Every little girl is presumed to
go through' a period during which
she is determined to be an actress,
just like little boys at some point
are determined to be cops or fire
men. But being an actress is just one
of the so-called "glamor profes
sions" nowadays. The olliers in
clude radio, television, modeling,
advertising, book publishing, maga

Newspaper jobs have been tight

Advertising always has more ap

HOLLYWOOD When Sydney

moment affair.
Greenstreet doesn't just stand up
in front of the camera and toss the
telephone. Greenstreet' doesn't
toss it at all. A man named Her
bert Plews does, and he practices
six weeks to make sure he doesn't
hit the target.
"I finally made her change her
hairdo," Plews said. "She put a
puff of hair out in front that the
telephone would move when it
brushed by her forehead. Makes it
more real."
Plews, as producer Michael Cur

charge of ustng the properties to

bodies, and Plews'd be out of a job.

But the main point is that there

I can speak personally only
about newspaper work. And news

Suggestions For
Lenten Meals
By CECILY BROWNSTONE
(AP Newsfeatures!
SPICY RED CABBAGE
Ingredients: 1 small onion, 1
one-and-three-quarter pound head
red cabbage, 2 tablespoons butter
or margarine, 1 large medium-tart
cooking apple, Vi cup light brown
sugar, 5 tablespoons cider vinegar,
1 teaspoon salt 'about), freshly
ground pepper (to taste).
Method: Peel and finely dice
onion; there should be about Vi
cup. Itemove any soiled outside
leaves of red cabbage, quarter head
and cut away core. Shred medium
coarse with a sharp knife there
should be about 4'i cups, firmly
packed. Melt butter or margarine
in a medium-sized skillet; add
onion and cook for about 5 min
utes, stirring frequently. Peel,
quarter, and core apple. Add red
cabbage to skillet; slice apple over
cabbage in thin lengthwise slices.
Mix onion, cabbage, and apple to
gether well and continue to cook
over lovi heal for about 5 minutes,
stirrinR frequently. Add brown sug
ar, vinegar, salt and pepper and
mix well. Cover and cook over low
to moderate heat, stirring occa
sionally, until cabbage is tender
crisp and apples are a deep red
color about 30 minutes; there will
be practically no liquid left in pan.
Makes 4 to 5 servings.
Note: If you like salt used spar
ingly add only half he amount giv
en at first, adding more to suit
taste. I like as much as l'i tea
spoons of salt used in this recipe
TUNA FISH CUPS
Ingredients: 2 cups hot milk, 1
cup fine soft bread crumbs, 1
teaspoon, salt, 1 tablespoon pre
pared mustard, 1 tablespoon finely
grated onion, 1 seven-ounce can
tuna fish (including oil from can),
4 eggs.
Method: Add the bread crumbs,
salt, mustard and onion to the hot
milk. Add tuna fish and mix well
so fish is evenly distributed. Beat
eggs thoroughly with electric mix
er or rotary beater and add gradu
ally to first mixture, blending them
in with a spoon as you do so. Turn
into greased custard cups; place
cups in a pan of hot water so -water
comes well up on cups; bake in a
moderate (350 F.) oven for about
45 minutes or until a small knife
inserted in center comes out clean.
Insert small spatula around rim of
each cup to loosen fish mold an in
vert to remove. Makes 8 small cups.
In "Flamingo Road" you see the
purple-faced Greenstreet grabbing
the phone and then you see it sail
ing through the air, scraping Miss
Crawford and shattering a mirror
behind her. What you don't see is
Plews doing the actual throwing.
It's Tricky Business
In "The Octopus and Miss
Smith" Plews is devising a way for
Morgan to burn Miss Wyman in a
place nobody talks about without
Miss Wyman getting hurt. She is
bent over on the floor in the back
of an automobile when Morgan
throws his arm over the front seat
and rests his cigarette against her.
"The secret is in what she wears
under her dress," Plews said. "I
can't take any chances on scorchjng
her. But of course it has lo look
realistic."
Plews pushed F.ve Arden over a
pile of suitcases in another movie.
She landed on her face on some
mats and everbody. including Miss
Arden, got a good laugh.
"All I ask is co-operation," he
said. "I don't expect any trouble
with Miss Wyman. If she listens to
me, she won't get hurt."
PINEAPPLE SWEET POTATOES,
ON THE HALF SHELL
Ingredients: 4 small sweet pota
toes il pound), 2 tablespoons but
ter or margarine, 'a nine-ounce
can sweetened crushed pineapple
not drained i'j cup) . teaspoon
salt. 2 teaspoons light brown

Film Fight last
But Fans Won t
HOLLYWOOD (UP) Alan Ladd
has spent three days battling
through a mtivie fight which only
your eat will be able to see.
Ladd leaped off balconies, tum
bled down stairs, dodged wine kegs
and wielded bottles In almost com
plete darkness. Movie theaters
serving this picture snomu or.
carrots at the entrance to improve
-mctr.mprs' niaht sight. Otherwise.
i,t will take a cat's eyes to tell ex
actly what's going on.
Paramount staged the fight tor
After Midnight" in the cataromh
ed, dungeon-like cellar of an old
Italian castle. It's done on especi
ally sensitive film, which picks up
a surprising amount ot light troia
a flickering candle and flashes of
gun shots.
Ladd is lured into the dungeon
hv two treacherous Ilalians, Fran
cis Lederer and George Lewis, who
have the intention of doing him in.
Ladd gets the idea when he sees a
Jtnife flashing towards hiin. He
can't see the villains either, how
ever, so it takes him longer than
par to polish them off.
Perfect Timing Needed
"Hardest fight I ever did." Ladd
puffed after he rolled down 15
steps while beating Lederer with a
bottle. "It's not only hard physical
ly, but there's so little light yoir
timing has to be perfect. '
Instead of shooting the same
piece of action three times for long
shots, medium shots and closeups,
director Mitchell Leisen used at
least two cameras all through the
scene, filming all the different
angles at the same time.
While the candles flicker through
the cellar. Lewis and Ladd chase
up a flight of stairs, grapple on a
balcony, roll off and crash into a
pile of wine barrels. Ladd leaps be
hind a table as Lederer starts
shooting. With one hand, Ladd
tosses a wine rack laden with hun
dreds of bottles on Lewis, ,and with
the other he belabors Lederer with
a wine bottle. The two of them roll
down more stairs, and the three
meet at the bottom for a brawl
to the death.
Ladd was nursing bruises and
aches when he limped off after
the third day of the fight. But no
body got seriously hurt.
