Power Leads
In Race for
Robe Role
BY Bob Thomos
HOLLYWOOD.


Tyrone Power appears to be SCI
for the leading role in "Ths
Robe"
At least that is the report from
the grapevine. There was some
doubt as to whether Power, once
the fair-haired boy at 2Otn-Fox
would return for the Biblica
drama. He has only two more
pictures to make there and i.
otherwise independent. Here's the
reported reason he will do 1.-THE
Robe:
Lloyd Douglas. it's author, sole
the rights to producer Frank
Ross but retained approval of the
leading player. When Douglas
died. Ty Powers agents bought
the casting approval from the
estate.
Then 20th-Fox assumed pro.
duction of 1.-The Robe" The stu.
dio was renegotiating Power's
contract and dangled the film al
an inducement for him to stay al
the studio. It was then that hi
agents told the studio that Power
would play the role anyway, il
he wishes, because he had pur-
chased Douglas right to approve
the casting.

Recently I helped give a studio
tour to : Duncan Ikezoe, CORE
spondent for the big Tokyo news
paper, Asahi. learned some in
teresting things about Japanese
movie habits.
THE American stars are not SO
important to japanese movie
goers. Duncan remarked. "The
people go to pictures more be-
cause Of the directors. Such men
as John Ford, William Wyler
Jules Dassin, King Vidor and
John Huston are very popular in
Japan. AS you can see by those
names, the japanese like realism
in their pictures. This is prob
ably the result of the war"
It's too bad United States au.
d1ences are not as director-con-
scious as the Japanese. If they
were, we would be seeing better
pictures. Ever since the star sys-
TEN started. producers have wor-
ried more about stars than
directors, who are the real Gre
ators OF the industry.

Immediately and became greatly
excited.
"He is my favorite Of all actors,
she exclaimed. Il would give any.

During a lull in the proceedings
Gielgud came over, was introduced
and his fan from back East be-
came almost tongue-tied. She f.
nally was able to blurt out how
many times she had seen him or
the New York and London stage
in what roles-and how much she
enjoyed all his work. Gielguo
chatted amiably for a few mo-
mentS and then was called back
to the set by Director Joseph Man
kiewicZ.
"This is a most interesting ex-
perience for me, but you know ]
am not a bit adept at this me-
dium." he told the breathlessly
delighted ladies while seemingly
ignoring Mankiewicz' call. In
fact, must be a great nuisance

who are great actors and who are
not distracted by chalk marks
mechanics, strange cues and the
like. It is very lucky for me that
I have the fortune to know the
lines so well and that I am stepped
in the character that I portray"
"Mr. Gielgud, please!" called the
director, this time with a slight
touch of impatience. The Shakes

with each of the ladies and called
out to them as they walked off the
set in a trance:
"A pleasant trip back to Pitts

Barley and RoyburnN Note
|3oth Anniversary in Capital

The presiding officers Of both
the Senate and House marked
identical anniversaries yesterday
The Senate took time out from
legislation to pay tribute to Vice
President Barkley on the seth an
niversary Of his first election to
Congress.
He came to the House in 1918
and after IA years was elected
to the Senate. He became ma
ljority leader before his election
Jas Vice President four years ago.
His Fairness Cited.
Republicans and Democrats
alike praised him for his fairness
and ability. Senator Ecton of
Montana, acting Republican floor
leader. said the only regret some
Republicans have is that Mr..
Barkley does not belong to their
party.
Mr.. Barkley's counterpart in
the House-Speaker Rayburn-
was marking an identical ami
verSary yesterday. During House
debate on the UNIT bill, Speaker
Rayburn remarked that he be-
came member of the House 80
years ago.
Speaker Rayburn noted his an
niverSary in one Of his rare House
speeches when he called on his
colleagues to support the UNIT
bill. The House membership in
terrupted him with a rousing
cheer when he said he had taken
his House seat "39 years ago to-
day."
Longest Majority Leadership.
Senate Majority Leader McFar-
land recalled that Mr.. Barkley,
now "a years old, served longer
than any other man as Senate
majority leader.
He is a fearless leader" Sen
ator Mcfarland said, and he

what can be accomplished by q
poor boy who puts forth the
proper effort"
Mr.. Barkley, he said, worked his
way through college and then
entered public life as a county
prosecutor and county judge in
Kentucky.
Senator Wiley. Republican, OF
Wisconsin. called Mr.. Barkley q
very human fellow" and said he
is lone Of the best story tellers
in the country"
Senator Smith. Republican, of
New Jersey, said Mr.. Barkley, in
his former role Of Democratic
leader Of the Senate, had acted
with enough skill to make the
defeats of the Republican minority
seem less painful.
Asserting that In the past three
decades he has known nearly
every prominent statesman. SEN
aCor Russell, Democrat, of Georgia,
said he had never known "an
ADLER, finer or truer American"
than the Vice President.
Priceless Compensations.
MIR. Barkley said he found it
difficult ito respond adequately to
the gracious tributes" He observed
that monetary reward was not
always in proportion to the serv-
ice rendered by q man in public
life, adding:
There are compensations that
come to men in public life that
are priceless -.
Zone Of those compensations is
the feeling-that sometimes may
be an illusion. that we are rem
dering a public service.
another compensation is the
sincere friendship and under
standing that grows up among
those who serve together in public
life"
