technicolor, likes to have you ash
about her baby. It Is quite new
only six months old, and Miss Hay
worth will whip out roll Of pic
lures to show you what q wonder
fW baby 1t is. Papa Orson Welles
Is the photographer. quite an EN-
cient one, we would guess. The baby
looks like, Orson, who is not its
handsomest parent, II he does not
mind our saying so.
Miss Hayworth admitted that Or
son might come back to the theater
one Of these days. She, herself,
likes Hollywood. That is where her
career has been made, but II he
wanted to brush up his old one In
the legitimate theater, she would
not interfere. r.,
We asked her il she would like
70 do play and she said she did
not think so-that she would not
like 1t very much.
I would try only on condition
that orson directed the play" she
said.
We wanted to ask Miss Hayworth
some more questions, but Just as
logically a lot Of people around the
room wanted her autograph. She
signed her name for every one who
asked. Another thing that inter-
fered with our Interrogation of Miss
Hayworth was the fact that the
several other males at the table
thought she should be divided up
like the various courses. We had
the entire, but Miss Hayworth was
hungry.
Miss Jones, coming back to her,
Is quite satisfied with the way her
professional life Is working out these
days. She is getting that variety
Of roles that she was afraid she
might not get after her Academy
Award performance In Song Of
Bernadette" She was pleased when
David o. Selznick, her boss, gave
her the older daughter role in TN
Be Seeing You"
She Is more excited, however,
about her current role in Duel in
the Sun" -.... ~
She plays An Indian girl in that
one, and not one Of those Indian girls
whose whole emotional life Is ex-
pressed in an enigmantic grunt. The
picture Is In nonactive phase right
now due to the strike Of technicians
In Hollywood. Miss Jones thinks 1t
will be resumed pretty quickly, how
ever.
The assignment toward which she
Is looking most happily lies beyond
Duel In the Sun"
That's the title role in Cluny
Brown, the popular serial and, later,
best seller. It will be as different
from Bernadette as anything Miss
Jones can think Of, or that we could
think Of, either. It will give her an
opportunity, for one thing, to do
comedy. She thinks it high time
that she tried her hand at some
thing light, not altogether light, but
With various gay moments.
Another, Selnick actress who
came into the conversation was
Dorothy MCGUIRE. Miss Jones is
a great admirer of the former
Omaha girl, who is another of her
studios contractees.
Miss Jones thinks Dorothy was
superb in "A Tree Grows In Brook
lyh" and is possibly even better in
The Enchanted Cottage" It would
not surprise her II Miss, Mcclure
turned up as an Academy Award
winner this year. The number Of
people that would not surprise gets
greater every day. -
Miss Jones, who has not met Miss
MCGUIRE, BY the way, thinks their
two careers rs selznick players
rather proves that the danger Of
being typed IN Hollywood is over
stressed. At least, at times.
Our opinion Is that the versatility
and scope OF the player has a lot
to do with 1t. Mr.. Selznick's two
young actresses have lots of both.
but others are not similarly gifted
