Marilyn Gets Good Supporting Cast
Although the presence of Marilyn Monroe and Tom
Ewell as the stars would assure the success of any
motion picture, Producer Charles K. Feldman and Director Billy
Wilder were not content to surround them with any old talent in
“The Seven Year Iitch, which
comes to The Theater Sunday and
Monday. They hand-picked the
supporting cast for he film ver
sion in Cinemascope and DeLuxe
color of the famous Broadway
comedy hit and chose the Pit
players with equal care.
For the role of Ewell’s wife,
Helen, who goes to the country
to escape Manhattan’s summer
heat and thereby sets up the situ
ation which gets her summer
bachelor husband into many hi
larious scraps, they chose Evelyn
Keyes, who has been a star in her
own right for years. She’ll be best
remembered from “The Jolson
Story.”
Sonny Tufts, long established
as a top comedian in Hollywood,
drew the role of the misunder
stood friend of the family and
Robert Strauss has the role of the
janitor. Wilder was familiar with
his talent from his portrayal of
“Animal” in “Stalag 17” both on
the stage and in he movie version
which Wilder directed.
Marguerite Chapman, who plays
Ewell’s love-starved secretary, has
*>
starred in many major produc
tions and just recently returned
from Europe t o resume film
work. Victor Moore, theatrical
veteran, and Roxanne, television
favorite, were employed.
Oscar Homolka. famed Vien
nese actor and longtime Holly
wood star, was brought from Eur
ope for the role of Dr. Brubaker,
the psychiatrist who refers to the
“urge curve” in the average mar
ried male as “The Seven Year
Itch,” from which the picture and
the play derived the title.

Four Youths Arrive
In Fairbanks After
Trip in Rebuilt Bus
FAIRBANKS, i/fi—Four young
adventurers, each 17, arrived on
Thursday in their .converted
school bus after a four-week trip
over the Alaska Highway from
Illinois.
The boys, Jimmy Latimore, of
Wilmington, Del., and Jay Stem
pen, Dick George, and Charles
Gustafon of Chicago, set out on
their northward journey in mid
June. The drive was uneventful
except for an accident to a wheel
that delayed them a week while
a replacement was flown in.
The four bought the worn-out
bus in Chicago four years ago for
$500 and rebuilt it into a home
on wheels. It contains bunks, tile
floors, a refrigerator and other
conveniences.
The youths said the bus burned
$400 worth of gas and oil enroute
to Fairbanks.
