Fess Parker, America's No. 1 Personality!
By TOM E. DANSON
HOLLYWOOD — Fess Parker is one of the most fabulous personalities to hit Hollywood in years ... This steely-eyed tree-tall Texan rates as movie town's most promising personality of 1955 ... and also its most eligible bachelor ... Yet he's one of the most modest, unassuming guys around.
He has been described as having the virility of Gary Cooper, the rocky force of John Wayne and the quiet dignity of Gregory Peck ... He is unquestionably the biggest human prize ever captured by Walt Disney ... Since December, 1954, he has fast become the reincarnation of frontier hero, Davy Crockett.
He started out as the star of three "Disneyland" television productions that made entertainment history ... currently, the adaption of that trilogy is being

"Here, Kerry. You matches while I get it open."

DOWN in movie houses under the title, "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier." If the movie is half as successful as the TV shows, it'll be a big moneywinner.
He was born in the Baptist Memorial hospital at Fort Worth Texas, and the date was August 16, 1927. He spent his childhood summers on his grandfather's farm in Comanche County in the Lone Star State, and says that's probably where he first learned about Davy Crockett, whose name is a byword in those parts. He also learned how to plow, milk cows and charm the farmer's daughter.
He rears six-five from his age 12 shoes, tips the scales at 50 pounds. He is grey eyed, angry and possesses the home-num humor which helped make follows like Will Rogers, Irvin Cobb and Davy Crockett famous. If this isn't enough, he's also a fair-to-middlin' singer, witness his recordings of "The Allad of Davy Crockett," "Oldetsy," "Be Sure You're Right," and so on.
He is a man's man but he also appeals to the ladies. He still members his first sweetheart, dainty little brunette named Wellyn Tyler. Yet ask him why he's never tied the marital lot, and he says, "Guess I've got a restless heel. My motto is,
'He travels fastest who travels alone.'
He is an avid reader... At one time, he devoured three volumes a day, always about heroes of the West... He can tell you all about the life stories of such legendary frontiersmen as Sam Houston, Jim Bowie and Daniel Boone... "These fellows aren't just book heroes to me," says Fess, "They're my best friends".
He is godd-natured, but dislikes discipline... He balked at school rules and regulations, and was in hot water because of it on occasion... His favorite animal used to be a one-eyed cannankerous donkey named Jenny, a longtime resident of his grandfather's farm... "I loved that stubborn donkey better than anything," he says. "Maybe a psychiatrist would find that significant."
He recently bought a house in one of the Canyons in Beverly Hills, which led to rumors he might be planning matrimony; This Fess denies. He claims he wants a house of his own with furniture to fit his tall physique. He is buying custom made furniture, which includes a king-size bed. He sleeps in pajamas.

THE BOSS OF BROKEN SPUR
By—Nick Sumner
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
FARRELL wasn't being stubborn. He was a bewildered man, scared out of any power of making decisions that he'd ever had, and clinging to the spar of the rules. He shook his iank head regrettfully." Sorry, Kerry. Twouldn't be reglar." He turned to move away. Rusty's long arm shot out between the bars.
"I hate it do this, Sheriff, but we just naturally ain't got time t reason with you." One hand, balling up the cloth of the deputy's shirt front, dragged him close to the bars. The other, doubled to a fist, drew back and connected with the point of Farrell's weak chin. The deputy sagged limply, held up only by Rusty's grip on his shirt, while the redhead fumbled for the gun and keys at his belt.
Heavy fists were pounding on the jail door now, angry voices shouting for Farrell to open up. Rusty released his victim and let him fall to the floor. The lamp in his hand throthed with the fire.
the old bolt was practically soldered in place with rust. The red-head wrestled with it like a man in a nightmare. And then the stillness was broken by the thud of a heavy body hurling itself at the door.
They didn't look at each other. The jail was a ramshackle structure that wouldn't withstand many minutes of that furious attack. Rusty threw all his weight on the bolt, as the men outside were throwing theirs at the door. It was a grim race between them. The bolt uttered a protesting screech, gave a painful fraction of an inch — Kerry's eyes were fixed on it achingly— Then with a rendling crash, the door burst in, and the room was swarming with men.
Rusty whirled tigerishly, Farrell's captured gun covering the leaders of the mob. Kerry gripped the barrel of Lacey's gun with all his strength, only to find it unloaded.
Rusty's gun spat flame—four, five times in quick succession.
Rob's deep resonant voice lashed at them. "Because you came swarming onto my range when my back was turned—like a bunch of pack-rats—and killed six better men than you'll ever be, you've got the notion you're men. But you had to be two to one before you got up the nerve to try it, didn't you? And that set you up so, you decided the whole pack of you were big enough and tough enough to take on two men—when one was hurt too bad to fight back! I'm stopping you—because the first one of you that lifts a hand," I'll make him wish he'd never been born!
It should have been grotesque—one man threatening a mob—but it wasn't. There wasn't a man in the crowd who didn't feel convinced that Rob would do just as he said. He stood there a moment, poised like a taut bow-string, waiting for some move from them—and none came. He rapped out a command, "Get out of my way and let me get to my boy," and they parted before him. He strode
up the cloth of the deputy's shirt front, dragged him close to the bars. The other, doubled to a fist, drew back and connected with the point of Farrell's weak chin. The deputy sagged imply, held up only by Rusty's grip on his shirt, while the redhead fumbled for the gun and keys at his belt.
Heavy fists were pounding on the jail door now, angry voices shouting for Farrell to open up. Rusty released his victim and let him fall to the floor. The lamp in his hand shattered with the fall, and the cells were enveloped in blackness. Somehow, the dark made everything seem more ominous. Kerry shivered.
He neared the grating of the key in the lock of Rusty's cell. A moment later, his own door swung open. The pounding and the shouting were growing more violent.
"They'll be breakin' the door down soon," Rusty said calmly. "Is there a back way out here, Kerry?"
Kerry tried desperately to remember the plan of the jail. "I don't know."
"Well, we better start findin' out."
Necessity gave Kerry strength to stand up. With Rusty's supporting arm about him, they groped their way down the corridor to the Sheriff's office. Rusty struck a match, and its small glow revealed Lacey's spare gun hanging over his desk, and a bolted door in the back wall. Rusty reached for the gun and thrust it into Kerry's hand.
"Here, Kerry. You sold the matches while I get that door open."
Kerry leaned against the wall for support, his hand trembling with weakness so he could hardly hold the matches steady. The weight of the gun in his other hand seemed enormous. The shouting outside had died away, and the silence was ominous with possibilities.
Rusty's hands worked at the bolt with a desperate swiftness, but nothing happened. The door probably hadn't been used in years, and a grim race between them. The bolt uttered a protesting screech, gave a painful fraction of an inch—Kerry's eyes were fixed on it achingly—Then with a rending crash, the door burst in, and the room was swarming with men.
Rusty whiried tigerishly, Farrell's captured gun covering the leaders of the mob. Kerry gripped the barrel of Lacey's gun with all his strength, only to find it unloaded.
Rusty's gun spat flame—four, five times in quick succession, a sharp cry telling that at least one of them had found a mark. Then it clicked on an empty chamber, and the mob surged forward.
Rusty fought like a wild-cat smashing out with his fists in all directions, trying to keep his wry body in front of Kerry like a shield. But the sheer weight of the mob bearing down on him forced him back, brought him to his knees. Their bodies hemmed Kerry in, crushing him so he couldn't breathe.
A shot cracked out of the night, from the darkness beyond the fallen door, over the heads of the crowd. In the frozen surprise that held them, a loud voice laid its weight on them. "This is the sheriff!" In the name o' the law, I'm orderin' every ore o' you to clear out o' here an' go home peaceable."
As the crowd shifted, Kerry could make out that behind Lacey's heavy figure in the doorway there were others—maybe three, maybe a dozen, it was too dark out there to tell.
As the first edge of the shock wore off, someone in the crowd shouted, "You're not giving orders here. Parran. We've had enough o' your kind o' law!" A growl from a dozen throats seconded him. "We're takin' the law into our own hands, aren't we, boys?" "You're taking nothing!" A tall figure crowded Lacey out of the door and fronted the mob alone.
"Whos goin't stop us, Mallory? You'an that bunch o' riders we licked once already today?" "Feeling your oats, aren't you?" ping you—because the first one of you that lifts a hand, I'll make him wish he'd never been born!
It should have been grotesque—one man threatening a mob—but it wasn't. There wasn't a man in the crowd who didn't feel convinced that Rob would do just as he said. He stood there a moment, poised like a taut bow-string, waiting for some move from them—and none came. He rapped out a command, "Get out of my way and let me get to my boy," and they parted before him. He strode across the room and lifted Kerry in his arms.
"You all right, Rusty?" he asked shortly, as the redhead climbed unsteadily to his feet.
"Yeah." For once, Rusty had run out of words.
Come on, then, let's go!
When the Broken Spur crew had ridden out, the chestened nesters gathered themselves together. There was some muttering, but Lacey Parran rode nerd on them firmly, and inside an noun the last of them had trailed out of town, bearing thing wounded with them. The only one badly hurt was Fred Cullen, bleeding profusely from a chest wound that had just missed being fatal.
There was another casualty of the raid on the jail, to whom none of the farmers gave much thought. Calder, with one of Rusty's bullets lodged in his shoulder, made the best of his painful way back to Double Diamond, to spill the story of the night's doing—and receive the deluge of Cameron's rare, icy wrath over his head. The latter expressed his opinion of his partner's brains in terse, low-voiced words that flicked the gambler's pride on the raw, concluding, "And now everybody in town knows you, the Sheriff's probably got your description—that scar on your face makes you easy to spot—and if anybody sees you here, it'll start 'em askin' all the questions I been bendin' over backwards t' keep from bein' asked. Well, there's just one answer to that—you won't be here for anybody to see."

Orchestra Conductor Ray Block Finds Public Amazed at His Frequent Appearances on TV

years, who let me select the numbers for a show, then carry on from there, right out to the last-minute detail.
A few people have asked me what there is in musical direction. No trends at all. New music, yes. New fads, yes. But the basic principles of conducting an orchestra for television are the same, so far as I'm concerned, as in the old pit days of vaudeville and "legit."
It's those same old pit days that have stood me in good stead on television participly in the

NEW YORK — As an old hand at conducting orchestras for radio and television shows, I'm inclined to take it as unearned flattery when people show signs of amazement that I am able, week after week, to appear so often on CBS-TV.
Each week, I do five "across-the-board" performances on the "Robert Q. Lewis Show," a Saturday night session in the pit for the "Jackie Gleason Show" and the Sunday night batoning of Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town." There is also one CBS radio chore on Lewis' Saturday morning program.
I'll let you in on a little secret—it's a cinch.
For a musical director who, in the old radio days, took over the do-re-mi details of as many as 33 broadcasts a week, with five commercial shows on Sunday alone, this cut-back to eight stanzas a week is practically a vacation.
"But what about all those preliminary details such as selecting numbers getting clearances, providing arrangements and orchestra, and so on?" you may ask.
Good Organization
That is where an otherwise too-busy life is made immeasurably easier for me by the wonderful organization I've built up over the years. In my offices at the CBS building in New York, I have what is probably the most complete privately owned broadcasting music library in the world, accumulated over my 20 years in this phase of the music business.
I have a crackerjack staff of devoted employees, some of whom have been with me all through the
