Myrno 10y, After Three Year Absence,
Faces the Movie Cameras Once Again

Those who have missed
Myrna 10y may now take
heart. Myrna returns to the
screen after a lapse of three
years to star with Olivia de
Havilland, John Forsythe and
Adolphe Menjou in 1.-The Am
bassador's Daughter"
1t was at the age of six that
Myrna, fired by performance
in her home town of Maeter-
linck's 1.-THE Blue Bird" made
up her mind to become an
actress. In the next 10 years,
she performed in every con-
ceivable kind of amateur
theatricals. At 16, she left
school, and went out into the
wide, wide world to win fame
and fortune as an actress
and /or dancer.
She gravitated to Hollywood.
BY virtue of her Sloe eyes
and high cheeckbones. she be-
came the incarnation of all
oriental vampires.
1t wasn't until she appeared
as William Powell's wife in
THE Thin Man" that Myrna
at last threw off the shackles
of mandatory oriental YAM
piry. For the first time it was
discovered by movie audiences
that she was really a whole

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 (R.-
Wearing a lavender skirt and
a sweater that left no room
for doubt, Kim Novak was
talking about her lavender
hair.
1.-THE color was designed es-
pecially for me and it's called
lavender champagne" she
explained in a lavender cham
payne voice.
Kim Novak's preoccupation
with lavender is nothing new.
The 23-year-old actress with
the 37-23-371a measurements
and green eyes first fell for
mauve tresseS at IS.
Since then she has moved
on to an extensive wardrobe
of predominantly the same
hue and-the latest manifes-
tation-a brand-new bachelor
girl apartment in Hollywood
done completely in lavender.
Privacy for Photos
1t seems a groundless cause
for concern, but Miss Novak,
according to a close friend, is
a little sensitive about that
37l2-inch hip measurement
1t explained, the friend whis-
pered, the heavy davender)
coat she was wearing with the
mercury at 81. It's also as
sumed to be the reason behind
her insistence on privacy, with
no idle audience, when she's
posing for pictures. She wants

be strictly Professionalism

photographer.
Once a casual visitor adjusts
to the dazzling facade. he may
realize he's in the company of
one Of Hollywood's genuine
charmers. Kim Novak, un-
known three years ago. has
ridden the crest of a noisy
publicity campaign and come
UP a star.
Life Much the Same
Her private life, she insists
is much the same as 1t was
and a lot different from the
public's idea Of a stars routine.
The main thing that's diff

HOLLYWOOD, AUG. IS
(NANA) Chances of a single
family producing even one
movie star are probably one in
several millions, but the odds
against two members coming
out of the same household hit
ting the Hollywood jackpot are
virtually astronomical. Yet.
despite this, it has happened
and more often than you'd
think possible.
A good current example are
the Pierangelis. Two daughters
of this Italian family have
both risen to stardom stimuli
taneously. They are Pier
Angel, who split the family
name for professional purposes.
and her lovely brunette sister,
Mariss Pavan, now co-staring
at Univer sal International
with Tony Curtis in THE
Eyes of Father Tomasino."
Making Up Ground
Another odd fact about these
sisters is that they are twins,
though not identical. Pier got
her start first and was at the
top before Marisa even began,
but Marisa is making up that
lost ground fast-winning an
Academy nomination last year
for best supporting actress in
The Rose Tattoo" and now
playing one of the most promis-
ing roles of her short career in
"Tomasino."
The Pierangeli twins are not
exactly unique in Hollywood,
for several other sisters have
won top rating. Perhaps the
best known are Olivia de
Havilland and Joan Fontaine,
each of whom, by the way. has
won an Oscar, which really
does make them unique in

With Her Personal Problems Solved,
Gail Russell Resumes Film Career

Gail Russell joins the back
to-work movement with War;
ners' Seven Men From Now"
in which she returns to the
screen to costar with Randolph
Scott and Lee Marvin. Seven
Men" is the lovely actress
first picture in five years.
Gail retired from movies
after "Air Cadet" in 1851 to
become a full-time housewife.
Following her divorce from
Guy Madison. personal prob
lens complicated her life. Re-
Gently, after much serious
thought, Miss Russell decided
to resume her acting career.
Gail, now convinced that
movie-making fulfllls "a great
need" in her life. says she ex-
poets to take no more vaca-
tons from films. Its so good
to be working again. she said
on completing Seven Men
From Now" 81 intend to keep
busy as long as they'll have me
around"
Paramount sighed Gail
Russell to make her movie
debut in Henry Aldrich Gets
Glamour" in 1912. Gail was
II. fresh out of high school
and without a days dramatic
training to her name. A studio
executive, attracted by her
beauty and charm, tested her,
and, to his pleasant surprise,
discovered that he had a
potential actress on his hands
NOT just a pretty face.
Gail thereupon began act
ing lessons, which she con-
tinued long after making her
first picture. In rapid success
session, after Henry Aldrich,"
Gail appeared with Ginger
Rogers in Lady In the Dark"
with Ray Milland and Cornelia
Otis Skinner in THE I'm
invited" and, a few months
after that, portrayed Miss
Skinner in the movie, Our
Hearts Were Young and Gay"
OF screen, Gail paints,
working both in oils and with

the archery range and uses

Passersby from Hollywood
in the spring kept telling this
correspondent about "the new
Grace Kelly"
Making High Society,"" her
final film for MGM, she was a
girl in love. betrothed, happy.
mature and warmer, they said.
In view of the fact that she
had done SO well heretofore,
with less IF these qualities and
on the basis of her innate ra-
diant elegance, this made Miss
Kelly's High Society" per-
Torrance one to anticipate.
1t was the more to be
awaited in view of the fact
that her role in the picture was
one created by an older girl,
Katharine Hepburn. Miss Hep
burn, as Tracy Lord in 1.-THE
Philadelphia Story" was the
perfect blend of fire and ice
that Miss Kelly, running more
to ice, had never achieved.
Comparison Invited
Well, High Society" ar
rived in Washington yesterday.
Now everyone has a chance to
see what love did for Miss
Kelly's acting and to compare
her performance with Miss
Hepburn's.
The comparison is not OBJ
literating, but neither is it
especially fiattering. Miss Kelly
is a beautiful Tracy Lord, and
quite winning as she always has
been. Unlike Miss Hepburn.
however. even in such starry
company and in one of the
years inevitably most popular
pictures, she does not conceal
the fact that Philip Barry'S
play was not much to begin
with. In other words. there is
less to it than met the eye
almost 20 years ago.
When Miss Kelly, then 6 or
Z, and living in Philadelphia.
was too young to go to the
theater to see THE Philadel-
phia Story"
1t could be debated - and
more than likely will be, and
hotly-that the treatment OF
the new film version makes a
direct comparison between the
two performances unfair. High
Society" is a musical version
of THE Philadelphia Story
AS adapted by John Patrick
("Teahouse of the August
Moon"O, it's flavor is less tart
as BELTS not only a musical
comedy but one that make;
use of two such amiable per-
formers as Bing Crosby and
Louis Armstrong.
Katie a Center
In its original form, more
