In Hollywood
BY RsKTNE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent

For . girl Hollywood can't make up its mind about, the gorgeous Hussey is doing all right
 In fact, Ruth Hussey Is one of the few young ladies of the screen we know who does not regularly pound her fist on an executives desk, gnash her teth and scream, q am being typed. You are wrecking my careerp
 Just take . look at the record.
 Five years ago she made her film debut In c straight romantic role opposite Robert Young in a film titled, 'Rich Man, Poor Girl" Since then she's played sophisticated wives sweet, wholesome girls the hero left behind, brittle comediennes, a wom- an scientist, . psychopathic case, romantic roles, and the hero's little sister. Why, she even played bar maid in . sagebrush thriller, Pierre of the Plains"
 She just completed another straight romantic part, with Pat O'Brien, in RKOs Marine Raid erS"-"a little slush is good now and then" she says = and now she's retiring from the screen for few months to play Q different kind of role. As the wife of Lieut.. Robert Longnecker, she has date with the stork in August.
 Reason Ruth Hussey hasn't been typed by Hollywood's sometimes strange casting methods is that she hasn't fought against them.
 T believe" she says, 'in swim ming with the current instead of against it. I've never worked my self into 6 frenzy to get a certain role. I've always believed in doing the best you can do at the mo- ment. I've never been disappointed in not getting a role I'd like to play I've always gone along on the theory that a better one must be coming up."
 GETTING ACQUAINTED
 Nov that she's served her appren- ticeship in an assortment of roles, Ruth would like to concentrate on combining comedy and drama. You know-real people. After all, com edians aren't always funny. And you don't have to go through a whole picture weeping all over the place."
 Up until . couple of years ago, Ruth Hussey admits she had rep utation for being snooty. T guess 1t was because I was lonesome-my family and friends were in the east and because I didn't understand Hollywood"
 It all started, she guesses, when she first arrived in filmtown and someone asked her how she liked the place. Ruth, who halls from Providence. R. l., said she thought it Uas terrible, with some cracks about the sun beating down on you all the time ,"unsocial" people, and "all the scenery in pastel shades"

Pcli Theater, one that win finger long in their memories as a program that has all the ingredients of mar velous entertainment.
 First and foremost there is the screens latest film, which will have practically it's first showing in the East right here in Waterbury, and it is titled "Eifeboat" this film has everything and from the raves of critics, it will thrill the residents of the Brass City as few films have, starting right from scratch the first thing is the story was written by John Steinbeck, this is it's first note- worthy offering, then 1t has been di- rected by Alfred Hitchcock, enough to make a less worthy book a real one for the screen, add to all of this the impressive cast that has been se- cura and which features Tallullah Bankhead and William Bendix in the leading roles and you begin to realize just what pleasure there is for you in this film, and it is of such immensity that the management of the Loew-Poli theater have booked this film for an entire weeks show ing, this attests to the greatness of the film when it is considered that the Loew-Poli is New England's largest theater. Many persons will want to see this film over and over again, 1t is greater than all of the Earth, its magnitude is that of the seas, also it shows the reactions of men and women when they are be- yond the laws of the earth and what happens, it is Cast, terrific and sen- sational.
 On the same program one of the most delightful light comedy treats of this or any year is the companion feature, it has been titled "Jeannie" and a great many happy moments
