Show Biz
Academy Award nominations
were released from Hollywood,
last week. The members of
the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences had a tough
job this year, for there were
many great performances and
fine pictures from which to
choose. A few weeks ago, I
made my predictions of nomin-
ees; some were wrong, as us-
ual, but others of my favorites
were lucky enough to make it
to the list of the chosen few,
For best actress, the nomin-
ees are: Anne Bancroft in "The
Miracle Worker"; Bette Davis
in "Whatever Happened to
Baby Jane?" (her tenth nomina-
tion; if she wins, her third
Oscar); Katherine Hepburn in
"Long Day's Journey into Night"
(her ninth nomination); Geral-
dine Page in "Sweet Bird of
Youth"; and the only one I
didn't predict, Lee Remick in
"Days of Wine and Roses".
Her co-star in the same pic-
ture, Jack Lemmon is a lead-
ing contender in the 'best actor'
category. His competitors are
Burt Lancaster in "Birdman of
Alcatrez" ; Gregory Peck in a
new release "To Kill a Mock-
ingbird"; and two European
stars, England's Peter O'Toole
for his title role in "Lawrence
of Arabia"; and Italy's Mar-
cello Mastroianni in "Divorce -
Italian Style".
"Lawrence of Arabia" topped
the list in the 'best picture'
category with stiff competition
in "To Kill A Mockingbird";
"The Longest Day"; "Mutiny on
The Bounty"; and the only
musical in the group "The
Music Man".
Supporting actresses nomina-
ted include 9 -year-old Mary
Badham, who plays the role of
'Scout' in her first motion pic-
ture "To Kill a Mockingbird";
teenager Patty Duke in her role
as Helen Keller in "The Mir-
acle Worker"; Shirley Knight
in "Sweet Bird of Youth"; and
two experienced actresses,
Angela Lansbury in "The Man-
churian Candidate" and Thel-
ma Ritter in "Birdman". Sup -
By Vonni Lee
porting actor nominations were
won by Ed Begley in "Sweet
Bird of Youth"; Victor Buono in
"Whatever Happened to Baby
Jane?"; Telly Savalas in "Bird-
man of Alcatrez"; Omar Sharif
in "Lawrence of Arabia"; and
Terence Stamp in "Billy Budd".
The Awards will he handed
out at a special ceremony held
at Santa Monica on April 8th.
The proceedings will he tele-
cast live, with Frank Sinatra as
host (instead of Bob Hope) and
CBC will carry the show. That
day, of course, is the day of
our country's election and no
doubt the Iloll'd goings-on
will be interrupted periodically
for results, but the Oscars will
still hold down the fort during
the latter part of the evening.
And here we go again with
more predictions! My choice
of winners now? -- Bancroft,
Lemmon, "Mutiny on The
Bounty", Duke, and Begley.

Las Vegas was the scene of
another Hollywood wedding on
March 2nd, when Desi Arnaz
wed Mrs. Edith Hirsch, ex-
wife of a millionaire American
sportsman. He is the former
husband of comedienne Lucille
Ball and oddly enough, his new
bride, whom he married on his
46th birthday, is another red-
head like Lucy. Desi has had
a tough year; it is nice to see
him finding some happiness at
last.

You probably remember a
few weeks ago on the CBC -TV
show 'Flashback', when Arthur
Vinton who played the part of
'The Shadow' on radio for forty
years, made an appearance as
a mystery guest. Only last
week, the same Mr. Vinton
passed away suddenly at his
home in the U.S., and Canada
should be proud that tribute was
paid to him while he was still
alive to enjoy it. The old
radio shows that at one time
were the greatest entertain-
ment in the world, are slowly
but surely being forgotten. The
passing of Arthur Vinton will no

Country and western music
fans are mourning the loss of
three of its greatest stars, Patsy
Cline, Cowboy Copas and
Hawkshaw Hawkins. The three
singers, along with Miss Cline's
personal manager, were killed
in a plane crash in Tennessee
on the morning of March 6th
when they were returning to
Nashville from a personal ap-
pearance tour. Patsy Cline is
perhaps the best known of the
three, mainly because her songs
have made it to not only the
western hit parade charts, but
the pop ones as well. Only a
few months ago, I listened to
her being interviewed, and to
say I was impressed would be
putting it mildly. There was

her. In fact, she was a sheer
joy to listen to, and must have
been delightful to interview.
Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw
Hawkins, who was married to
another country singer, Jean
Shepherd, were well known as
country -western performers and
,members of The Grand Ole Opry
cast. The merriment and fun
will be silent in Nashville
while they pay tribute to three
of its stars; and the entire musi-

in their mourning.
