ORS are nerv-
tous, very nervous. Between
.parts, if they spend a lot of
(time around the house, they'
;usually drive their wives to the
.brink of madness, not }mowing
what to do with their -time,
convinced they will probably
;never work again.
James Daly used to be nerv-
ous`""~4~'3'1~`ot`any more. He's
reasonably conteYated puttering.
.about his old, remodeled farm
house in Suffern, N. Y., grow-
ing his roses, breeding his,
sheep and, now that it's -close
to summer, taking his, 40 laps

pool. He is iry fact, so coif
tented, it's 'lmost a :. danger-
sous content and the explana=
;tion is simple-money..
For the past six years, Daly
`has been moonlighting in a
very lucrative way. He's the
commercial spokesman for a
cigarette company, which adds
up to about. 30 :days work a
year, a lot of dough, and gives
him the privilege of taking only
acting jobs which please him.
Few actors in any community
can make that claim.
Daly Will be seen on teIevi-
sion tomorrow in a drama
which he considers worthy of
people's time. "Give Us Barab-
bas," the original religious.
