Little Old New York

NEW YORK.

When he was a kid in York
vile, the old German section
of New York City, if somebody
had suggested to James Gag
ney that he'd become one of
the most initiated performers
in show business, Cagney
would have called the nearest
cop. In the first place, Gag
ney would have rejected the
idea that he'd ever become an
actor. That came about quite
accidentally, as a matter of
fact.
When his father died, young
Cagney had to find a job. A
young friend told him that a
man in the neighborhood. who
was producing vaudeville
shows, was looking for singers
and that the money was pretty
good.
Cagney looked up the man.

danced a step, assured him
that he was 6 dancing fool.

The Passing Show
The Passing Show
ostes in Girls Varied
And Geraldine Page, at Shubert, Shows Why
Broadway Takes ArtistieoIy Gifted Ones
BY Jay cormody

One of the major differences
between Broadway and Holly
wood is in their tastes in girls.
Both think of the gifted"
type but the gifts they have in
mind are as far apart, to be
tactful about it, as mind and
matter.
Washington at the moment
is blessed with an approx
mately perfect illustration of
this truth. She is a tall, f1ex-
ible girl who melts into even
small crowds as easily as. say,
Lana Turner stands out in
large ones. Nevertheless, she
is the most exciting member
of her sex in the legitimate
theater where excitement is the
more admirable for being less
easily stimulated.
This delightful visitor is
Geraldine Page whose career
started with stardom and is
100 to l to end the same way,
possibly several decades after
Jane Russell has dwindled
into oblivion. Rich oblivion,
of course.
She's Surprised, Too
Miss Page, starring now in
THE Rainmaker" at the Shu-
bert Theater. could not be more
surprised at what has hap
pened to her. A clear-eyed,
sensible girl, it never occurred
to her to start at the top. The
New York critics catapulted
her there when they went
downtown to see the off,
Broadway production of Ten

has affirmed it.
Two fairly fast f1ops between
Summer and Smoke" and
1.-The Rainmaker" found her
not merely exonerated COM
pletely but glowingly praised
for doing so we'll by them.
Her performance in the
THE Rainmaker" makes it
amply clear why this should
be. The character she plays
with such hilarious results is
quite a timeworn one in its
surface dimensions. This is
the gangling, unwed daughter
of a farm family whose males.
a father and two brothers, are
deeply disturbed by Lizzie
Curry's incipient spinSterhood.
She Goes for Depth
Being superbly gifted ac-
tress, Miss Page is altogether
unfeazed by the tired facade Of
Lizzie as a comedy character.
She is prepared to give every
one fresh and altogether
delightful insight into the
Lizzie Currys of the world. to
transform their very undeslr-
ability into its opposite. Such
girls, her performance makes
clear, are both more amusing
and pathetic than anyone else
has revealed them.
N. Richard Nash, who wrote
1.-The Rainmaker," is not to be
overlooked entirely in this
happy result. He supplied the
outline of the character which
Miss Page completes so wildly.
He gives her every encour-

Memory Dit II
The character that Cagney
was to impersonate in the
flicker was a tough guy. 1t
seemed to him that his char
acterization would be strength

mannerism that would lift the
role out of the run-of -the-mill

In the following years, he
became a legend. Columnists

Brando's one great regret is
that he let this publicity get
out of hand. He admits that
he contributed to some of it.
He is thankful that he is not
a conventional type-"I can
think of nothing duller."
But the publicity made me
look pretty stupid" he re-
marked.
Far from being rude, Brando

in the acting field today.

"Sure, it's an honor, and it's
very pleasant to know that
your work is appreciated. But
I haven't thought. much about

Brando, whose short hair
swept forward over his classic
forehead, wore a colorful outfit.
Over the inevitable T-shirt was
a light-colored sport coat and
he had on harmonizing slacks
and dark blue sport shoes and
socks. A red silk muff1er was
raped around his neck and he
wore dark glasses most of the
time. He looked the role of the
movie star.
What with owning tuxedos
and homburgs, it looked as
though the Omaha-born ac-
tors dress habits have changed. :
I asked him about this.
I'm not so much at odds
with general conventions" he
admitted. IF you're going to
live in society. you have to
make concessions. Even the
wearing of clothes is a conces-
sion. You can't fight these
things or people will beat you
to death. Q
I asked if he could remember
when he first wanted to be an
actor.
About a year ago." he re-
piled. THAT may sound ridic-
ulous, but it's true. I fell into
the acting business more or
less by chance. I never really
felt that it was what I wanted
to do.
