He Had the Chance
To Be Villainous,
But Muffed 1t

Wide World News. HOLLYWOOD.
By now, it's practically automatic
that most of the screens meanest
villains are just home bodies at
heart.
After q day Of cutting out hearts
and breaking bodies on the rack
for the movies, they like to go out
to their suburban estates and plant
larkspur and petunias, or even
periwinkles.
Most of them are just like Albert
Decker. He says he'd like to be
able to refute the tradition, but that
just when he begins to concentrate
on the idea Of mauling men before
the camera, his mind begins to
wander to. the problem of how to
install electrical heating equipment
in his chicken coop to keep his buff
Orpingtons warm in winter.
Its strange says Dekker,. "but
there actually are few out-and- out
villains on the screen these days.
Beery established the vogue of mix
ing comedy with villainy. Bogart is
killer in one picture and q Galahad
IN the next. Carradine goes soft and
sympathetic about every sixth or
seventh role.

thoroughly despicable rat who won't

In his very first picture, Decker
was strictly a heavy heavy" Since
then, however, many of his roles
start out as q heavy, but he usually
winds up meeting hero's death IN
