TO PRESERVE foods prop
crly keep the 1neat and dairy
products in the coolest part of

Berries should be removed

Meat should be unwrapped, as
the wrapping heightens the

Montgomery as cowboy. He
was tried out in 4 suave light

has been kept in non-western

HOLLYWOOD When the
movie-makers try to make
movie about the movies, it's us
ually q flop. ~
It seems the customers don't
like to see their dream-world
kidded. But there's sequence
in 1.-The wboy and the
Blonde" that should get outlaws
in Hollywood, anyway, because
the colony will recognize all the
stellar impefsonatiops.
It's q series of screen tests
made Of q cowboy called Lark
(played by George Montgomery,
a newcomer) for mythical Con-
solidated Studios. Having been
discovered in q rodeo, Lark is
being costomed and filmed in
various ways to determine his
screen type.
so first they test him for
OEAWlHB-IOOIn StuAi, III whisc VIC
and tails. In the best George
Brent-Melvyn Douglas tradition,
he desperately tells the other
mans wife, Darling, we can't
90 on this way!"
Then, generously matted with
a chest wig, draped in a sarong
and barefoot, Lark plays a scene
reminiscent of "Typhoon" or
Hurricane. "Your eyes are
pools of shining blue, Marim-
ba," he mutters, tonelessly. II
could swim in them forever"
This recalls q horrible exper-
fence Of Clark Gable during hie
first tryout at Metro. Similarly
unclad, but with brown body
makeup and q red flower in his
hair, he was led across the lot
to the office of Irving Thalberg,
who exploded.
