Ava Gardner Wears
No Screen Makeup

HOLLYWOOD-Ava Gardner
lost an hour of that beauty
sleep during the filming of her
dancehall sequence in "The
Bribe," because she had to re-
port earlier for makeup.
AS a'sultry night-club singer,
it was necessary that Ava be
given makeup even down to a
beauty mark.
{ However during the rest of
tne picture, Ava wears no make
up at all except a light coating
of lipstick.
According to Cameraman Joe
Ruttenberg, she is one girl with
skin so perfect that she can ap-
pear before movie cameras with
out a bit of makeup and still
look like million dollars.
The lack of makeup is not
unusual with Ava, however, be-
cause she often goes without IT
entirely off the screen - even
without the lipstick.

Who Said
"sNew'' Look?

Women's fashions are cyclical
to say the least, according to
Rita Hayworth, who proved her
point to Glenn Ford with the
aid of costume from Colum-
bias Technicolor "The Loves of
Carmen" in which she co-stars
with Glenn. The costume was
an exact copy of a Spanish
gown of the 1905, and Rita
contended it was completely
stylish and modern. Glenn
scofftd' and dared Rita to wear
it to a reception they were both
attending. Nnot only was it un-
iversally admired, but several
stars present asked Rita which
of the Hollywood designers had
created it. Ford's reaction, un-
fortunately, is not chronicled.

against background of color and
Riolence of the High Plains coun-
1try as it emerged from raw from
tier days into the early 1900's,
tn film provides its quartet of
top stars with their most chal-
lenging roles to date.
THE Walls of Jericho" un-
folds the dramatic and suspense
full tale of the bitter battle for
power between two men, and of
a girls yearning for love that
took root in the oppressive at
mosphere of a town that couldn't
hold it. 1t is story of passion
ate conflict famed by a coldly
calculating and beautiful woman
who would let nothing stand in
the way of her consuming am
bition.
In what is being considered
his finest role to date, Cornell
Wilde is seen as David Connors,
athe young county attorney who
battles political machine and
finds himself involved in a scan
dal that almost wrecks him.
Linda Darnell follows her mem
orable performance in Forever
Amber" with her portrayal of
the scheming and ambitious AL
geria, who in the name of love,
almost succeeds in wrecking the
lives of three other people. Anne
Baxter, who won a motion pic
ture Academy Award for her
performance as Sophie in '"The
Razor's Edge" plays Julia, who
is forced to pit her love for Dave
against backstreet gossip of mid
west town. Kirk Douglas, one of
Hollywood's fastest rising new
stars, appears as Tucker, the
young publisher who, taken in
by Algeria's devious ways, is
plunged into bitter battle
gainst his best friend. In the
lead supporting role, Ann Dvorak
appears as Dvae's querulous and
dipsomaniacal wife, Belle.
The films romantic interest
is blended with action and ex-
citement as Algeria puts into ef-
feet her willy scheme to ruin
Dawes career and his political
chances, and Julia finds herself
catapulteo into the battle at
Dawes side.
To film the picture, Twenti-
eth Century-Fox reconstructed
the town of Jericho of 1908 as

the city, complete with buildings
brick streets, gas lampposts
county courthouse and railroad
Station, authentic in every de-
tail.
