I first saw Tyrone Power in 1896
He had bit in Girls Dormitory.' 81
Girls all over the world whooped
with excitement when Ty's hand
some sleek head flashed on the
screen. AS Maria Montez or Greg
ory Ratoff would say, HE was
tereefic."
His salary at that time must have
been all of 5000 weekly. Within a
year he was drawing $4,000 q week.
1t was the biggest jump to fame of
the decade. No one enjoyed it
more than Ty. He was free, white,
and exactly % years old. He gave
top Hollywood lady stars treat by
taking them out and getting their
names in the papers.
For a long time he went with
Sonia Henie. Then there were
Janet Gaynor and, of course, Anna
bella after he met and wooed her
in "Suez." In passing, I think that
"Suez" was one of the worst pic
lures ever made. But it didn't hurt
Ty. He went gaily on, married An
nabella and seemed to settle into
blissful domesticity with his French
wife and her daughter, now 1S. All
was merry as a marriage bell.
Just a Rumor.
Then came the war. Ty, for all
his than $4,000 a-week salary, like
Joe GlutZ, took his boot camp
training for the Marines.
When he came back, it was very
obvious that war had changed him
completely. He was sombre, afraid
to talk to the press. Pretty soon it
was even more obvious that his
marriage with Annapella was on
the rocks. When a New York re-
porter stated that the Annabella
breakup was over Gene Tierney, his
leading lady In THE Razor's Edge,
Ty retreated even further into his
new shell. For the record, I don't
think there ever was an iota OF
truth to the report.
The accidental death Of Mrs
David Niven in 'Ty's home was an
other hard blow. He aged severa,
years overnight and was constantly

her closer friends, received a very
generous financial settlement from
Ty-something in the neighborhood
of $4,000 a year for the next 10
years. When Power was questioned,
he side-stepped the issue with. Il
don't make that kind of money"
Is he kidding?f His salary today is
more than 100000 a year. He's
generous with his money, and also
gave Annabella his beautiful home
in Beverly Hills.
Among the casualties of his mar
riage was the loss of a place to live.
At the moment he is bunking with
Anatole Litvak, the producer
director, at Malibu Beach. OF
course Ty could buy or rent house.
But he has been working steadily
first in Captain From CASTLE
and now in nightmare Alley
and hasn't had time to seek out the
sort of place he wants. He is said
to be building small two-bedroom
house, when he has time.
Apart from Miss Turner, Ty is
most interested In the twin-engined
Beechcraft airplane which Goth
Century-Fox bought at cost of
about $65, ,000.' Ty borrowed" it for
a three-month trip around South
America. He expects to borrow it
again soon for a trip through Can
ada. He can use it, in short, any
time he likes. And, according to
other pilots who have flown with
him, Ty is a good and cautious
flyer. He had 1900 hours in the
air with the Marine Corps and since
has added 300 more without mis-
hap of any kind.
Love That Croquet.
Perhaps one of the reasons for
Ty's skill and caution in the air is
found in his skeptical attitude
toward actors in general and Holly
wood actors in particular. Ty once
said: Every so often in the Pacific
some one who was going to be pas
senger in my plane would recognize
me as an actor. His face would take

with David Nevin to help him
through those awful days.
A tipoff to Ty's state Of mind
after the war is that he wanted to
do "The Razor's Edge" as he has
wanted to do do no other picture.
Usually he takes his assignments as
they come, figuring that Daryl F.
Zanuck, vice president in charge of
production at Goth Century Fox,
means well ! by him and that
zanuck's record as builder of
stars-particularly male-is good.
Fascinated by Stan.
He was disappointed that 1.-The
Razor's Edge" successful picture
and nominated for the Academy
Award, was sometimes criticized on
the score that its basic philosophy
was confused. During the making
of Captain From CASTLE" he said,
a little bitterly, well, there's no
chance that any one will be con-
fused by this one. It's all love and
swordplay and that's why movies
were born" He's enthusiastic again
about nightmare Alley" his cur

mated by the despicable Stan Car
lisle-the way people are supposed
to be by a snake. I've never yet
come across a man who was SO
thoroughly heartless and ruthless.
He ruins women, destroys every
chance he has for love, swindles
people and will murder to get what
he wants" Ty usually gets what
he wants-although he's not the
type to murder for it!
Right now we're all trying to
figure out If he wants to marry
Lana Turner when Annabella gives
him his freedom. They seem to be
in love-I mean Lana and Ty. I
thinksif he were free now, they
would get merried. But much can

against the peace of the world. A
different picture would be made
about each country, weaving its GUS
toms into the story.
"The action need not take place
entirely on the huge new super
plane, but the plane would pro-
vide a vehicle for continuity be-
tween each of the movies
A series of travel pictures such
as this, Grant believes, would go
a long way toward increasing each
country's understanding of the
other"
That's pretty heavy talk for light
comedy expert Cary Grant. But
that's the way Grants mind is
turning these days. AS he natures
Che's 49,, Grant is beginning to
wonder where the worlds going.
Cary also is becoming concerned
about Americas children.
They're the ones we've got to
reach" he says. We've got to find
some worthwhile way of educating
them. They won't read the news
papers, but they will go to the
movies. If we can help shape their
growing minds the right way through
the movies, we can shape the world
in future generations.
Grant says British Producer j.
Arthur Rank has a similar idea.
Rank wants to teach them through
the medium of motion pictures at
least basis of religion, tolerance
and faith.
I'VE wouldn't have to make the
movies stuffy to do it. If We did
people wouldn't go to see them.
But there is no reason why enter
tanning movies can't be important as
well. The Best Years of Our Lives
was step in the right direction
1t was good fun, but it had story
to tell"
Grant comedies that the rest OF
the world might not be so dis
contented' as Hollywood. big towns

things to nice normal children ir

HOLLYWOOD.


Two of the most spectacular bach
elors in Hollywood-Cary Grant and
Howard Hughes-are playtime pals
from way. back.
Every time I'm a bachelor" says
the ex-husband of Barbara Hutton
and Virginia Cherrill. Hughes calls
up and suggests, Lets 60 see what
the worlds made Of >"
Sometimes they go by yacht,
sometimes by car. Sometimes they
never get beyond the confines of Los
Angeles.
Both are top men in their re-
spective fields. Grant is one Of the
two or three biggest box Office attrac-
tions among male movie stars.
Hughes controls one of the worlds
biggest airlines and makes movies
and experimental planes on the
side.
When they work. each works
hard. When they play, well, we
play pretty hard, too says Grant.
Hollywood keeps wondering why
the two don't get together profess
sionally. With Hughes producing,
and Grant as the male lead, the re-
sulting picture could be a colossal
movie or a supercolossal flop.
There isn't much chance OF such
q movie in the near future. Grant
Is under commitment to other pro-
ducers for at least two more years
But after that. he wants to do a
series of pictures inspired by
Hughes flying boat, a $25,O00, 900

Dor.
"The movies would be laid 10 years
or so in the future" Grant says.

Harrison the most sentimental
notes imaginable.
Harrison took his excursion to
Hollywood as an opportunity to rev.
olutionize completely a snagged
film career. He was disgusted with
the parts assigned to him In Eng

stand for something different right
in Daryl zanuck's Office. He did

to win his point.
II was tired of playing the same
old dull characters in every film,"
he said. They consisted, alto
gether, of overly polite teacup
charmers, drawing room Tommies,
heroes of the tailor shop. the barber
shop, the handsome Harrys who
went through the same motions at
every start"
With the King" behind. a smash
hit that almost won. him the
Academy Award, it was easy to per-
suade 20th-Fox officials that The
Ghost and Mrs. Muir" was right up
the Harrison roadway. They per-
mitted Rex to dress the character
and enact him just as he saw fit
That was concession few actors
are ever granted.

Rex didn't pull his punches in that
one, either. He made the ghost

triguing.' Again, he saw to 1t that
the character was bearded. How
ever, he was as male as Tarzan and
as romantic as Romeo. Once more
the letters are flooding in on the
studio. The picture has been in
release only few weeks. and yet
fans by the thousands have taken
their pens in hand to demand more
such Harrison portrayals.
His third assignment followed the
same course. In The Foxes of Har-
row." slated for fall release, our
shrewd hero sports a getup which
would cause the average film stall
wart to throw up his hands and run
off the studio grounds in despair.
AS Stephen Fox, he wears a CROWN
ing glory of pin curls. 1t took q
hairdresser two hours each morning
to set them. The beard, of course,
is also there.
Meanwhile, all other producers
with virile leading men on their high
salaried lists, and not knowing ex-
actly what to do with them in thu
face Of a office recession, are
taking the cue from Harrison. Bo-
gart, Cagney and Garfield-to name
few who have saved their careers
by transformations from romantic
to weirdly rugged characters.
No better example of changing
fandom tastes can be shown than
Dick Powells experience. AS a pretty
boy singer in frothy musicals he
became passe, but refused to quit.
He emerged-a couple of years ago
as a bearded. unkempt detective
in Murder, My Sweet" and, as a
result, began debating his own
terms. He's still playing shabby
heroes and putting more money in
the bank than ever before.
