PARIS.-At IS, Jean Sc
berg Of MarShalltown, Iowa,
played a saint on the screen
and'was a failure.
At %, she has scored sue
cess as the free-love heroine
of New Wave" films of
France.
Social commentators and
moralistS can make what
they will of this. They'll get
no help from Miss Seberg,
who sees nothing significant
in her experience. Nor does
she identify herself with the
kind of role she has been
portraying-a sort Of mid
century lost generation.
1--WE been making films in
France about people I'm not
really interested in" she says.
They are people whose
greatest problem in life is
where they are going to
have dinner that night"
Significant or no, the Sc
berg saga is one Of the most
interesting ones of recent
movie times. Jean is the
slim, fresh-faced girl who
was plucked from obScurity
by Otto Preminger to play
the title role in "St. JOAN"
DOubly Burned
. She is still slim and fresh
faced, but her voice bears a,
maturity beyond her years.
There is good reason for
that. In four short years.
she has experienced as rough
a going -over as many an &C
treSs endures in a lifetime.
II have two memories of
st. JOAN" she recalled.
The first was being burned
at the stake in the picture.
The second was being burned
at the stake by the critics.
The latter hurt more.
81 was scared like a rabbit,
and it showed on the screen.
It was not a good experience
at all. I started where most
actresses end up"
Her career nearly ended
up after one more film for
Preminger, "Bonjour iris
tesse." Shaw or Sagan, the
critics roasted her. 1t was
enough to make Preminger
give up on his protege and
sell her contract to Co
lumbia.
Fortunately for her, the
studio was patient. She also
had the fortune to be adopt
ed by a group of young
French film critics who saw
value in her "Bonjour iris
Jesse" performance. They
were to turn directors and
cause a burst of creative en-
ergy that would startle the
film world as the New
Wave"
Miss Seberg was cast as
the promiScuous sweetheart
of a Partisan gendarme-kill-
er in "Breathless." The film
was a hit and so was she.
Three films have followed:

NEW YORK.-Inga Sven
son is a Nordic goddess from
Omaha. She has captivating
beauty, serenity, and a
growing reputation as one Of
the finest young actresses on
Broadway. In a few months
all America viii be seeing her
in her first motion picture.
1.-THE Miracle Worker"
1 called on Inga at the
Film Production Center on
West Twenty sixth street,
where william GibSon'S long
running play is being re-
created for the screen. Still
q bit sleepy-eyed from a
noontime nap, she sat and
talked with bewitching can
dor of this new experience in
films, Of differences between
movies and the stage, Of her
unseen role in "Camelot," Of
her husband and children. q.
In 1.-THE Miracle Worker"
Inga plays the tormented
mother Of deaf-mute Helen
Keller, aged 7 In this drama,
but now 81 and justly re-
nowned throughout the
world. The fiery Anne Ban
croft is seen as Helen's first
teacher, Annie Sullivan, and
Patty Duke plays the wild
and untamed Helen.
A Real SIugger
Patty is little but she's
got a heck of a slug" said
Inga. There's a scene in
which she Slaps me. After
about Is times I thought my
head would fall off. We don't
fool around-Arthur Penn
is not that kind of a director.
1--WE always loved movies,
although ] never wanted to
do one particularly. I didn't
want one of those seven
year contracts. But I admired
this play so much I wanted
to do it as. a movie. Anne
Bancroft is the only actress
I ever wrote a fan letter to,
and she never got it."
For her role Inga is made
up to look much older than
she is, which is a pity.
They've put circles under
her eyes, and given her hol-
low cheeks and a severe
hair-do. In only one scene
is she allowed to look an ap-
Proclamation Of her beauti-
full self.
Theater'S Thrilling
I'm getting to like this
more" she said Soberly. cat

is fun, and 1 like the whole

ting important offers from
Hollywood and Broadway.
The life of an Iowa girl in
Paris is something that might
make quite a film some day.
She first came here three
years ago as the wife of a
young French lawyer, Fran
co.'s Moreuil.
II got married for all the
wrong reasons" she said. Il
married because I was afraid
and beaten, because I wanted
to be protected"
The marriage lasted a VIC
lent two years. She went
home to Marshalltown to tell
her family of her decision.
"They took it very well. con-
sidering there had never
been a divorce in our family"
Jeans 80-year-old grand
mother chaperoned her back
to Paris while she fulfilled

a promise to Moreuil to act
in the first film he directed"
THE Recreation"
1T was pure hell" she
said. HE would scream at
me and then I would cry and
grandmother would try to
patch things up"
A Touch of Iowa
Grandma has gone home to
write a book about her ad-
ventures as the belle of Paris,
and Jean now lives with nine
cats "a recent litter in a
Paris apartment. She wears
French fashions and speaks
the language well but still
with a touch of Iowa. A
famed drama coach is trying
to rid her of 1t. Then she
can avoid the scene which
she said appears in all her
French films
He (leaning against the
barr: You're America n,
aren't you?
She (smolderinglyl: Yes,
but I'm more French than
any of you.
OF her Paris life she said,
I'm enjoying it to the full
est extent. I've been tremen-
dously lucky to have gone
through this experience at
an age where I can still
learn"
But, she added, THAT
doesn't mean that I will stay
here. I'm in Paris because my
work has been here. I'm not
an expatriate. I will go
where my work is"
The French life has its
drawbacks, she said. One of
them is the formality.
II miss that caSualness and
friendliness of Americans,
the kind that makes people
smile. I also miss blue jeans,
milk shakes, thick steaks
and supermarkets. I'm glad 1
always have that ticket
home"

days ago the Production
Code Administration, Holly
woods self-censoring body,
reversed itself in the case
Of two films. Seals of ap-
prevail were given 1.-THE Moon
Is Blue" and 1.-THE Man With
the Golden ARM" released
with bravado but without
approval when Otto Premin-
ger made them.
THE Moon Is Blue" re-
leased in 1858, was refused
a seal originally because it
was considered to treat
adultery with unseemly
frivolity. There were many
who thought at the time
that this refusal was q bit
harsh, inasmuch as all the
frivolous talk led to not a
single immoral deed. And as
a play by r. Hugh Herbert
the comedy ran for q couple
of seasons on Broadway and
was taken all over the
country by q veritable pla-
toon Of touring companies
without sending any on
locker into a state Of shock.

lights, and you go to your
dressing room and say hello
to everybody while the audi
ence is rustling around out
front. It's thrilling and ro-
mantle.
1.-The motion picture bus
mess is not like that at all.
You get there at 6 am. and
they spend two hours fixing
your hair and face. You go to
the set and the lights are all
white and there's nothing
pretty about it. But the
toughest part Of it is that the
woman I play is in agony
much of the time and you
get yourself in q state at 8
in the morning and have to
do that scene over and over"
On and Off Broadway
>Inga has appeared on
Broadway in New Faces Of
1856" and in THE First
Gentleman" with Walter
Slezak. She has : appeared
off-Broadway with the
Shakespearewrights and did
a season Of top roles ct the
Shakespeare Festival The
alter in Stratford, Conn. She
Is also a singer-light So
prano.
For several months she has
been the standby for Julie
Andrews in "Camelot," but
has never gone on for her.
During her junior year at
Northwestern University she
was married to a fellow stu
dent, Lowell Harris, who is
studying for an opera career.
They have two children, Mark
Edward, z, and James Mont
gomery, l, and a home in
Tenafly, N. j. She commutes
to New York by bus.
Nov that I have a home
and children, my whole out
look has changed. You see
all these thousands of actors
grinding away and you won
der why they're doing it. It
may sound corny but Tn no
longer interested in being a
big star. II my husband
makes 1t in opera, and I'm
sure he will, I won't have to
take every role that comes
along. But I want to keep
working now and then. You
have to be true to yourself"

THE PASSING SHOW
Production Code
HosNew,Weopon

In finally granting the
film approval, Godfrey M.
Shurlock has demonstrated
himself to be a man big
enough for his job as head
Of the Production Code Ad-
miniStration. withholding
the seal originally was a
mistake, he said and he is
in q position to know. He
is the man who refused APP
proval Of both 1.-THE Moon
Is Blue and "The Man
With the Golden Arm"
The latter film was the
center of more controversy
when it was released in 1856.
1t was about dope addiction,
a subject then fatty pro-
hibited by the Motion Pic
ture Associations production
code. 1t did not make drug
addiction attractive as a way
Of life, but the rule was
plain and the Preminger
film violated it.
This gave 1.-THE Man With
the Golden Arm" the sim
gular distinction Of being APP
proved by the Catholic Le-
gion Of Decency while refused
a seal by the Production
Code Administration. This
made United Artists, which
released both pictures, so
irate it resigned from (but
later rejoineO the Motion
Picture Association.
The Code Changed
1.-THE Man With the
Golden Arm" hasn't changed
since then, but the produc-
ton code has, having caught
up, as it were, with the facts
of life. Narcotics addition no
longer is taboo as a film
subject If properly handled.
1t is only fitting; of course,
that the Frank Sinatra-
starring picture should get
its better-late- than-never
seal Of approval. 1t was the
fuss over it that set off the
agitation in Hollywood that
led to the liberalization of
the production code.
Ironically, this issuance of
seals to a pair Of previously
unapproved movies can not
be credited to Mr.. Preminger,
a man who long and often
has declared himself in the
forefront Of the battle
against censorship. It was
United Artists, with plans to
reissue the two films as a
double bill, that quietly
sought and achieved the code
Administrations reversal OF
itself.
They Made Money
The seal now makes avail
able a large number Of
theaters that refuse to play
unapproved films. Neither of
these pictures, however, Suf-
fered unduly at the box Of
flee when originally released
without approval. 1.-THE
Moon Is Blue" has crossed
So million, according to re-
port, and 1.-THE Man With
the Golden Arm" must have
come close to that. But ad-
ditional income without any
great additional expense will
not make United Artists or
Mr.. Preminger unhappy.
The likelihood Of further
income by sale or lease of
the films to televiSion after
the reissue is what makes
TV a factor in the relation
ship between movie makers
and code administration.
TeleviSion, as you I'M
doubtedly are aware, has
been undergoing some severe
pummeling here of late.
Those responsible for TVS
programming could safely
ignore their critics in the
great nowhere that is west
of New York and for a long
time did ignore them. Then
a fellow named Newton D.
Minow became chairman of
the Federal Communications
Commission and let it be
known that he, too, was
nauseated by some of video's
drivel.
Powerful Weapon
In consequence the pro-
gram people are terribly

DEAR ABBY
She's ExDendubIe!
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: My husband
had not been acting like him
self for about six months. I
finally got it out of him. He
said it all started when he
gave his bookkeeper a few
kisses occasionally because
he couldn't afford to give her
a raise. He says now she
isn't satisfied with kisses,
and keeps pestering him to
meet her somewhere after
work. He swears he doesn't
want to get involved with
her, but he can't let her 60
because she is the best book
keeper he has ever had, and
couldn't run the business
without her.
I told my husband I would
forgive him for the past, but
I wouldn't tolerate anything
he does in the future. He
promised to give her the cold
shoulder. Do you think 1
should insist that he fire her?
MOTHER OF THREE
1t is pretty hard to give a
girl the cold shoulder" after
she's been given the hot lips.
Your husband should get an
other bOOkkeeper. What does
it profit a man to keep his
business in the black when
his marriage is in the red?
~
DEAR ABBY: I read with
interest your advice that men
who work around machinery
should not wear a ring be-
cause it could catch in the
machinery and they could
lose a finger. How about a
ring that is so tight 1
can't get it off?
WORKS AROUND
MACHINERY
Better to have the ring cut
off now than after you lose
your finger.
DEAR ABBY: I would like
to have your help, or the
help of someone who has had
to face this problem, because
l don't know whet to do. My
children are IA, 13 and IL.
Their father has been in
prison for 9 years. He was
sentenced to serve for a life
term, so 1 don't think he will
ever be a free man.

Remember the "old woman
who lived in a shoe and had
so many children she didn't
know what to do?" Well, if
she were around today 1
would have a good suggestion
for her.
I have seen so many base
ment recreation rooms that
have fallen into diSuSe lately.
The popularity of dragging
guests down cellar" for a
drink or a game of rummy
or darts seems to have
waned. Now, my idea for that
woman with all those chill
dren would be to turn the
old recreation room over to
the pig-tail crowd of all ages.
A sand box in one corner
could keep the youngest quiet.
The ping pong table, which
was never used by the
Older" members could work
off some of the excess en-
ergy of the 'teenerS. A work
bench in another corner
could prove an interesting
project for the masculine
juniors. And a televiSion set
would keep quite a mixed
crowd quiet on a rainy day.
And don't forget that
welding a paint brush with
some bright color on the end
of it can do wonders. So
spruce up the old wreck"
room and turn it over to
the younger members of So
ciety in your family or
pass the suggestion along to
that woman in your neigh
borhood who has so many
children she doesn't know
what to do"
