Personal Appearances For Movie Cast Round Out Fourteen-Hour Day On Job By DOROTHY RAYMER Saturday night wasn’t the loneliest night in the week by a long shot as several personal appearances were made by movie stars for Twentieth Century-Fox company. At 8:30 p.m., a charter bus brought the cast and crew back from the docks. They were tired ,hungry, hot and exhausted after being out on location all day in the waters up around Ten Thousand Islands. 4 Gilbert Roland was scheduled to make an appearance at the Island- @r drive-in theatre. The entire cast was to show up at the Chief Petty Officers’ club over on the Naval Station. Since 6 a.m, that day, the actors had been in make- up for the shooting of “Twelve Mile Reef.” Trim Terry Moore sidled in for dinner at the Casa Marina patio still in dungarees and with nylon net over her hair. Her mother, Mrs. Louella Koford, said they felt like hiding behind palm trees, but the important thing was to get some food so that Terry could dress for the CPO appearance. Miss Moore could have eaten din- ner in burlap and still looked pert and pretty! Joe Sirugo, the drive-in operator and Chief Virgil Osborne, U. S. N. took charge of getting the stars together after dinner for the trek to the CPO club. They piled into cars and drove over about 1 P. m. Inside the club bedlam reign- ed as J. Carrol Naish, Gil Roland, Peter Graves, Harry Carey, Jr., and Dick Boone filed in. It took 15 minutes to get to the tables near the bandstand where Norman Kra- nich and his orchestra played a welcome salute, Terry Moore was still at the hotel changing costumes. Her mo- ther, in a lovely blue lace and violet sequinned evening gown was given an orchid for her hair and beseiged with autograph hunters along with the actors. Joe Sirugo played busboy; the orchestra played'tunes, and J. rol ih showed Cosette Callejo, local girl, that jitterbugging was easy for an Irishman who plays Italians, Indians, Greeks, and what have you or have you not. ‘in, fact, everything but his own n: Photogenic Baby WORLD, isn’t in?

JONES LONDON «® — Contemporary British composers, who often com- plain that making music in Britain is a frustrating business, get their big chance at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Every note played or sung dur- ing the solemn service in Westmin- ister Abbey will be British, and nearly half of it will be by modern composers. Musically the coronation service is a blend of the old and the new. The great names of the past — Handel, Byrd, Gibbons—are linked with modern masters like Ralph Vaughn Williams and Sir William Walton in the musical arrange- ments. For the anointing, the traditional anthem “Zadok the Priest’ will be sung—as it has been ever since the coronation of Saxon King Ed- gar 1,000 years ago. This is the oldest traditional part of the choral service. Since the coronation of George II in 1727, it has been sung in the setting by Handel, the Ger- man-born British naturalized com- Poser who spent most of his crea+ tive life in London. Immediately after, when Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, arehbishop of Canterbury, gently piaces the mas- sive St. Edward's crown on the young Queen's he: he choir will sing the anthem ‘onfotare,”” one {of the nine pieces written specially \for this coronation, by 70-year-old | Sir George Dyson, one of Britain's leading church organists.

Nobody has been breaking their necks trying to hire me. There’ © money in pictures any more, so I’m going back to being a dancer.” The long-time portrayer of coin- flipping sters will open his act at the Flamingo in Las Vegas in August. Then he'll tour Latin America, where, he said, he has a vast following—“because they think I’m a Latin.” (He is half- Italian.) ‘After that, I want to play the dium in London and other ) in Europe,” he remarked. “I'm still a big star over there. They remember the stars they saw before the war, whereas the new actors aren't well known. A guy like Kirk Douglas is big here, but few people know bim in Europe.” Raft was lunching at Roman- off's on a spartan lunch of raw hamburger and rye toast. He is training for the dance tour like a HEFTY TWINS BORN TROY, N. Y. .®—Twin girls born yesterday to Mvs, Charles Burn- didge weighed in at a total of 17 pounds 11 ounces.

At present he is diet- ing and working cut in a gym, In a couple of weeks, he'll begin dancing and choosing his partners, “It’s kinda rugged getting back jin shape at my age,” he said. Taft's age has aiways been listed in the record books as a question mark, and I asked him about it. “I was born in 1895,” he an- swered flatly, “and now I don’t care who knows it.” He looks much younger than his 57 years. His hair has receded and is flecked with grey (he refuses to dye), but his skin is that of a 20-year-old. That's the one thing he brags about. What happened to his picture career? “Lots of things,” he said, “For one thing, I think I made a mis- jtake when I stopped appearing with big names. My biggest suc- cesses were with peuple like Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Marlene Dietrich and so forth. Maybe they made me look good; maybe I was better with them. When I started appearing with then unknowns like Ava Gardner or Janet Blair, they rose but I slipped.” | He cited another reason: his fail- jure to cultivate bigwigs. “I suppose I shovld have gone around with producers, directors and. writers,” he said. “I could have given the big parties, as some stars did. But I was afraid to. I was afraid half of them wouldn't show up. People think I'm a tough mug, but I’m not. I bruise easily. “ mistake I made was to admit I couldn't act. I probably shouldn't have been so modest. Maybe I was better than I thought T was.” Raft may have been modest about his acting, but he looked back with nostalgia at his earlier dancing days. “I was the highest-paid dancer in this country,” he said, danced before the kings queens of Europe. A lot don’t remember that I first white one in the business. I the rhumba in pictures. “So you can see I'm no new. comer to dancing.
