HOLLYWOOD. (P)-Anita
Ekberg. most poplar Swedish
import since l00-proof akavit,
is committing what amounts
to heresy in the Hollywood
glamor mill.
She's become a serious ac-
tress.
La Ekberg, all woman and
39l2 inches wide where it
counts, is playing a timid, sub
missive bride in Valerie" a
post Civil War story.
It's a part that would be
made to order for an Eleanor
Parker or a Teresa Wright,
but producer Hal Makelim
said he lost $4,000 on his
last producing venture so he
cast Ekberg.
II thought I was just buy
ing an international name
who would lure ticket buyers. I"
he admits, But hadn't
counted on getting an actress
in the bargain"
Never Had a Chance
AS Anita and Sterling Hay
den went through one of the
most dramatic scenes of the
picture the girl handled the
take flawlessly.
Asked how she acquired the
smooth technique she said:
1--WE never had a chance to
act before. I always tell pro-
ducers I wanted most to be an
actress but they always say,
Honey, girls that have what
you have don't need to know
anything about acting
Even in War and Peace
they dubbed my voice-and
with a British accent, yet.
They Just wanted me to look
beautiful and not strain my
self, guess"
Anita is fighting an old
Hollywood notion that anyone
with a flair for publicity lacks
dramatic ability. Marilyn
Monroe had to stage a cele-
brated sit-down strike to
prove herself.
She's Grateful .
Anita is grateful for all pub
licity had done for her--it
made her an international
femme fatale-but she still
doesn't understand how it all
got started.
Part Of it is press agentry,
she admits. but some of her
biggest stories were not. For
instance, a big newspaper syn
dictate did a series on the loves
OF Gregory Peck, before he
married his present wife.
Anita was prominently fea-
tured in the series.

THE PASSING SHOW
A Critics Pity Is Wasted
On Shining Women Stars
THE PASSING SHOW

Obviously. even when they
try. critics are unmatched in
gallantry. BY mites of girls,
to make it worse.
There is. however, one COM
forting thought about the
girls, namely that they DOM
mate today'S theater regard
less of any reservations on
the part of the critics. The
stage. indeed. is Uttered with
feminine success stories at
the moment, so many of them
triumphs of popularity over
hapless vehicles and unhappy
critical reservations.
"Auntie Mama" with Rosa
lind Russell, is a prize speci-
men, In the main. the reviews
of her play were rueful love
letters to Miss Russell that
she did, not have better ma
terlal. Miss Russell and her
public found this critical atti-
tude only a little less funny
than "Auntie Name"
Who cared, other than the
critics, that this riotous hero
inc found herself in a reckless
slice of theater instead of a
tidily written production? The
answer is that nobody cared
and that apparently Miss Rus
sell can turn "Auntie Name"
into a life work if she wishes.
They're Invincible
Two other impregnable girls
are equally popular on Broad
way in spite of the laments
of the critics that they are
worthy of better things than
they are appearing in.
One of these is Ethel Mer-

oh. yes. critics also take
stock at this season and not
merely with respect to "bests"
among plays, motion pictures,
and performers.
Like other human beings,
their inventories cover them
selves and the lives they lead.
These latter have their little
painful asides which frequent
~ turn out to be quite lasting.
Into this category, fall the
experiences which leave a
critic feeling that being I'M
gallant is qualification for
his work. One must say such
rude things. the rudeness of

fact that the thing said rep

Having made due note of
the voice exception, the critic
later explained to Miss Har-
rigan: 1T made me very I'M
happy to pick on such a small
and talented girl. Especially
when you were otherwise Won

NEW YORK. R.-An
odd-mixed group Of folk from
everywhere will in this new
year turn longing gaze toward
Broadway's glitter.
Among them, a grandmother
or two. a cop. an airline stew

lege prof and perhaps a teen
age dreamer.
Later on. such places as Tai

will see what the cop, the kid
and others have been up to.
Very simply, what they've
been doing is writing-and
learning to write-for the
theater. Each hopes, with a
mad variety of style ranging
from classic to experimental
and even something called
tragic farce" to emulate
Shakespeare, Shaw and o.
Neill. Each yearns to be a
great playwright-or anyway,
a successful one.
To provide direction and
organization to such aspiring
thespic talent. a small Office
near the White Way works
with diligence and determine
tion. The organization is
called the New Dramatists
Committee, created by leaders
of the profession as a talent
clearing house.
