HOLLYWOOD For a long time, I have wanted to meet Regis Toomey, the liv-ing legend of the TV Late Shows, and so, when I came to Hollywood this week, I determined to get In touch with him.

It turned out to be amaz-ingly easy. I simply called hit home, said I'd like to talk to him and he said fine, he had to run a few errands anyway the ne.xt day, so he'd just stop by my hotel and we could have lunch together.

The next day. there 1 was at the coffee shop, when that familiar figure walked Into view, in person. His hair Is

Wants More Benefits

Men who fought in Viet-nam before 1964 are ignored by the Administration pro-gram for expanded veterans' benefits, members of the House of Representatives were told by Congressman Seymour Halpern of Jamaica in a speech on the House floor.

Congressman Halpern, a member of the House Vet-erans Affairs Committee. In-troduced four bills to enact President Johnson's recom-i mendations and called fori non-partisan support.

He added, however, that he will soon Introduce to additional bills aiding per-sons who served before Aug. 5. 1964.

• little span* and snow white now, and the frames of his bifocals artfully con-ceal a hearing aid, but other-wise he looked and sounded Just i t I had remembered him from dozens of films.

• • • Toomey, I learned, has

made about 230 movies tn his almost 40 years as a motion picture actor. "My flnt film was 'AllW with Chester Morris, In 1928. I played a detectiive. Dannv McGann of Homicide, and I had a fine dying scene. It was so good that 1 got to he typed for a while aa an ac-tor who always got killed before the end of the movie.

"But I've played almost e v e r y t h i n g — policemen, judges, lawyers, monslgnors. methodlst ministers and In 'Guys and DoHV I even plaved a Salvation Army leader. I was a soda jerk in Frank Caprn's 'Meet John Doe," and they said I'd cet an Academy Award nomina-tion, hut my friend .Timmv. Gleason who also was in the picture got It instead. Remember him?"

Toomey Is a native of Pittsburgh, and Regis is his real name. "I'm a Roman CathoMc, and I was named after the Bishop of Pitts-burgh. If you know anybody nam^d Regis, sooner or later you'll find out he had a rela-tive who was Catholic and who lived in Pittsburgh."

TOOMEY HAD planned to be a lawyer, and was gradu-ated, from the University of Pittsburgh in 1921. "But

that was the bagdnnlng of the Out Aft. and I got in-volved In too many extra* curricular activities." He be-came a salesman for a steel company Instead but ha fought with his boat, and ha left the job. The owner of the company, who liked Toomey and knew he had tung in College theatrical^ told him he should try "the-show life." So Toomey, who had never considered him-self an actor, went to New York, partly because he had met a girl there he-wanted to know better.

"I got my first Job as un-derstudy to Dennis King in 'Rote Marie' and in 1924, Kathryn and I were mar-ried. We've been together ever since."

In 1927, he came out to California to introduce his wife to hit family, who had moved there, and toon after, he began his movie career. For a time, in the 1930s and '40s, Toomey was so well known that he rarely had to teat for a role. "I once heard there was a part open In a picture called "The Big Sleep' with Bogart and Bacall, so I asked Howard Hawks, the director, who knew me, if he could use me. He said, 'Look, It's a district attorney role. All you've got to remember Is that Bogart wears a blue suii with chalk stripes, so don't wear that. Now, get ready to work.'

'Today, i ts different. The young directors, except

those who worked with m* on television, don't know me that well. You know, there are a lot of young people now who come out here wtth new techniques, but they don't know that what they think Is new has been done before, years ago And now there's so much shock and tex In the movies Who needs this? I'm not a square, but I've seen all that. There's Just nothing new In It."

knew that a bar In Chicago had formed a Regis Toomey Fan Club. He trolled some-what quizzically and asked, "Oh, do they still have that' I haven't had anything to do with It, you know. Once at a New Year's Eva party, I was going to call them up to with them a Merry Christmas, but I never did."
