Halliday tossed his pencil onto a small

Grant Likes
Touch Roles

The tougher the character the
better I like it," insists Cary
Grant, who views with alarm the
constant effort on the part Of Hol-
lywood and OF film fans to turn
him into lust romantic leading
man." Grant has no desire to be
cast as modern Adonis.
In that respect, at least, he's
adamant. Otherwise, the film
capital knows him as pretty
swell guy who seldom raises his
voice in protest. Particular in
demanding roles which have the
breath of life to them, Grant has
recently been seen in such splendid
films as Holiday" "Gunga Din"
and "Only Angels Have Wings"
His current film, His Girl Fri
day." with Rosalind Russell CO.
starred, is currently to be seen at
the Rialto theater. In it, Grant
portrays a hard-boiled, reckless,
shameless and extremely charming
individual who stops at nothing to
achieve his ends. A part after his
own heart, the His Girl Friday"
role permits the star to portray
swashbuckling, hell-for-leather
character Of the type he prefers.
Ralph Bellamy is featured in the
film, as Cary's hapless rival for
Miss Russelrs hand.
Grant seldom utilizes the port
able dressing room which is al
ways awaiting his leisure moments
on the set. Instead, he mingles
with the company and crew. He
calls all of them by their first
names. He appears to take it all
casually and easily. So far as act
ing itself is concerned it's diff
ferent matter.
