Who's Best Actor?

minds of the critics off the
other two.
His Mister Roberts" is an
utterly brilliant piece of por-
traiture. True, he had more
practice in the role. having
played it three years on the
stage, than did Borgnine as
Marty or Ford as the school
teacher or DR.. Tom King.
This enabled him to search
every corner of the decent.
quietly heroic nature of the
Junior officer OF the LK601 who
became one of the great post-
war heroes of dramtic litera-
ture. Out of this came a per-
formance which revealed a man
more heroic in stature than
Ford's school teacher and as
endowed with simple human
warmth as Marty's. : :
In other words, here was a
character made to perfection,
and embodying the best hu-
man features of the other two.
1t is an almost certain
Academy Award winner. not
merely on merit, but because
his Hollywood fellows who do
the voting have been looking
for years for an occasion to
honor Fonda. If Mister Rob-
erts" does not make this a
natural, then there is no such
a thing.
And Cagney Again
However, there is another
candidate and a congenitally
troublesome one. This Is James
Cagney, a wealthy loafer for
several years, who came back
as Doris Days pschotic hus-
band in 'Love Me Or Leave
Me" to remind everyone how
great he can be. Then, by way
of proving that idleness had
improved him If anything.
Cagney turns up with a chal-
lenge to Fonda as the Captain
in Mister Roberts"
Like Ford, this gives him
two shots at ending up as the
years best actor. For a man
who has never needed more
than one, this is a strong
position.
It is not strong enough at
this moment, however, to sway
this department from the no.
ton that the best of the
'bests" SO far this year is
Fonda's.
The girls. bless them, have
been less troublesome if only
because theif roles have been
less overpoweringly written.

THE GIRL WHO WENT OUT TO SIAM
Veteran Cary Grant Talks Of Movies
And Of His Past, Present and Future

on after the picture and hold
an open meeting about Holly
wood, answering questions
that Sheilah Grham hasn't
already answered in her col
umn."
He Liked 1t Here
We went back to the British
born Cary's beginnings in the
movie business. II wasn't
going to be a movie actor"
he said. II set out just to
travel, but I couldn't get a
job of any sort-not even as
a cabin boy. One day / saw
an act in a theater that used
children. I went home and
wrote in for a part and didn't
even tell my parents about it.
I Joined the troupe and we
travelled to Rio, Belgium,
France, Russia and then we
came to the Hippodrome in
New York and / fell in love
with America. When the troupe
moved back to Europe I stayed.
During all this time my
name was Archibald Leach.
From a play, Boom Boom
that I did for Shubert, I
signed for Hollywood. But I
was no starving actor. This
was 1890 and I was making
$3.50 a week. I had money and
felt that I was really rich
when ! got to Hollywood be-
cause I even had a set of
golf clubs. The studio told
me right away I would have
to change by name. I asked
them what was the matter with
it and said that my father
and mother wouldn't like it
being changed. Fay Wray,
my co-star in my first picture,
asked, Why don't you take
Cary?' tthe name I had in
the play. The studio went
down a list Of names. came
up with Grant, and asked me
how I liked it. I said it was
fine and asked them how much
money they would pay me to
take it. And that is the true
story of how I got the name
of Cary Grant.
Can Can" Next
"As for my future plans, I
think my next picture will be
'Can-Can,' and then Hitch
cock has an idea for a picture;
then I have to go to Spain to
do one for Stanley Kramer. I
have 18 other scripts which
I have to read and give de-
cisions on, which means / am
going to be busy for the next
four years"
Cary lists his favorite ac-
tresses: "Grace Kelly. who is
Just tops. She has a knack for
utter concentration and her
purpose dominates her at all
times. She never presses a
point and she always works
with you. Ingrid Bergman is
practically the same as Grace,
Irene Dunno, Myrna 10y,
Katharine Hepburn and Aud
rey Hepburn are also favorites
of mine. AS for the stars from
the new school, / don't know
any of them"
Cary's favorite actors:
Spencer Tracy, who to me is
the maestro of our business
When he just drinks a glass
of water in a picture there is
a lot going through his brain
He is acting to the hilt. And
you can't beat Jimmy Stewart
Lloyd Nolan, Jimmy Cagney
and Jose Ferrer."

although no critic suggested
an operatic career, audiences
have found her sultry throati-
ness just one more asset of the
alluring Neff package.
Was GarbO Film
Miss Neff, who has starred
in films in a half dozen coun-
tries, is making her stage
debut in the Cole Porter show
which is based on the story,
about a Russian girl in Paris.
which Greta Garbo made as
the movie "Ninotchka."
Taking the role, green-eyed
Hildegarde confesses, made
her a bit nervous because it
had been Garbo's "and she is
so unique, a myth"
The sponsors explained that
the singing version was diff
ferent, so she accepted.
She Has Learned
II want to be as many types
of women as possible" says
Miss Nef of her career. Ora
matte parts have always been
nearer to me than light parts,
but have learned so much
in this play and widened my
perspective. 1t is very healthy
to keep trying different types"
The young lady who
abruptly switched at II from
art school to acting explains
that looking at myself as a
third person" helps her to
improve and also to keep the
theatrical Hildegarde and the
real Miss Neff separate.
Stage Yours Alone
She finds too that stage
acting is fantastically differ
ent from playing in films, so
why try to compare them?

This corner of the Sunday
drama section has been so ex-
clusively concerned with live
entertainment in recent weeks
that it might create the inn
preston we no longer go to
the movies. This is not the
case.
A man not only continues
to 90 to the movies, OF which
there are fewer to be sure.
but also to make notes out OF
which to make Sunday sum-
ming up columns after the
films have been reviewed.
AS these notes grow more
numerous, they can have a
disconcerting way Of. turning
on their author. They may
remind him. for instance, that
he has once more been reck-
less in the use of best" espe-
cially as descriptive Of the
years acting.
Too Many sBests"
AS of today, to face up to 1t,
we are possessed of three
"best" male performances for
1855. In the up-coming g
months, the same rate of pro-
ducing best performers would
result in a year-end total OF
six. This is an absurdity PAL
pable even to one whose tragic
flaw as a student was mathe-
matics, beginning with addl-
ton and ending miserably with
college algebra.
The first "best" performance
of the year was that of Ern-
est Borgnine in Marty" The
engaging. unhandsome, con-
yerted villain who made hero
of the Bronx butcher in that
Hecht-Lancaster charmer was
obviously unbeatable at the
time this reviewer saw the
picture. He was as much OF a
cinch, indeed. as Marion
Brando in 1954's ION The
Waterfront" a choice which
by the way did stand up
throughout it's entire year.
Rhapsodic reaction to Borg
mines acting was not con-
fined to any one critic. 1t was
occupationally epidemic, or to
say it more simply, Borgnine
was a unanimous choice to be
caught under a deluge OF
Oscars, medals, placques and
ribbons at the end of the year.
Came Glenn Ford
The first uneasy feeling that
the decision might be hasty
came to a number of reviewers,
including this one, when
Glenn Ford appeared as the
teacher in "The Blackboard
Jungle" ;" The picture itself
was the antithesis Of Marty"
as blood chilling indeed as the
other was heart-warming as
the critical cliches go.
Ford's portrait of the bat
tered idealist who kept on
trying to teach his homicidal
classroom was powerful act
ing, nevertheless. It was ef-
fortlessly the sort of thing
that could lure any self-ap-
pointed Judge into rating as
a "best."
Then, by way of stiffening
the impression that Ford had
come too long a way to be
ignored as a top man in Holly
wood, along came Interrupted
Melody"
Given two such powerful i'm
pressions Of him in so brief a
time, Borgnine's enthusiastic
ally committed followers began
to have a doubt. In the fash
ion of men who do not have to
make an instantaneous deci-
sion, they have been happy not
to make this one between Ford
and the man who played
Marty" But the deferment,
like so many others in this
world, is, only temporary.
This lis where Henry Fonda
comes in, providentially to the
extent that he has taken the

,BruziI in fhroes of
 new political crisis for presidency

RIO DE JANEIRO (P) A fresh political crisis afflicted Brazil today in the wake of an unsuccessful bid by Joao Cafe Filho to resume the presidency from which he took leave of absence two weeks ago.
 Bo.h houses of congress last night rejected his claim that he could take up again the functions of chief executive. Both passed a resolution that he must remain on leave until congress decides otherwise.
 At the same time, the army took firm measures l.o pre- serve the administration of provisional president Nereu Ramos, who was installed by a bloodless army coup on Nov. 10.
 The legislators So clearly were following the bidding of the army in rejecting Cafes return flo office that many in the capital speoulated that the country is heading for a military dictatorship. The ar my officers who have actual control may have to resort to force to retain it, they reason.
 Cafe was being held incom- municado at his apartment in the fashionable Copacabana district to which he returned from a hospital only yesterday Troops surrounded the build ing and barred all visitors. Telephone calls to the apar.- ment were interrupted.
 Dr. Raynundo de Brito, Ca fe's personal physician, went to the former presidents apart men: this morning and an am- bulance believed to be carry ing hospital equipment follow ed soon afterward. This led to speculation that Cafe had suf- fered a relapse. A heart at tack caused his retirement <. from office Oh Nov. 8.
