They take trick candid eamera shots of their nine cats. Of course they may seem a mild bit of ac- tivity for Hollywood, but maybe the Champions have a placid press- agent. And maybe you didn’t know it, but Cary Grant is quite aD ex- pert on the eighty-eights. z Hollywood is never satisfied with anything, it seems MGM is filming “Rose Marie’ one of | Rudolf Friml’s most melodie musicals. So they’ve got Friml to compose & few more songs for the movie ver- sion!

Actors of the Hebrew stage and important Israel government offi- ‘| cials honored Kirk Douglas at Tel Aviv at the first giant premiere ever given a motion picture in the new state of Israel, Israeli citizens lined the streets as Douglas and cast and crew members of “The Juggler”, being filmed there, ar- rived at the theater for a showing of “The Champion”, the film that gained Douglas stardom. Prior to the performance Douglas was pre- sented with a special award from Kolnua, Israel fan magazine, as the best actor of 1951, “The Jug- gler” is the first American film to be shot in Israel and Kirk is the first American film star to go to the new state to make a movie. Back before the, cameras this week is Charles Laughton, in the wake of his history making stage appearances. He'll play Henry VIII in “Young Bess”, which will mark his second in that lusty | characterization. And that is about all the news from Hollywood at the moment, you lucky people, you. However, I have coaxed myself to indulge in a bit of commentary. The motion picture industry set up a bodacious whoop and holler with the advent of television, bewailing the fact that folks were staying away from the movies to .watch the antics on the TVscreens in their parlors and in sundry bars and grills, They had somehow sur- vived the threat of radio, but had forgotten why. At the time of the wailing and gnashing of executive teeth there was quite a drop in cinema attendance. Some brilliant chap decided to turn out better movies to get people back in the theaters. Critics had advised this caper repeatedly but what is a critic to a producer? At any rate, we've had some rattling good movies during the past year or so and the Hollywood | geniuses are pleased, but still a bit stunned at the attendance re- cords around and about the land. In Miami, for example, “The Quite Man” ran for eight weeks at one theater. Just one indication that people will go to see movies as long as the movies are good. But they’ll stay away from stinkers, as we call them in the trade.

Group Hears Dangers _ Of Drinking By FRANK CAREY Associated Press Science Reporter MIAMI, Fla. ® — The “social drinker’’ who imbibes two high- balls every night before dinner | may be in danger of becoming an | incipient alcoholic, a psychiatrist from Richmond, Va., said Thurs. | Dr. Howard R. Masters said “it has always’been my belief that the | normal, well-integrated individual | who drinks socially will not become an alcoholic unless through disease, | injury or conditioning there is some | personality change for which he is | not entirely responsible.” | But, he told the Southern Medical Association there’s a possibility that regular drinking every night | before dinner can build up such a | “conditioning” in a “normal social drinker.” | Such an individual, he added, might establish a ‘conditioned re- flex demand” for alcohol so that “when an environmental situation becomes intolerable and he is physically or psychologically un- able to meet the situation, he may | become an incipient alcoholic and | potentially a sick man.” The doctor read a prepared ad- dress at the closing session of the SMA’s 46th annual meeting.
