'My Fair Lady' Is Big Smash HOLLYWOOD UPI — “My Fair Lady’’ has made her movie debut and she may be the fairest of them all. The picture is an overwhelming response to the knockers, a refutation to the critics who belabored Hollywood as a tasteless wasteland of sex and violance. It is a tribute to the magical arts of cine m a. “My Fair Lady” could not possibly have been filmed any-

where else in the world by craftsmen of any other continent. Though the story is unal- | terably Shaw's “Pygmalion” and i throughly British, it was clearly made in Hollywood. Warner Bros has remained true to the Lerner-Loewe musical that captivates theater aud- ; iences for six years in this country and abroad, adding nothing and taking nothing away. There were grumblings that Julie Andrews should have played Eliza Doolittle as she did on Broadway and in London. Perhaps so. But there is little fault to be found in Audrey Hep-

burn’s performance. Warners paid Audrey SI million for the role. Julie would have been available for onetenth that amount, but she had never made a movie before “Mary Poppins”. Rex Harrison is almost certain to be nominated for an academy award. He is Professor Henery Higgins. But sharing acclaim with the performers are the costumes and sets—designed tjy Cecil Beaton. For the first time in memory preview audiences ap-1 plauded the wardrobes and settings. The music and lyrics are as I bright and fresh as ever. Every decade or so Holly-1

wood comes up with a motion picture of such overwhelming scope and quality that the town can hardly believe its own eyes. Such a one is “My Fair Lady.” It never received the ballyhoo of “Cleopatra” nor the epic exploitation of “Gone With The Wind.” It doesn’t need either. Movie musicals have been on the downgrade for 15 years because they bomb abroad, and inasmuch as foreign boxoffice accounts for more than half film’s earnings, prudent producers shy aw r ay from them. But “My Fair Lady” promises to overcome the language barriers and musical tastes of Europeans, Asians and Africans. A Japanese version of

the stage play was an establish-

ed hit in Tokyo.

Like “Gone With The Wind,” “My Fair Lady” promises to become a screen classic—a movie you may never see on the

late, late, show.

For Reweavers Future Good HEMPSTEAD, N. Y. (UPI) —American smokers are burning holes in their clothes faster than people can be trained to reweave them. The national shortage of skilled reweavers was cited by Morton Mallin, founder and* director of the Eastern School of Reweaving in Hempstead.

He estimated that there are ( only about 2,000 qualified re- ■ weavers in the United States who make their services available to the public. Several hundred more are capable but make repairs only for friends | of relatives. Cigarette and cigar burns, plus moth damage, account for more than 60 per cent of the : work brought to reweavers. Mallin estimated the trade volume of reweaving done in the U.S. at about $20 million

a year.

The families of Mallin and his wife, Gloria, were reweavers for generations. She assists him in grading the work of students who require a great deal of practice.

“Theory is fine,” he ■aid, “but experience is more important.”
