Gail Russell
Isn't as Shy
AS She Looks
By RosaliHd Shafsr.
HOLLYWOOD. I

k1OL11 WOOD.
Gail Russell has the reputation OF
being very shy. Her eyes, very blue,
are Swallowed In black lashes. Heavy
curling black hair sets on her fine
skin, Drowned by several years Of
CaAfornia sunshine. There's q tenn
pestuous, snloldering quality about
her, suggested by black straight
brows and slightly pouted lips. She
could pose for any legendary Irish
beauty.
! think Gail could be led. but I'd
hate to try to push her. She is so
dynamic that with her beauty she
seems natural for films,
Yet she has plenty Of twinkle.
Her sense of humor has helped her
through the difficulties of a career
IN which she was put forward rapid
lily to important roles. She was
signed without previous experience
or training. After debut in a
Henry Aldrich film, she went into
Lady In the Dark" as the pretty
high school rival of Ginger Rogers.
Then Buddy De Sylvia, the pro-
Queer, told her that If she could get
an acceptable English accent in "A
hours. she could have the lead with
Ray INLAND in THE UNLIMITED"
She and the English coach looked
at "Pygmalion" and The Young
Mr.. Pitt" in the projection room,
then went home to Calls apartment
to spend the night getting the ac-
cent, to be ready for the morning
test. Il should mention here that
when the coach had a baby in the
middle Of the fllmmaking, Gail
promptly dubbed it "the unlimited. y
Next morning Gail made the test.
Too English" said De sylvia. She
got the part, however, was told to
pack and leave for Santa Barbara
the same night. Then, says Gail, the
real work began.
Gail says it's been worth it. She's
now playing opposite Alan Laid, in
Salty O'Rourke."
When Gail was a youngSter in
Chicago. she says, she used to roller
skate to the Picadilly Theater. eye
her way in past a susceptible door
man because she hadn't money for
admission, and watch Ginger Rogers
and Fred Astaire in those early films
like Flying Down to Rio" and 1.-THE
Gay Divorcee," and after three
shows come out dancing the steps
the whole way home. When she got
the role with Ginger the two became
great friends. Ginger advised her
about her work and her private af-
fairs. Don't try to mix marriage
and a career" Ginger counseled
I've tried it and l know"
Then one morning, Gail read OF
Ginger's marriage to Jack Briggs
How Gomez" Gail asked. We'll, this
case was an exception" said Ginger
Although her parents live in Los
Angeles, Gail has a tiny apartment
in Beverly Hills where she stays
when she's working on a picture.
"A family doesn't understand how
hard it Is to concentrate" Gail ex-
plains.

Have you seen Lauren Bacall in

weeks ago, the audience nearly tore
the theater down and cynical, tired
critics had smiles on their faces
There's no denying it-she's the

You probably have heard or read

blonde hair and gray-blue eyes

but there are other things about
this 20-year-old girl, so I'll let hel

She Likes Life Positive.

on the couch in her dressing room
between scenes with Humphrey b.
CART In THE Big Sleep" Il abso-
lutely dislike wishy-washy females
and when act, I somehow try to
be over and above the scene. This
may not be quite clear to you. but
what I mean is that if something
tragic happens, it's natural for a
woman to break down and cry. Now
a man never would do that, would
he? Well, neither do I.
The picture which I'm in now is
quite different from the first one

Broadway caught more than its

since the real drama was in the
news, no one outside of the West
Forties seemed particularly to give a
hang about any internecine squab-
bling in the grease paint area
OF three shows scheduled to open
this week only one, Robin Hood,
was able to make it. The r. H. Burn

election night in front of sparse
audience, proof enough that most
of the veteran first nighters were at
home waiting for election returns.
Originally set to open Monday,
Rhapsody" the huge Fritz Kreis-
Ter operetta, ran against production
difficulties and postponed its arrival
until November %. To add to
"Rhapsody's" general irritation, Di-

Lee Sabinson bumped into an i'm

"TT is the job Of government to
4 deuiSe rules of the road but not
10 tell the driver Uhere he must
travel" From the annual report of
the Truman committee of the u. S.
Senate, just made public.
No better definition of the funda-
mental principle on which this gov
eminent should operate, and on
which it did operate for $50 years,
has been given to us recently.
1t is an admonition most neces-
sary now when so many crackpot
schemes are afloat in Washington
that tell Americans which WAY they
must 60
The objective of these plans is
mainly socialistic.
Under state socialism the govern
ment is the regulator, the driver and
the road.
The report of the committee is
constructive in that it, in the main,
lays stress on the necessity Of
l. A speedy return to the free en-
terprise system.
2. The REIMBURSEMENT as soon as
feasible of war restraints on our
great industrial establishments.
3. The need for full corporate
competition after the war.
4 The use of government owned
war plants for civilian production as
soon as this can be supplemented.
5. Drastic condemnation of the
paternalistic form of government in
these words:
"The pnternoliStic attitude is
based upon the false assumption by
those adopting it that they haze
higher degree of patriotism than the
typical citizen. Such an attitude is
an Insult to the patriotism and intel
Hgence of the American people"

Il stands firmly on the tried and true
American system of trusting our
