Ava Gardner went aglimmering

Luis on the other end of the

People ask me, how can Rita
HayWorth be broke when her

is, she's a partner in her COM

I doubt whether she can collect,

and to her surprise, got an i'm
mediate answer.
II concluded" she says, "that
they were terribly nice people
who, If they answered my letter,
simply answered all letters. But
they said to come down on q
certain day to an addition. I
went and listened to all kinds
of fine singers as they went
through THEIR additions and
heard them all politely thanked
for having come.
"By the time they got to me,
I knew I didn't have a chance.
I sang Cole Porter's Find Me O
Primitive Man. I sang it COM
pletely easy and relaxed, so con-
fident was I that it was all rou-
tine. The relaxation was taken
by everybody else as quite the
reverse-as real confidence. So
I was asked to come back and
sing again. This time, was COM
pletely tense, but these are I'M
derstanding people" She got the
job, obviously.
Miss Fanklin, who was born,
educated and still has a family
in Brooklyn, thinks her mothers
reaction to this, her first profess
Sional job, was wonderfully
parental one.
She called home instantly to
say that she had the role of
Bloody Mary in South Pacif1c'S"
National company.
Then you're not coming
home" were her mothers first
words.
Miss Franklin is a designer
and decorator by education, but
she also has sung all her life,
television and night clubs be-
fore South Pacific" She has
not had any voice training and
does not think she wants it.
This is not a lack of modeSty
on her part. She thinks a teach
er would insist upon doing ruth
less things with her style which
show people like just fine be-
cause it is natural and like her.
She is not proud of it but she
has had enough success with
it to have faith in its Brightness
for her.
She likes to play character
parts, would worry if she got
a role close to her real self.
That's a sign of something,
suppose" she says, maybe
that I would rather face Bloody
Mary than myself"
**
Miss Franklin, and all the
cast of South Pacific" had a
wonderful time doing the special
matinee for Korean war wound
ed at the National on Thursday
Nevertheless, Mrs. EiSen-
hower's presence in a stage box
did present a slight problem to
Bloody Mary. There are some
pretty unref1ned words in Bloody
Mary's vocabulary, words an is
land woman might pick up from
g. rs who do not speak draw
ing room English.
Usually" Miss Franklin says,
''I look precisely at the spot in
which Mrs. Eisenhower sat.
That day, I lowered my eyes,"

BLOODY Mary IN OOuCn FaCI1lC.
It Is virtually astounding that
any one as ornamental as Miss
Franklin can transmute herself
into such a ruin, albeit q not
undermining one, with mere
makeup, tooth tape and some
sponge rubber pads.
There's a story in Miss Frank
Inns family that speaks elo-
quently for the Transformation
from the girl into the character.
It's her mothers story and 1t
goes, in quotes:
almost any mother in the
world with such a talented
daughter on a stage would be
proud to tell her neighbors in
the audience, That's my girl
Not I. 1t would require too much
explanation"
So. she has to mufle her
pride.
Miss Franklin, who had her
breakfast with our luncheon, has
another story to illustrate that
the toothlessneSs, the sag, and
other unseemly aspects of Bloody
Mary are not easily come by.
"I1l never forget the inter-
mission, shortly after I began
to play the part, when Oscar
Hammerstein came back to my
dressing room. I was wonder
fully horrible, I thought. He
didn't think so.
you're too pretty he said,
with which he picked up make
up and brushes and set to work
making what I thought was a
mess Of me-already a total loss.
I was so totally different when
he finished that I was sure the
audience would think some one
else was playing the role the
d, second half of the show. Mr..
Hammerstein thought otherwise.
He was right. "
X X X Il
Miss Franklin who has been
playing and understanding
Bloody Mary for three and one
half happy years, got her job
with Rodgers and Hammerstein
by not expecting to get a job.
