Many an amputee must buy a pair of shoes when all he needs is one. An expense that often he can't afford. Recently a lady who lost a leg in an automobile accident appealed to me to find some- one with whom she could share a pair. I did some checking around and learned St. Louis has an "Odd Shoe Exchange." New York^s stores that sell one shoe at half the price of a pair. How about Our City?' Squelch.; |||.

Nothing is safe in this 3-D revolution. Marie is in a class with Jane Russell and Dagmar, as far as the feminine form is concerned.

This strictness of decolletage may be due to the fact that the picture is being shot in the wide- screen technique. This method takes in a lot more territory and gives the audience a closer} look than did the old style1' of j filming. 1 Censors will no doubt be grate- i ful that "Marry Me Again" is 1 not being filmed in three dimen- I sions as well. It was originally j I slated as a "depthie," but plans i I were dropped at the last minute. Whether Miss Wilson's form had j I anything to do with the matter j is not known. However, she is grateful that the film receives the wide-screen treatment. "IMAGINE ME in a flat picture!" she says. Marie is getting to be a slight- J ly frustrated girl. For seven] years or more, she appeared inj Ken Murray's ^blackouts on thel stage, doing a tongue-in-cheek | strip tease nightly. Her standi in the show revived her career! and led to "My Friend Irma"! land other successes. Now shej finds herself restricted in films j and TV too. "When I do^a TV show, I have to face the camera all the time;" she reported. "If I have a profile shot, they just die! And the dresses have to be very .conservative. But I think that was!; largely because of'our sponsor. Next season we'll have a news one and I don't think things will ; be so strict. "HERE'S THE way I figure: They're buying one girl and selling her to the public as something else." / ^".^" Marie isn't- letting the grass grow beneath her feet now that Irma is off TV and radio for the Summer.

Las Vegas, KLAS-TV, goes on the air tomorrow in the midst of the greatest display of top-notch video headliners the desert spa has ever seen. Over the week end I flew to Las Vegas to see how my TV stars were faring in the Strip nighteries and discovered that they're jamming the resorts for two shows each, every night. The business they're doing certainly disproves the theory that appearances on television kills a performer for personal appearances. If anything it convinced me that television makes people more anxious to see their favorites. One of the.'nicest things happening in Las Vegas is the hit being scored by Red Skelton at > the beautiful Sahara. Friday night the crowd s,tood and cheered when the good- natured clown made his first appearance on the stage. They were still cheering when he finally asked them to clear out the place and get back to the routine work of trying to make a few bucks. Red's r e c e n t television i shows haven't been too well j received by the experts but ; apparently the guys and dolls at home still have him on their favored list. In his -i-jmmwtr> jcl dressing room after the show ^ec* Skelton he was visibly, affected by the rousing welcome. "This is' the thing a performer dreams about," the redhead said, "It's a great lift to get out where you can meet people and get their personal ?√ß reactions. You can tell the folks for me that there will be more of the same for me from now on." Currently he's biding his time awaiting the outcome of negotiations between his agents and CBS over next year's television assignment. From the rumors going around the contracts are near the signing point and Red's new material should, put him right back in the top 10 list again. Red has to be in top shape at the Sahara to keep Teen-Ager Anna Maria Alberghetti from stealing his thunder, Down the Strip at the Sands Milton Berle echoire Red's1 nents about personal appearances. He's playing his first night-club engagement in six years and loving every moment of it. He's headed our way following the close of his desert stint for a brief rest before trekking back to New York to prepare for his new fall season.
