Telephone 836-6140 It's the perfect answer to . . . Where shall we eat ? ALBERT SALMI (Victor Franz). After serving in the Army, Mr. Salmi studied acting at the Dramatic Work• shop and later at the American Theatre Wing. His first stage appearance, one of many off-Broadway, came in "The Scarecrow" at the Theatre de Lys. In 1951 he joined the Actors' Studio, whose production of "End as a Man" cast him as Roger Gatt, a role which brought him critical praise. From there, Mr. Salmi went on to appear in "The Rainmaker," his first Broadway play, followed by William Inge's "Bus Stop," the career• launching play which brought him additional critical acclaim and a Page One Award for his portrayal of Bo Decker, the young cowboy. Then he appeared in "The Good Woman of Setzuan," "Howie" in the title role and, lastly, "Once There Was a Russian." In 1959, Mr. Salmi settled in California where he has appeared in countless films. Among his favourites are those in which such great directors as John Huston, Elia Kazan and Richard Brooks had a hand, including "The Unforgiven," "Wild River" and "The Brothers Karamazov." "The Price" marked his return •to his native New York after a nine year absence in films. Despite his busy schedule, he finds time to play a 'good' game of tennis. Mr. Salmi and his wife, Roberta, have two daughters, Lizanne and Jenny.

BETH HARRIS (Esther Franz) was born in Port Talbot. South Wales, and before going to India lived in Llan• doevery and Billericay. She spent five years in India, going to a variety of schools and living in several different towns-Madras, Paona, Cochin, Calcutta and so on. After returning to England and attending the Lowther College near Rhyl, Beth Harris went to train at the Royal Academy of Music, where she obtained a teaching diploma. She then taught for a year before doing a summer season at Colwyn Bay. Immediately after this she went to the Newcastle Playhouse, and then went on to the Theatre Royal, York, and the Theatre Royal, Northampton. In 1965 Miss Harris spent a season with the English Theatre Company of Norway, performing in Oslo, and returned to England to work at the Theatre Royal, York, again. She has appeared in several television productions, including "Hugh and I", "Lorna Doane" and "No Hiding Place"; and she is a familiar voice on radio. Miss Harris is married to actor Kenneth Gilbert, has a small daughter Nicola, and Jives in South London. The new Victoria Sporting Club GAMING ROOMS & RESTAURANT l I

SHEPPERD STRUDWICK (Walter Franz) recently appeared in New York as the Cardinal Inquisitor in the Lincoln Centre "Galileo," the Duke in the Shakespeare Festival's "Measure for Measure," and the Archbishop in "The Devils." Before that he spent two years starring as George in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," first in the Broadway matinee company, then in the evening, and finally on the record-breaking national tour. A graduate with honours of the University of North Carolina, his first Broadway lead was in Maxwell An• derson's "Both Your Houses." It was followed with "Biography," "End of Summer," "As You Like It," "Christopher Blake," "Affairs of State," "The Doctor's Dilemma," and others, including winners of two Pulit• zer Prizes, two Drama Critics' Awards, and two Academy Awards. He starred as J.B., in "JB" on its national tour, Pastor Manders in "Ghosts," Trigorin in "The Sea Gull" and Abraham Lincoln in "The Last Days of Lincoln." Some of his fifty movie roles are the friendly priest in \ "Joan of Arc," the boy's father in "The Red Pony," the presidential candidate in "Remember the Day," Willie l Stark's assassin in "All the King's Men," and Elizabeth Taylor's father in "A Place in the Sun." Countless TV appearances include Jim Matthews in "Another World" and Lycon, Socrates' nemesis, in "Barefoot in Athens." He spent three years as a Naval Officer in World War II. He is married to actress Margaret Fairchild. Last summer he made his musical debut as Nat Miller in "Take Me Along," singing and dancing and co-starring with Arthur Godfrey and Vivian Blaine. His last film was "The Slaves" with Ossie Davis.

HAROLD GARY (Gregory Solomon) began his theatri• cal career with the original Provincetown Players, the group which introduced the works of Eugene O'Neill. In• dicative of his versatility and the various byways he has travelled as an entertainer is the wild leap from Eugene O'Neill to Mae West: Mr. Gary was in the original production of that famous lady's "Diamond Lil." Con• J tinuing as a comedian, he was partner to Willie Howard for three years, and the originator of "double talk." which he first used as the featured funnyman in "Crazy with the Heat." His credits in over forty Broadway productions encompass such disparate roles as King Saul in Ben Hecht's "A Flag Is Born" with Paul Muni and Marlon Brando; Nathan Detroit in "Guys and Dolls"; Ali Hakim in "Oklahoma!"; Officer Klein in "Arsenic and Old Lace"; Harry Kay in "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?"; and Harry Brock in "Born Yes• terday." Mr. Gary served for four years in World War TT and after combat duty was in charge of the Empire Theatre in Paris, where he wrote, directed and acted in GI shows. This earned him two decorations and a presidential citation. A veteran of television, he has been featured on some 300-plus video productions, and was starred as Detective Rand on the series "Captured." Tn recent years, Mr. Gary has kept very busy with impor• tant roles on Broadway and across the United States, including productions of "Let It Ride," "The Counting House," "Arturo Ui," "A Thousand Clowns," "Enter Laughing" and "Ilya Darling." Mr. Gary was the reci• pient of the Outer Circle Award and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, as the best actor for hi performance as Gregory Solomon in the Broadwa production of "The Price."

After his graduation from the University of Michi• gan, where he studied playwriting, he returned to New York, working in the Federal Theatre Project and writing radio plays for various programmes. He was engaged by a Hollywood studio to tour Army camps collecting background material for a film of Ernie Pyle's "Story of G I Joe." Out of this work he compiled a diary report which he published under the title "Situation Normal" in l 944. "Focus," a novel on the subject of anti• semitism, was published with great success in 1945. Mr. Miller's first Broadway production occurred in 1941 when "The Man Who Had All the Luck," ironically, played only four performances. In 1947 "All My Sons" won the New York Drama Critics' Award and the 'Tony' and Donaldson Awards. In 1949 "Death of a Salesman" opened on Broadway and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, as well as a Critics' Circle Award. In 1950 Mr. Miller adapted Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People" for Broadway and in 1953 "The Crucible" was presented, winning him another 'Tony' Award. "A Memory of Two Mondays" and "A View from the Bridge" were two one-act plays produced as a double bill under the latter title on Broadway in 1955. His plays "After the Fall" and "Incident at Vichy" were written for the Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Centre and were presented at the ANTA-Washington Square Theatre by Robert White• head and Elia Kazan during their administration of the Repertory Theatre. Throughout his productive and suc• cessful career as a playwright, Miller has continued to write short stories, the best of which have been published by Viking Press under the title "I Don't Need You Any Mor e." The title story and another in the volume, "Mont Sant'Angelo," are both 0. Henry Award winners. Also included is a hitherto unpublished work entitled "Fitter's Night," set in the Brooklyn Navy Yard where Miller worked during World War II. His story "Search for a Future" is included in the new anthology, "Best American Short Stories." "All My Sons," "Death of a Salesman," and "The Crucible" have all been adapted to the screen and "The Misfits," developed as an original film script from a Miller short story, was done as a major film production in 1961. Mr. Miller lives in Connecticut with his wife, the internationally known photographer, Inge Morath, and his youngest daughter, Rebecca. BORIS ARONSON (Scene and Costume Designer) was born in Kiev, Russia and studied art in Moscow, Berlin and Paris before going to the United States in 1923. His paintings and sculptures have been widely exhibited in leading art galleries. He has designed nearly a hundred productions for stage and ballet, including "Coriolanus" at Stratford-upon-Avon, "Mourning Becomes Electra" for the Metropolitan Opera and the original productions of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" and "A View from the Bridge," "J.B.," "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Fiddler on the Roof," "The Rose Tattoo." and "Cabaret," the latter two winning for him the Tony' Award.

JOE DA VJ~, London born, is a lighting designer with a vast experience in lighting as long as it is varied. He was once described in a magazine article as 'the Doyen of British lighting designers.' In 1961, in conjunction with other British theatre lighting designers, he helped to form the Society of British Theatre Lighting Designers and was elected its first Chairman. He has been respon• sible for lighting over 400 productions.

ALEXANDER H. COHEN divides his time between his offices, at the top of the Queen's Theatre in London and the top of the Shubert Theatre in New York, where he has presented Harold Pinter's 'The Homecoming," Peter Shaffer's "Black Comedy," Peter Ustinov's "The Unknown Soldier and His Wife," Ann Bancroft and Jason Robards in "The Devils," the Sherlock Holmes musical "Baker Street," John Gielgud and Vivien Leigh in "Ivanov," Ralph Richardson in "The School For Scandal," "Little Murders," "Beyond The Fringe," Richard Burton's "Hamlet" and John Gielgud's "Ages of Man." He has also presented on Broadway Flanders and Swann, Nichols and May, Yves Montand, Victor Borge, Maurice Chevalier and Marlene Dietrich and a host of others. In London, Mr. Cohen has co-produced several plays with H. M. Tennent, Ltd., the most recent of which was Peter Ustinov's "Halfway Up The Tree," starring Robert Morley. "The Price" marks the second London production by Alexander H. Cohen Ltd., a company that includes Julie C. Daugherty and Anthony Chardet as directors. They are also represented in the West End by Neil Simon's "Plaza Suite" and "Mixed Doubles," an entertainment on marriage comprised of nine one act plays by authors Alan Ayckbourn, John Bowen, Lyndon Brook, David Campton, Michael Frayn, Alun Owen, Harold Pinter, James Saunders and Fay Weldon.
