Veteran Actor
Louis Calhern Dies
Of Heart Attack
NARA, Japan, iff)—Louis Cal
hern, veteran star of stage and
screen, died of a heart attack
Saturday as he was preparing to
start work on his 69th film, “Tea
house of the August Moon.”
The 62-year-old actor had been
in Japan since last month and
had appeared to be in good health
except for a slight cold during
the past few days.
The Brooklyn - born Calhern,
veteran of 40 years on Brpadway,
was considered one of the top
scene stealers in the movies.
Often he could play a scene over
his shoulder—with most of his
back to the audience—and steal
it completely from Hollywood’s
biggest stars.
He was 6 feet 2 inches tall but
looked even more towering be- |
cause of a towering stage pres
ence.
On the stage Calhern is best re
membered for “Life .With Father”
and as Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes in “The Magnificent
Yankee.”
For the latter role, he had the
distinction of being the only actor
in the history of Broadway to win
every award, by critics and
groups, in one season.
Calhern had been married lour
times—all of them actresses. They
were Ilka Chase, Jolia Hoyt, Nat
alie Schafer and Marianne Stew
* art. The latter divorced him last
yea r.
lus latest picture, recently com
pleted, was “High Society,” with
Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and
Grace Kelly.

Johnny Warren
Trial Postponed
Indefinitely
FAIRBANKS, UP) — The first
degree murder trial of Johnny
Warren, 36-year-old Negro drum
mer accused of killing Cecil Wells
in 1953. has been postponed in
definitely.
Warren and blonde Mrs. Diane
Wells, 31-year-old fifth wife of
the wealthy Fairbanks automobile
dealer, were indicted jointly after
the death of Wells, 51.
Mrs. Wells took her own life at
Los Angeles in March of 1954.
Both had been released under
bond of $5,000 each.
Wells was shot through the
head Oct. 17, 1953, apparently
while he was asleep in his apart
ment. Mrs. Wells claimed prowl
ers entered the apartment and
knocked her unconscious before
killing her husband. She was
bruised and had a black eye.
Dist. Atty. Ted Stevens said
a heavy crush of court business
prompted the postponement. No
future date was set for the trial,
which was to have opened today
in U.S. District Court.
Warren has denied any connec
tion with the slaying. He has said
he became friendly with Mrs.
Wells after she winked at him
during a country club dance

surgery arose to enable those
whose nose tips had been cut off
for adultery to correct the mutila
