As a matter of record, if many
Of your favorite screen players had
been less courageous souls they
would have packed their bags and
hied themselves back to the old
home towns to have try at other
lines.
The starry list is cluttered with
examples of those who refused to
say quit when told by the smart
tycoons that motion pictures were
not their dish.
There's Rosalind Russell, for ex-
ample, a girl who now gets $l25, 900
for making a single picture-and
selects her own stories and the STU
dios that will make them.
A few years ago at MGM, where
she was kept around only as threat
to Myrna 10y, Rosalind was called
into the front Office and advised that
her chances of becoming top act
ress were very slim. They began
loaning her out-and finally she
clicked heavily in MY Girl Friday.
After that she never went back but
has since roamed from one lot to an
other rolling up a heavy bank &C
count and a fine succession Of hit
pictures.
Joel McCrea, born in Los Angeles,
claims to hold the Hollywood record
for number of screen tests made be-
fore gaining a firm foothold on the
film ladder. He spent the entire
first two years of his campaign
testing for roles that always were
given to other actors. One producer
still heading a studio, told Joel he
should quit trying. He looked too
much like an awkward farm boy
That producer is now paying the big
actor a fancy fee for his chores in
front of camera. incidentally, Joel
did take the hint about going back
to the farm. He bought one and
is today perhaps the only dairy
farmer among the actors who makes
his place pay profit.
There would have been no Clark
Gable in tall lighted letters atop
movie houses if the big fellow
hadn't had determination in large
gobs, plus great sense of humor
Gable was thrown out of more
studios, he thinks than any other
struggling actor, but he kept at it.
They said a fellow with such big
ears could never get anything but
laughs They said his teeth should
be pulled or Strengthened. They
said nothing was right about him.
Cable slept with his ears bandaged
against his head He had his teeth
fixed. He went back and still they
said no dice When the gangster
era got under way, Clark began to
get nibbles. AS tough bartender in
Joan Crawford picture, he first
scored an impression, but it wasn't

From Tour as
|GIs' Heroine
By the Associated press

" NEW YORK.
Two years, seven months and 18
operations after she was injured,
Jane Froman hobbled OIL the troop
transport Queen Elizabeth on
crutches last week, q wonderful ex-
ample of the GIs who came home
on canes, crutches and stretchers.
This was the same girl who broke
both her legs when the Lisbon clip
per crashed, with 26 lost and Is
survivors, this same beautiful, tai
ented Jane. She was the first per-
son of the boat, and as she wended
a difficult way along the dock she
was the object of constant cheers
from the boys who had come back
and had voted her, without . single
dissent, the Queen of the Queen
Lizzie" the CT nickname for the
great liner which brought them
home.
Trip Was Important.
This was an important trip for
Jane. She had wanted to complete
a mission, and she did. She felt, all
the time she lay in hospitals in Eu-
rope and this country, recovering
from her injuries and various op-
erations, that she simply had to get
back to fulfill her Job, to entertain
the soldiers.
This time, she didn't go by plane,
and when her ship arrived In Eu-
rope, she started as rigorous . tour
as has been accomplished by the
hardest Hollywood and Broadway
entertainers, tour which was ex-
tended by several months despite
film commitments and Broadway
offers which would give even a mil
lionaire pause.
Her trip overseas had been a point
for much discouraging advice from
many Of her friends. They said she
didn't have to 60, that she had suf-
fered enough, that she owed 1t to
herself to recoup the physical and
financial losses she had undergone
because of her injuries.
Arguments Were Futile.
They pointed out, too, that her 18
operations had cost more than $780,
900 of her own money, that the i'm
pending five operations which may
take her OF crutches and canes for
good will cost almost as much. They
brought up more arguments, includ-
ing the loss Of over $500, 900 In book
ings while she was kept in bed with
casts on her legs. But. all this op-
position made nary a dent In the
Froman intention to 60 back to Eu-
rope.
James husband and manager, Bob
Ross, went with her. They had
what both described as "a wonderful
time" Jane said she could describe
her trip in the terms used by the
G1s when they happen into comforts
they haven't enjoyed since leaving

II had a chance to get into the
A bracket again" the redhead tells
me. &C. B. de Mile wanted me for
a heavy in Union Pacific But In
one scene some one had to flick a
cigarette from my mouth with a
bull whip! After the experience
with the lion, said nothing doing.
De Mile said do 1t, or I don't play
the part. I didn't play the part,
but he had to pay me for six weeks. "
After this Bickford decided that,
at the risk of not making another
picture, he would refuse B pictures
Il passed up seven BIS and it looked
as though I wouldn't be working
again" says Charles. After "Berna-
dette," goth Century-Fox signed
him to a term contract. But this
ended a short while ago and the
actor did not renew. He is going
back to 20th-Fox to play Garcia in
Captain From CASTLE" at a salary
five times that he was paid when
under contract to the studio!
Married 27 Years.
Bickford was born in Cambridge
Mass. He has been married to the
same wife for 81 years. He has lived
in the same house at the beach for
IS years. He has two children, one
hobby and one weakness.
The children are Doris Marie
aged Is, and Rex Albert-named for
a favorite dog Rex is 20. The hobby? ?
Swimming. 1t is the only exercise
permitted, except for little boxing
with friends
Mr.. Bickford's weakness has to dc
with horses. He likes to bet large
sums. On the track they call him
"Poker-face" Bickford Il get excited
inside" says Charlie, but no matter
how big the sum involved. it never
shows on my face"
Mrs. Bickford, the former Beat
rice Loring, used to object to the
betting. But it's now agreed" says
her mate, that I have a special
account for betting and that is my
affair" Which is one of the reasons
perhaps, why the Bickfords have
been married for ~ years.

Meet the new lover of the screen
Charles Bickford. He plays the
lover of Jennifer Jones in Duel in
the Sun" He is lover to Linda Dar-
nell in Fallen Angel" He moves up
a notch in Desirable Woman" and
is the husband of Joan Bennett. I'm
not sure whether the shortage of
young leading men Is the reason for
Bickford's screen rebirth in roman
tic roles, or whether the studio
biggies have rediscovered he has
sex appeal. But until two years ago.
and ever since he was bitten in the
neck by a lion, Charlie has earned
his film bread and butter as a viii
lain.
TT all happened with The Song
of Bernadette, Mr.. Bickford-
whose red hair always startles those
who meet him-tells me, at lunch.
Before that, mothers, when they
saw me, used to scream and hug
their children to them. Now they
regard me as a good man and want
to ask my opinion on this and that
Bickford, if you remember, was
Father Peyrmale, dean of Lourdes,
in "Bernadette" He had wanted the
role ever since he read the book, but
thought he was out, on account of
being known chiefly as heavy. And
then presto! Daryl Zanuck tele-
phoned him one fine, very fine
morning. and asked him if he'd like
to play the part. And Charlie was in
after a long period of being on the
outside.
Selznick Found Him Busy.
Since the lion chewed me ups
says the actor. I've had no agent
I've made my own deals" And since
his success in "Bernadette" he's
been very choosy. David Selznick
had to ask him three times to play
Sam, the ranch foreman, the man
who loves Jennifer Jones in Duel
in the Sun" He had nothing par
ticularly against the part, although
he does not consider it his best role
although I'm about the only de-
cent man in the picture" But he was
busy when Selznick made his first
two requests counting Linda Darnell
in Fallen Angel"
But think that 1t is time we went
back to the lion and what he did
to Charlie, mentally, morally, physi-
cally and movie-ly.
