DOROTHY KILGALLEN

William Holden's newest film, "The Counterfeit Traitor," set a house record in the DeMille theater in its first week, and well may become bigger than the smash box office giant, "Psycho." The management is kept busy returning money to customers who buy tickets but can't get in. . . .

ANN MARSTERS

Nearly every incident in the picture actually happened to Eric Erickson, American born Swede who was an espionage agent for the Allies during the war . . . Erickson himself, recently in town to help promote the picture, is a tall, lean man with a ruddy complexion, red hair, and a hint of a Texas accent. He once lived in Texas . . . He retired from the oil business several years ago and now divides his time between the French Riviera and his home in Stockholm. He said, "I do nothing--and I do it very well."
