MAN ON THE COVER: JOE LEITEL (See photo spread and story in middle pages of book pp 16 & 17)

MAN ON THE BACK COVER: RICHARD HARRISON 20 6 185 lbs from Salt Lake City Utah. He feels he can thank the Mormon church for his background in both acting and physical culture training because the church he attended had a gym and the Bishops and Elders encouraged his interest. He, Bill Melby, Mike Sills, and other weight trainers often went to different church branches to encourage physical culture in-

terest.

Active Motion Picture and television work, he has recently finished a series called "West Point" for Ziv Productions, "Green Grow the Lillacs" and is currently working on a science fiction film. Unhappily, Richard has listened to the agents and producers who have suggested that he reduce his weight down, drop off muscle size, so that he can fit many of the roles offered. The great athlete Steve Reeves followed this same advice and apparently it has not helped his career. At one time six months ago, Richard weighed 217 and while we are not

fond of overly bulked muscle men, on Richard it looked good and natural. We say to Hollywood to bring up its roles to fit outstanding people like Richard, not ask them to bring themselves down. If the average man would be offended by being brought face to face with what a miserable example of humanity he is--let it happen--perhaps he will be encouraged to do something to improve himself.

AMG has taken several hundred photos of Richard, plans more. They offer Catalog X813, 15 pages (240 stamp size photos) $1.50. Set of 6 stereo realist size color slides $3.50. Movie footage has been done on Dick and will be available later this year from AMG. Fans may obtain directly from Dick Harrison po box 46723 Los Angeles 46 Calif. a set of 12 4x5 photos, autographed on request. Dick will include a little note and will be glad to answer any reasonable question he can (but please dont ask more than 3 with one order). AMG plans to do some physique movies with Dick later on and would appreciate your ideas on good plots. These will be silent, approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Since he has an ideal speaking voice, we are sorry the movies cannot be in sound, but surveys have shown that a small percentage of movie collectors have sound equipment, and a picture planned with sound definitely suffers when the sound is omitted.

JOHN NARKIS JOLCIN as he appeared after eight months in the United States. Age 22, 5'10, 170, waist 30, chest 40 relaxed. One notices à definite sign of maturing in John in comparison to the Scott photo of him across the page. John tells us that when the earlier pictures were mode, he wasnt living right at all, travelling a great deal, not always eating enough and often not getting enough sleep. Apparently he thrived on negelect.

The background picture (the Tivoli fountain) was shot by John while he was living in Rome.

fers 6 Stereo Realist slides of John $3.50, and also

JOHN NARKIS JOLCIN was sunning himself in London's beautiful Hyde Park by the Serpentine when he met the handsome young photographer Tom who does the beautiful photos for SCOTT PHOTOS 171 Holland Road, London W14 England.

While John had done considerable fashion o modelling in London, he did not consider himself qualified to be a physique model, but when Tom insisted he gave in. The picture reproduced here has already appeared in magazines all over Europe and the USA, and Tom's many other fine pictures have made the young traveler famous. Born March 11, 1935 in Tel Aviv Israel, his family moved to Australia when he was 15 and he now makes his home

in Sydney. Having travelled much of the world he fells he would like to make his home in Hollywood, but first he will go to South Africa and a few other places to be certain of what he really wants.
