Acting Natural Better
Than Naturally Acting
HOLLYWOOD (UP) -- A new
movie is being made on the theory
that it's better to act natural than
naturally act.
Nine of the 12 leading actors
are iust playing themselves. They
are giving performances, director
Fred Zinnerqiann says, that no
professional actor could touch.
The picture is "The Men," and
the non-professionals, all para
lyzed veterans, are playing para
lyzed veterans. They were chosen
from 70 who read for the parts.
"When people have lived through
experiences such as these boys
have," Zinnemann believes, "they
are much better able to show that
experience than actors who must
necessarily fake what they think
is the proper reaction."
The veterans have proved to give
better performances than trained
thesplans in scenes that call for
emotional situations taken from
their own experiences.
, Timing Wonderful
"Their sense of timing is won
derful," Zinnemann says, "and
they are helped by the fact that
the characters written are not
very much different from them
selves. ( Vlt's exciting for a director to
work with people who are relaxed
and who never criticize the lines
by' saying 'I 'don't feel it,' or 'It's
not me"
In the Stanley Kramer produc
tion Zinnemann is only repeating
an experiment he made by neces
sity then when he filmed "The
Search in Europe. He needed
young actors to play DP children,
but since he found none who could
portray real terror he used sfime
of the thousands of orphaned
children who were wandering Eu
rope and depended on his eight
year-old star, Ivan Jandl, to carry
most of the acting.
In "The Men," Marlon Brando
is in the same relation to the ac-

Chaplain's Prayers
To Go Into Book ,
KEYSER, W. Va. (UP) The col
orful and pungent prayers which
Dr. Peter Marshall intoned while
chaplain of the U. S. Senate are
now in book form.
The widow of the Scottish-born
clergyman, whose preachments
were often found a source of well--founded
advice by bickering legis
lators, has published a collection
of his sermons.
It took eight months for Mrs
Marshall to select and edit the ser
mons from more than 500 of her
late husband's manuscripts. He
died last January.
For readability, Marshall often
typed his sermon notes in uneven
stair-stepped lines and to preserve
recollections of his unique and env
pnattc delivery, the volume was
printed in the same manner.

HOLLYWOOD (UP) A stage
actor say that 99 per cent of what
they say in New York about Holly
wood isn't true.
"With a few exceptions,'? Tom
Ewell says, "it's all sour grapes."
People who couldn t get any

the Stork Club to 2 1 about how
movie producers are ignorant ego
maniacs, movie stars are beautiful
morons and movie? are juvenile

cases, Swell said, us tne trum.
"Many detractors of the movies
are people who never succeeded in
them," said Ewell, who succeeded
on the stage in taking three prizes
for his performance in "John Loves
Mary" and succeeded in Hollywood
in teaming with Bing Crosby in
Paramount's "Mr. Music".
"These blasts by New York ge
niuses against the picture business
don't mean a thing," he said.
They're just trying . to alibi their
own failures."
It Takes Work
Ewell, who intends to go back to
Broadway next year, if they'll take
him, believes a "properly balanced"
actor has to work on both stage
and screen.
"It hasn't hurt the stature of
such movie stars as Henry Fonda,
Basil Rathbonej Margaret Sulla
van, Madeline Carroll and a lot
more," he said. "They, and a lot of
others, have proved it's nonsense
to say a movie star can't act in the
theater."
Movie performers do tend to
under-act when they get on the
stage, Ewell admitted. That's be
cause the camera picks up every
nicker of expression. On the other
hand, a stage actor tends to chew
the movie scenery, because he's
used to big, broad gestures to get
his meaning across the footlights.
The ones who can't make that
adjustment, Ewell added, are the
ones who come back to New York
and sneer about the barbarians.
"I've noticed they get support
from former movie actors and stars

Souvenirs
HOLLYWOOD (UPL Anybody
who comes home from a trip is
bound to leave something behind
be it a fishing rod or a pair of
rubbers. But if you're a movie
star, you can forget about getting
it back.
The folks where you've been will
have it snatched and mounted as a
souvenir.
Claude Jarman, Jr., forgot bis
Latin books when he came home
from Oxford, Miss., where he made
a movie. They're now under glass
in the town hall.
Dean Stockwell left a souvenir
that can't be appropriated when
he made another picture, "You're
Only Young Twice," at the Law
renccville School In New Jersey.
Along with members of the gradu
ating class, he carved his initials in
a gnarled old oak tree which stands
on the campus.
Elizabeth Taylor left a more
practical memento, and left it by
choice, when she made "Conspira
tor" in England. She distributed
three cases of American jams and
jellies among residents of Bore
ham Wood, one of the picture's locales.-';

Vari Heflln gave up his battered
fishing hat, which he wore in
scenes at Big Bear, Cal. An old

A later movie company probably

The Masai warriors near Meru,
Kenya, are remodeling the brass
base of the bulbs into snufl boxes
and adding a decorative stopper
made from buffalo horn.
The picture's stars hope to bring
some of these back for souvenirs,
though they can think of no friends
who take snuff.
