During that time, she• went through the wringer; Fog, manufactured by pouring oil over hot plates, was blown into her face; 60 gallons of water washed over her during a rain scene; the overhead lights pour- ed down enormous heat. When it was over, all of it, Miss Bergman thanked the crew' arid they broke into applause, "She's the greatest actress in the world," said sepe camera- man, "No, she's not the greatest actress in the world," answered. another, "but she is the greatest woman in the world." — From, NEWSWEEK. The inhabitants of the little village of.Telephone, in North Texas, gave three ringing cheers when it was recOtly announced, that the telephone company was going to 'install a telephone there before the 'Winter. It'a Yeara ;since anyone tele- phoned Telephone, This oddly named village had a telephone once, but in 1952 it was blown down in a gale, SO now that a telephone is being installed again, the people are feeling less sensitive about living in a place called Telephone and having to ownaellk a couple of miles to the next village before they 'can use but there are some even stranger place-names elsewhere in the United States. There's a village called Hot Coffee, for in- stance. where the favourite bev- erages are beer and tea. And how would you like to live in such queerly named places as Bowlegs, Gizzard, Red Bug and Hot Quarter or in a township called Tiff? How does a young man living in the hamlet of Kiss Me Dar- ling, feel when he sits down to write a letter to his girl friend who live in Dimple and Bliss? In the U.S.A. there are also six Belles, five Maidens, two Dar- lings and a Damsel. Many place-names are the names of girls. There are, for instance, thirty-two Mations and six Evas. In all the States there is only one Man although there are four Bachelors, three Bene- dicta and, a Newcomer in Mis- sissippi, In Tasmania there's a place called Nowhere Else while County Galway has a Maam. Peculiar place-names in Britain include, Great Snoring arid Little Snoring in Norfolk, Upton Snodsbury, Worcestershire, Bar- ton - in - the - Beans, Leicester- shire, Pity Mee in County Dur- haiiin—T011eid" Poicaum, Dorset and Nasty in Herefordshire.

The tensions of the day were beginning to c stoarrd, Itnhgeridild4oglmrlean,faTche e osftratliliel finally told and she blew up dur- ing the fourth take. "It's no- good!" she cried despairingly. The screen in a nearby room went black and Miss Bergman's husband, Lars Schmidt, gaged at it impassively. In another 'mom, an ad-agenay man sat, waiting for his TV screen, to peacock with color: Nears'-hin t "composer David Asneerp woeked on. music for the score.` In the control room, squashed between aides, director-producer John Frank- enheimer hunched f or w a r d. Since $,20 that evening, when the taping oa the show began, Frankenheirner had been driving everyone hard; His collar was unbuttoned and his voice • had worked itself into a spiky rasp. He chanted: "Let's make it. Let's make it. Let's make it." It had all begun in NeW York in May, when Hubbell. Robinson,, ,- executive produaeid of NBC-Ilys., "startime," tosseda papei:Igeerelet book to James Costigan, lataliore of last, year's TV smash, "Little: Moon of. Alban." The book was Henry James' "The Turrissof -the Screw," a novella about a „goy- eriles• who fights to save the wails of 'two children — played by 'Heywood Morse' and Alexan- dra Wager — seemingly botind in compact with evil ghosts. Cos- tigan wove his three acts in, Galway, London, and Paris. Miss Bergman agreed to make her dramatic TV debut as the gov- erness. Arriving in New York for re- hearsals, Miss Bergman made no bones about her lack of en- tliusiasm for live T.V. The 42- year-old, thrice-married, -two- time Academy Award, winner was frank, too, about her re- ception by Americans; "They think of me as a naughty girl who ran away from home, was very bad, and has now return- ed . . ." The cast held preliminary re- hearsals at a hotel in New York 'before shifting onto the 11,400 square feet of NBC's color Stu- dio 2 in Brooklyn. There were problems, but by 2:40 one af- ternoon last week,, when the dress rehearsal was started, "The Turn of the Screw" seem- ed to be shaping up. There was This This ie.an, attractive idea tail- ed Chicken Biscuit Surprise. Roll biscuit dough very thin arid cut in circles, Place seasoned, ground„ cooked chicken• ,orn half the biscuits, and top each filled biscuit vvisth, an unfilled one. Press edges together to seal in the filling. Bake. Serve them piping hot as an entree with chicken-filled gravy poured over all, A, sprinkling of chopped parsley on top will add pleasing accent in color and taste. * Here are one or two salty hints which may come in handy: To cool bottled drinks quick- ly when unexpected guests ar- rive, put the bottles in a pail and pack them with ice and salt, very much as you pack your ice cream freezer. If you want to cool a, pudding quickly, place the container 'in , a pan of cold, well saltednaader. The proper strength salt solu- tion for processing vegetables for freezer storage need not be guesswork: a two per cent salt solution is approximately 1 heap- ing tablespoon of salt to 1 quart of water; a three per cent solu- tion is approximately Pis table- spoons of salt per 1 quart, of water. i4 Cook 20-25 minutes, depending upon size of apples.

Pumpkin pie season is here and Mrs. Olive V. Armstrong, has sent a recipe to the Christian Science Monitor with the com- ment, "After years of searching, I've found what I consider the 'perfect' pumpkin chiffon pie."

There is also. often; ,a touch of the bizarre about Han- nam when investigating, Shortly after the war' he went o lieleteaci in North Wales to investigate the murder of a wo- man found buried in the sands there, The husband was arrest- ed, It was also Holyhead's Thanksgiving Week when he was taken to the police station to be charged. A huge crowd lined the ap- proaches to the police station. There was also a band near-by —for Thanksgiving celebrations. As Harinam approached with the accused man, the musicians broke into "You Can't Marry Ten Pretty Girls." But Hannam is not only a "Murder Man." He is an expert on currency investigation. In 1947 the Yard sent him to the United States to investigate one of the biggest-ever transatlantic currency rackets. Later he posed as a holiday_ maker on the Continent to un-, mask a man who was running another currency racket which was world-wide. For weeks Hannam visited casinos and gambled at the tables. All the time he weaved his net—and caught the man. The Count of Scotland Yard had played his role so perfectly that many people thought he was a wealthy playboy of the peerage! Inevitably, through his public lectures. t h r o u g h newspaper publicity. Hannam has a vast public following. People ask for his autograph, When he was grilled by defence counsel, newspapers got a num- ber of letters protesting about "this monstrous attack on a good policeman," or rche does a very difficult job well." After. one case a national newspaper re- ceived over a hundred letters supporting the policeman, But wherever crime is discus- sed, Hannam will always be re- membered for his report into al- leged bribery and corruption among London policemen. He worked in completeseceecy. And, his 5,000' word report resulted in . three inen ,being brought to trial for conspiracy. The Lord Chief Justice said: "Thanks are due to " Hannam for his patient and ex- cellent inquiry." Many will always remember Hannam dispelling the fantastic rumours that swept Eastbourne before the arrest of Dr. ,Tohn Bodkin Adams, who was acquit- ted at the Old Bailey on a charge of murdering a patient. For w...eeks the resort had been full r --1 1- of wild stories. Hannam, in charge of the in- vestigations. called a Press con- ference. In five minutes he said there had been no mass killings. there was no hypnotic killer at large, there were going to be no mass exhumations. But he said there would be a' series of ex- pensive libel actions if sttch stories were not stopped. Then he left Eastbourne to go home to his ground-floor flat in Willesden, North London, Wait- ing for him was his wife, Anne. On the sideboard was- a large cake waiting to be iced by the , cook—Herbert Hai-inane Few people know that the Count is a first-rate pastrycook, and that he is "as at home in the kitchen—apron and all—as he is in the forensic laboratory, And, he is prouder of his two diplomas for culinary prowess than for all' the praise he gets for his detec- tion, A lionyWend film star had had five wives, each,, of whom had promptly divcirced him.

His eyes had a cold, angry glitter. As he lift the pelice car he clamped a cigar in leis mouth, A shiver went through the crowd , of pleasurable expec- tation „ . of being close to one of the most brilliant and ruthless detectives in the world. They watched Superintendent Herbert Hannam eagerly. On that day, het enough to melt blobs of tar in Gibbet Street, Halifax, Hannam wore an im- maculate tropical j a c k et of cream linen and a delicately striped shirt that blended with a dark grey tie held down by a gold chain tie-pin. His sleek, silvery hair was. brushed sharply back from his broad face. His manner was a cross between amusement and arrogance. But everybody was impressed. Everybody agreed he lived up to his reputation. Hannam had gone to Halifax to hunt a killer. It was Whit Monday, 1957. when lie arrived. Eut not even the holiday flavour and sun could blot out the me- mory of the violence which had come to tiny, 80-year-old Miss Emily Pye in her poky store on the corner of Gibbet Street. Only twelve hours had passed since the body of Miss Pye had been found before the Chief Con- eatable of Halifax called in Scot- land Yard.

To-day. at forty-nine, Hannam Is at the top of his calling, He got there by a mixture of brash- ness and brilliance, stealth and cunning, ingenuity and sheer plodding. He brought to Scot- land Yard an outsize personality, and the minor attribute of be- ing the best-dressed policeman in the country. He used all those gimmiaka in Halifax. He came out of Miss Pye's store to tell a reporter: "It's a must horrible murder . most horrible." His voice had the same clipped, metallic edge it has vheri his statements are challenged in court. Hannam worked sixteen hou'rs a day in Halifax, For many of those hours he brought a thril- ler-book air to the hunt, He put flamboyant nOtjce tie eshop windoW appealing for ahyboct Who knew anything to contact the police. He had copies of the Idotteas flashed on "einerna screens. r-Teari in churches, and distributed In several languages among the town's foreign population. Finally, he asked for every- body who had eyen been inside the shop up to six months before the murder to let the police fin- gerprint him. 't A week after the killing, Han- nam spent four hours alone in the shop. From behind its faded curtains he, peered at passers-by. Then he came out to say: ,`I've been getting the /atmo- sphere. Trying to imagine what that poor woman must have left like when the killer struck," It had an air of 'Dragnet" and Sherlock Holmes about it, But Hannan' is convinced such tactics work, It has all been built up over twenty-seven years as a detective,, earning him eighteen commendations for outstanding work, A' host of legends have grown from newspaper headlines or have been nourished in the.
