    Rosemary Clooney Hands Tori [rome'ikE Martin Big Surprise of Year By HARRISON CARROLL __ Until an electric moment yesterday on the set, Paramount never realized the drama in its casting of Rosemary Clooney and Tony Martin as co-stars in "Here Come the Girls." Rosemary spilled the secret when she led Martin to a phonograph, put on a battered diso and played an audition record of "My Old Kentucky Home" that she made 11 years ago in Cincinnati when she Was only 13. Laughingly, she told Tony that she had sent him a copy of the disc with a, request for advice about her voice. And then topped it by producing 'the actual letter which she had saved through all the years. &'tij$[j^$i Tony nearly flipped whejfi he read: "If you insist on making an audition record of 'My Old Kentucky Home,' at least sing it straight. You have a good basic voice but you are making strange sounds with it." <; . U.

TV ?√ß Radiologic i Macdonald Carey srairf [in New Series By TOM B. DANSON [ HOLLYWOOD. I wandered into NBC's Studio C the other i afternoon and was surprised to discover my good friend Macdonald Carey busy rehearsing his new radio show-r-"Jason and the Golden Fleece." After a brief ?╟≤reminiscing about our poker playing days in the South Pacific while in the Marine Corps, (Bougainville, to be exact), Mac said, "This is my first actual radio series jn almost 10 years, which rather surprises me when I stop to think that I. actually began my acting career via the Chicago and Manhattan soap opera circuit." In talking further with Carey. I learned that since his return I to the States and discharge from j the Marine Corps, he has con- ; jcentrated on theater and movie j I work, but feels that his new role as Ja'spn?╟÷a philosophical adventurer and owner of a 60-foot 'cabin cruiser, living in the French Quarter of New Orleans?╟÷is stood meat for any actor. Back again fo'r*a few more moments of reminiscing, with thoughts going to Neil Monroe an Australian major, and others in our semi-weekly poker "school." Mac made his first Broadway appearance with Gertrude' 'Lawrence in "Lady in the Park," but decided upon Hollywood after a contract had been offered him by Paramount. Here he made a number of pictures, including ^^^mmm. v..Wi ua joo ax lqs Vegas' new Hotel ypWL T>rfe gof tie interview but she'll have*W%ait. until some '0 other applicants are interviewed before she learns if she gets ?╟≤fob.?╟÷A.
