HOLLYWOOD, Sept. l. -
Hollywood strikes back at the
scandal magazines with its
most lethal weapon - the
movie expose.
MGM is making ISLANDER"
which, if it follows the script,
will make the opponents of
boudoir and skeleton in-the-
closet journalism the heaviest
heavies since Richard Wild
mark pushed the old lady in
the wheelchair downstairs.
Steve Cochran plays the
publisher of a magazine called
"The Whole Truth" and he is
portrayed so black in the
movie that finally his own
mother kills him.
"And even that is labeled as
q mercy killing" says Coch-
ran.
steve, VINO has played some
real meanies in HIS time, adj
mits that the publisher role is
his meanest yet.
So Hateable. He
Even with half-trying, I'll
have everybody in the country
hating me - especially the
scandal magazines them
selves" he adds.
In brief, the plot is like this:
Van johnson, q puppeteer
who barely supports his wife
(Ann Blyth) and his son with
appearances in small clubs and
children's parties gets tele-
vision break. He soon becomes
the idol of millions of chill
dren a la Davy Crockett.
Then Cochran learns that
johnson, in his youth, once
was arrested for armed as
sault. The publisher ap-
proaches johnson and offers to
withhold the story if johnson

AS evident later in her vol

This was more or less inevitably
the quality about her that was

a girl who looked like that until
she herself sickened Of it all

sight as well as the more ele-
mental kind. Her blond in this
film was not so dumb as fatally
innocent. Miss Monroe's per-
Torrance made the distinction
between the two clear enough
to unsettle the critics as she
had heretofore been unset
ting to others.
Marilyn Submerged
Her Cheri in BUS Stop" is
complete confirmation of what
Miss Monroe said all along,
that given q chance she could
be an actress. In William
Inge's violent idyll Of a third
rate, shopworn "chantoosie"
pursued by an innocent and
primitive cowboy. she plays a
character.
This Is to say that, under
Mr.. Logan's direction, she her
self seems altogether unaware
of Marilyn Monroe. She is
creating something like, but
entirely apart from, herself.
This is a girl putting up a des-
perate but losing fight to save
whatever remnants of honor
she may possess from a sutton
who thinks to love gives him
title to a girl.
The screen has seen nothing
more uproarious all season, a
version Of Inge's work that is
much better than anything
achieved on the stage in its
original form.
AS a result, this critic among
others if suddenly asked what
Arthur Miller saw in Miss Mon
roe. would reply: An actress.
The question, of course, is
foolish. The answer is not.

If Marilyn Monroe could be
even considered as the type
who needed to storm barriers,
she could be said to have
finally scaled one Of the
toughest.
Thanks to BUS Stop" her
third comedy role, she is now
being hailed by the critics as
the actress they did not even
suspect to exist in the era's
most perilously shaped film
star.
Critics, something Of q pa
riah group by the nature of
their work, are the last to Join
mass movements.
OF these public romps, or
band-wagon projects. the very
last to entice them are those
inspired by actresses who are
won't to explode on the screen.
This is not because reviewers
are impervious to the type
known in the trade as the sex
bomb. 1t follows rather from
the circumstance that, pro-
fessionally speaking, they are
looking for fresh creative tai
ents instead of merely a fresh
variation of a shape that al
ways has primarily created
havoc. Especially among males.
which the majority of critics
happen to be.
They Even ScOff
This makes the reviewer not
merely slow to join the fan
followings of a Miss Monroe
or Gina Lollobrigida, it makes
them scott at the very idea
they ever will join. Their
tastes run instead to spare, or
sparse. girls like Julie Harris
whose glow is artistic. The
very essence Of egg-headed-
ness this may be, but this is
how critics are.
The belated capitulation Of
critics to Miss Monroe as a
superb CONFERENCE.-The critic
gleefully included-is not as
much Of a surprise to them as
1t should be.
Among critics. there has
been a lot Of curiosity. intel
lectual naturally. about Miss
Monroe.
They have made it their
business to interrogate Miss
Monroe's associates in pictures
on such oblique questions as
"just what It's like TO work
with her"
The answers to this question
have been unanimous in favor
Of Miss Monroe.

asked. And Josh Logan who
directed her in BUS Stop" and
Sir Laurence Olivier who had
a much better reason than a
publicity sensation to select
her as his co-star In The

These are film makers who
have no need for the startling
gesture to call attention to
their work. They have the
