Actress Is ‘Still Amazed At Suceess By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD « — A summer ago, Vivian Vance was appearing lin “Voice of the Turtle” at the \La. Jolla (Calif.) Playhouse. Little did she realize that she was trying lout for what might be a life’s job. In the audience one night were |Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. They | were looking for players to appear ‘in a TV show they were planning, |“ Love Lucy.” They liked her job ‘as the other woman in the three- jeharacter play and chose her to play Luey’s neighbor Ethel. | The sequel to the story is TV | history. “I Love Lucy” quickly | climbed to the top of the audience ratings and stayed there. A recent survey estimated the show had an unbelievable 42 million viewers. All {this continues to amaze Vivian ; Vance. | “If I had realized that night at |La Jolla that I would be trying jout for a part in the No. 1 TV |show,” she sighs, “I would have been too nervous to go on the | stage.” | “I Love Lucy” has done amaz- ling things for Vivian. Previously, |she has been typed on the stage |and screen. She played only hard, | brassy dames. She is now lining up a couple of pictures because the shooting of the “Lucy” series is recessed | until after the Arnaz baby arrives. |One of the roles she was up for was a witchy character such as she had always played. But the jeasting man said: “I don’t know | whether she can do the part; she’s jt sweet!” He obviously is a ucy” fan. | Vivian doesn’t mind the change jin her professional character a bit. Nor does she object to the 39-week grind of turning out the TV films. “It’s an actor’s dream,” she enthused. ‘‘You do the same char- | acter, but you don’t have the bore- dom of reading the same lines | week after week, as on the stage. |We also have what the movies ‘lack—an audience to stimulate | you.” Vivian was born in Cherryvale, Kan., but later moved to Albuquer- | que, which she considers her home | town. Her parents still live there. |She and her husband, Philip Ober, jhave a ranch at Cubero, N. M., | where they relax between acting . A. M.

She made a local hit in |“The Trial of Mary Dugan” and | the town raised money to send her to New York. She was to study under Eva Lagallienne, but the |latter turned her down. | “I couldn't go back home, so I fy stayed and stuck it out,” she re- called.

Talmadge suggested that with Byrnes as a spokesman if each state would contribute to a sizable fund ‘‘we could adequately presént the South’s viewpoint on radio, tel- evision, in committee hearings and in magazines.” He said the South has been kicked around and conceded’ the section has done a very poor job of public relations.

Improvement Co. Land Division EACH OF THREE OFFICERS TO DEVELOP LAND ON HIS OWN A. E. Golan, former treasurer of Key West Improvement Inc. filed 19 warranty deeds last week show- ing his share of the three equal parts into which the corporation was divided by lot. Last week Vincent Conley, pre- sident of the company filed 17 deeds, recording the portions of the 600 acres- which he drew. Charles Helberg, secretary of the now defunct corporation will be filing the deeds for his share next week. Golan will be developing his por- tion of acreage in the near future. Plans are being drawn now for a yacht basin near Cow Key channel at the head of the island, and for a canal which will provide an out- let to the Gulf side of the Island. A map of the new division of the corporation will beprinted as soon as it is available. The three officers of the com- pany are still the largest landown- ers on the Island of Key West, since their share come to 200 acres | each. Monroe county bought 160 acres from the company recently, which still has right to repurchase the acreage should the county abandon it as an airport. and by Golan has a ten cent stamp on it. This is of course, a vast understatement of the valuable Key West property which would bring 100 times that much on the market today.
