Broken Leg Unwilling
Held for June Havoc
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
When June Havoc's broken leg
went into a plaster cast there was
general mourning among the clini-
cal admirers of such feminine at
fractions.
Therefore, when the cast was re-
moved last Monday, fitting cere-
monies seemed in order. DR.. H. A.
Coveler, physician to the famous Of
Broadway, cut away the physically
protective, but visually offending
covering before a gathering of just
few of June's most intimate
friends.
The doings took place in the lavish
26-room mansion of June's sister,
GYPSY Rose Lee. June sat down
next to a pool into which a fountain
splashed, looked across the patio to
where the few friends were crowded
four deep around a bar and table of
horS d'oeuvres and bore up bravely.
The occasion also marked June's
start for Hollywood, where she will
star in the new film, "Brewster's
Millions" Before the broken leg
immobilized her she was a bright

What a Woman Needs
By Harold Hefernan.

King" Deanna Durbin. of neces-
sity = lily-white heroine in her
earlier teen age pictures, is now
being introduced through "Christ-
mas Holiday" as q real grownup.
She plays woman Of considerable
interest II not of considerable moral
soundness and social standing. And
box ONCE reports indicate 1t will
be the most successful Durbin pic
ture to date.
The simple fact is, according to
the producers, and their cash re-
turns, that there Is no drama, often
little romance. In a 100 per cent
noble existence. Mary Pickford
reigned as the spiritual, spotless,
golden-haired Blograph girl In those
toddling early days of films because
motion pictures themselves were
then the novelty, and their subject
matter was Of mild concern. But
soon the excitement OF just seeing
fiickers on screen wore OF and
competition made the story itself
of first importance. Early screen
stars soon found out that 1t paid
of to get meaty role, and such
sirens as Theda Bara came sud-
denly to the fore.
Hayward the Fiery Type.
Susan Hayward, one of the most
fiery actresses in Hollywood, fought
bitterly with Paramount for sew
eral years and was often under sus-
pension because she refused to play
spOtless characters. She wanted to
be mean, all the way, and finally got
her chance when Columbia bor-
rowed her for Adam Had Four
Sons" Herein she actually stole
the show from Ingrid Bergman
and came into her own as a sinister
heroine.
or course. the mere mention of
Vivien Leigh's Scarlet OHara in
Gone With the Wind" should be
proof enough of the superiority of
bad girls over good ones in stacking
up fan mail. Mostly through Scar
let's perfldy, this film has rolled up
"a 3O-mlllion-dollar gross.
There are exceptions to prove this
general rule, of course, the most
recent being "The Song of Berna-
dette," which brought an Academy
Award to the then unknown Jenni-
fer Jones. But even Jennifer is
now trying to persuade David Selz-
nick to give her siren part.
