PETER TORK’s fabulous new house in Studio City has eight bathrooms (not to mention a gigantic swimming pool)—so that means everybody who lives at PETER’s house is going to be very, very CLEAN! . . . DAVY JONES, DAVID PEARL, KEITH ALLISON, DAVID’s buddy NEKO the artist and (sometimes) MICKY DOLENZ play softball every Sunday afternoon in Balboa Park (just outside of Hollywood) or on the various sandlots around Northridge . . . Wild In The Streets is really bringing some rich rewards to its performers. Aside from everything else groovy that’s happening, CHRIS JONES has just signed a starring five-picture deal with Columbia; and LARRY BISHOP (no, he doesn’t really have a hook-hand—that was part of the make-up for his role in Wild) has signed a five-year multiple picture contract with American International. LARRY’s next flick will be called Inferno Road . . . AI also grabbed adorable TOM NARDINI when his TV show went off. You’ll be seeing TOM soon in The Young Animals . . .

GLEN CAMPBELL, who is co-starring in the movie True Grit, is about to become a proud father for the second time! His wife is named BILLIE . . . MICHAEL VINCENT is dynamite—and he certainly deserves more acting-wise than a non-starring ten-minute seg each Saturday morning at 10:30 A.M. on The Banana Splits Adventure Hour on CBS-TV! Don’t you agree?? . . . GENE CLARK (formerly of the Byrds) and DOUG DILLARD (formerly of the DILLARDS) have signed to record with A&M . . .
