THE ALP THAT AMBLED BACK
NEW YORK - (AP) — The
Lotel door opened and a fist the
.ize of a mutton flipped, out.
1t caught me playfully on the
hin and snapped my head six
Lches to the leewad—all the play
nv neck has left. ;
.« ‘Ello, ‘ello!” boomed Primo
arnera. “Come in!”
“his is the way “Da Preem” wel
comes any visitor to his.room ex
ent a dwarf. And a'dwarf would
srobably get a big, friendly fist
a his face too—if.Carnera could
wing that low.
| walked in with a friend; who
arelessly tossed his hat on a bed.
“Oh, my God, oh; my God, don’t
lo that,” Carnera reproached him.
“That’s bad luck — “to put the
\at on the bed.”
But today bad luck is something
he big man they ‘used to call the
ambling Alp no longer has to
vorry about. He's "riding the
rest now -— making $200,000 to
950,000 a year in the wrestling
‘ing. et
At 42 the ex-heavywegiht box
ne champ is a success again, and
wappier than he has ever been.
Je is in love with his own life
tory. And he likes to tell it. with
he simple pleasure of a small boy
eciting an adventure tale. But
here is hardly space in one hotel
oom for Carnera, his king - size
yed and his over-size voice.
The big fellow, so.poor as a
ooy in Italy he wore gunny-sacks
‘or shoes, became European wrest
ling champion before he was old
:nough to vote. In 1928 he turned
o boxing and Wwas brought here
n 1930. 5 gy P : :
He was built up to the champion
ship in 1933, ag? t it a year
ater to Max ' Bdeér. The huge
shambling man — he's six feet 6
-2 inches, weighs 265 -+ was a
somewhat pathetic figure in those
jays. The men who manipulated
him cut his fabulous earnings
more ways than a cafeteria pie.
“But it is. not true that I went
home in Italy in 1936 all broke,”
insisted Carnera, who has pride. “I
hought a villa, a farm with eight
tenant hoyses and some other
property, which I still have.
“No, the big mistake I made in
my life—it was to take back my
American dollars to Italy. When
the currency there fell I lose all
my cash.” R b

During the war the Germans put
Primo to work with a pick and
shovel, and paid him fifteen cents
for a ten-hour day—something,
he said, no fight manager ever
did to him.
4 First Love
Carnera returned to America
with him family late in 1946 and
reconverted immediately to “my
first love—wrestling.”
“It is much better than boxing,”
he said. “After 30 in boxing you
are through. You lose the eyes,
the speed. But in wrestling all
you need to keep is the strength.
“You push, you pull—but your
brain it don’t get hurt. When they
put the legs around the body and
squeeze, it don’'t hurt the brain.”
“My advice to Joe Louis is to
quit before he gets hurt. He has
gone down a long way. I was
lucky not to get hurt.
“I am much better off now. In
the boxing game you make the
big gate. But maybe only once,
twice a year. But in wrestling
you work four, five, six nights
every week.”
Carnera gets from $350 to $2,000
a night, and as he says, “This time
I get to keep most of it myself.”
He used to be only amiable. Now
he’s smart as well.
Seeks Citizenship
Carnera wants to become an
American ' citzen. His family—
his wife and their children, Um
berto, 9, and Giovanna Maria, 6—
live in Los Angeles.
“They didn’t speak English
when they came over,” he said.
“Now Umberto is in the fourth
grade, and ahead of the others in
the class. I am amazing about
it—the way he speak English. He
is going to study and study until
I tell him to stop and learn a
trade. But boxing or wrestling—
oh boy, No!”
~ ‘And then Carnera, who is art
less but was never as foolish as
he has been made to appear, said
‘with massive dignity:
~ “It is all wonderful. lam very,
very happy.”
~_The gunny sack days are gone.
There’s food in the pantry, a car
in the garage, cash in the bank—
and more rolling in every night
lPapa grunts and groans. The Alp’s
}doing okay.

Tow of Hollywoods most capa
ble players, Joan Blondell and
MacDonald Carey, are the stars
when WGAU-CBS’ “Ford Thea
ter,” directed by Fletcher Markle,
presents a full-hour wversion of
th ecomedy “Page Miss Glory” to
night at 9:00 p. m.
The story has to do with a hust
ling promoter, played by Mr.
Carey, and a down-at-the-heels
publicity photographer who cook
up a composite’ photograph com
bining the most attractive features
of a number of celebrated beauties
and enter the picture in a contest
designed to pick the most beauti
ful girl in America. When they
entry wins top honors, they are
obliged to produc€ the subject —
an unforseen contingency which
they resourcefully meet with their
discovery of a charming chamber
maid, played by Miss Blondell.
JANE and her mother decide to
go into the Christmas card busi
ness during the “Mr. Ace and
JANE” comedy broadcast tonight
at 8:30 p. m.
Mr. Ace’s fears that this Christ
mas promises to be his worst yet
turn out to be unfounded. Or, as
Jane puts it: “You were just a
Noel Coward.”
Goodman and Jane Ace are co
stars of the comedy series, which
is written, produced and directed
by Ace. :

YHE BANNER-IERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Every sprightly supper resort in
town knew them, every gay and
brightly ligted gathering place,
every theater, public ball, enter
tainment, minstrelsy. Every time
the violins played somewhere,
any where, she was in his arms
there, turning in the endless, fe
vered spirals of the waltz, she was
in his arms there, somewhere, in
a halted carriage, heads close to
gether, sweetness of magnolia all
around, gazing up at it with
dreamy, wondering eyes.
Mobile, then, in the flood tide of
their ormance; and all was rap
ture, all was love.
Inereasingly uncomfortable, and
extremely bored in addition, feel
ing that all eyes were on him, he
packed back and forth in the mod
iste’s anteroom; and at every turn
seemed to come into collision with
some hurrying young girl carry
ing fresh bolts of goods into a
curtained recess behind which
Bonny had disappeared an inter
minable length of time previously.
He could hear her voice at in
tervals, topping the rustles of un
wound fabric lengths and careful
ly chosen phrases of professional
indugement.
“I cannot decide! The more you
bring in to show me, the harder it
becomes to settle on one. No leave
that, I may come back to it.”
&® % &
Suddenly the curtains parted,
gripped by restraining hands just
below the breach, so that it could
now spread downward, and her
head, no more, peered through.
“Lou, am I taking dreadfully
long? 1 just remembered you, out
there.”
“Long, but not dreadfully,” he
answered gallantly.
“Why don’t you leave and then
call back for me gaain?” she sug
gested generously.
“How soon shall I come back?”
“You had best give me a tull
‘hour and a half, I shall need that
much. Oh if you tire in the mean
tice, go straight back to the hotel,
and I'll follow you there.”
He took up his hat with alacrity,
glad to make his escape.
Her bodyless face formed its
lips into pout. \
“Aren’t you going to say good
by .to me?”
She touched her lips to show
him what she meant, closed her
eyes expectantly.
“In front of all these people?”
“Oh, dear, how you talk! One
would think you weren’t my hus
band at all. I assure you it’s per=
fectly proper, in such a case.”
He stepped over to the curtain,
coloring slightly, pecked at her
lips, turned, und got out of the
place.
Strangely, in spite of his em
lbarrassment, he had a flattered,
self-important feeling at the same
|time; he wondered how she had
been able to give him that, and
’whether she had known she was
doing it when she did. And secret
ly decided that she had.
She knew every cause, she knew
every effect, she knew how to
achieve them. Bverything she did,
she knew she did.
He set out to enjoy the after
noon sunlight, and the blue Gulf
reaching to the horizon, and the
crowd of strollers drifting along
the shoreline promenade.
The slow baking warmth of the
sun was pleasant on his shoulders
and his back, and occasionally a
little salty breeze would come, just
enough to temper it. C’ouds that
were thick and unshadowed as egg
white broke the monotony of the
sky, and on every one’s face there
was a smile—as there must have
been on his, he at last realized, for
what he was seeing was the un
thinking answer to his own smile,
offered by face after face in pass
ing.
He had money enough now for
a long while to some, and she
loved him—she had shown it by
indueing him to kiss her in front
of a shopful of girls. What more
was there to wish for?
After two complete circuits of
the walking space provided, he
stopped at last by the wooden rail
flanking it, and rested his elbows
on it, and stood in contemplation
with his back to the slow-moving
ambulators he had just been a
member of.
He had been at rest that way
for perhaps two or three minutes,
no more, when he became con
scious of that rather curiously
compelling sensation that is re
ceived when sonmeone’s eyes are
fixed on one steadfastly, from be
hind.
There was no time to be warn

LARRY PARKS HINTS
FAREWELL TO MUSICALS
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 9 —(AP)—
Jolson-Parks fans had better not
count on a third edition of the
mammy-singer’s biography,
Al Jolson already has recorded
enough songs for a third musical
based on his life. But Larry Parks,
who once fought against doing the
current sequel, “Jolson Sings
Agany,” indicates that\ he is giving
up song-and-danice movies,
“Before Jolsonn, I did & couple
of musicals in which I used my
own voice,” Larry said, “But mu
sicals are too tough. They take 10
years from your life. I'd just as
soon not do any more.”

Maureen O’'Hara flew back to
