figures, and this Miss Del Rio gives them in
full measure She leads an almost religiously
strict life. Some of the discipline is imposed
upon her by society - the Mexican conven-
tions for married or unmarried women of good
family are rigid. Other restrictions are de-
manded by her career. The life of profes-
sional beauty is not easy. Miss Del Rio may
neither smoke nor drink. She adheres to
rigid diet. When she is not making picture
she lies in bed till noon. She makes no appoint
ments before 2 pm. She lives with her mother.
Her public appearances are chaperoned.
Now She's an Actress
SoMETHING of this austerity has penetrated
into her manner. She is not as gay as she was
in the States, and her talk lacks humor.
Does she miss Hollywood and its unconven-
tionality? 1t is hard to say She is an ex-
tremely wealthy woman in Mexico Her home
in Churubusco would be palatial by top
Hollywood standards Her pictures have
large market in South America, and she has
financial interest in their production.
Unquestionably she finds her new career
gratifying. At the age of AZ, she has become
Evening star., 1947-11-30

Hollywood made up for the weakness of
her roles by the strength of its publicity.
Miss Del Rio was built into an exotic legend.
She was billed as femme fatale There were
tales of duel over her, scheduled but never
fought in the prosaic suburbs of Los Angeles
She drank, it was reported, only from gold
chalice which she carried with her to the set
The secret of her translucent complexion was
her diet of rose-petal and orchid-leaf salad
Miss Del Rio disposes of that last story today
by revealing its origin. A press agent once saw
her nibbling idly on rose petal. His vivid
imagination did the rest
When Miss Del Rio went on her frequent
trips to Europe, where the international set
adopted her, her encourage included sort of
canine League of Nations "a Russian wolf
hound, German dachshund, an English
pointer an Irish setter, St. Bernard. Movie
stars acted like movie stars in those days.
At the height of her publicity. she was
working on $9,OOO-a-week contract "a fab
ulous sum even for today.
BY comparison with all this, her Mexican
career sounds almost dull - above all, the
Mexicans demand dignity of their public
Evening star., 1947-11-30

for the first time what she wanted to be all
her life - an actress. She is an intelligent and
ambitious woman, and demands success.
She herself attributes the triumph of her
new career to the fact that II took my shoes
off when came home" She means this
both fguratively and literally. She speaks
seven languages with varying degrees of
fuency, but unquestionably il most at
ease with Spanish. This has loosened up her
acting. And, literally, she has not worn pair
of shoes in any of her pictures, playing bare
foot Indian maid in every one, including
The Fugitive"
However, got the impression from meet
ing her in both places that she was more at
home in New York than in Mexico City. She
was nervous as we drove from her home in
Churubusco to the theater where she had an
engagement She wasn't sure of the Mexican
propriety of the situation - alone in a sedan
with three males, myself and two press
agents. When the car stopped, hundred
yards from the entrance, she got out glanced
swiftly around, and hurried furtively off. Like
many another queen, she has to watch her
step every minute. The End

She's still beautiful and
she's still a movie queen.
But she's given Hollywood
the brush-off for good

W7HATEVER happened, you ask to Dolores
w Del Rio? Twenty-Five years ago they
used to say she was the most beautiful woman
in Hollywood.
Well they can say that again - today.
Poised in swim suit at the edge of the patio
pool of the Papagayo Hotel in Cuernavaca,
she seemed poised, too, at the age where
adolescence ends and graceful womanhood
begins The face and figure of young girl!
Surely the records were wrong which said
she was born in 1905, that she was making
pictures in Hollywood % years ago, that
Blanche Sweet and other forgotten stars were
her contemporaries Neither time nor the
tropical sun have been able to trace line
on her unblemished skin. or to mar the SYM
metry of her polished limbs.
~Woxld's Best"
SHE may be through in tickle Hollywood.
But south of the border she is the acknowl-
edged queen. Back in her native Mexico, her
last four pictures have won the Mexican
equivalent of the Oscar Maria Candelaria"
was awarded the worlds best" ribbon at the
1916 International Exposition in Cannes
She will never 60 back to Hollywood, she
says without bitterness But Hollywood has,
in manner of speaking, come to her. She is
being co-starred with Henry Fonda in John
Ford's picture, "The Fugitive" which was
filmed entirely in Mexico. 1t is her first
English-speaking role in five years.
Ifshe we're to leave Mexico now it would
cause something of revolution. Her
popularity there is unprecedented. In
country where women are kept in the back
ground, Miss Del Rio stands in the forefront
of intellectual life and society Artists, writer's,
statesmen are her friends.
To all of them she is "our Lolita" And the
humber citizens - the Indian leading his
burro through the streets, the corner sweeper
with his old-fashioned bosom, the laborer
and the loafer - all doff sombreros in courtly
fashion when she passes and call out, "Buenas
tardes" - good afternoon - Lolita"
A Hollywood Legend
SHE is Mexico's very own. She was born
Dolores Asunsolo, grew up in the State
of Durango, Mexico. At Is, she married
Jaime Del Rio, of an ancient Mexican house.
She was still in her teens, when, shattering
all precedent, she became an American movie
star - the first Mexican girl to break into
Hollywood big time Her husband, older than
herself, died at the height of her career.
(She married and divorced Cedric Gibbons,
the M-G-M art directory
Truth to tell, her American career was more
sensational than distinguished. Her beauty
overshadowed her talent Her gowns were con-
sidered by Hollywood to be more important
than her scripts. The first talking picture she
made was called The Bad Ont" - and, says
Dolores grimly today, it was just that. A
series of bad ones followed.

However, it is understood that the
Tigs have improved considerably
since that time, having, won .

That Coach Earl Brinkley will have
to keep his "Midgets" on their toes
throughout the coming contest is
proven by the fact that the Halls

Thursday with a 14-O trouncing of
the Chadbourn Panthers, a team
that Whiteville has defeated twice
this year, but only by scores OF

Allows Two Hits
Special to the Star

LuMBERTON, April 81 - The
wilmington (Del.) Blue Rocks cap
tured their sixth exhibition tussle
today by tripping the Lumberton
Cubs of the class D Tobacco State
league 10 here this afternoon and
the hero of the game was Right
handler Bill Kaszarek who worked
the nine-inning route for the Rocks
and showed almost m%id-season
form.
Kaszarek allowed the Cubs only
two hits over the regulation dis
lance and famed four. He issued
only one pass.
The Rocks who tripped the Cubs
1873 in their last meeting at Che.
raw, S. c., put together two hits
and three passes in the first inn
ing to take a four run lead.
Manager Jack Saltzgaver was
quite dissatisfied with the poor
hitting of the Rocks, but pleased
with the mound chore turned in by
Kaszarek. The longest nit for the
Rocks was a long triple by Eddie
Sanicki.
Tomorrow the Rocks will en-
terrain at home when they meet
the Providence club of the New
England league at Cheraw. Saltz-
gaver is undecided as to who will
work for the Rocks but whoever
hurls for the Wilmington nine will
be asked to go the distance.
