Miss Colbert was fine in a scene

Otherwise, she was, well Clau

came over with excessive stiff

twice as effective if half of the

discarded.

Sweet-Faced Shirley Jones .
Being Cast Off Beaten Path
By VERNON SCOTT
UPI Staff Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UPI Sweet
faced Shirley Jones' professional
life was being saved this week by
actor Burt Lancaster and direc
tor "Richard Brooks.
Both- men virtually are saving
the blonde beauty from movie ob
livion. Up to now Shirley has been a
bucolic milk-maid who pranced
through four pictures in starring
roles singing a great deal and
acting almost not at all.
As star of "Oklahoma!" "Car
ousel," "April Love" and "Never
Steal Anything Small" Shirley
was an ineffective innocent little
cutie in typical Hollywood froth.
This week she became a sleazy
harlot in her fifth film, "Elmer
Gantry."
East German Women
Called 'Ladies' Again
BERLIN (UPIl You can go
ahead and call them "ladies"
again in Communist East Ger
many. It no longer means they
arc rich capitalists living off the
earnings of the poor workers.
The Communist newspaper Sax
ony Zeitung in Dresden advised
East German comrades the word
had been purged of its old capi
talistic meaning aid no longer
had anything to do with the ruling
class.
"They were idlers who were
supported by their husbands and
felt superior to working women,"
the magazine said. "What is the
situation today?
'These women have just about
died out in East Germany) be
cause the workers and peasants
have the power. . .so if we use the
wcrd "lady' today it does not have
an infamous meaning any more."
At Lancaster s insistence, the
Jones girl ditched her type-cast
mold for the role of a prostitute.
Ard just in time. -Movie offers
had ceased coming her way, and
it wouldn't have been long before
Shirley was a forgotten little gal
who "used to star in musicals."
The transformation is amazing.
Shirley plays all but one of her
scenes dressed only in a clinging
slip which reveals more of the ac
tress than if she were wearing a
bikini.
"The first day I was embar
rassed to walk out in front of the
crew," Shirley admitted, blush
ing. "I wasn't wearing a thing un
der it. Nothing! But now I'm used
to parading around in my cos
tume, and they've allowed me to
wear a sheer pair of panties un
derneath. "If this role hadn't come along
I'd probably not be doing any
more pictures. I'm a very for
tunate girl."
Billed Fourth '
Previously. Shirley ' rated top
billing. In this part she is billed
fourth, behind Lancaster, Jean
Simmons and Arthur Kennedy.
"The role is nowhere near as
big as my others." she went on.
"But I much prefer a small, well
written role that gives me a
chance to act. I started out main
ly as a singer and learned to act
as I went along."
Shirley admits she was a sim
ple, honey girl when she first ar
rived in the land of oranges and
smog to play Laurie in "Okla
homa." "I never had to worry about
acting before." she said. "I just
flayed myself. Now, for the tirst
time, I have a chance to become
an actress."
