There's one scene in the picture
called THE Degradation" where
Peck and Jennifer make love to an
Apache rhythm. And it's very ef-
fective. Greg sings Going to Get
Me Someone to Love-" which sets
the tone for the kind of wolf he
portrays.
HE likes the part of Lewt better

fun to. play an unmitigated rascal.

and it almost fooled King. "She

makeup and honestly I didn't know
who she was. I asked some one

Jennifer plays half-breed In
dian, the daughter of a moral
mother and a drunken father, who
shoots his wife over another man
and swings for it. Her love scenes
with Greg are almost embarrassing
"At the end, where Jennifer
shoots it out with Greg dts duel

and so is Greg-has to crawl over
stones and sand to reach him. We
couldn't use a double because OF the
close-ups.
"Jennifer wanted to do it all prop
erly, so instead of spraying her with
perspiration, we threw buckets o1
water over her. There were IS takes

of water over Miss Jones!"

I sat just behind Gregory Peck
at the premiere of Duel in the
Sun" 1t was fascinating to watch
the gentle Mr.. Peck of real life (the
Father Chisholm of keys of Thy
Kingdom" and the Penny Baxter
of THE Yearling'D watching the
lecherous, treacherous Gregory Peck
in the picture.
Afterward I cornered Greg in
the crowded lobby and asked
(which is the real you? The spoiled
immoral cowboy in Duel in the
Sum or the Gregory of the other
pictures?"
Il guess I'm a bit of both, u
grinned Greg. But why don't you

Tall Dan Daley is finding the

But after Metro signed him, the
studio discovered it didn't quite
know what to do with 6-foot
4-inch dancer just then and so
decided to cast him in something or
other as a villain. Well, Dan did all
right and subsequently appeared in
about a score Of films as a heavy
without unlimbering his long legs
in a single dance step.
Then came the war, and DALEY
entered the infantry, winding up as
combat trooper in the 88th Divi-

film called-if you can imagine it

career. When Daley convinced
Metro on his return that he had
been offered good break at goth,

Daley is the first male dance
specialist Goth Century-Fox ever
has had, and the studio, after view
ing the rushes of his work with
Cradle, has more plans for him on
the drawing board. He is set to
co-star with Eleanor Powell in a
forthcoming film. and after that the
studio is planning to cook up some
thing for him and Jeanne Grain.
And the studio doesn't deny q
rumor that Warner Brothers wants
to borrow him to play Dancer Jack
