much, much more where it all came from. He is fullyaware that Sinatra isthe greatest single male drawingcard that is to be found in the entertainment business

today.At the same time, Sinatra is something phenome-

His lanl: shadow, now bulging a hit at thewaist, falls across the world of show business. Thepsychological drives that usually send a periornierinto the business are generally quieted after securityand recognition have been acliieved.

Sinatra&#39;s power is not merely per-sonal; it is also �scal. Because he isranked high among the top-drawing �lmattractions, he can demand a share i.n~the production of the �lm from all majorstudios that ask for his services-andpractically all of them are constantly ash- 1;ing for his services. �Frank could spend Ythe rest of his life making all the �lms�offered to him in a single month,� a�.friend of his has told me. He also can Hdemand the right of approval of the pro-duction siaii and oi his costars. Thismeans that he can, by grintacing. put the-kiss of death on an actor or actress hedoes not like-�or build up an in�atedreputation for one he does like.

an LP disk that docs not hit the 2lI.l.lIll-copy mark. A new Sinatra LP is all butautomatically played on the nation�s radiostations. Officials at Capitol let him pickhis own tunes and his own accompanists.They listen carefully-to his advice. too.�~They bow to his work schedule, which 1is irregular; if he decides to remrd at 1midnight. they pay the overtime chargeswithout protesL .

A word irorn Sinatra can boost the?progress of new singers or slow that of 1others. Similarly, Sinatra is powerful in�the selection of songs that the companyrecords, not only for his records but forthese made by others. He has interests. *in a couple of music-publishing compa- �tries. the names oi which change fromtime to time; the biggest was calledBarton. l-le can dictate to these compa-nies the songs he wishes to be plugged,by live performance on television andradio.

�A few months back there was a smallrevival of �Oh, Look at Me Now,� a song�Frank used to sing with Tommy Dorsey,� 92a publisher told me. �l oouldn�t under-�stand why. Then l learned that Frank1~wanted it brought back. He-�d called the�company that handled it and o�ered to-put his own plugging facilities behind it.Then he&#39;d called other singers and asked tthem to use it. Before long�ltingn! A

re-rival.", Sinatra&#39;s voice is powerful. as well.in the talent-agency business. There isevery indication that his oft-voiced de-termination to lornt a talent agency oi_lti.s own may become reality beforethis year is out. It is taken for grantedthat members oi his Clan will �ock into�any new organisation he may ionn orwill even follow him ii he decides to goto another organization. �Sure, I&#39;d gowhere Frank goes.� Dean Martin oncetold me, as though there were no questionin his mind. And it is conceivable thatothers in show business would followalong, just to be sure oi being on the�winning team.

pounds of weight around when he wisheswas indicated by a situation that devel-oped when he held his Summit �tingat his favorite Miami Beach h thispast March. Sammy Davis. .lr., was un-der exclusive contract to another hotel;his contract stated he could not appear,even in an informal, impromptu way,anywhere else_in Miami Beach. Sinatramade a telephone call to the managerholding the contract. �When Frank wantssomething, he drips charm,� a friendsays. He wanted Davis. Before the man-ager could object, Sinatra had proposeda solution, :&#39;Ho,w about_ making an ex-ception?� said. �We"won�i advertisehim; as far as the general public knows,you�l.l still have him exclusively.� Andhe promised to make it seem that Davishad just dropped in to see his pals. Thenhe promised a favor to the manager; thelatter agreed; Sammy Davis, ]r., appeared.

What all of this means to you is thatFrancis Albert Sinatra exercises a mostpowerful control over much of what youenjoy or don&#39;t enjoy! in films, on tele-vision, on records, on the radio, in night-clubs-�indeed, in every medium of en-tertainment except newspapers and snag-azines. To Sinatra&#39;s apparently intensedisgust, there is very little he can doabout controlling the press. Nevertheless,he tries. When any clusrly independentwriter is about to do a story on him, hethrows a hlsnket of silence over all hiscompanions. Sometimes he threatens law-suits. Occasionally he actually does suewhen a published article displeases him.

Sinatra&#39;s influence as a pace setter isunparalleled in Hollywood. The infor-mality of many recent TV eatravaganzas shows in which a couple of singers sim-ply stand around and sing snatches oftunes! is an attempt to copy the success-ful shows Sinatra has done.

Sinatra also has tremendous influenceon the changing styles oi music. it usedto be that most singers sang ballads withstrings or soft reeds as a background.Sinatra has always liked to sing with astrong beat. ln recent years he has beenmaking more and more records withNelson Riddle. an arranger known forhis use of dynamics and for his contrastsin brass and strings. Many other sing-ers are hiring Riddle-oriented arrangersand leaders.

FULLY aware of all these facts, Si-natra.still does not seem to live com-

fortably with them.__He continues to as-sert himself as though he were climbingand not yet on the top.

The root of Sinatra�s lK&#39;ltavi0r��whicll.because he is both powerful and seem-ingly inaatiablt�.&#39;could conceivably deter-mine the quality of the entertainmentyou see and hear�rnay lie in his chillingawareness that if he has not yet begunto slip he ultimately will. All performersfall out of favor rventttally to some dc-grec: this is as sure as the rhangr ofs-ear-ons in naturi-. Yet Sinatra evidentlyrrfus-es to recognise inevitability: he is. heseems hound In proclaim osrr and over.the inlles-trurtihlc exception. lfis attitudeM.��tt|- to he that failure must not happento him. lle will light it off by sheer power.tan

Failure is only for those he calls the�clydes��-the �squares,� the inepts, thoseon whom fortune has not smiled.

In 1951 and 1952 Sinatra himself atpcared to have reached the end of one_of the most fantastic ropes ever wovenby pure appeal to the ticket-buying pub-lic. From 1945 on he had been earningover a million dollars a year; highbrowmagazines were printing articles abouthis unprecedented hold on not only theswooning teen-agers hut also their par-ents and even their grandparents. Hisrise_had made those of Rudyvallec andBing Crosby seem like ripples beside thetidal wave of his personal popularity. -

ALL at once, Sinatra was in trouble.Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, his home film

studio, was disturbed by his habit of pro-ducing unfavorable headlines; his rec-ords were not selling as well as they hadbeen; even in nightclubs he was notdrawing as he once had. He seemed tobe washed up. He was broke, and he wasborrowing from friends. His second mar-riage, to Ava Gardner, was falling apart.He was as low as a man of his formereminence could get. Then he pulled him-self o� the floor.

Buddy Adler, now production chief atTwentieth Century-Fox, was a ColumbiaPictures producer under the bombasticand autocratic Harry Cohn. Sinatra wentto Adler and odered to play Maggie inFrom Here to Eternity for nothing. Orhis agents made the offer; there are asmany versions of this story as there arepeople to tell it.! Adler tested him re-luctantly. Sinatra �nally got the partand we given eight thousand dollars lothis services�plus, eventually, an Acad-emy Award; plus, almost _at once, aneven greater measure of esteem than hehad had before. Hit �lms followed. oneafter another. He was red-hot again.

Today Sinatra refuses to admit he wasever down and close to being out. �Whatdo they mean, I was �nished?� he onceshouted, a friend reports. "I was neverfinished!�

�You were close. Frank.� the friendsaid piacatingly nearly all Sinatraisfriends are accustomed to speaking tohim in soothing tonesl.

�I was never �nished!� he yelled. ao-cording to this friend. �l showed them,didn&#39;t I?�

There is no denying it. But somewhere,under the red-faced belligerence, theremay be a small, pulsating vein of .un-certainty.

Of late Sinatra has been getting enoughbad reviews to unsettle the average per-former. Few critics saw anything validin his performance in Some Come Raul-ning: the picture was received almostas badly as latnes .lones&#39;a original bookhad been. ln the London Daily Express.rrititf-pianist Robin Douglas-llome wroteof Sinatra�: last long-playing record:llfe is notl �up to brilliant standard. . . .The ro||ndne.-&#39;-I of his voire of the earlydays serm- to haw given way recentlylo a harsher, ru.1r-er tone that gels morepronounverl with each new record. = . ."John Crosby, the television and radio en].umnist. recently said. �l hate always

a Jewish musician, Sinatra cracked himwith a bottle, and when a cou"&#39;errnanin a diner refused to serve tgro,Sinatra slugged him. �Nothing bl ..gs outFrank&#39;s temper as quickly as bigotry,�his press agent, Warren Cowan, says.

In view of this, some recent develop-ments are incomprehensible. For example,what I heard during a performance of Si-natra&#39;s Summit Meeting in Miami Beachin March made me wonder ii my earswere working properly. Not only antiraceand antircligion jokes but also open pro-fanity cascaded from the stage.

SINATRA demands�and gets-�-strictohedience from those around him.

While he was working in Lss Vegas, hedecreed that none of his gang should settoot inside a certain club; nobody wouldhave considered defying him. He insistson absolute loyalty, even to the pointthat none oi his cronies may say any-thing remotely critical oi him. For ex-ample, in the winter of 1959, SammyDavis, .lr., in an interview conducted byJack Eigen, a disk jockey in Chicago,said, �Talent is not an excuse for badmanners. l love Frank, but there aremany things he does that there is no ex-cuse for. . . ."~Word at once came to himthat Sinatra was furious. Sinatra is saidto have got a tape of the program. Hetook action promptly. He had previouslyhad the screenplay of Never So Few re-written so that there would be u part forDavis. He ordered lite Negro part writtenout and hired actor Steve McQueen in-stead. Earl Wilma, the Broadway re-porter, later said, �Twas reported thatSammy was ready to hurl himself pros-trate on the stage to ask Frank&#39;s forgive-ness.� Later Sinatra did relent, and sincethen Davis has seemed determined neverto fall from favor again, using only themost glowing terms when he speaks ofthe Leader.

On March 25, 1959, while Davis wasappearing at the Copacabana in Man-hattan. l interviewed him in his suite inthe Hotel New Yorker. He �dgeted con-stantiy, moving irom chair to chair, inap-ing to the huge sofa and squatting thereon his haunches; he was like an excitablenuthatch. When I asked Davis aboutSinatra&#39;s reactions to his Chicago corn-ments, he said he could not discuss theincident. Presently I asked him what itwas about Sinatra that caused him andother members of the Clan to he so,slavish in tlteir adoration. Davis lookedshocked. l&#39;le glanced over his shouldernervously. then said solemnly. �Why. be-cause Frank is a very. very. very greatman.� Dean Martin later echoed this tome in an interview. �That Frank�: thegreatest,� he slid. �A great. great man,that Frank.�

With his new great am-ress. Sinatrahas taken on the lush living ltaliita oithe wry. u&#39;r3&#39; rirh. llarry Ktlfltilz, thescreen writer and hunmrist. tnlrl of thetime he was a gm-st on a vat-ht Sinatrahaul rhartrr�l for I grtulp of friendsior a cruise down the Caiiinrnio coast.

itt itionte Carlo, columnist LeonardLyons once watched Sinatra place apacket of ten-thousand-franc notes ap-proximately two thousand dollars] onthe red, lose with one turn of the wheel.then take out another packet of bills ofthe same denomination, and another, andkeep playing until the place closed andhe was ahead by around three thousanddollars. He walked out jauntily, leadinghis entourage to a nightclub named theAll Baha. where he suddenly was movedto sing. The piano player did not suithim. He gave the man ten thousandfrancs to let his own accompanist takeover.

The Clan also tries to emulate Si-�-natra�a own peculiarspeech habits. All?-=¢_:secret societies have secret languages, butthe Clan&#39;a is so obscure that a lady &#39;1jo-�._l�~&#39;Ii-porter once complained, _after Sinatra _"-"had granted her a few minutes of &#39;=time, �For years I tried. to get an __�ext".l_tt_-_.,�7:l3-�I I�sive interview . . . and when I got one, <_ --;I couldn&#39;t understand a word he said.� &#39;_ . �

ONCE Sinatrh has put his stamp of ap-proval on a slang word; it is obliga-

tory for the members to use it on alloccasions. �Ring-a-ding" was ior a timethe number-one word.

A girl who especially pleases himis a �gasser,� and anything that is _fun_ .=or thrilling is a �gas.� The synonymalmost any word is �elyde,�inally bad an o�-color meaningshow folk, as in �Kick him in the clyde.&#39;_.f.92.�§&#39;;§Sinatra and his cronies now use it__for-f-fri-�Qnearly everything. �Hand me the elyde,�Y&#39;; E;-.;Siuatra might say, asking forthe telo---phone book in the unlikely event;be;Tf;;-ever looks up a number in the telephonehook! ; or, �Let&#39;s go to the clyde,� mean-_=:ing, �Let&#39;s go into the dining room� _ot&#39;___�d__"&#39;�Let&#39;s go to the party.�

Requests for interviews are turnedaside with the eaplanation Qt Sinatrais �away,� "sick," or �busy.� Whetherhe wishes to he or not, Sinatra has be-come the most feared man in Hollywood�Sinatra is a closed corporation in thistown,� a veteran Hollywood reporter toldme recently. �No one will talk aboutl&#39;|.im.. He&#39;s an untouchable.� &#39;

Sinatra takes nearly everything writtenabout him the wrong way, for some rea-son that is not entirely clear. When BillDavidson, one of the best of the "report-ers in depth,� wrote a three-part articleabout Sinatra for Look magazine, inwhich he indicated that the performer wasless than superhuman, Sinatra promptly�led suit for libel. Later this suit wasdropped, and another, claiming that themagazine had invaded Sinatra&#39;s privacy,was substituted. That suit is now await-ing trial in the Los Angeles courts.

When l began working on this article,l sent a telegram asking for interviewwith Sinatra to Warren Cowtrl, his pressagent. It was ne927Er&#39;92""s&#39;iivi:&#39;i&#39;�, but I wastold by Guy Mellwaézl, then an employeeof Cowan&#39;s,"&#39;My s oitgest recomenda-tinn to him will be that he see you. I can&#39;tpromise anything beyond that.�

vwhen I reached Miami Beach, Mell-waine stated, �rst, that Frank was �tootied up over the Albert Malta thing" hehad just hired Malta�, and the press washitting him hard! and, second, that hewas �too busy rehearsing his televisionshow� {the show, telecast in May, inwhich he welcomed hack Elvis Presleyto civilian life!. /3

At �rst I was convinced it Ill I joke-The trouble was, my rapidly bell-ill;heart didn&#39;t act as if it had been a ioke;nor did my shaking hands. It land to bea prank, I reasoned.

hoodlum companions. Whether he hasany such connections is di�cult to verify.However, the iact that Sinatra himself isonly 100 well aware that many people be-lieve _he has them is evinced by a line hepermits Joey Bishop to use in the SummitMlfel-"&#39;5 I611 �Later on,� says Bishop,�Sinatra will give a lecture on all thegood work the Maliia does."

Sinatra do-..s not depend m his eo-horts to be pugnacious in his behalf.He does considerable �ghting on his own,or he has in the past. In Monte Carloone night, he was approached by an Eng-lishmitn who once had insulted AvaGardner. The man put out his hand, try-ing to patch things up. -He was well over6&#39;4" and weighed at least 250 pounds.Sinatra stared at him oontemptuously.�Beat it, hum,� he said. Taken aback,the l.&#39;nan�wbo could have demolishedSinatra with one slap�-retreated, apolo-gizing. Another time, a man kept tryingto crash one of Sinatra&#39;s parties in PalmSprings. Later he disappeared, and afriend asked what had happened to him.�He became punched,� Sinatra said, witha wink.

Besides the actual physical combat,there also have been any number of ver-bal set-tos with directors, producers, andother actors. Sinatra walked off the setof C�rou-tel when it was on location inMaine because he disagreed with HenryEphron. the producer. On the Some CameRunning location in Indiana, M-G-M ex-ecutive producer Sol Siegel had to makepeace between Sinatra and Vineente Min-nelli, the director. The Guys nnd Dollsset was a far from happy one; Sinatraand Marlon Brando could notget alongtogether. -

WHEN Sinatra is working, either thingsgo his way or he automatically rebela

I-le sets his own hours, usually begin-ning work at ll AM. This invariablycosts a studio extra money, since over-time costs mount considerably when acompany has to be kept working untilseven or eight t&#39;.tt., as is often the casewith Sinatra&#39;s companies. Sinatra&#39;s rec-ords arc also made on his own personalschedule. He has been known to keepan orchestra waiting around a"studiountil close to midnight, when he feels1-elssed enough to sing at his best.

Sinatra claims he works as he doesbecause he knows exactly what is bestfor him. Directors who have worked withhim have been known to disagree. �llhe would just listen.� Stanley Kramer,the producer-director, once said, �hemight become the greatest actor in theworld." Sinatra will seldom listen. Hedictates not only to the director and pro-ducer, but even to minor participants.On many occasions be acts_also as anuno$cial casting director. Shirley Mac-Laine&#39;a rapid rise has not come aboutentirely as a result of her talent, whichis adequate. It is reasonable to assumethat Sinatra&#39;s interest in her and hisencouragement have been of great help.

Time and time again Sinatra has toldpeople that he hates being alone. Andit is a good possibility that his extraor-dinary work schedule is predicated on

Such behavior cou1d&#39;a&#39;ukff§_"geat that Sinatra&#39;-&#39;_1|".&#39;aIe�§&#39;§|woundedotionallyhe was very young and hiagfiinot been able to heal the_f§;"wounds with the salvematurity. Like his relations-~_with women, the saga oficrmative years hasset down so many tinJ_e�s_;l_&#39;.

~ that to repeat it except -_ =brie�y would only wastespace. He was born in Lbolten, New Jersey, "thc_-Q�-_&#39;only child of a mother whit�was a minor politician attii,&#39;g:�=�a father who was the set;-,&#39;_1_t_nndary character in tl_t_aI§-Jeonnuhial drama.

Indication that this haéi-� &#39; ;92&#39;ground may have left Si- &#39;natra emotionally torn edit

&#39;on of his &#39;

be found in recent accountswho was in Florida. Hereyes danced in anticipation.After she came from speaking to him onthe phone, she was radiantly happy. �Areyou going to marry him?� l asked bluntly.She gave me a mysterious smile andchanged the subject.

Later Louella Parsons broke the newsthat they were to be married. Some menclose to Sinatra have told me he was in-furiated; they say he blamed Miss But-alllor the report and icrthwith hrclte ed�their relationship. Others say she wastroubled by rumors she kept hearing ofSinatra&#39;s herculean interest in the oppo-site sex and decided that he could nottake Bogart&#39;s place as a father ior herchildren. Whatever happened, a monthor so later, when they brushed near eachnlher at a party. they scarcely spoke.The romance had lasted a year. RecentlyMiss Bacall told me that Sinatra stillcalls her occasionally. Others have re-ported that he calls his lirst wife, Nancy,134

told an audience which included Prin-cess Margaret!, �l did not come here toget married.� One friend of Lady Beatty&#39;srecently told me, �She felt he was toomercurial for marriage.� Sinatra&#39;s reasonfor the eventual breakup has not beenregistered for posterity.

Sinatra. as a lover. is a hit like anavalanche. Not long ago a starlet, whowan �gig aria-l fnr I In" fags» risaara fthnrniau_" &#39; §"- �U. _ ""&#39; "&#39; &#39; _��� 92 "�"""I&#39;setting some sort of tenure record!, de-scribed his courtship. �First. there werethe incessant calls,� the said. �Funnycalls�joky, kookie calls. You know,Frank is a real wit.� Uniortunately, ahecould not remember anything iunny hehad said to her.! "Then there were allthe ilowers and champagne and presentsby the doeen. And then, when he �nallygot back to town he&#39;d been awltlt therewere the nights at his favorite restau-rants.� She stopped. f prodded her to

raphera not strongly ind�ii-_,_enced by him, his clique or his agents.�Once Sinatra told a reporter that hegone to see a psychiatrist for a time _b§tt .then he had given it up; he had iound__;f_out �what he wanted to know,� he"aait_i.{�

The resulting combination&#39;of&#39;hishavioral tendencies and of his vaat&#39;"a&#39;n"d;&#39;-_-growing personal power should &#39;cause of concern to all who watch andlillpn In nnnullf ltbnrarfil I-nil� llarl Gail;&#39;�"""&#39;� �&#39; I"&#39;I&#39; &#39;-� �"""�""| �-"�" &#39;��&#39;�" ""&#39;�"_vision shows, movies, and nightcluh _act&#39;a..It would he disturbing indeed even ifT_this enormous power were in the heat"of a completely stable and predictahhuman being.

The �ght took place at the=Moulrn -Rouge following-11� ;&#39;$100-a-plate charity party for�jSHARE, at which Sinatraearlier became involved in anargument with actor JohnWayne. r - -

Moran&#39;s testimony was sup- 5ported by three "other Moulin;Rouge parl-zingiot� attendants.� ;All stated that Sinatra had�called down another at-;tendant and shook anotherattendant by the lapels, be-yfore turning on&#39;Moran. i

The three were Michael J.Hart, night parking lot man-.ager, Lex Winter, and BudHakim.
