Mr.. Kennedy had come to town
in the first place. 1t did not
seem likely. anyhow, that MGM
was paying his way around to
tell people how much he liked
living in Westport, Conn.
So, the actor agreed that the
ending in the movie. in which q
way is found to save the life Of
the Mexican boy whose murder
trial is narrated. is more salts
factory than the conclusion Of
THE book. He left the impress

think any actor, If it's a good
scene. worries much about the
mores Of the character he's
playing. It's a job ofeacting. and
you don't have to believe It or
agree with it to play It,"
4 Il \ \
There was one bit. of addi-
tional help. Mr.. Kennedy de-
clared. The scene. a chilling ex-
posure Of Communist techniques
in cynically perverting honest
causes. called for a full Madison
Square Garden. The call for
extras was the largest any stuoio
ever put out and. Hollywood's
regular extra ranks were swelled
by some $50 yacationing college
students.
They were real hep young
sters." said Mr.. Kennedy. "They
caught on right away to the
quality we were after. to what
we wanted to say in the scene.
They reacted wonderfully"
This undoubtedly makes Mr..
Kennedy the first movie star
ever to try to give $50 amateur
movie extras credit for one Of
his big scenes.
