief duration. 
“Her husband was a brute—suspicious and jealous,” observed 
a friend. A few weeks after the honeymoon, Minna left her 
husband and her old Kentucky home and fled to Washington, 
D.C. It was only natural that within a week, for the same 
reasons, Aida left her husband to join her sister. 

Since the Everleigh sisters had inclinations toward theatri- 
cal careers, and were attractive, they auditioned for several 
stock companies going on the road, and were accepted by one 
such company. At the time, the younger of the sisters, Minna, 
was the more aggressive of the pair. She was a blue-eyed 
redhead, slender, lively and ambitious, with а keen business 
mind and a love of reading. Aida was a quiet and trim 
blonde, and she worshiped her younger sister. 

For several months the sisters were on the road as actresses, 
touring the country from New York to Texas. This experi- 
ence with their fellow troupers gave them an enduring aver- 
sion toward all actors. Years later, Minna would still say, “I 
don't like actors, as a rule. They all have a little of John 
Barrymore in them, all of them assuming a hundred different 
guises.” Finally, disenchanted by the exhausting and uncom- 
fortable life of the road-show player, and discouraged by the 
lack of chances for advancement, they began to look about for 
a more stable and ladylike means of existence. Then a series 
of events occurred that would soon cast them ii 

En route to appearances at the Trans: pi 
tion in Omaha, Nebraska, they learned that their E had 
died and left them an inheritance of $35,000. While wonder- 
ing if they could become independent by investing this mon- 
ey in a different field, they overheard an actress friend one 
day drop a remark that gave them the idea for a business. 
The actress had complained that her parents considered the 
stage no better than “а den of iniquity” and the career of 
actress no better than that of a prostitute or madam. Al- 
though the Everleigh sisters joked about it at first, they soon 
began to discuss more seriously the possibility of investing 
their inheritance in a career which, though it was considered 
no more respectable than acting, might nevertheless be far 
more profitable. 

Before investigating this new business, however, they decid- 
ed to meet more people and learn what else was possible. In 
Omaha, they quit their theatrical troupe and determined to

connections, they got themselves invited to dinners and soi-

they found themselves ostracized by the upper-class wives, and 
Minna began to speak darkly of avenging herself on them by

veered over to the left and lay implacably against the peg. His warning light came on a lull,

as many electrical connections as he could reach, but nothing came of that. It was now just a 
question of driving as far as he could on his battery, which, thank God, was up to full ch. 
from all the mileage since Chicago. 

Forty miles down the road, practically groping by now and pray:

about a foreign generator this side of Toledo, and certainly not at this time of night. He made 
it into Toledo at three, found a motel operated by a motherly woman who hated him on sight, 
and slept until morning. 

In Toledo, he was sold his own generator, rebuilt, and a new voltage regulator. Two

Meanwhile, in Warren, Ohio, he had fallen in love. 

Love in Warren was very much like love everywhere; he had found a motel for himself, 
since the Toledo stop had arranged his timing to get him into trouble after all the garages 
were closed, and had asked the desk clerk for the name of a decent place to eat. Directed to a 
place which was "good but not dressy," he found it was mediocre but dressy; the hostess moved 
him quickly to a very quiet table in alcove beside the kitchen doors. He sat there in his

HORSING THEM IN WITH HEMINGWAY 


memoir By ARNOLD GINGRICH 


HOWARO MUELLER 


When it looked like Dos Passos was going to lose the battle with his barracuda, Hemingway yelled for a gun. 


“Gingrich is a pretty keen fisherman,” I said. 
“I started him," said Hemingway. 


ROBERT EMMETT GINNA 
in a May 1958 interview with Ernest Hemingway 


: шрх'т, and even if he had, the deep-sea fishing I 
did with Ernest Hemingway would have been a false 
start, never leading to any real appreciation of the 
deepest satisfaction of angling. We fished out of Key 
West and out of Bimini, first in "34 on the Anita, the 
boat that belonged to Josie Russell, and later in 35 
and 736 on the Pilar, the boat Ernest bought when 
Esquire advanced him the money he lacked to com- 
plete the deal. Most of that fishing м d work, 
calling for a great deal of back-bending exertion, and 
though some of it was fun, none of it was what I later 
r real angling. 

Ernest was a meat fisherman. He cared more about 
the quantity than about the quality, and was more 
concerned with the capture of the quarry than with 
the means employed to do it. He was also—and this 
is what no true angler is—intensely competitive about 
his fishing, and a very poor sport. If the luck was out, 
then nobody around him could do any right, and he

promote everybody in his company to high rank as 
good fellows, and was jovially boastful about their 
every least accomplishment, as well as own. But 
let a hook pull out and his attitude was never to 
praise the fish that managed to bend it, but only to 
blame the hookmaker. 

In Bimini in June of “36, when the Adlantic record 
for marlin stood at 736 pounds, Ernest hooked a 
beautiful bright silver marlin h che coloration of 
a young fish. It was big, and as it leaped again and 
again, with a long, low trajectory like that of a horse 
going over steeplechase barriers, its faint lavender 
stripings glistened in the sun like the light flashing 
off a diamond. Big fish, up in the 600- and 700-pound 
dass, usually looked dark, of an allover blue that 
almost verged on black. So Jane Kendall Mason, who 
had pioneered the Cuban marlin fishing with Hem 
ingway some five years earlier, who had a boat of her 
own and at least as much big-game-fishing experience 
as he had, ventured the guess that the fish might go

From the spectator's seat, the most noticeable expression of college football's growth and ferment is seen in the frequency and

everyone. As it happened, it pleased no one and all sorts of awkward game situations developed, with most teams taking dozens 
of deliberate game-delay penalties in order to switch platoons. Many other teams continued to play the old-fashioned game with

last year was the kookiest season in anyone's memory, with dozens of sure powerhouses folding up like punctured balloons and

THE SEX INSTITUTE 


in indiana’s quiet groves of academe, dr. kinsey and his 
associates slarted a remarkable research project and a revolution 


arlile By ERNEST HAVEMANN 


^ JOURNALIST who writes on a subject that in any way involves sex—as 1 have often had occasion 10 do 
in the past de 
ary issues such as homosexuality—would be a fool not to consult with the Institute for Sex Research, 
that famed institution founded in 1938 and incorporated in 1947 at Indiana University by the late great 
Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey. Being no fool (I hope), 1 have consulted regularly with the Institute. I often сай 
my friends on the stall long distance, and many a time I have flown to Indianapolis and rented a car at 


le on teenage marriages, campus marriages, marriage problems in general and subsidi- 


the airport to pay a personal call at the Institute, which is on the university campus at Bloomington, 
hour's drive to the south 

The inevitable always happens. The long-distance operator, when I ask for the Institute for Sex Re- 
search, Litters. The girl at the car-rental desk in Indianapolis, when 1 tell her that my address will be 
the Institute for Sex Research, raises her eyebrows. Sometimes 1 go along with the gag; 1 say that I 


n 


plan to offer my body to the Institute. But usually 1 am just depressed. Why should the Institute for Sex 
Research, 17 years after its first monumental study of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male first ap- 
peared, still be the subject of so much self-conscious merriment? 

Above all, why should its work still be so suspect? I frequently mention the Institute's findings in 
my articles and lectures, for nobody can. pretend to write or talk authoritatively about sex without men- 
tioning them. But almost every time, some editor takes me to task or somebody in the audience rises to 
challenge me. Don't 1 know—so go the questions—that the Institute's work has been criticized by some 
of the most prominent psychoanalysts and social scientists in the world? Am I really so naive as to believe 
that all those people interviewed by the Institute staff told the truth about their sex lives? 

Well, all right. I can sce considerable merit in the psychoanalysis’ criticism. And I don't necessarily 
believe that the people interviewed by the Institute were either totally honest or gifted with total re 


call. But I do believe that the reports put out by the Institute are, in general, accurate—and that, further- 
more, they are the most important books that have been published in my lifetime. I believe that the 
Institute has done more to change the pattern of modern life—and for the better—than any other insti- 


tution that ever flourished on American soil, with the one possible exception of the Constitutional 
Convention. 

The Institute, in recent years, has been much less of a storm center than it used to be. The headline. 
making days of the giant reports on men and women are over; the more recent books, less sweeping in 
scope, have attracted far less attention. It operates nowadays almost in obscurity: Hf you ask the desk clerk 


at a Bloomington hotel to direct you to the Institute, 


ou are likely to get a puzzled look; and even your 
taxi driver will probably not know the way unless he happens to be an Indiana University student who 
has seen it on his way to classes. Certainly the Institute does not advertise its presence. Its outer door, 
hidden in an out-of-the-way corner of the third floor of one of the university buildings, looks like the en- 
trance to any routine classroom; the words INSTITUTE FOR SEX RESEARCH are (continued on page 152)

THE MUSES OF RUIN 


fiction By WILLIAM PEARSON what crapshooter ever threw the devil's bones without a special plea to а godde 


AMMIE LEADS ME into his casino and tells me to choose my table. Play is desultory at all of them; it is the middle of the Las 
Vegas dinner hour. The combo is serenading us with twangy country music: The harmonica and fiddle go into a wild hoedown 
le and the kazoo rides after their medley like a posse of hornets. 

1 know the table I want. Eddie Reilly, that melancholy old. veteran of the Mississippi mbling boats, is on the stick, and Rick 

s is one of the dealers. 1 don't think Sammie will try switching dice on me—the casino license is worth 20 times my 550.000 
if he does try, 1 don't think Eddie will let him. 

1 am trembling, but not because 1 am having second thoughts about risking the entire $50,000 of the insurance money that 
came to me as my share of my father's estate. And not because 1 doubt my own capacity to ruin Sammie in this 15 minutes of no 
limit play to which he so eagerly agreed in his office upstairs. No, 1 am trembling because I stand at the edge of the cataracts men 
fall off into madness, and because it is now too tempting, too tempting to take this route into oblivion. For through the roaring in 
my ears I can still hear my wife's shattered voice confessing the story of how Sammie had, on three different occasions since our 
marriage, forced her into bed with him 

Sammie relieves the box man at the table I've chosen and sits down. The diamond stickpin in his tie flashes like a beacon, 
and his cool smile is that of a man sure he knows the buttons to push to make the world spin backward. And sure, ves, that he can 
finish me. But I see him glance at Mark Humset, whose real job as casino executive vice-president is to ride herd on Sammie on bt- 
half of the Chicago syndicate that now controls the operation, and the glance tells me what I needed to know: that Sammie will 
have to answer to Chicago, perhaps even with his life, for letting me play these 15 minutes with the sky the limit. 

I take up a position opposite Rick Douglas. Douglas has about him the swagger of a motorcyclist set to scream down the

THROUGH A WINEGLASS HAZILY 


a staggering account of one of the wettest junkets in history 


nostalgia by EDWARD B. MARKS IN THAT still-Depression year of 1937 my salary as associate editor of 
the American Wine and Liquor Journal was a mere pittance, but attractive fringe benefits went with the job. 

I particularly enjoyed the time spent around the town interviewing the greats and near greats of the trade that 
was being re-established in the United States following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. Many of these were the 
representatives of foreign wine and liquor concerns seeking to restore the name and fame of their brands, I remem- 
ber several talks with Charles Martell and Maurice Hennessy, who were striving gamely to kindle a taste for fine 
cognac in palates deadened by bootleg rye. And I recall an especially lively session with the Right Honorable An- 


Mg

drew Jameson, then 81 years old, who told me he had once shot buffalo on the plains with Teddy Roosevelt. A man 
not easily daunted, Jameson cherished the notion that quality-whiskey drinkers would prefer John Jameson's Irish to 
Scotch. In this hope, alas, he was deceived. Irish got off to a slow start in the post-repeal market, though the inven- 
tion of Irish coffee has since helped make up some of the lost ground. 

In those days, André Simon, dean of the gourmets, came from abroad to preside at the tastings of the Wine and 
Food Society, which generally took place at the Plaza. I hardly qualified as a gourmet, but my crass connection with 
the trade got me in. I succeeded in impressing an up-to-then skeptical young woman by escorting her to a superb 
tasting of oysters and champagnes. A trial of port wines and cheeses greased the way to another romantic triumph. 

I also recall, through a haze for which the interval of years can only partly be held accountable, the graduation 
exercises of the first bartenders’ school to function in the post-Prohibition era, Behind a brightly burnished bar that 
had been bountifully provisioned by a thoughtful distiller stood a dozen confident young men. The exercises differed 
from most commencements in that the graduation ceremony and final examinations took place simultaneously. In 
their gleaming white uniforms, the graduates awaited your drink order and your critique of their performance. The 
guests rose to the challenge. In a freeloading session probably unmatched in academic history, they conscientiously 
tested the virtuosity and versatility of the fledgling barkeeps, gravely recording their judgments (for as long as they 
could) on the official rating forms. 

My work took me to all forms of distilling, rectifying and wine-making establishments, including some whose 
hasty veneer of respectability but thinly concealed their more dubious status in Prohibition days. By way of encour- 
agement, I was usually invited to sample the newly legitimized products, and what I have referred to as fringe benefits 
came perilously close at times to being occupational hazards. One languorous spring afternoon, after a morning visit 
to a Brooklyn winery topped off by a heavy Italian lunch, I was interviewing an important distilling executive. I 
asked him a provocative question, leaned back expectantly for his reply, and immediately dropped off to sleep. 

Lest the reader be misled by these bibulous accounts, let me hasten to say that most of my days were grubby ones, 
spent in the business publication’s dirty, drafty office on Lafayette Street. There I wrote up my interviews, phoned 
trade sources for market quotations, edited correspondents’ copy, shamelessly cribbed relevant news items from the 
dailies, and spent long, lugubrious hours compiling entries and reading proof for the Red Book of the Wine and Liq- 
uor Trades, first directory of the resurgent industry. Our business manager had an idea a minute, and most of them 
involved more work for the harried editorial staff, which consisted mainly of me. I badly needed a holiday, but saw 
no chance of a respite until summer. Suddenly, deliverance came from an unexpected source. 

For some months, our advertising columns had carried advance notice of the Good Will Tour to France. The 
basic idea for the tour was a sound one. The French wine and liquor interests were anxious to extend their market 
in the United States. Americans traditionally crave to visit France. Why not charter the Ile de France, take oyer a 
shipload of American wine and liquor dealers to see the sights of Paris, visit the vineyards and distilleries and sample 
the goods at the source? The enterprising American promoters went the next step and persuaded the French to pick 
up most of the tab. The tourists’ outlay would be limited to the round-trip ship passage at minimum rates. All living 
expenses in France—hotels, meals, transportation, Paris entertainments—were to be defrayed by the French. 

I began to salivate when the first ad for the three-week tour appeared in our magazine, but there seemed little 
hope of making the wip. Our business manager had staked it out for his very own. But the winds of chance felled 
him with a nervous breakdown shortly before the take-off date and I fell heir to a first-class cabin for the journey. 

In a burst of generosity, I invited my sister along, at her expense. I gave her my cabin and she put down the 
minimum fare for a tourist accommodation which I occupied. On a glorious April morning our friends and relatives 
came to see us off, my brother brandishing a bon voyage bottle which proved wholly redundant, since one of the im- 
porters had ordered up drinks for all hands. ji 

As the sleek, immaculate ship churned out of its berth and made for the harbor, Phyllis and I joined the throng 
on deck, Though our own transatlantic travel had been limited to student trips, we sensed, early in the game, that 
this was going to be different from most luxury voyages. The passengers somehow lacked the soigné look of characters 
shown in the cruise-ship ads or depicted by Noel Coward in Private Lives. The bulk of the 800 on board were wine 
and liquor wholesalers, retail store owners and tavernkeepers making their first crossing, In dress and deportment 
they fell somewhere between an Atlantic City convention crowd and the Apalachin mob, First class did contain a few 
affluent importers and industry leaders, but most of those in the better cabins had landed there because an indulgent 
distiller had ponied up the higher fare to accommodate a favored customer. 

In addition to the Ile's superb cuisine, passengers were offered gratis an aperitif and a choice of fine vintage wines 
at luncheon on the first day. We took this as a commendable initial gesture on the part of one of the better-known 
importers, and were agreeably surprised when selected beverages of another importer made their appearance at din- 
ner. Imagine our pleasure when still another merchant played host for the evening's gala, with all drinks on the house. 
Besides all this, expensive favors were freely distributed. The following day three different firms gratuitously stocked 
the beverage side of the menu. And so it went for each of the six days of the voyage. The ship was afioat in more 
senses than one. I rode the tide happily until the evening Chauvenet's Sparkling Red Cap and a rolling sea did me in. 

But even in the privacy of a stateroom, one was exposed to the temptations of the bottle and other sybaritic en- 
ticements. Each cabin received daily injections of miniature and not-so-miniature gift bottles of brandies and liqueurs, 
cigarettes and cigars, chocolates, flowers and perfume for the ladies, and other lavish souvenirs. 

We reached Le Havre in a comatose state, and looked forward to a few relaxing days in Paris before visiting the 
wine districts. But any hopes of resting up were dashed when our tireless leaders plunged us into the daily schedule. In 
addition to large doses of the usual sight-seeing, we previewed the Paris Exposition of 1937, lost our francs at the grey- 
hound races at Courbevoie, and took in the Folies-Bergere and several fashion shows. (concluded on page 168)

Very few of. Bloomington's residents, or 
even the students and faculty of the uni- 
versity, have ever had occasion to walk in- 
to the reception room; and fewer still 
have passed through the locked door that 
leads back to the working quarters. This 
is mysterious and seldom explored terri- 
tory—and the source of most of the more 
enlightened sexual attitudes of the Amer- 
ica of the 1960s. Criticisms of the Institute 
sometimes seem to get more publicity 
than the Institute itself, but this is only 
a continuing echo of the old controver- 
sies, and hollow. Quiedy, slowly, but 
surely, the Institute's findings have 
gained the ultimate kind of acceptance. 
Scarcely a serious book is published to- 
day—on any kind of human behavior 
ranging from anthropology through 
psychology to sociology—that does not 
liberally quote the work of the Institute 
for Sex Research. 


To fully appreciate what the Institute 
has done to our modern world, a person 
must be old enough to havc arrived at 
adolescence, as I did, before 1948, when 
the Institute fired its first great bomb- 
shell in the form of Sexual Behavior in 
the Human Male. 1 grew up, їп those 
pre-1948 dark ages, in the little town of 
Chester, Illinois. It was an carthy town, 
surrounded by farmlands which the 
horses, саше and pigs were busy breed- 
ing. We young people knew “the facts of 
fe" from personal observation. Some of 
us practiced them: In my tiny senior 
class at the high school there were at 
least three girls whose graduation gowns 
covered pregnant abdomens. Yet we were 
incredibly ignorant—and so, indeed, were 
the adults around us. 

One day when I was in the eighth 
grade, a friend of mine suddenly jumped 
up from his seat and asked the teacher 
for permission to go outside and throw 
stones at the Devil. Startled, she told 
him to go ahead, and he did. Standing at 
the windows, we watched him pick up 
all the stones he could find in the school 
yard and hurl them as hard as he could 
at something that we were unable to see 
but that he apparently saw dearly. Poor 
fellow, he was the victim of one of those 
myths that used to torture so many peo- 
ple a mere few decades ago. He had 
been told that masturbation drives boys 
crazy—and because he believed the myth, 
he had gone temporarily out of his head. 

I had another friend whose high 
school years were turned into a night- 
mare because somebody saw him and an

less shenanigans one night. I never did 
find out exactly what they were up to—or 
supposed to be up to. Things like 
at were never spelled out in the polite 
language of pre-1918 America. But the 
word got around that this fellow was 
“queer,” and mothers refused to let their 
daughters have anything to do with him. 
1 think he took to believing in his own 
mind that he was "queer"; he tried to 
talk to me about it several times, but 
never could get around to frank details. 
He was one of the unhappiest fellows 1 
cver knew, until at last he moved away 
10 another town, got blissfully married 
and sired six healthy children. 

"here was a girl in the high school 
who was known as a "nymphomaniac." 
This was a mysterious word that none of 
us understood exactly, but it conjured 
up all sorts of wild visions of insatiable 
and debilitating abandon. Some of the 
boys, of course, managed to meet up 
with her in private, but nobody would 
have any part of her in public. She nev- 
er found a steady fellow, all the while 1 
ed in Chester, and as far as I know 
she is still unmarried. Poor girl, she wa 
not а nymphomaniac at all just a skin- 
ny, homely and neurotic kid tying her 
best to be popular. 

All these things were a commonplace 
in pre-1948 Ameri and nobody can 
even guess how much unhappiness they 
caused and how many lives they ruined. 

Now, of course, almost everybody 
knows better—and the one big reason we 
that the Institute for Sex 

as laid the facts on the line 
once and for all. 

Up until 1948, nobody really had the 
faintest idea whether masturbation was 
common or uncommon, "normal" or 
“perverted.” Now we know, from Sexual 
Behavior in the Human Male, that more 
than 90 percent of all men have commit- 
ted this act which my boyhood friend 
Chester had been led to consider а sin. 
If it drove people crazy, almost every- 
body would be crazy. (Sigmund Freud 
made an interesting error along this 
е. At one point in his career, because 
so many of his patients told him they 
had masturbated, he decided that mas- 
turbation was indeed a cause of emo- 
tional urbances. What he didn't 
know was that all the undisturbed people 
who never ted his ofice would have 
told him the same thing.) 

Up ший 1948, nobody knew how 
many men in America shared my other 
friend's experience of having had some 
kind of homosexual experience, from 
the vague to the specific. Now we know, 
again from Sexual Behavior in the Hu- 
man Male, that onc man in three has at 
one time or another had a homosexual 
experience reaching the point of огу 
ce docs not neces- 


Up until 1948, the “nymphomaniac” 
was a popular character in folklore and 
literature. But Sexual Behavior in the 
Human Male, and later Sexual Behavior 
in the Human Female have proved that 
sexual appetites and capacities, like 
everything else in nature, range along a 
continuous scale from the very weak to 
the very strong. Nowhere in the reports 
of the Institute for Sex Research does 
the word nymphomaniac even appear. 

The sexual misconceptions of the pre- 
1948 world were by no means confined 
to small towns like Chester. I went from 
there to Washington University. a so- 
phisticated school in the sophisticated 
city of St. Louis, and was surrounded by 
just as much abysmal ignorance 

For one semester 1 went to the univer- 
йуз law school in a vain effort to get 
interested in the safe and sure professio 
of the lawyer instead of the insecure life 
of the journalist. Опе member of the 
law class was a married man, a rarity 
among students in those days. Не as- 
sured us solemnly that his wife practiced 
the most effective possible form of birth 
control by using a douche composed of 
one tablespoonful of vinegar in a quart 
of warm water, and we believed him. At 
the end of the semester his wife was 
pregnant—and so, I suppose, were the 
girlfriends of some of the fellows who 
had followed his advice. 

It could hardly happen 
body can go to a good phys 
states where it is still theoretically 
against the law to disseminate informa- 
tion about birth control—and get the 
facts. And the facts are available in well- 
documented detail. Ever since Sexual 
Behavior in the Human Male made 
sex research respectable, other explorers 
have been at work in this once-shunned 
field. 1 don’t mean to belittle Margaret 
Sanger and her followers, who won the 
first battles for family planning; but it 
was the pioneer work of Dr. Kinsey that 
paved the way for Dr. William Masters 
and other medical rescarch workers who 
have made scientific studies, replete with 
statistics, of how effective are such birth- 
control methods as the pill, the vagi 
diaphragm, the various contraceptive jel- 
lies and the condom. Their final word 
on this subject is available to every phy 
sician—and, indeed, to anybody else who 
cares to look it ир. 

Going back again to my university 
days, 1 remember that one of the first 
things all of us beginning law students 
learned from the upperclassmen was 
that if we went to a certain volume of 
the state supreme court reports and 
tumed to a certain page, we could read 
a titillating account of а subject almost 
too racy to mention. I got out the vol- 
ume and found that I did not even have 
to turn to the proper page; the book

the reward of the quick-witted miller 


Ribald Classic 


A YOUTHFUL miller near Paris was en- 
amored of a lovely young wench named 
Fabienne who lived in his neighbor- 
hood. To speak the truth, he was 
more loved by her than she by him, 
for he only pretended an attachment to 
her to obtain what favors he could. For 
her part, Fabienne was more than will- 
ing to be deceived. She loved the miller 
to such an extent that she neglected the 
usual coyness of her sex and sought him 
out at his chamber to take her pleasure. 

Her widowed mother, however, who 
was herself still young and every bit as 
fair as her offspring, knew all too well 
toward what scas runs the hot blood of 
youth. Perceiving her daughter's over- 
riding alfection for the miller, she for- 
bade Fabienne ever to sce or speak to 
him, under pain of being sent to a 
convent. 

But Fabienne, having once become ac- 
customed to a diet of the fr of love, 
craved its sweetness more than she feared 
her mother or the cloister. One day, 
having found the miller unoccupied in 
his chamber at the rear of his establish- 
ment, she began (as was her wont) to 
tease him with glances, words and 
caresses certain to arouse love in the 
veins of any youth. Rising to the occ 
sion, the miller lost no time in removing 
the wench's loose-fitting bodice and shift, 
and soon found himself entertaining her 
with precisely that diversion she had 
sought. 

It happened, however, that a servant 
had seen her steal into the mill, and ran 
to tell the mother, That worthy woman, 
without even stopping to secure her 
robe, hastened to the mill to put an end 
to the threshing of her daughter. As she 
pproached, Fabienne was not too 
caught up in her sport to fail to recog- 
nize her mother's steps. Quickly she said 
10 the miller: "My love for you will 
surely cost me much, lor now comes my 
mother, who will be convinced of that 
which she most feared." 

The wily miller, preserving both his 
presence of mind and his ardor, ran to 
the door to meet the mother. As she 
burst into the room, he cast his arms 
about her, embraced her with all his 
passion, threw her down on a small bed, 
pulled her shift up round her neck and 
began to expend on her all the vigor her 
daughter had excited in him. The 
wom while at first confounded and 
desiring to shout out, soon was per- 
suaded to other desires. In fact, the 
millers infect igerness shortly

For Fabienne a quick departure was in 
order; her mother stood at the doorsill. 


convinced her to take up the game in 
full earnest herself. By the time the two 
had concluded their tumble, her re- 
awakened spirit caused her to insist the 
miller have at it again. Between the 
scuffle and the dalliance, she completely 
forgot what had brought her to his 
chamber; and while she was covered, 
Fabienne had straightened her garments 
and escaped. 

Thereafter, neither mother nor daugh 
ter questioned the other's activities. For 
her part, Fabienne noticed an immediate 
improvement in her mother's disposition; 
and the mother, now herself tasting the 
pleasures by which her daughter had 
been tempted, could по longer think of 
chastising her for having kled. The 
miller continued to receive unexpected 
visits, but now he served two ardent 
damsels instead of one—a delightful 
game, indeed, since, while a knock on his 
chamber door would certainly signal him 
to field, he never knew beforehand 
whether he would be called to winnow 
among the tender shoots or among the 
full, ripe stalks.

1 shudder to think of how many 


people, in those dark days before 1948, 
must have suffered the tortures of the 
damned because they enjoyed oral sex 
play of one kind or another and thought 
they therefore belonged to some strange, 
“unnatural” and perverted minority, so 
despised by the vast majority of “normal” 
Americans that any discovery of their 
eful habit would doom them to 
Ling ostracism, if not indeed to 
jail. 1t took those tactful and persuasive

more than 60 percent of American men 
and a substantial number of American 
women have engaged in fellatio, and 
most equal numbers in the kindred prac

"best people," the proportion is even 
higher. The more education one has, the 
morc common is this type of sex play.) 
The law has not caught up with the 
Institute findings: You can still go to 
prison in Missouri for doing what that 
man in the lawbook did, and in all but 
one other state. as well. (Illinois is the 
exception; in 1961 it adopted the most 
enlightened code of sexual laws in our

In the year 1943, less than a quarter cen- 
tury ago, the supreme court of onc of 
our states ruled that a lower court was 
absolutely right in committing a man 10 
ne asylum. The proof that the 
man was insane—get this!—was that he 
sted on having sexual relations with 
ife as often three or even four 
times a week. There was nothing else in 
the world wrong with him; he was ad- 
mittedly "bright" "competent" and 
good worker." But the court ruled that 
any man with а sexual appetite of such 
magnitude had to be considered a psy- 
chopath and put out of harm's way. 

We know now, from the figures 
Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, 
that there аге young men who enjoy coi 
tus as often as 25 times a week, and that, 
indeed, some men are still capable of 7 
times a week even after they have 
ached the age of 70. Unless some 
nachronistic reform wave suppresses the 
dings of the Institute for Sex Re-

age, surely по man will ever again be

that men аге beasts. Let her then take

a revealing close-up of the legendary love goddesses and matinee idols of the silent screen's flamboyant final decade 


FOR THE BETTER PART of the decade that began in 1920, the love goddesses of the silent screen were, of necessity, forced to express 
their more passionate emotions with brooding, heavy-lidded stares, heaving bosoms and anguished clutchings of the throat—their own 
nd others’. It may seem hard to believe now, but our parents and grandparents responded with avidity to the dialogless eroticism of 
the screen. As Gloria Swanson put it, playing the somewhat autobiographical role of a once-great silent star in Sunset Boulevard, “We 
didn't ne ad faces!" To a considerable degree, she was right. Her own bizarrely gorgeous Lice, suggesting willfuli: 
and arrogant challenge to the males who crossed her fateful path, has remained one of the great monuments of the Twenties, as mem- 
orably suggestive, in its way, as the more perfectly featured visage of Greta Garbo. 

But it takes more than a face to make a sex symbol, and bodily charms were possessed in abundance by those glamor queens of the

sarily evil in her primal nature. Playing this kind of 
bad-but-good lady was a specialty of the early Gloria 
Swanson, who must be given credit for popularizing 
the socially acceptable vamp. Which is to say, she could 
make love illicitly and still manage to retain a place 
in respectable society. She expressed (albeit a bit hokily 
at times) the new, modern, sexually independent wom 
an of the post-World War One cra. Due partly to the 
fact that she came along at a historically propitious 
moment, when the public was ready to regard sex as 
one of the less baneful luxuries, and also because of her 
own ambitious, aggressive, managerial nature, she 


reached the pinnacle of movie stardom. If a new type 
known as the flapper soon appeared in her wake, if her 
appeal was supplanted in public adulation by the 
mysterious sensuality of Greta Garbo, she nevertheless

the prominent sex stars of the Twenties. 

Swanson was born the daughter of an Army captain, 
Joseph Svennson, in Chicago on March 27, 1899, only a 
few years after the birth of the movies. She had an 
education of sorts, near the Army posts to which her 
father was assigned, and thought she might like to be 
an opera singer or an illustrator. But these ambitions 
faded away when one day she visited the Еѕапау 
studios in Chicago. She at once decided she wanted 10 
be a movie star, like the popular Beverly Bayne, 
Essanay’s hottest. property at the time. At Essanay she 
met and entranced one of the studio kingpins, Wallace 
Beery, who was then starring in a comedy series in 
which he played, of all things, a Swedish cleaning wom- 
an—in drag. Gloria married Beery in 1916, then di 
vorced him two years later when her career began to 
Far transcend her husband's. He was the first of five 
husbands, all eventually discarded.

GARBO: As a Russian spy їп "The Mysterious Lady" 
(abore), Greta Garbo plots to betray both her admiring boss 
(played by an actor with the improbable name of Gustav von 
Seufiertit) and her country—all for the love of a handsome 
foreigner. With her first major role, as the cause of Jokn Gil- 
bert's downfall in “Flesh and the Devil” (above right), Garbo 
became а star—and the object of Gilbert's off-screen affection. 


THE GREAT PROFILE: By the time he hit his cinematic stride in the 
mid-'20s (and his mid-40s), John Barrymore was past his prime, but his ama- 
tory appeal was still potent enough to earn him a reputation as the great lover 
of his day—thanks to steamy scenes such as the one in “The Tempest” (below 
left) which found him in a bare-topped embrace with a rapt Camilla Horn. 
THE QUEEN OF SHEBA: Belly Blythe scandalized censors, and mesmerized 
moviegoers, with her abundant attributes (below) in “The Queen of Sheba.” 


THE “IT” GIRL: Notwithstanding the slinky- 
affected by Clara Bow in a scene from "My Lady of Whim 
(at left), and her semideshabille in many of her publicity stills 
(as in the one below), she personified perfectly the naughty-bul- 
пісе flapper girl next door: life of the petting party, guzzler of 
bathtub gin and nonstop maker of whoopee, but goodhearted and 
basically wholesome withal—exuding an ambivalent allure which 
Hollywood tastemaker Elinor Glyn eloquently defined as “It.”

startling enough to be pictured on the front pages of news- 
papers. But De Mille was а good deal more than a mo-

his high-society epics, the more he built the foundations 
of her remarkable career. In For Better, For Worse, she 
was swathed in chinchilla and wore a coiffure never before 
seen, 

Next, in Male and Female, De Mille disrobed her totally, 
but always with a robe or towel strategically deployed be-

she was viewed in boudoir, bed and bath, and when sl

But it wasn't long before Gloria became too big a star 
for De Mille's then-modest pocketbook, and left his unit to 
become the queen of Paramount Studios, the biggest in 
Hollywood at the time. By now, 1923, she was the idol of 
millions of moviegoers and was rewarded by her studio 
to the tune of $20,000 per week. For the next three 
years it was estimated that her earnings came to a million 
a year—without today's astronomical tax structure. 

While still working for De Mille, she had married 
again, this time Herbert K. Somborn, president of

was given to quoting Lord Byron and 
Guy de Maur to say т 
don't believe in using coarse words." She 
begged her girls to try to appreciate the 
therapeutic value of soothing music, She 
liked the violin, but it was the guitar 
that she called "the voice of love and 
passion.” Above all, she hoped that her 
girls would treat their clients with respect 
and allection. “I love men," Minna once 
told a friend. “I esteem them highly.” 

According to Charles Washburn, it w: 
Minna who delivered the standard good- 
conduct lecture to new female ls. 

“Be polite, patient and forget whi 
you are here for," Minna would esplai 
“Gentlemen are only gentlemen. when 
properly introduced. We shall sec that 
cach girl is properly presented to each 
guest. No lining up for selection as in

Everleigh Club has no time for the rough 
element, the clerk ou a holiday or a man 
without a checkbook.

they still retained most of their jewelry. 
They rarely had visitors. They һай 
purchased a radio, but except for that, 
they usually avoided outside companion-

ers. “They own a home in New York, 
free and dear.” Washburn reported

Eight years Ener, there was a sugges- 
tion that they might even then still be 


alive. In a ТӘН issue of Town and

stated that Minna and Aida “knew that 
the people who were throwing stones at 
them might well have been stoned for

Irishman in The Luck of Ginger Coffey and the mock-mad scientist in Duerrenmstt’s play The Physicists. The publishers, who up- 

themselves further by billing Robert Shaw as actor and writer in that order, despite The Flag's rave reviews in the British 
press ("Quite beyond the capacity of other contemporary novelists" Scotsman), provide a fourth photo of him

when it destroys personalities. Could 
Pope John XXIII have had a longer 
time with us, one cannot help but feel 
he would have eliminated the docirine

For John was the personification of love, 


affection and warmth. He w the first 
Pope to refuse to eat alone, and when

1 think that Paul Tillich has put his

moral principle in his book Morality 
aud Beyond. His closing sentence sum- 
marizes it: "And this is the meaning of 
ethics: the expression of the ways in 
which love embodies itself. and life is 
maintained and saved." I shan't get into 
the semantics of the word love, but I 
think it is clear enough. Love is a per- 
sonal thing. that allows for individual 
consideration of every case. If. John and 
Mary. unmarried. go to bed. Church law 
is unyielding and definite. It says this 
action is wrong: it is a sin. The principle 
of love would inquire into their motives, 
their sense of responsibility, their needs. 
In other words, love would not make a 
categorical judgment.

SPANKING CONTROVERSY 

In the June Playboy Forum there was 
a lever from an "intelligent. college 
adunc” who is Irequend 
"bouom bared.” by her husba 
maintained, contrary 10 Editor Hefner's 
opinion. that wife spanking need not be 
а sadomasochistic relationship: It can be. 
as in her case, an overt expression of 
male dominance, highly desired by both 
partners. 

Actually, there is some merit to both 
sides of the argument, As First Secretary 
of the Interna ation of Non 
stic Wife Beaters, LF.N.SW.B., I am 
п a position to elaborate on the subject 
with considerable authority. As any non- 


wife beater will tell you, non- 
wile is for the sole 
purpose of ascrting male dominance. At 


one time а good old-fashioned spanking 
applied to the bared bottom of one's wife 

sufficient for this purpose. However, 
such is no longer true—especially in the 
case of “intelligent college graduates." 
Today's intelligent female has an excep- 
tionally tough bottom. This is а result of 
пу years of sitting in classrooms on 
those hard wooden seats. In contrast, the 
hand of today's intelligent male is rather 


from lack of use: Tt has usually 
done litte more than sharpen pencils 
from time to time. One might say that 


the hand of today's intelligent male is 
not quite on th level as his wife's 
bottom. This rather unfortunate state of 
affairs makes wife spanking virtually use 
les. Hence, we of the International 
tion of Nom-Sadistic Wife Beaters 
recommend the frequent use of a cato

My husband and 1 have been married 
for eight years. We are very happy now, 
but dus has not always been true. De 
spite the tremendous. physical attraction 
between us, we were very inconsiderate 
ol each other in the early days. Both of 
us had been spoiled by overindulgent 
parents. 

We were fortunate to have some dear 
friends who had gone through а similar 
period. When they heard us snapping at 
cach other—alter а wip back to Mother

without my —husband—they | outlined 
their formula: Simply stated, we were 
acting like children, so we should be 
ueated like children. The guilty party 
must submit to a child's punishment 

Our friends told us that for the first 
month after they set up this arrange- 


ment, not a week went by without both 
tur 


g up an unprotected. bottom for 
ament. Then the mesage came 
aeos. Within six months it was almost 
unnecessary. Now a reminder is required 
only about once a ye: 

We wied this plan and found it to 
work exactly as they said. Tt wasn’t easy 
and my husband wasn't exactly gentle, 
but I guess 1 wasn't. either 


It is more 
than three years now since I kist found 
myself across his lap gritting my teeth, 
nd it has been nearly five years since I 
have had to spank him. 

We do not feel there ny sexual

MOB RULE 

1 find it hard to understand how Hef- 
ner can write with such perception on 
the subject of censorship and then turn 
around and sanction mob rule, that is, 
democracy. 

Since its inception їп Athen 
turies ago, democracy never has been 
nd never will be found in a free society, 
for the simple reason that democracy is 
incompatible with freedom. As long as 
some men rule others, freedom will not 
exist. A man is not free if he is forced, at 
the point of a gun, to submit to the 
wishes of the others in his community. A 
man is not free to own property if he is 
wed with a neve lien on 
пу property he might owr 
Hefner has devoted much of his Play- 
boy Philosophy vo the subject of cen- 
sorship He said that it is wrong 
Tor the state or the Church to dictate in- 
dividual literary and sexual mores. I 
commend him. But if mob rule is just in 
poliucal areas, why is it not also just in 
ation to literary and sexual mores? 

John P: 
Chloride, Arizoi 

Атепсап democracy can never be nc 
curately called “mob yule"—even by its 
severest crilic—because this nation is 
based on more than the ample will of 
Ihe majority: at has a Constitution that 
guarantees the rights of the minority, too. 

We dont see how you can compare 
freedom from sexual persecution with 
freedom [rom laxes—the former is an im- 
proper invasion. of prente behavwr, 
while in the latter instance, modern gov- 
ernmenis the world over ruse a portion.

The citizen's right to own property is 
referred to in the U. S. Constitution, but 
the government—Federal, state and local 
—relams ultimate control over all prop-

man ıs not free if he is forced, at the 
pont of a gun, 10 submit to the wishes of

ahon could nol exist without laws—and 
the laws must be enforced if they are to 
have any meaning, sometimes even at the 
point of a gun, The Constitution and the 
laws of the United States protect the in- 
dividual citizen from any unlawful acts 
by the others in his community; they also 
protect the others in the community from 
any unlawful acts by the individual

they had been able to take sensible notes 
on as the pages were more or less 
whisked in front of their eyes, in haphaz-

ved the report and wrote а story 
about what a strange experience it was. 
‘The most important. part of the week, 
far as my relations with Dr. Kinsey 
were concerned, took place the very first 
morning, We had an introductory meet 
ing with members of the Institute stall. 
which Dr. Kinsey opened by passing out 
copies of contracts for us t0 sign. Among 
other things, we had t0 agree to observe 
his release date—no jumping of the gun 
before the hook was out. We also had to 
agree to submit our manuscripts to the 
Institute and correct. any errors 
that the май detected in our copy. That 
is, the contract. was supposed 10 bind us 
to accepting the Institutes corrections: 
actually, owing to some kind of mix-up 
in composition or typing, it read that we 
agreed “to accept. any errors requested 
by the Institute.” 1 was the first of the 
visitors to notice this, and right then and 
there D made а fatal mistake. The meet-

might freshen the air. So I spoke up

As J thus learned ard way, Dr. 


Kinsey was а stern, grim and totally hu 
morleys man. He believed that life. was 


real and lile was carnest, and that no 
body was put on this carth to waste time 
kidding around. I had picked one of the 
surest ways t0 antagonize him; the surest 


way of all would have been to tell him a 
dirty joke, as strangers often did to their 
sorrow. The closest Dr. Kinsey himself 
ever came to a joke about sex was when 
he had a group of сш ors at the 
Institute, particularly if they were wom- 
schoolteachers or civic leaders. H he

on such a day, he would promise to open

am sure, was palatable 10 the good doc- 
tor only because of the needle

Dr. Kinsey was a puritan by birth and 
by training. He grew up in a strait-laced 
New England family where it was con- 
sidered a sin even to hitch up the horses 
on Sunday; he became one of the na- 
tion's first Eagle Scouts and a sincere 
and exemplary young man who studied 
hard, worked hard and never smoked or 
drank. In later life he tried to ke up 
smoking. in a vain effort to seem like 
one of the fellows, but he could а 
learn to enjoy it 
doned the attempt. He did succeed 
learning 10 force down an occasional 
drink, partly for reasons of good fellow- 
ship and partly because the doctors said 

ittle alcohol would be good for his 
ing heart, but he was naive about drink- 
ing to the end. The ways he passed 
round at cocktail parties always con- 
ined enough glasses of syrupy liqueurs 
t0 gag his more sophisticated guests. 

What Dr. Kinsey really liked, in the 
way of social life, was his musicales; h 
had one of the first hi-fi sets and а la

Dr. Kinsey also enjoyed gardening,

that his yard contained over 200 
different species of iris. He spent many a 
late afternoon in summer puttering 
around the plants, usually barefoot and 
wearing nothing but an old pair of 
swimming trunks. After he became fa

men and 8000 women, a truly monu- 
mental statistical sample. (The Niels 
report on the popularity of television 
programs, accepted as gospel, is by con 
trast based on а mere 1100 homes.) 

Dr. Kinsey, with his puritanical back- 
ground and his duty-oriented character. 
was as moral about sexual matiers as a 
man can possibly be 
entered upon his mai 
and never even com 
ports term “extramarital outlets" His 
wtitude toward sex was, if anything, 
prudish—a fact which helped him greatly 
in getting support for the Institute. Tt 
took considerable courage in those days 
for a university to harbor such an insti- 
tution on its campus or for a foundation 
to lend it financial support; and the 
slightest suspicion of any kind of leering

would have doomed his project from 
the beginning. Ou the other hand, his 
stern and unrelenting moralism might 
have been an impossible handicap in his

pects of his genius that this did not turn 
ош to be the case. He managed to listen 
without batting an eye t0 the most lurid 
biographies of pimps and prostitutes, of 
boys who had sold themselves to ho- 
mosexuals, of men who were in prison 
for sadistic rape. And as he began to 
realize the vast range of human sexual 
behavior, he achieved what is probably 
the finest accomplishment of а civilized 
man—the ability 10 sympathize with con-

anybody ele should live his life. 
On all other matters, Dr. Kinsey re- 
mained uncompromising. He deplored 
the fact that his otherwise impeccable 
aide Dr. Gebhard liked to lie abed on 
Sunday mornings after his hard week of 
reporting to duty at cight a.m. Monday 
through Saturday. And he once severely 
castigated Dr. Gebhard for eating too 
many of the peanuts that they had 
bought with Institute money for a quick 
lundi between interviews. “Gebhard,” 
he complained, “you've caten almost 
twenty cents’ worth! (In almost the 
next breath, however, he offered to lend 
Dr. Gebhard a thousand dollars to tide 
him over a financial crisis.) His strange 
combination of tolerance on sex and 
flexibility on all other topics was best 
illustrated by his attitude toward prosti- 
tutes: He never condemned them for 
leading a “life of sin"—but he remained 
horrified to the end by the late-rising and 
indolent aspects of their career, which he 
considered utterly demoralizing. 
Many of Dr. Kinsey's findings dis 
wessed him; he was almost moved to 
tars, for example, when he first heard 
about the husband who was committed 
to a mental hospital because of his 
thrice-a-week sexual appetite. He was 
also shaken badly by many of his inter- 
views with prisoners—especially men 
who were serving time for the "crime" of 
fornication w idult women who had 
been their willing partners, and men 
convicted of homosexual acts with adult 
and willing p: Nowhere so much 
as in the field of sex, he decided, is man

Ч man. Like most crusaders, hc 
ily became too self-righteous for 
his own good. He could never under 
stand why the world did not immediat 
ly rewrite its sex laws in the light of his 
findings. The criticisms of the psycho- 
alysts and sociologists struck him as so 
cwping as to constitute a form of per- 
sonal persecution, His hypersensitivity 
nd his heart trouble made him increa: 
ingly cranky: and he died, in 1956, an

"The work of the Institute goes on. 

Recently, for example, a chic, b 
fully coifiured wearer of an exper 
dress walked into the reception room, 
gave the name of Virgini: and was 
immediately ushered to the offe of Dr. 
Gebhard, who has been the Institute di- 
rector since Dr, Kinsey's death. There, 
for most of that day and part of the 
next, Vi ankly to Dr. Geb- 
hard and his staff. What made the occa- 
sion noteworthy and, indeed, almost 
unique in the history of scientific investi- 
gation, is that Virginia was а man: а 
transvestite, the editor of one of the eso- 
teric litle magazines published in this 
ion by and for transvestit 

Transvestitism is one of the many top- 
ics about which the Institute for Sex Re- 


ch knows more than anyone else has 
ever known before in history, or knows 
even today. Until the Institute began its 
work, scientific knowledge of this strany 
phenomenon was limited to a few p 
pers published by psychiatrisis who had 
happened to treat transvestites and who, 
of course, wrote about them strictly in 
analytical and therapeutic terms. The 
Institute stall ran into a number of 
ansvestites in the course of its intei 
views of the male population; following 
up these leads, it has since attended 
and ken moving pictures at transves- 
tite conventions, and has learned a. great 
deal about transvestite leaders like Vi 
ginia, most of whom have never been 
near a psychiatrists office. Contrary to 
popular belief—or at least to what I al- 
ways assumed—it turns out that the true 
transvestite is not а homosexual; Virgin- 
a is happily married, and so are m 
others. But the Institute has also 
recorded the сазе histories of а number 
of other men who like to dress in wom- 
en's clothes and who are completely ho 
mosexual; many of these men, who are 
properly termed transsexualists, would 
go to Denmark if they could and have 
the Christine Jorgensen type of opera- 
tion to remove all traces of their mascu- 
linity. Included in the Institute's files is 
the case of one transsexualist who for a 
time worked happily as a big-city "police- 
woman, inviting pases from male 
mashers оп the local transit. system. The 
police deparunent never caught on that 
its good-looking decoy was in reality a 
man, but the Institute knows the story 
in [ull detail. 

The Institute gets quite a number of 
exotic visitors. A folklore expert who has 
been collecting all the ribald songs of 
the Ozarks brings in a four-volume type- 
written collection, complete with words 
and music. A noted student of Irish folk- 
lore arrives to discuss the difference be- 
tween the bawdy ballads of Ireland. and 
the United States, and with a 
promise to send the Institute some infor- 
mation he has in his files about the ob- 
scene carvings that irreverent workmen 
created near the top of medieval church 
es, far above the vision of their priests. A 
police official drops in with а huge carton 
of stag films and French postcards seized 
in а raid on a Midwesiern wholesaler of 
pornography ion to the 
Institute's archives of lorbidden erotica, 
of which more lat 

The Institute also gets a steady stream 
of unusual mail: catalogs of the new 
high-heel and corset fetish booklets sold 
openly in some cities and under the 
counter in others; catalogs of the 
strange devices manufactured in the Ori- 
ent for the supposed enhancement of 
sexual pleasure; a request from a Malay 
sian manufacturer for information that 
would help him improve the quality of 
his condoms; a letter from the Daughters

rows of grim steel filing cabinets; there is 
nothing in view to indicate the nature 
of the Institutes work except a few pho- 
tographs in one hallway of some erotic 
Incun pouery that Dr. Kinsey and Dr. 
Gebhard onte collected on а trip to 
South America, and the portraits ol 
some distinguished scholars such as Jul 
ian Huxley and Dr. John Rock, the 
Catholic physician who helped invent 
the contraceptive pill, who have visited 
the Insutute from time to time. 

‘The staff still works, as it did under 
Dr. Kinsey, from eight A.M. to five р.м 
Mondays through Fridays, and on Satu 
days from eight лм. until noon. Most of 
the work is similar to what goes on in 
other research centers of all kinds: the 
long and laborious rendering of case hi 
tories into statistics that can be put on 
computer tape, the compilation of com- 
plicated statistical tables, painstaking 
study of the tables for significant trends. 
As everywhere clse, the financial records 
have to be kept and the correspondence 
answered. In the old days, Dr. Kinsey had. 
his own private method for filing books: 
now а woman librarian and an assistant, 
alio à woman, are hard at work at the 
tedious job of recataloging the 20,000

cand, did not even consider this aspect of 
sexual lore at the beginning. And he was 
contemptuous of most. previous scholarly 
books on sex: he believed ihat mai 
kind's only really worthwhile knowle 
about sex lay in the interviews he was 
thering: so he did not attempt to start 
any kind of library at all. Dr. Gebhard 
recalls that when he joined the Kinsey 
stall in 1946, just (wo years before publi 
cation of the report on men, the Insti- 
tute owned fewer than a hundred books. 

When the Institute became famous, 
however. scientists. from all over thc 
жопа began sending it sexual memora 
bilia—drawings from the walls of the 
cave dwellers, photographs of the art of 
ancient Pompeii, carvings from the Ter- 
tility shrines of Japau—and Dr. Kinsey 
decided that the Insitute was duty 
nd to become а repository for every- 
ng that related in any way lo sex, 
from scientific books to hard-core pornog- 
raphy. The Institute has now invested 
about а quarter of a million dollars in 
books and miscellaneous erotica, has re-

unquestionably the most complete col-

NEW TREND 
IN PIN-UPS 


college girls pin down the male 
look they like: tall and trim 
(the Dickies look) 


PLAYBOY'S PLAYMATE may not be the only 
well-pinned item in this issue. If campus 
coeds continue a new fad. the man in the 
Dickies Slacks (sce inside) may join the 
fold and decorate dorms at Vassar, Smith, 
Stanford, and other girl-populated places 
of learning. 

It's a trend that proves today's young 
woman knows what she likes, and isn’t 
afraid to pin it down. For one thing, she 
likes the tall and trim look Dickies Slacks 
give men of every height and heft. How 
can Dickies guarantee a handsome set of 
pins? It’s all in the lean, clean, downright 
mean kind of super-slim styling that 
Texas made famous and Dickies of Fort 
Worth made popular all over the country. 
The result is simple: Dickies make men 
look taller—and women look longer. (For 
the names of some of the women, scc 
below.)

havior than was ever known before. 
They can be correaed in the future, and 
they probably will be if the Institute 
keeps functioning. Director Gebhard is 
well aware that the Institute has made 
some mistakes: Although the report on 
mei out of print, he has refused 
y reprints or paperback edi- 
tions, because he knows that some of the 
istics do not stand up. He also plans 
to revise the st 1 Institute interview 
so that in the future it will reveal not 
only how people behave sexually but 
also how they feel about it. 

‘The Institute already has a good deal 
more research material in its files than it 
has had the time to analyze, and there 
are many more things still to be done. 
The report on women, for example, 
showed that about a third of women are 
as keenly interested in sex and as readily 
responsive as most men, but that the 
other two thirds can tak 
alone. This diflerence between the aver- 
age man and two thirds of all women is 
the chief cause of sexual maladjustments 
and misunderstandings. The question is, 
what causes the diflerence? Is it an in- 
born trait, or does it result from the 
different. ways that boys and girls are 
brought up in ош society? Nobody 
knows—and somebody should be trying 
to find out. 

As all the reports of the Institute have 
shown, the pattern of sexual behavior 
seems to be set early in life: The boy 
who matures early and desperately han- 
kers for girls by the time he is 15 is likely 
ıo remain eager and sexually active all 
his life, with only the normal allowances 
for the effect of aging upon sexual appe- 
tite; and the boy who matures late and 
has no pressing sexual drives at 18 is 

y to hà low sexual interest 
throughout his adulthood. Yet the Insti- 
tute has found some exceptions. One 
man whose normal sexual rhythm seemed 
to involve coitus with his wife once a 
week went to France for many months 
on business, took up with a French 
girlfriend and sexual relations 
every night of ihe week; then returned. 
home and went back to his once-a- 

tern; then was again sent to 
id resumed his oncesvday pat- 
tern. Some of the women who gave in 
ews b n ely modest sex 
life in their early adulthoods, never ac- 
tually desiring id responding only 
occasionally in their relations with their 
husbands; then suddenly, in their 50s ог 
105 or even 50s, developed intensely 
strong appetites and responses. If the In 
stitute could discover what caused. these 
changes, it might find some clues to 
greater sexual happiness for all. 

Thus, my own chicf complaint against 
the Institute is that it has not yet cx- 


is now 


had 


plored many of these arcas—and also 
not done enough new inte 
viewing in recent years to establish 
whether, as many people suspect, sexua! 
conduct has been changing among the 
youngest generations. But the Institute. 
has the best of all excuses: money. After 
the 1953 report on women concluded 
the first big pioneering phase of the 
research, the Rockefeller Foundation 
ended its financial support. For the next 
few years, the Ins 
own operating expen: 
ties on the two big reports; though these 
amounted to und $500,000. the 
began to dwindle rapidly. This was one 
of the things that exasperated Dr. Kin- 
sey in his final years; he fele that the 
American public, as represented by the 
Government and philanthropic founda- 
tions, had abandoned the Institute just 
when it had done its spadework, had 
proved its value and was ready to launch 

n accelerated second stage of investiga 
tion. At last, in 1957, unfortunately too 
late for Dr. Kinsey to know, the Nation- 
al Instinne for Mental Health began 
giving the Institute an annual grant 
which has continued ever since, current. 
ly at the rate of $123,000 a year. This 
has enabled the Institute to continue 
publishing reports such as the recent one 
оп sex criminals. But none of the Feder- 
al money сап be used for the library or 
the locked collection, which would have 
had to be abandoned years ago had it 
not been for the amazing financial suc 
cess of the first two reports. 

All in all, the Institute has nowhere 
near the wealth and resources that most 
people assume; for more than a decade 
now it has been shorthanded and short 
of money, especially for its library and 
for new interviews. Perhaps it always 
will be. Though it deals with a subject 
that affects all Americans, not just those 
afllicted with a discase, and though con- 
tributions to it are tax deductible?—as, 
indeed, are gifts of erotic collections—it 
is unlikely that anybody will ever set up 
an organization to solicit donations door 
to door for anything with a name like 
Institute for Sex Research. Dr. Kinsey 
did a lot to make sex a respectable topic 
of research and of conversition—but not. 
quite enough, at least thus far, for his 
Institute's own. good.

When he moved to slide away carefully 
off the edge of the bed, she made a soft, 
mewing, discontented noise and pulled 
the cover around her shoulders with a 
lithe, instantaneous twist of her body 
that left her curled facing him. her 
breathing once more serene. He looked 
at her, shaking his head fondly, and 
went to shower and wake up, making a 
rumbling, purring sound instead of sing

back out, drying his shoulders, and stood 
looking at her again. She had uncurled

the truth of it was he couldn't think of

He remembered looking at her and

that he and legs were too short

going to be coumeskinned and dough-

them had left her. He remembered the

Her suburban gabble and chatter was an

Then followed the sadness of end of 
summer, abrupt nostalgia of the uncom- 
mitted, withering dry leaves and scatter-

packed up our kids, knowing that the

have to sacrifice something, make a little

The voice went on, but Rudy no long-

actly what it was saying, It was saying. in 
the silkiest, most righteous cuphemisms,

If he wants a smoke, we light it for him. 
If he wants our girl, we do everything 
but shove it in for him." 

Pleading hunger, Rudy was able to 
leave Burnham in mid-discussion, but he 
did not go directly to the commissary. 
First, he stopped off at Stage 14. The red 
light was on, forbidding entrance tempo-

inside. 

Tommy Rondo was saying 10 his di-

again.” 

It looked fine to me, Tomm: 

“Again, all right?" 

“Again, everybody, last chorus, this is 
a take . - 

The buzzer rasped, the red light went 
on, and from a loudspeaker came the 
prerecorded singing voice of. Tommy 
Rondo. Вашей in light, the real Tommy 
Rondo ground his hips like a stripper

Rudy noticed the girl again. She sat

the din around her, spectacles ou her 
nose, reading a The question 
agged him: where had he seen her

“Sometime I must introduce you to the

"You know him?" 

We're both on the same picture . 

Information was swapped, including 
names. When Rudy learned hers, he 

pped his fingers. “Mavis McClure. Of 
course. No wonder you looked so famil- 
iar. You're the model—the one on all the 
billboards.” 

"Not quite all.”

“Mr. Rondo doesn’t have the r

And so they lunched: aud, lier,

tact sprang a loveship of such bright, 
such cleansing ray, that both partners 
were tansformed into new creatures 
carrying only patchy resemblances to 
what they had been before. The lissome 
coolth that had been Mavis’ distin

Rudy turned to M We have a

“Rudy darling, please don't be like 
this, Tommy just dropped in. That's all. 
lt doesn't mean anything. Please sit 
down. And have a drink. Then we'll 
go. ? 

"Very well. But first you tell him to 
leave," 

She lost patience and flared. "You're 
being ridiculous, Rudy! You're being 
boorish and embarrassing and ridiculous 
and I won't tell Tommy to leave.” 

Аз you wish.” He walked to the door. 

Rudy. Come back." 

"Leddim go, whaddaya need him for? 
He's not in my league. You hear that, 
limey? You're not in my league.” 

Rudy turned and walked back into 
the room. He faced Tommy Rondo. He 
was [righteningly calm. He spoke slowly. 
“You're right. I'm not in your league. 
e different, you and I. May I tell 
you something? When I was in the army, 
it was the English army, you sce, I had a 
rather marvelous sergeant major. He was 
Irish. And whenever he ran across a re- 
cuit who was absolutely hopeless, a 
bumbling, half-human, incompetent idiot, 
he went up to that poor sod, and he 
looked him straight in the eye—like this 
аһа he said . . ." (Rudy slipped into 
a rich brogue) ". . . "You were neither 
bahrn nor creaythed. Someone had a 
bash against a wall, and the sun hatched 
you out," 
As Rudy walked to the door again, he 
snapped crisply to Mavis: “The car 
keys.” She dug them out of her purse 
and gave them ıo him 

“Rudy, please listen 

“You know where to find me, when 
the—concert—is over." He decided not to 


slam the door 

Outside, in the sweet, sceing his own 
yellow Lark next to the Rolls-Royce in 
the slamed platoon of headin parking 
along the curb, the difference in status 
hit him cruelly. And he was not the only 
one. “Hey, limey!" As he was getting 
imo his car, he heard the yell and he 
turned 10 see Tommy Rondo leaning 
out of Mavis’ window. “That your car, 
that little yella baby? Well, take a look 
at mine, take а good look. That baby be- 
longs to a star. Not a loser like you. Re 
member what T said, limey—you 
in my league. Not in my league! 

It took every last atom of Rudy's will 
power to back out and drive off without 
ramming one of the arrogant lavender 
fenders into. accordion pleats. 

He had no sooner entered his apart- 
ment than his phone emitted a single 
clear ping, like a fine crystal goblet 
being struck by a butter knife. It had 


e not 


that odd habit of thus clearing its throat 
a couple of seconds before getting down 
to some scrious ringing. Sure cnough, 
after a short silence, it began to ring 
His first impulse, galvanic, was to answer 
it; then he checked himself. No һе 
would not speak to her. Let her come to 
him; he would not allow her to smooth 
things over on the phone while Rondo 
sat sniggering beside her, stroking her 
neck or committing God knew what oth 
cr abominations. The telephone rang 
and rang. He thought it would explode; 
he felt that the jabbing peals of ringing 
would pile up and join into a single un- 
interrupted crescendo of a ring that 
would grow and grow as the trembling 
telephone swelled to a shapeless black 
blob and finally burst. 

When he could stand it no more, 
when he was ready to опе out 
of the wall, it stopped ringing. He wait- 
cd a moment, then called his answering 
service. "Fm taking no more calls ro- 
night. None whatever." Mechanically, he 
phoned the Gaicty Delicatessen for some 
food, and when it came, he ate it with- 
Out tasting it, 

At length, he went to bed. He could 
not sleep. He wept in frustration and 
ager. Hours later, he drifted into a 
kind of deadness. But the old hate, not 
dead, but dormant, was awak- 


encd, and it was all the more potent for 
its short fallow period. It flourished like 
ап acr Rudy's mind, killing all 


other thoughts, even in his dreams. The 
RollsRoycc had become a fevered, fes 
tering impostume of all that he despised 
nd resented: a sentient creature whose 
grillwork gloated and leered; a beast, set 
on destroying him. 

He awoke with a cry, slimed with 
sweat, unrested, his eyes feeling like salt- 
ed nuts, his head throbbing, his stomach 
on fire looked at the dock; it was 
3:30 in the morning. With a groan, he 
stumbled into the kitchen and poured 
himself a glass of milk. Drinking it, he 
wandered aimlessly toward his desk. 
ad Horne were 
writing lay scattered there. They seemed 
vapid 10 him now, these pages toward 
which he had felt so enthusiastic just a 
few hours before. In the asht 
ple of crushed-out. cigarettes were tinted 
with Mavis coral lipstick, making him 
think not only of her lips, but of her 
coraltinted fingers and toes as well, then 
of her whole body, and the taste and 
aroma of her flesh. 

He sat down at the desk, and, when he 
had finished his milk, brought out a 
sheet of his personal stationery. He s 
for а moment staring at the wall and 
dicking his ballpoint. After a time, he

Dear Mother, 

1 know 1 have по! written for a 
long time, but you have been in ту 
thonghts very often these past few 


weeks, so please do not think ill of 
те. 

You may wonder why 1 ат writ- 
ing after such а long silence, and 
the fact is I have no one to talk to 
except you. How I wish you were 
here in this room, so I could really 
talk to you, but you aren't, so we 
will just have to make the best of it, 
1 suppose. 

The thing is that I don't. know 
where to turn. I have been very 
brave living here in this strange 
country all alone without you, but 
now il just seems that I have 
reached the end of my rope. You 
тими worry, because 1 am in good 
health and have plenty of money, 
it’s nothing of that sort. 1 simply do 
not know where to turn. I have no 
friends. I have no one to say they 
love me. 1 am so lonely and fright- 
ened that 1 don't know what to do. 
Remember when I was away at 
school, and the other boys made fun 
of me because 1 was smaller than 
the vest, and I was so desperately 
unhappy that I had to write home 
to you and tell you all about it. 1 
feel that way now. 

They are mocking me, these hor- 
rible low people you would mot 
have let in the back entrance in the 
old days. They are hurting me. 
They arc stepping on my heart with 


their dirty shoes. They are taking 
everything I love away from me and 
1 don't know how to fight back. 
Please, Mum, tell me what to do. 
Your loving son, 
Rudy 


He folded the letter into 


n envelope, 
addresed it, st 


mped it and put h 
clothes on. He walked to the comer 
mailbox and dropped the lener in. 
Then he walked back to his apartment 
and, this time, slept soundly. There had 
been no return address on his envelope, 
so the lener, after many travels, serib- 
blings and rubber stampings, would 
eventually come to the end of its pere 
grinations in a dead-leuer office some- 
place, where it would lie unopened, 
possibly for eternity. Mrs. Rudolph 
Smith, Rudy's mother, had been dead for 
nearly five years. 


The next moming was a fine one 
from the photographer's standpoint — 
plenty of light, but just enough in the

teresting shadows on the hills and a 
overall ominous tone. The second unit. 
under Rudy's supervision, was out on 
the ranch. No actors were present; non

Rudy murmured “Yes, that’s it,” he nat- 
urally assumed he meant Yes, that's fi

AFTERNOON IN ANDALUSIA (continued from page 160) 


And speaking of trajes cortos, may I say 
you look very fetching 

She was, indeed, looking very sharp in 
the ranchero, the country costume. A flat 
gray cordobés hat was tilted over the 
blonde hair, which she had twisted tight 
ept up in a knot. The shirt collar 
was stiff and prim and almost littlegirly. 
The narrow tie was black and proper 
over the Frilled front of her shirt, and 
the batero jacket was dove gray. 

A blick cummerbund confined the 
of her highly braced trousers, 
which were circumspectly striped with 
black on gray. in the manner of a bank- 

"s costume. They were short, split at the 
bottom, meeting her flat-heeled rawhide 
boots just below the calf. 

‘When did you order this outfit" 
Alec asked. 

“The second day I got here," she said. 
“You never know when some nice man 
will ask you to a tienta. І didn't want to

Anyhow, Juanillo says he wants to teach

"jOle! for the mother of La Virgen de 
la Macarena," Alec said, and reaped а 
response from the chauffeur. Alec co 
cluded immediately that the chauffeur 
didn't care much for his presence. 

The wip through the flat fields of 
wheat and rice was uninspiring, if dusty. 
Andalusia is only an extension of North 
Africa, and its hills like camels and long 
flats are equally Camel 
country, Alec thought, Camels and goats 
and bulls. Sun and rocks. Small trees 
nd short water. Good bull country— 
make ‘em walk over the rocks to water—

The oasis was spectacular. A sudden 
island of greenery blurted at them as the 
ulleur turned off the dusty main road 
into а duster small winding road. Не

road now than they used to, and leave 
less of it churning around inside in the 
trains of planetary gears. in the oil-filled 
torque converters: they're lighter, and 
race-car designers can use them, and 
revel in their great edge over the stick 
shift. An automatic can be set up to 
keep an engine turning at its peak 
power-producing rue whether the сагв 
in a 30mph hairpin or on а 190-mph 
straight, without any tention from the 
driver. This is very important, because 
some Formula 1 engines produce maxi- 
mum power only within a very narrow 
range of revolutions per minute. say be- 
tween 9000 and 10,800, the figures for 
the current BRM. This requires a driver 
to shift const lor ex-

this, and puts the driver in the position

Very well. And Q. E. D. And with the 
stick shift gone. how shall we amuse our 
selves with the delusion that we are all 
pilotes? There's the steering wheel. Yes, 
but not for long. We steer automobiles 
by wheel because when the thing beg: 
no other device could give enough leve 
age over so long a range. But, like the 
gearshift, the steering wheel was a com- 


promise and a makeshift, and no one 
needs it anymore. If man is to make race 
cars go faster—and he will, because that's 
the nature of the beast—he will have to 
lic down, to reduce the frontal area of 
the vehicle; that is to say, he will have 10

clining as hes doing now. If he lies 
down, he won't have room to wind a

No. Automation is the answer and the 
end. As а bulgebrained IBM technician 
said to me. “We will be the last people 
in the world to work." I asked Bill Frick. 
who was setting up automatics for race 
cars as long ago as anybody, how the 
future looked to him. Said Frick, "Cer- 
tainly the automatic transmission is 
inevitable for race cars. We must face it. 
We must not throw our bare bodic:

eyes of directors constantly, one and all 
were singularly myopic when it came to 
recognizing him as star material. Mae

give the Latin dancer small roles in two 
of her vehicles, but for the most part Va

came into his own only with the end of

equally potent hypnotic powers. A wom

Actually, Valentino was merely near- 
ighted. 

But there is no question that the 
graceful Latin stimulated women eroti- 
cally: and many were to admit later that 
their carly erotic fantasies had to do 
with being swooped down upon by a 
burnoosed Arab, lifted to his pommel 
and borne off on a white steed to the ac 
companiment of exquisite palpitations. 
Valentino also signified а retreat from 
puritanism by women, for he absolved 
them of the necessity 10 suffer crotically 
induced guilt: Their surrender to him 
was caused by an animal force they were 
powerless 10 resist, "Thus the ex-tango

granted the opportunity to gaze upon 
his torso as he demonstrated in exquisite 
detail the matador's ritual dressing in 
“the suit of lights.” Otherwise, the film 
might just as well have been titled Latin 
Lover Meets the Vamp. In it, Nita Naldi 
played a baneful, aristocratic temptress 
who tikes her pleasure with the young 
Spaniard and roses him aside. 

He made two more films for Para- 
mount, and then starred in The Eagle 
for United Artisis—which was а success 
less for its plot (Valentino was a Cossack 
n Catherine's Russia who masquerades 
s a masked. bandit and then

enemies of the Empress) than for the

featured. player 1091; already 
imitative of Valentino, he appeared as a 
sheik, in 1922, in Arabian Love. He was 
brought 10 Metro in 1924 by siar maker 
Irving Thalberg, as part of the search 
for a substitute Valentino, and it was 
there that he was transformed into a 
screen lover with the quality of "It" In 
His How, playing а Russian nobleman, 
he made passionate advances ıo Aileen 
Pringle. Possessor of “a new, impetuous, 
intense style of lovemaking.” as one write 
cr put it, he had "flashing dark eyes, 
even teeth and a mustache which helped 
audiences forget his oversized nose. 

In 1925 he played Danilo in Von Stro- 
heim's The Meny Widow opposite Mae 
Murray's waltzing Kitty, and was some- 
thing to behold in a series of resplendent 
uniforms and а стекан. Von Stroheim 
made him the romantic straight man 
in the movie, surrounding him with 
several lecherous companions, among 
them a moronic, sexobsesed crown 
prince and а [oot-fetishistic old roué. 
One of the many daring moments that 
managed to escape the censors showed 
Mae Murray dancing onstage, while her 
three admirers studied her through op- 
cra glasses, The old rouè concentrated 
on her feet, the crown prince on the 
juncture between her thighs, while love- 
smitten Danilo watched only her face 

By the time he was assigned to Flesh 
and the Devil. Gilbert was at the top of 
his career. His leading lady, а featured 
player, was Greta Garbo, and their mu- 
tual attraction, in spite of the difference 
in star status, was instantaneous, accord- 
ing to director Clarence Brown, who 
sud: “In their scenes together I was 
working with raw material. They were 

т that blissful state of love which is so 
like a rosy cloud that they imagined 
themselves hidden behind it, as well 
as lost in iL" Of course, it was Metro 
policy 10 encourage the айай, and 
Brown’s statement may have been slight- 
ly overblown, At any rate, that peculiar 
something which Hollywood terms

together achieved a stunning. popularity 
that neither might have reached. alone. 
He remained in favor until sound came 
rushing in; then not even further pair-

But not Garbo. Her star remained. in 
the ascend: 


icy long beyond the Twen- 
ties, and many still deem her the greatest 
femme fatale of them all, as well as a 
magnificent actress. Born Greta Gustall- 
son in Stockholm, in 1906, she made her 
film debut in commercial shorts when 
she w tenure pre- 
paring shaving Luther in a barbershop: 
and she was also a buxom bathing benu- 
ty. clad in a black, form-fitting swimsuit 
in a long-forgotten Swedish comedy. It 
was director Mauritz Stiller who saw her 
potential and cast her as a countess in 
his film version of The Saga of Gösta 
Berling. Greta, her last name now 
changed to Garbo. played a widow 
whose “cold, repressed exterior masked 
her passionate Italian soul.” Garbo and 
Stiller became a kind of Trilby-Svengali 
pair. Not long afterward, Garbo was cast 
by the German director G. W. Pabst in 
his The Joyless Street, made in Berlin. 
She played the daughter of an impover- 
ished profesor in postWar Vienna; 
momentarily tempted by prostitution, 
she is rescued їп time by her own pure 
nature and an American Red Cross licu- 
tenant. In the brothel sequence, howev- 
er, although unbesmirched, she was not 
unrevealed: Her flimsy evening gown, 
cut to the navel, was altogether. inade- 
quately secured. by a single string just 
below the bosom. 

In Berlin, Stiller met that inveterate 
talent scout. L.B. Mayer. and was pre- 
vailed upon to join MGM in Holly- 
wood. According to Stiller, it was he who 
insisted that Garbo come along, while 
Mayer later claimed it was Garbo he was

publicity paces, even posing her next to 
Leo the Lion. Althou 
on the alert for porent box-office sex, the 
Hollywood studios often seem sı ly 
unable to recognize it even when it is 
right there on the list of their own con- 
traer players 

For Garbo's fist American picture, 
The Torrent, it was necessary for Stiller, 
as director, to request her for the part of 
Leonora, a Spanish girl who becomes a 
famous prima donna. His request w: 


16. after а brief 


gh nominally ever 


granted; but Stiller was destined never 
to direct the film, for his slow European 
pacing was anathema to the studio, and 
Monta Bell replaced him. Garbo's 

was almost at once apparent as out of 
the hackneyed material she created an 
enchanting figure on the screen. She was 
billed under Ricardo Cortez, but the re- 
views singled her out. One critic wrote 
“Greta has а delightlully youthful figure 
and a face that is strangely attractive, 
though. not at all beautiful." 

Again Stiller was replaced as director 
of her next picture, The Temptress, in 
which she played a highly experienced 
married woman who falls in love with 
another man—in this case, Antonio Mo- 
reno, portraying an Argentine engineer. 
When he discovers she has had many 

irs, and has not hesitated to employ 
body to advance her husband's ca- 
т, he leaves for his native country. 
Years later he finds her again in Paris, 
where she is a streetwalker, and dying in 
poverty to boot. Metro, after releasing 
the film that way, substituted another 
ending, in which Garbo and Moreno are 
seen standing happily, arm in arm, at 
the fade-out. 

Garbo's face, in this film, took on the 
fascinating allure that was to haunt the 
film public for years to come. The bur- 
geoning star, though, was bearish about 
the roles given her by MGM. “I do not 
want to be a silly tempuress,” she said, 
scornfully. “I cannot see any sense in 
geuing dressed up and doing nothing 
but tempting men in pictures." But she 
was even more tempting in her third 
American movie, Flesh and the Devil, 
her first of four opposite John Gilbert 
Oliscreen, Gilbert at once made a play 
for the exotic Swedish dish, and the stu- 
dio cannily leaked out word of the hot 
romance between the two as shooting 
progressed. “This helped skyrocket the

while making her films, she emerged, 
like a beauteous ghost from the past, 30 
years later, when she was suddenly redis- 
Covered by Henri Langlois, head of the 
Cinémathéque Francaise. In the notes he 
prepared for a French exhibition called

perhaps too enthusiastically, “There is

films were taken seriously in their day; 
and if some of them have since been sub- 
jected to critical reappraisal, it is due 
solely to the fact that a Louise Brooks 
cult sprang up years after her retirement. 
The cult developed mainly because 
she went to Berlin and made two films 
for the famed Gi an director G. W. 
Pabst. Pabst, in 1928, had in mind a 
film, Pandora's Box, which would ex- 
the essence of feminine

barked on a search for the perfect Lulu,

her talent, and her combination of beau- 
ty and intelleet had made her the pet of 
California's café society and of the ridh 
roués who sought her out. She accepted 
their homage with happy-go-lucky ga 
ety, and in the same spirit also accepted

Hardly reading the script, she gave a

mania in Pandora's Вох, She played the

Lulu picks up a young man and takes

but the man is the maniac Jack the Rip- 
per, who stabs her to death while they're 
making love. Her face, in that last mo- 
ment, is wansfigured with pleasure and

had been shown on the popular screen. 
Sound had come in by the time Pan- 
dora’s Box was released in the United 
States, however; and this—along with the 
heavy censor cuts that invariably attend- 
ed a Pabst film—caused it to make no 
impression on the general public, al- 
though it h been frequently revived 
for the edification of the studious ever 
since. Her second film for Pabst, Diary 
of a Lost One, was also brutally muti 
ed by the censors before its exhibition in 
this country. In that one she played the 
daughter of a druggist who allows her- 
self to be seduced by her father's

she disappeared from the screen in 1931. 
Still very much alive, she is currently 
writing her memoirs and has no doubt 
at all that it was the portrayal of sex on 
the screen, whether fantastic or realistic.

that kept the studios in business. Like 
many others before and since, she has 
never been able to understand. why the 
studios invariably attempted. to whittle 
down and bend to their executive will 
those godlike figures who embodied the 
source of their wealth and power. 

But the human race is various, even in 
Hollywood, and its capacity to create and 
throne new forms and types of beauty 
is seemingly infinite. As sound revolu- 
tionized the art as well as the industry 
known as motion pictures, vocal cords 
became an additional prerequisite. for 
any girl who aspired to stardom or sex 
symbolism. The cool Germanic accents of 
Marlene Dietrich. were already being 
heard as the decade ended, and soon to be 
beheld were the di Mac West and 
the tough-telking Jean Harlow. In the 
Thirties, the movies would find new ways 
of demonstrating the s

would find new methods of attacking its 
represible expression on the screen. 
But that’s quite another story.

After the barracuda explosion, noth- 
ing celse seemed to be happening for a 
considerable interval, so as a dead sol- 
dier out of the case of Irish went over 
the stern and bobbed away in the wake 
where our fileed mullet baits were 
dragging, Ernest passed me the Colt 
Woodsman and asked me if I shot. By 
the time I figured out where the safety 
catch was and how it worked, the bob- 
bing boule began to look as f 
а ship on the horizon. But without т 
ing the pistol to sight it—shooting from 
the lap, as it were—I sheered off its neck 
with the first tentative and diffident 
shot. Hemingway, jumping up out of 
the fishing chair beside me, burbled ex

in the world who could make a shot like 
that, and Jesus Christ if he'd known I

and equally so for all bait fishing. It

was left for the fisher in the chair was 
largely the proverbial chore allotted to 
strong back k mind 
‚ just a letting out of line and 
subsequent trolling, and no element of 
ng. either, except by the skipper. 
Even then, whatever attraction the lure 
exerted for the fish was more the skip- 
per's doing than the angles. The pres- 
entation of the bait was allected less by 
the manipulations of the angler's rod

Later on. with the development of faster 
d more maneuverable boats, and with 
the general adoption of outriggers to re- 
lease the trolled line to the fish at the 
moment of the strike, deepsea fishing 
became even less dependent on either 
the skill or the strength of the angler in 
the fighting chair, and more th

Both Northwestern and. Wisconsin are 
in bad shape. Most of the big horses 
graduated at Evanston in June, and the 
transition from coach Parseghian to 
Alex Agase produced a bad reer 
year for Northwestern. So while the 
Wildcats will have one good {им offen-

Irish boosters are in for a bit of a let-
