HOLLYWOOD, June 9-—Every agent in is jealous-of a fellow named Curly Twyfford (of his job, not his name). Curly represents 200 actors who are always in demand. He

never-has- to worry. about their)

salaries. ‘They have their price and that's it. Agents get 10 per i, cent of their clients’ earnings. Curly get the whole works. If their actors get sore, the

4 agent takes a verbal beating.

Curly has only four clients who

talk back to him. They are parrots. . » » .

Curly: is the contact man between the film studios and such actors as ants, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, frogs, wolves, gila monsters and skunks. Or; if they want them, gnats, geese, gophers, beavers, lemurs, eagles, grosebeaks— anything that walks, flies or crawls. Anything from antelope to zebras, ; ” » ” “And,” says Curly, “none of my actors ‘stink’ Even my skunks are deodorized.” Jim the Raven is Curly's. favorite actor. He picked him up when he was four weeks old and starving on the desert. He's great in front of ‘a camera. Jim has more “one-take” scenes to _ his credit than Margaret O'Brien,

He had seen animals in the movies and wondered if there was any money in it, There was. Film studios pay close to a milion bucks a year for animal actors. Well, Curly “taught two canaries to sit on the head. of a mongrel dog and sing. Then “he “made "the rounds “of the studios. They all got a job. “I -guess,” said Curly, “You'd

call it from monkey wrenches

to monkeys.” Curly’'s slogan is: “If it's alive, we have it.” : » n . That's stretching the truth a bit. For instance, he was once asked for 20,000 ants to appear in a movie. His slogan blushed with embarrassment for a moment. He didn’t have even one

ant. .

Maybe they read the script and discovered that Bing Crosby had a bigger role than they had.” ” ” n YOU'LL be glad to hear that Keenan Wynn is getting the breaks again after a big flash that M-G-M couldn't seem to capitalize on. They've decided to loan him out, and producers are waiting in line for his services. His first loan-out is with Laraine Day in “My Dear BSecretary.” Keenan also tells me he

He was getting $1200 a week there and that's what he thought M-G-M should pay him. Instead they offered him $300. Keenan took it, and | then went to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where he and Evie were staying, to tell her the news.
