NEWS RELEASE FOR INTER
LIBRARY LOAN BIBI.IOGRA
PHY ON ART
A wide variety of books on Art
can now be borrowed from the
Haywood County Library through
the North Carolina interlibrary
loan project. These include general
works on art as well as titles in
the fields Of drawing painting and
sculpture, and they offer help to
the amateur who likes to draw for
fun as well as information on the
history, biography, esthetics, tech
niques and appreciation of these
arts.
Among the books on drawing are
those on cartooning, anatomy,
construction, pen and ink drawing
and pencil sketching. Many of
these can be used without the bene
fit of instruction.
The books on painting discuss
HOLLYWOOD It took movie
stardom a long time to catch up
with Thelma Ritter, but she isn't
sorry a bit.
"When you're young and in a
business you love," says the
screen's self-styled American peas
ant, "that's enough." ,''. .' v -
The business Thelma loved and
still does was show business. At
eight she was a professional mono
logist ($20 and expenses per show).
Before the movies got her, she act
ed in New England stock compan
ies for 14 years and in radio' for
nine. ' ,.'' :. -:S :-'... : I
Movies have , been generous to
her, Thelma thinks; she's had "all
I he breaks", and getting in was "an
accident'..
That opening was, of course, her
memorable bit part as. .a; tired
shopper consulting a department
store Santa Claus, Edmund Gwenn,
in "Miracle on 34th Street", Her
scene was filmed while the pic
ture was on location in New York,
where Thelma was in radio. The
director and his wife knew her
from their earlier years in the the
ater. :
Studio Boss Darryl Zanuck had
her flown here later for an added
day's shooting to build up the
part. Then Director Joe Mankie
wicz wrote her into "A Letter to
Three Wives" as Ann Southern's
housekeeper and "All about Eve"
as Bette Davis' maid.
Fan mail show.s Thelma's Strong
est appeal is to what she calls
"solid, older people. I get wonder
ful reviews in London. Mankiewicz
says that to them I'm the Ameri
can cockney. A gal. who's not im
pressed with anybody, including
herself." .
Miss Ritter's latest fat roles get
Jier out of an apron at least. In
"Kitty, and the Marriage Broker",
she finds Jeanne Crain a husband;
in "With a Song in My Heart'', she
nurses injured Jane Froman (Sus
an Hay ward) back to health. : .
Between her three films per year
she lives in New York, where her
husband, Joe Moran, is an adver
tising executive. They met in a
stock company when Joe was an
actor, too. Their children are Tony,
13, and Monica, 11.
