Monday Aite PAGE SEC THE WAYNBSVJU45 MOUNTAINEER Two More Actors To Enter New film Club HOLLYWOOD UP) Holly wood's "Life Begins at 70" club will admit two new members late this year. Sydney Greenstrest anrl Lewis Stone will celt-brute their TOtli birthdays during the fall. Then thev ioin the three charter mem bers of the club Lionel Barry more, 70, Edmund Gwenn, 71. and Charles Coburn. 72. The quintet of veteran actor were coincidentally all at Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer at the same time, where they gave the youngsters a lesson in trouping Greenstreet and 1? a r r y m o r e worked togethtr in "Malaya" with Spencer Tracy and Jimmy Stewart Coburn acted with Glenn Ford and Janet Leigh in "The Doctor and the Girl." Gwenn worked with Lassie in "Challenge to Lassie " And Stone completed "Stars in My Crown" just in time to join Clark Gable and Loretta Young in "Key to the City." The 280-pound Greenstreet is the apprentice of the group. He played his first role only eight years ago. On Stage 41 Years "I'm still just learning the busi ness," he admitted. But before he came to movies he appeared on the stage for 41 years. Greenstreet performed with Sir Herbert Tree. Margaret Anglin. Julia Marlowe, Viola Allen and the Lunts. He appeared in every Shakespearan play in the produc tion repertory of recent years. He toured every major city in America, his native British Isles, and Canada. India. Italy, France. Malta and Africa. Only once, since he began acting at the age of 21. has Greenstreet given it up. "I decided to become a tea plant er In Ceylon." he said. "But I found tea plants boring. I sold out and went back to the stage." And life really began, he added, at 62. That's when he came to Hollywood. "I find it full of exhilarating dis coveries that make me feel young er every day." he said. ALWAYS SOMETHING WORCESTER. Mass. UP Lait winter Robert E. Hasselstrom lost his job. Then his home was burned down. He and his family of four lived with a relative, then borrowed a friend's varant house. Later he lived in a tent. Recently he built a one-room house that s ' tatca still incomplete. The other day his wife returned from the hospital with twins. PUPPIES GO TO SCHOOL MEMPHIS. Tenn. LP) That story about the lamb that followed Mary to school one day is old hat. The band director at Treadwell High School had to bring two beagle puppies to school with him ahi feed them with an eye drop per. The pups' mother died a few hours after they were born. Here's Why Van Gets Good Roles HOLLYWOOD (UPi Most movie stars pride themselves on being unique, but Van Johnson picked off one of the year's plum roles be cause he's just like anybody else. Melro - Goldwyn - Mayer chose ,lohn;on to star in "Battleground" because moviegoers say he re mi mis I hem of the boy next door. "I'm beeinning to feel like a statistic:" Johnson grinned. But the bobby-sox idol proved he's slill the same plain guy he alwaysi was when he went home to Newport, R. I . for the 15th annual reunion of his alma mater. Rogers High School. One of the first things he did when he got to his father's house wjs to put two movie fan maga zines in the kitchen window. Sicnals Girl Next Door "It used to be a signal." he ex plained. "The girl next door and I were great movie fans. We went to shows together and swapped mag azines. Tutting them in the win dow was the signal it was time to swap." The girl next door saw the sig nal, too. She rushed over and in vited Johnson to lunch with her husband and three children. At the class reunion. Johnson remembered both the first and last names of his classmates of 15 years ago. "An elephant in size and mem ory." he shrugged. One of the "bunch" had opened I a small drugstore, ana jonnson and his wife dropped in for lunch. They sat at counter stools batting the breeze with the owner. Business got its biggest boost since somebody teamed onion with hamburger. The movie star's only concession to success was spending two hours at exclusive Bailey's Beach. Odd-Job Man Once "Harder to crash than Fort Knox." he commented, remember ing the days when he was happ' to do odd jobs there. Although he was picked because he typifies the average guy, John son was thrilled by his "Battle ground" assignment. "There really isn't any star in the picture." he said. "It's just about 12 average guys, a cross section of America. I'm supposed to be of Swedish descent. John Hodiak's folks came from the Uk raine. Ricardo Montalban is a Mexican-American." Others in the east were chosen also because they could be the young men found in any of the 48 at home in New York or Walla Walla. "There's no hero in the picture, either," Johnson added. "It just presents a bunch of typical Amer icans. What a wonderful experi- ence. playing in a picture where there's no 'star'. Everybody plays second fiddle to everybody else."

Films Use At Ninety HOLLYWOOD (UP A smart woman can be charming and at tractive at 90, says Marjorie Main, who believes you're only as old as you think. There's a fountain of youth, all right," she said. "It s all in your mind. Men like George Bernard Shaw are spry and interesting at 90, and women can be. too. 'I'm no example of wit. and charm, I know. But I do think too many other women give up when they get to be 40, take old age for granted and resign themselves to being blah." I For the first time in her screen career, Miss Main appears ,ai a chic woman in Universal-Interna tional's "Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town". One of her prizes for win ning a contest is the full glamor treatment at a swank New York beauty salon. She goes in looking like a Kettle and comes out closer to Lillian Russell. Headwork Counts More 'Paint, fancy hairdos and fine clothes are only half an answer to the problem of staying young and charming after 45," she said. What goes on inside your head counts more." Women whose wrinkles have hidden their dimples have one ad vantage on their side, and that's experience. "A girl who's lived," Miss Main said, "has something to talk about. Experience is a great weapon to keep the rest of the world inter ested. Men like to talk to a wo man who thinks for herself and has something to say. If she has the ability to look on life as an adventure, she'll have charm." Sex, she adde, is not everything. "Skin-deep beauty can't keep any man but the dumbest inter ested very long," she said. "From there on it's a battle of brains in stead of bosoms." The most important physical thing charmers after 45 have to worry about is staying neat. The rest of the recipe is reading good books, developing the arts of thought and conversation and for getting about the birthdays. 'Expert' HOLLYWOOD (UP Movie stu dios who want to take their cam eras slumming call on a man named Champ Lezell, the technical ad visor on the city's skid row. Lezell. who demands4 that his tille be spelled with capital letters, knows the ins and outs of Los Angeles' darker night life and is an expert in picking the juicier lo cales for film makers who want to portray the lowest aspects of society. As an actor. Lezell specializes in rolling drunks, just as other play ers specialize in bosoms or Ger man accents. "I can go throygh the pockets of a gutter stew," Lezell tells any pro ducer interested in such a scene "in 30 seconds of screen time." Lezell s latest job is with the Harry M. Popkin production, "Dead on Arrival." He rousted all his flop house sluniblebiini pals for "at mo.spherc people" in the skid row scenes. His name comes from the fact that he used to be a fighter. Once a Champion "I won a welterweight cham pionship in 1924," he insisted. "I could have licked any man twice my size if my promoter hadn't been crooked." Lezell fought professionally until a judge retired him to the county farm in 19110. He got involved in movie mak ing several years ago when George Raft did a skid row scene. Lezell said he could find better back grounds than the one the company was shooting and offered his ser vices as a guide. "I'm on all the studio lists now as technical adviser on skid row scenes." Lezell said proudly. His services include rounding up atmosphere extras from the gut ters and flophouses, keeping the moochers away from the stars, sending snoopers about their bus iness and delivering the finest col lection of garbage-strewn, rat infested alleys this side of Suez.
