WHEN WE WROTE in a news
story the other day that Mount
Clemens firemen used a pulmo-
tor in an effort to revive q man
who was unconscious, we spoke
from the profundity of our ig-
norance on such matters. Fire
Chief Ed Smith explains that the
pulmotor has gone the way of

use the latest type Automatic
Resuscitator which Is a COM
bined resuscitator, inhalator and

and adjusts itself to
the lung capacity of the subject,
whether that victim is a newly
born babe or a 90-year-old man.
The old : type pulmotor,
pumped by hand, was a deadly
weapon in the hands of the av-
erage "rescuer" and many a
person would be alive today if
this crude device had never been
invented, Chief Smith points
out. OF course, it was the pri-
mary stage of inventiveness
which paved the way for the
present perfected lifesaver.

her difficulties, she doesn't hesitate
to shoulder her little gun, climb the

outlaw lover is dug in, and liquidate
him in gun duel. If it is played

The role of Isabel. the good girl,
goes to Maureen OHara. This seems
paradoxical in view of Maureen's S
mutiny against dear, sweet roles.
But Maugham's Isabel is not above
disposing of woman who is, in a
manner of speaking, her rival. Her
methods are not as crude as those of
Ellen Berent-she merely puts a
bottle and glass in tempting proX-
unity to one she knows to be a
drunkard.
The key to this complex woman
may be found in a quote from the
book, where the Maugham-like
character says to Isabel: MY dear,
I'm very immoral person. When
I'm really fond of any one, though
I deplore their wrongdoings it
doesn't make me less fond of them.

If you're looking for happy sta1
in Hollywood, pick the one playing
the wickedest character-that's youl
gal. This may sound like feminine
system for picking winners at the
races; it won't work with the horses
but it's sure-fire with the movie
girls today.
When a national magazine de-
scribed Linda Darnell's performance
| in a recent role as the finest eX-
ample of unhousebroken female on
the screen today" she was thrilled.
She carries the clipping about with
her as proof of her acting progress
Couple of years ago a gorgeous
young thing like Maureen O'Hara
would refuse to play an unsympa-
thetic character no matter how big
the part or what dramatic opportu-
mites it offered. For years Bette
Davis was the only star willing to
tackle disagreeable roles for sheer
love of art. But heavies and char
acter actresses both are losing out
since the venturesome young play
ers have begun to yammer for more
interesting parts.
Maureen Sick of Sweetness.
When Maureen recently look a
f1inty stand against playing any
more dear, sweet girls" Goth Cen
tury-Fox threw up its hands in dis
may. Doubtless she had in mind the
opportunity the role of Ellen Berent
in Leave Her to Heaven" gives
Gene Tierney. Ellen is the young
wife whose sheer unmitigated mean
ness makes Lizzie Borden look like
a kindergartener. Ellen allows he1
14-year-old brother -in-law, who is
absorbing too much of her hus-
bands time and attention to heI
way of thinking, to drown before
| her eyes without lifting hand to
help, although she's an expert SWIM
mer.
Ellen also leaps downstairs, sue
cessfully Kidding herself of an un-
born child. Then, after confessing
her crimes to her husband in ex-
pectation of being forgiven, she
commits suicide when he tells her
he intends to leave her. AS mas
ter stroke, she so arranges her death
as to throw suspicion of murder on
her young sister Ruth, whom she
correctly suspects of having won the
affection of her husband
| When this role was offered Tai
lulah Bankhead, that seasoned vet
eran of stage and screen turned it
down, saying: Il draw the line at
murder" Yet Gene Tierney jumped
at it-thinks it will do more for her
career than any part she has ever
played. 1t will doubtless go down
as the hardest-boiled role in Holly
wood, Broadway or fiction records
Linda Darnell never got very far
as a beauty and good girl on the
screen. But when she threw virtue

concerned, she moved up into the
