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.

HAROLD GARY (Gregory Solomon) began his theatri• cal career with the original Provincetown Players, the group which introduced the works of Eugene O'Neill.

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."
