Los Angeles Boy Breaks
Into the Movies But Not |
In LA—In Cannes, France j
CANNES, France, UP — Andy |
Schummer of Los Angeles used to
dream about being in the movies,
but he had to travel 6,000 miles
to make the grade.
Schummer lived near the Para
mount Studios. He tried many
times to get extra jobs to help pay
expenses while he was in the j
University of California at Los I
Angeles.
Then he went into the Army,
and was stationed near Anchor
age. While on furlough, Pvt.
Schummer came to France to visit
his mother, who lives in Cannes.
Director Alfred Hitchcock saw
him and asked him to appear
briefly in “How To Catch A
Thief.” The scene was shot this
morning on a street in Cannes.
Schummer’s big moment dame
when he picked up a French news
paper and tossed it to' Grace
Kelly, who plays the feminine
lead.
Motor vehicle accidents in the
United States killed 38,000 per
sons in 1952 while cancer killed
220,000 persons, the American
Cancer Society reports.

33 years a(|o they told me:
■ “YOU HAVE LESS
THAN A YEAR TO LIVE!"
“must taAVE been back in 1919 or
’20. Hqpeless case of diabetes. No
known curd.’
“but here i am. They found a treat
ment—insulin—in time. Today, no- j
body has to die of diabetes.
“cancer, I know,' is a tougher prob
lem. But the laboratories can lick
'that one, too—with our support. Al
ready, they’re curing people who
would have been done for a few
years ago. Last year—thanks to
$5,000,000 allocated by the Amer
ican Cancer Society from our con
tributions—they found out a lot more.
“they need money, though.
$5,000,000 is still less than 4 cents
per American per year. Not enough
to find the answer fast—230,000
Americans will die of cancer this year,
they say.
“i’m not rich, but I gave ’em $50
last year. After all, where would /
be if the laboratories working on
diabetes, that time, hadn’t been giv
en enough support—?”
