Beauties
Seek Ugly
Film, Roles
BY BURDETTE JAY

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 15.-Time
was when any one of the many
Hollywood glamour girls would
raise her voice TO high heavens n
protest of a part which made her
villainess.
But now the belabored writers
at the studios can't provide enough
of these meanie parts to meet the
growing demands of film star
actresses to get their teeth into a
real, acting role.
In fact. the smarter girls of the
colony will tell you that nice,
mean. villainous role will likely
payroll in bigger pay checks and
greater public demand. Such
screen roles are now the most
coveted.
Film actresses have not forgot
ten the new impetus given the
career of Joan Crawford in her
role in M-G-Ms The Women"
At this particular time, a new
conner is daring her entire film
career on a sirenic role-one that
calls for her running three lives,
killing a gangster and, finally as
sop to the Hays office, death to
herself in dramatic finale.
