Good News For Men: Girls Coming Back To Pictures By VERNON SCOTT UPI Staff Writtr HOLLYWOOD 'UPI' Here's good news, men girls are com ing back! To movies, that is. During the past decade Holly wood has been a man's world. The big pictures, the fat roles, the razzle-dazzle publicity cam paigns all were written for lead ing men. Adventure dramas, westerns The , British Farthing Is Worthless? LONDON l?PH The British farthing isn't worth. . .well, it isn't even worth a farthing. Queen Elizabeth's royal mint issued a report that sneered at the little coin of the realm as a "sporadic irritant" and one that wasn't worth Die bronze it was minted in. J. H. James, the Queen's secre tary of the treasury, also hinted the farthing may not be long, for a world in which it can buy ab solutely nothing. Cannot Buy Anything A farthing is worth one-fourth of a British penny, and a British penny is worth about the same as an American cent. Before World War II a farthing could purchase up to two matches. Now it cannot even buy a toothpick. .."Farthings may have finished their useful life," the treasury secretary said. The 203,590,000 farthings jan gling uselessly in British pockets may meet their doomsday along with Britain's entire, mixed-up coinage system. James said once again Britain is humming with plans to sweep away Die pound, shilling and pence system that complicates adding machines and taxi meters, annoys bookkeepers and frightens tourists. - Studying Decimal System He said the British Assn. for the Advancement of Science and the Assn. cf British Chambers of Commerce were studying the pos sibility of adopting the decimal rnjjjage system. ' James noted that "nearly every important nation'' in the world has followed the American exam ple of using the decimal system of coinage. Canada and India went over to the decimal system and South Africa is toying with the idea.

Actresses had a ( difficult time of it, becoming almost extinct in the lists of box (ffice attractions, r ' Actress Exp'eint Change But the cycle is moving again, and nice, round, sexy, beautiful women are corning back and one such luscious creature knows the reason why. She's Angie Dickinson, a daz zling blonde, plaving her first leading role in a new movie taking top billing away from co- star Peter Finch. Five years ago this event could never have ta ken place. , . "The answer is simple,:,' Angie said, a twinkle in her dark brown cyes.,"Telcvision has come to the rescue of movie actresses. "All the westerns and detec tive thrillers have moved to TV. and the men who make movies realize they can't compete with the- television versions -of adven ture dramas. So they're, return ing to what used to be called 'women's pictures." " Theory Holds Ue Angi's - theory holds up. . New titles are reflecting the change "The Nun's Story," "It Happened to Jane. 'Cleopatra, and An gie.'s new Warner Brothers pic ture.. "Rachel Cade.' I m very lucky this counter revolution is taking place right now. the curvesome beauty went on. The poor girls who were 25 years old 10 years ago didn't have a chance. I'm 25 now and feminine roles are getting better and more important every day Until now there were so few good leading lady roles available they went only to the top stars. "As a movie-goer I much pre fer seeing relationships betweer. people to action stories." Angie concluded. "I think people who want action can watch TV. Those who want good stories and acting win ga 10 movies.
