...rummy, as played in Hollywood, is not always a gentleman's game. Even so, the games at the Friars' Club over a ten-month period during 1962 and 1963 were something out of the ordinary. Camera Industrialist Theodore Brislcin, for example, lost $220,000, Shoe Millionaire Harry Karl dropped $80,-000, and such cool hands as Phil Silvers, Zeppo Marx and Tony Martin lost heavily. An investigation by the FBI followed, and last week five players in the games (two real estate developers, an art collector, an investor and a professional card shark) were found guilty...

Died. Franchot Tone, 63, longtime movie star whose off-camera tiffs sometimes overshadowed his considerable acting ability; of lung cancer; in Manhattan. Suave son of a wealthy industrialist, Tone moved quickly from lead roles on Broadway to Hollywood, where he made 53 films, including Mutiny on the Bounty and Advise and Consent. His personal life was littered with four broken marriages and several fights, one of which-against Bit Actor Tom Neal over the affections of Tone's third wife, Barbara Payton, in 1951 -left him with a battered face that required plastic surgery...
