HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 26—UP—A
movie star who has been movie-
less, Sheree North, finally started
her first film Wednesday and
served notice she'll be no carbon
copy of Marilyn Monroe.
Sheree indicated with a sigh she
is weary of being reminded she is
20th Century Fox' second-stringer
who was signed after Marilyn
skipped out to get married. For a
year Sheree has been yanked in
and out of casting announcements,
depending on whether Marilyn was
speaking to the studio that week.
After Marilyn announced she
wanted to play in "The Brothers
Karamazov" the studio suspended
her again and Sheree won another
hand-me-down Monroe role, co-
starring with Betty Grable In "How
to be Very, Very Popular." Un-
like Sheree's other announced
roles, this one is actually geeting
on celluloid.
"But I'm doing this part my
way," Sheree said firmly as she
walked on the set for her first
movie job. "If I'm ever going to
be known, it wiI' have to be my
way."

director and writer at the picture,
originally wrote it as a custom-Job
for Marilyn. To tailor it for Sheree,
he explained, he switched the
script from "blah" to "sharp."
"For example, the girl's opening
line was 'blah'—you know, wide-
eyed, like Marilyn. To suit Sheree,
I made it a sharp line," he said.
"And Sheree," he added firmly
in memory of the open-mouthed
Monroe, "will not act like Marilyn.
She has been instructed to play the
entire part with her mouth shut."
Sheree actually has her own type
of wiggle and behaves not at all
like Monroe. The wise-cracking
dancer is more like a blonde, sexy
Eve Arden.
For the first scene Sheree and
Betty Grable (her injured knee
still in a brace) had to walk in a
man-made rain on the set. Water
even spouted from pipes that
framed the camera. The two
blondes were thoroughly soaked
clothes and all, before they stepped
before the camera in the downpour.
After one day of this wet work,
flipped Sheree, "I'm beginning to
wish Marilyn would come back!"
"This rain! I dunno, maybe they
can have this business. And this
six o'clock in the morning bit,"
she groaned.
"But I won't feel as if I've really
done anything until I see the re-
sults on the screen.
"It's almost a year since the
studio signed me. And all I've done
so far is publicity."
Army Caravan
To Spend Night
Here March 8
A caravan of 47 army vehicles
carrying 136 men will spend the

Entire Stage Production Of Peter Pan
To Be Moved Into Television Studio
NEW YORK, Feb. 2ft—UP—An
entire stage production will be
moved into a television studio for
the first time next week when the
musical version of Barrie's "Peter
Pan" is made ready for the two-
hour TV presentation scheduled
for the NBC network on March 7.
The show closed Saturday night
at the Winter Garden after a run
that began last Oct. 20. The TV
presentation will run almost two
hours, and only a few minutes will
have been cut from the stage ver-
sion.
Mary Martin, the star, is not ex-
actly a stranger to television, but
her appearances on it have been
more spectacular than frequent.
People still talk about her TV de-
but a couple of years ago on the
Ford Anniversary show. She also

Holden, Kelly Star
In War-Love Story,
"Bridges At Toko-Ri
Another fiercely-tender chroni-
cle of that most ironic of modern
wars, the Korean conflict, from
the sweeping pen of James A.
Michener, "The Bridges Of Toko-
Ri," will come to the screen of
the Texas Theater Sunday and
Monday.
Starring William Holden. Grace
Kelly. Frederick March and Mick-
ey Rooney, the Technicolor pro-
duction, tells the tale of World
War II naval flier, Holden, recal-
led to active duty during the Ko-
rean War, being forced to leave
his family and a successful law
practice.
The fast-rising Miss Kelly is
seen as Holden's wife who brings
her two children to Japan to spend
what time she can with her hus-
band. March is the tough but ten-
der Admiral Tarrant and Rooney
a devil-may-care helicopter res-
cue pilot.
The plot revolves around a ser-
ies of mountain bridges in North
Korea, heavily fortified, and vital
links in the Communist supply
line. Destruction of the bridges is
the target of the Naval task
force, both as a blow to the Red
supply line and to the morale of
the enemy, who consider the
bridges, protected by a screen of
anti-aircraft guns, invulnerable to
attack.
Criss-crossed with the adventur-
our story of the grim north Pacific
warfare is the tender love story of
Holden and Miss Kelly, who steal
a few hours of romance between
air strikes on North Korea.
Rooney supplies comedy as the
brash, top-hat wearing helicopter
pilot who specializes in Japanese
girls and fishing downed pilots out
of the ocean.
"Bridges at Toko-Ri" was pro-
duced by William Perlberg and
George Seaton and directed by
Mark Robson.
Radio Equipment
Received By Air
Reserve Squadron
"Instruments of National Pol-
icy," was the subject of a lecture
presented by Lt. Marvin Sanders
at the Thursday night meeting of
the 9872nd Air Reserve Squadron,
held at squadron headquarters
122M- Oak Street. Lt. Wade Kirk
Patrick held intelligence briefing.
It was announced that squadron
radio equipment has arrived and
will be in operation shortly, en-
abling the local squadron to con-
tact other squadrons in a radio of
approximately 300 miles. The ra-
dio will also be available in pub-
lic emergencies, officials stated.
A recruiting campaign has been
undertaken by Sgt. James Jacobe,
who is contacting by letter 75 to
85 non-affiliated reservists each
week.
A monthly squadron newspaper
has been established, and a con-
test is underway to name the pa-
per.
Lt. Maurice Reich. squadron
commander, issued an invilation to
all Air Force reserves in the Sweet-
water area to attend the weekly
meetings, held each Thursday
night at squadron headquarters.
Sgt. Jacobe is on duty each day
and will furnish information to
any reservist.
was the main cog in the Rodgers-
Hammerstein Cavalcade a year
later.
Solution Is Television
"Putting the show on television
seems to be the solution to the
huge problems that would have
made a lengthy tour almost impos-
sible," the star said. "And we love
the show so much that millions will
be able to watch a performance."
Although the original non-music-
al version of "Peter Pan" was 50
years old last December, Miss
Martin is only the fifth American
actress to play the title role pro-
fessionally in this country.
The first, of course, was the late
Maude Adams, who did it for the
first time in this country on Nov. 6,
1905. She was Peter Pan to a whole
generation.
Marilyn Miller Tries It
The next to try it, in 1924. was
the late Marilyn Miller, the ;great-
est star of the musical stafio dur-
ing the 1920's Ecal le Gallienne did
it first in 1928 when she had h"r
civic repertory theater and played
it often for several years.
The last to do it before Miss Mai-
tin was Jean Arthur, who had a
Broadway success with it in 1950.
In England, of course, dozens ol
actresses have playrd the role dur-
ing the 50 years because "Peiei
Pan" is done there regularly every
Christmas serson.
Disney TV Show Announced
Walt Disney, who already has
given the opposition rating head-
aches on Wednesday night with his
"Disneyland" hour, is all set to do
the same for afternoon rivals next
fall from 5 to 6 p.m. Monday-
through-Friday on the ABC net-
work.
"Mickey Mouse Club" is the title
for the new series which is sched-
uled to bow Oct. 3 in all time
zones. The shows will be prefilm-
ed. and the formal will be as flex-
ible as possible within the limits
of presenting material primarily to
appeal to juvenile viewers.
Artist Defends
Picture Of Bull \
ROME, Feb. 26—UP—American
artist Kenneth Evett claimed Sat-
urday he has known bulls back-
ward and forward for 29 years and
that his bull depicited in a Nebras-
ka state capitol mural is neither
cockeyed nor square.
"Anybody who says so, is talk-
ing a lot. . .well, nonsense," said
the 41-year-old painter and asso-
ciate professor of art and design
at Cornell University.
Informed by the United Press of
charges in Nebraska that his bull
was "so square it must have been
drawn with a T-square," Evett re-
plied from atop a 12-ioot scaffold-
ing in his studio at the American
Academy In Rome. J
"I grabbed hold of a cow and
started milking when I was 12
and saw my first bull about ihe';
same time. 1 know a bull when I
see one and also believe 1 know the
special design problem in these
murals." '

'Former Resident
Recalls Activities
Here As A Youth
Bill Davis of Fresno, Calif., with
the Kingsbury Oil Mills there, was
called to Sweetwater last week by
the death of his father, W. G.
Davis, veteran Sweetwater Cotton
Oil Mill superintendent who retired
several years ago.
While here on a visit with his
mother, he visited many old
friends as he has not lived in
Sweetwater since 1939. His wife is
the former Anna Belle Mitchell,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brack
Mitchell.
His quick trip home upon receiv-
ing news of his father's death is
typical of the changing times, he
said. "I left Los Angeles in a
Douglas DC-7 at 12:10 p. m. Sweet-
water time and was over Sweet-
water three hours later. We were
up 21,000 feet on a non-stop flight
and I had to go on to Dallas and
fly back by another plane."
He recalled, among other things,
a Buffalo Trail Boy Scout camp
he attended as a scout many years
ago when the camp was on Oak
Creek where the big lake is now
located.
"I remember Harry Home and
I were among t'jose who helped dig
a well for drinking water. We had
j a swimming pool in Oak Creek.
' The present day Wiley oil well on
the side of Oak Creek dam was
about where the scout parade
ground was then."
He remembered too that an old
model T truck was caught by a rise
in Oak Creek. Willis Davis and
others with horses carried the sup-
plies to higher ground but the
the truck couid not be saved as
the waters rose.
