Lanza’s Widow
Succumbs from
‘Broken Heart’
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., UP) —
Singer Mario Lanza’s widow,
once known as Hollywood’s most
patient wife because of her late
husband’s stormy antics, died
Friday.
A maid found the pajama-clad
body of Betty Lanza in bed in her
rented mansion. Police say the 37
year-old widow apparently died of
natural causes.
Her brother, Bert Hicks, said
she died “of a broken heart.”
“She never recovered from
Mario’s loss,” he said. “Her life
seemed empty.”
Her husband died of a heart
attack last Oct. 7 in Rome, at
the age of 38.
Mrs. Lanza, a native of Chicago,
came to California in 1944 to work
in an aircraft plant. Her brother
introduced her to Lanza, then a
young tenor, at a Hollywood party
that year. They were married in
April, 1945.
The couple had four children —
Colleen, 10, Eliza, 8, Damon, 6,
and Mark, 4.

SOCIALITE WOWS N. Y,
NEWSHAWKS WITH
SNAKE CHARMING BIT
By HAL McCLURE
NEW YORK, UR — An adven
turous socialite from Philadelphia
flew in from the Brazilian jungles
Friday with a smuggled snake, a
hairless dog and a breathless tale
of spear-hunting for jaguar.
But a news conference she
called was as wild as any jungle
adventure — especially after she
freed her 12-foot-long pet ana
conda.
Pretty Stella (Sissy) Reeves, 27,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Reeves, journeyed to the wilds of
northwest Brazil last June, spear
in hand, to kill a jaguar. She
did, too.
Nearly a dozen newsmen and
photographers were assembled in
an eight-floor suite at Manhat
tan’s staid Algonquin Hotel when
Miss Reeves arrived. Aides car
ried a footlocker.
“What’s in the box?” asked
one photog.
“Thats Adam,” said Miss Reeves.
She opened the lid. The foot
locker was stuffed with the ana
conda.
Miss Reeves said she found
Adam in the jungle and smuggled
him out of Brazil by hiding him
under a false bottom in her
trunk. She also brought along a
little hairless hunting dog.
She said she spent 34 days on
the jungle trail before spearing
a 340-pound jaguar. She ad
mitted a couple of rifle shots also
were needed to finish off the big
cat.
The photographers wanted her
to pose with the snake.
“Stand in a circle and be
quiet.” commanded Miss Reeves,
a petite strawberry blonde.
She took off her shoes, grabbed
Adam and gently tossed him into
the center of the room.
“I’m deathly afraid of snakes,”
said one photographer, leaping
nimbly onto a window sill.
Adam, tongue forking wildly,
slithered toward a wall. Two re
porters hastily joined the photog
rapher in the window. The women
writers watched from the hall.
“He’s not poisonous,” said Miss
Reeves, flinging Adam around
her neck.
Miss Reeves wrestled with
Adam for several minutes while
photographers — from a distance
— popped their flash bulbs and
cfied “Don’t let go, for Pete’s
sake.”
Then it was over and Adam
was pushed back into his foot
locker.
Miss Reeves sighed and said:
“I talked with mother today and
she said: ‘Don’t bring that damned
snake home.’ ”
Army Warns
Young Lovers of
Marriage Pitfalls
WASHINGTON, UPl — A new
Army pamphlet warns young
people against a Prince Charming
Sleeping Beauty aproach to
marriage.
“None of us is a Prince Charm
ing, and no one ever marries a
Sleeping Beauty,” one chapter of
the pamphlet says. The publica
tion is one of a series being is
sued toy the Army on the general
subjects of duty, honor and
country.
In marriage, the Army adds,
"love is important if it’s the right
kind of love,” not an infatuation
of “excited love” that “may leave
you breathless today tout won’t
last in or out of marriage.”
The pamphlet advises young
people that sex, finances, religon
and background are important
factors to be considered in taking
the step.
It also is critical of any notion
that matrimony is “a ball and
chain existence” or “a noose that
a smart man avoids.”
No marriage is perfect, it adds
philosophically, and “couples cele
brating golden anniversaries who
say they never had a fight have
poor memories.”
The Gall of Him!
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Ml — A man
told City Court he wasn’t drunk
when police arrested him — He
was only trying to dissolve his
gallstones.
Judge Beverly Boushe asked for
details on the medicine.
“Well, said Jesse Nea^l, 55, “this
friend gave me the recipe. First I
had to drink one quart of beer.
Then I mixed up a box of epsom
salts with a cup of vilegar, a
quart of hot water, a pint of gin
and a cup of bluing.”
Officers said Neal was a long
way from being finished with his
dose when they arrested him Fri
day as he staggered around the
neighborhood.
The judge asked Neal to stpp
back by the court after consuming
the mixture. “I want to see what
you look like afterward,” he said.
But Neal said he had lost faith
in his medicine. The judge dis
missed the charge of drunken
ness.
