Real Beauty
Or Ability
Handicap?
BY JOHN TODD

HOLLYWOOD, May Tt was
another Hollywood paradox that
natural beauty-the kind that
needs no assistance from the
makeup artiSt--almost became a
handicap 10 Barbara Britton.
Just cast in one OF the feminine
leads Of Cecil b. De Miles story
of DR.. WasSell,' the former Long
Beach, Cal, high school girl can
congratulate herself today on a
narrow escape from being typed
permanently as too decorative to
have any talent.
Paramount signed her on the
strength of her beauty alone, after
seeing a newspaper picture of her
riding on the Long Beach float in
the Pasadena Tournament of Roses
Parade. De Mile let her waltz in
front Of the camera once IN the
ballroom scene Of Reap the Wild
Wind, shedid walkon in "Louisi-
ana Purchase, and then was given
lngenue roles in half a dozen minor
pictures. She was firmly pigeon
holed in the collective mind of the
casting department as strictly a
sweet young thing.
Ironically, IL was Hollywood S
own type casting system that
got Barbara her big chance.
A sweet young thing was Just
what director Mark Andric h
needed for strong role in $50
Proudly We Hail" starring Claud-
Iette Colbert, Paulette Goddard
and Veronica Lake. But the sweet
young thing had 10 know how to
act. Barbara got the part.
Speaking Of the natural, director
Henry King tried 10 tire Jennifer
Jones on the set of The Song of
Bernadette at Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox and succeeded in firing
only himself.
1t was a scene in which Jennifer.
as Bernadette, comes up a steep
hill TO her home after a day OF
gathering wood in a forest. Direc-
tor King wanted Jennifer to show
just the right shade of fatigue. He
didn't want her TO stumble or Il
overdramatiZe her walk. but
merely 10 show that she was tired
by faint reluctance in lifting her
feet.
Pretending TO be rehearsing. nc
had her climb the hill over ano
over again, figuring that the ma.
tural fatigue this would engender
would be more nearly what he
wanted than anything any actress
would simulate. Jennifer made the
trip six times without showing tho
least sign Of distress.
With a very false smile, King
said:
"Jennifer, I hope we're not
firing you out too much. But we
must get this just right"
"Oh, no." replied Jennifer
/ quickly. that's entirely all
right. Every Sunday 1 walk at
least Is miles in the hills. / can
do this all day"
/ When last seen, King was dowr
at the bottom Of the street ex
planning 10 Jennifer just what il
was he wanted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12- (R -
Prospects of increased gasoline
quotas for civilian use early in
1914 are extremely thin, the Pc
troleum Administrator for War
said today.
In fact, PAW added unforeseen
military requirements might neces-
state regional reductions in pres

of gasoline, particularly high &C.

during 1914 in both the Atlantic and
Pacific war theaters ~
Quotas are entirely dependent
on war needs PAW declared. and
a sudden acceleration of activity
in any fighting zone might re-
ouire quota reductions in the sup
