Helmut Dantine says he doesn't
want any more villainous screen
roles.
Dantine, from Vienna, has been a
favorite choice for many a Nazi
role in Hollywood. When he re-
turned from Washington, he an
nounced that he would ask for more
sympathetic roles.
A studio spokesman said Dantine
will get romantic parts, on the basis
of his reception by fans during per-
sonal appearances in Eastern cities.
In Washington, Dantine made re-
cordings in French, German and
Italian for overseas use, and spoke
briefly by telephone with his parents
in Austria. He learned only recently
that they survived the war.

Soft Word Is the Style
BY Harold Hefernan.

once observed, "Joe is the only actor
know who can underplay
corpse"
Joe's personal life is as quietly
unobtrusive as the characters he
brings to life on the screen. He and
his wife live simply in a small home
overlooking the ocean at Pacific
Palisades. Their night life consists
chiefly of a movie now and then.
Gentleman Joe's latest portrayal Is
definitely in character.
William Dieterle, who directed 1t,
is of the opinion that women in
general are in a state of reaction
against violence in love-making.
Henreid Also Gentle.
Paul Henreid is another exponent
of the well-mannered screen Suitor.
His double cigarette" scene with
Bette Davis in Now Voyager" for a
long time set the pace for courtly
gesture. He accepts all sorts of in
dignities from Eleanor Parker in
| the current "Of Human Bondage"
! in return.
Despite two years as a Marine
Corps sergeant, Glenn Ford returns
to pictures with his record unblem-
ished. In "A Stolen Life" with
Bette Davis, he is the very model of
gentility.
/ Robert Walker is a comparative
newcomer who demonstrates that
rudeness is not an essential char
acteristic for a movie idol. In The
| Clock" opposite Judy Garland, and
now in Her HighneSS and the Bell
boy" with Hedy Lamar and June
Allyson as leading ladies, he makes
only the gentlest of passes at the
objects of his affection. There is
youthful Shyness to him that would
| make any exhibition of romantic
brashness little ridiculous.
Another recent arrival is Bill Will
liams at RKO who plays sailor and
gentleman opposite fiery Susan
Hayward in "Deadline at Dawn"
The Warner Bros choice for
the role of George Gershwin is
Robert Aida, young man of quiet
demeanor whose approach to both
Alexis Smith and Joan Leslie in the
1 film is a model of propriety.
