HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 7-In this weeks publicity is an announce ment from Republic that Ann Ruth erford has been assigned her first heavy role in Murder In The Mu- sic Hall." Miss Rutheford," the story continues, "has long been tired or her sweet girl characterizations and anxious to find role which would provide the opportunity to prove her ability as dramatic act- ress."
 Why is it, wonder, that nine Hollywood starlets out of ten are convinced that they must play meanies" in order to be recognized as dramatic actresses?
 Actually, 1t takes at least as much ability to play a virtuous character as 1t does to play bad one. Ingrid Bergman, for instance, has he same chance for an Academy Award as the nun in Bells of St. Mary's" that she had as the gal of the streets in "Dr. Jeckyl and MT. Hyde" Jennifer Jones won her Oscar by playing "Bernadette," one of the most irreproachable charac- ters ever conceived by an author. Janet Gaynor became a famous great dramatic actress" by play ing, in Seventh Heaven" one of the sweetest" girls in movie his- tory.
 Hollywood persistently thinks in terms of types" It's ironic that in a nindustry based on acting, it's dif- ficult to find person who's willing to concede that the art depends, very simply, upon the convincing portrayal of given character.

Life ofAce FIier Filmed Fred MocMurroy
 Role of Eddie
 Rickenboeker

Captain Eddie" is now playing on the screen at the Loew-Poli theater. Blazing with the thrills of a story more amaznig than any flc- tion writer's widest dreams, aglow with the romance and excitement of Americas most colorful era, and enacted by one of the finest casts ever assembled, it has already es- tablished itself as one of the most outstanding hits of the year.
 Starring Fred MacMurray in the title role with brilliant supporting cast headed by Lynn Bari, Charles Bickford, Thomas Mitchell, Lloyd Nolan and James Gleason, this great motion picture is the life story of Eddie Rickenbacker. Gap tain Eddie" is so crammed rich with solid entertainment from start to finish, 50 all-absorbing in its dazzling kaleidoscope of drama, daring, comedy, pathos and TO- nance that it is difficult to single out any one portion or aspect of it for special commendation. The film has been made into an en- crossing whole of the story that packs the adventure and thrills of 8 hundred lifetimes into one.
 From the early scenes of Ricken- packer with an irrepressible urge to fly, through his spirited campaign as an auto salesman for recognition of the automobile as "safe and de- pendable," through the excitement filled courtship of the girl who was to become his wife, and on to the breathless succession of events that made world headlines, Captain Eddie unfolds its amazing story with overwhelming dramatic im- pact, rare humor and swiftly paced excitement.
 The film is peppered with the pulse-pounding thrills of "Rick" smashing records on the auto-Iac- ing track, knocking enemy planes out of the sky in World War I, and fighting for life on lonely raft after the crash of his plane in the South Pacific n 1942. On the gentler side, certainly no romance was ever more delightfully."- present. ed on the screen than the one in this film.
 Tn the title role, Fred MacMur- ray reveals @ profound depth of un- derstanding of the character he portrays. This is by far MacMur- rays best role to date, and in it he rises to new heights as one of the screens most outstanding and ver- satile stars. Uniformly superb por- trayals are delivered by all of the brilliant supporting cast.
 The second big hit of this pro- gram is "Delightfully Dangerous" with Ralph Bellamy and Jane Powell.

bulky manuscript in half--and dis covered, too late, that he had ruined Director Edward Marin's carefully annotated copy of shoot ing script When Charles Boyer, having purchased and redecorated Rudolph Valentines home, gave his interior decorator huge mural painting that he considered value less despite the fact that Valentino had modelled for one of the figures. The decorator sold 1t for $2,O00 4. :. When asked a player who was making the set echo with his com- plaints about the treatment Holly wood dishes out to artists, what role he was enacting-and learned he was hired to initiate a. barking dog!
 My occasional stories about fa- nous practical jokes have brought flood of "reminiscences from Hol- iywood old-timerS. One of the best in this weeks mail concerns the discomfiture of Comedian Rufe Davis. Rufe was working in War ner Brothers picture, playing a truck driver in the employ of company which manufactured a miraculous slenderizing cream. The truck given him to drive carried a blatant advertisement - positive guarantees, in fact-about the re- suits to be obtained from the prod- uct. Rufe drove it down Hollywood Boulevard three or four times for running shots," and forthwith was beseiged by hundreds of tele- phone calls from women-so many calls that he finally had to change his home telephone number. With out Davis knowledge, Director Al Santell had had Rufe's own num- Der painted on the sides of the truck!
 In 25 years of Hollywood report ing. can't remember wave of fan hysteria more overwhelming than the one generated by Van John sons charms. It's not only bobby soxerS who break out in a rash over him, but the Star-wise. sup posedly "sophisticated'' girls who work in the studios, as well. Most of them wouldn't walk across the street to see the screens top box office star, but they use every im- aginable ruse to get on Johnson's SeSt. Recently Marie Wilson was as- signed a role in one of his pictures and promptly found herself swamped by phone calls from de- signing femmes who wanted invi- tationS to visit "her" on the set. I'm amazed" she told me, "to dis cover how many devoted friends suddenly have"
 Speaking of masculine charmers, I'm beginning to suspect that Gary Cooper's father, now in his eighties and one of the best-liked oldsters in Hollywood, is still the No. man in that family. The other day, by special invitation, he became the first man to invade the privacy of the Hollywood Movie Mothers" club. Judge Cooper immediately de- manded, and received, a kiss from every member present. And the ladies then voted him an honorary life membership!
 
 Anne Jeffreys tells me that her maid celebrated V-J Day by de- manding pay boost. Miss Jeffreys, considerably aStonished, reminded the girl that her timing was bad that domesticS will be easier, not harder, to get in time of peace. The maid smiled cannily. The same is true," she said, "of husbands!"
