ing a promising movie career for religious work, said today she
thinks "Hollywood is a wonderful missionary field."

land," the brunette actress said. "I'll go where the Lord needs
me."
When she told 20th Century

her contract after it expires

were "wonderful about it," Miss
Townsend said.
In place of fame and a big
pay check, the 20-year-old
screen player said she would
take a two-year religion course

Navarro Holds Hollywood
Lovers 'Bunch of Bullies'
By VIRGINIA MacPIIERSON
Hollywood, Jan. 19 (OH) Ramon Navarro, the passionate lover
who used to make Mom weel like a kid again, said today Holly
wood's current "great lovers" are all a bunch of bullies.
Vulgar Bullies," he slurred in the soft Latin accent that had
ladies cooing on two continents in the 1920s.
"In my day we put a woman
on a pedestal, Navarro said.
We caressed her ardently but
tenderly. And when we did get
passionate, we did it reverently.
"Nowadays, bah! They grab
the leading lady, slap her in the
face, kick her, pull her hair, and
then growl: 'How about it,
keed?" "
The whole prospect horrified
the man who did his great-lov-cring
opposite stars like Greta
Carbo, Lupe Valez, May Mc
Evoy and Alice Terry. In those
days, he said, he didn't dream of
getting so familiar with the la
dies.
'If we had a sexy scene it was
always with the siren in the
movie," he grinned. "And then
if I do say so myself, we had our
moments. There was no John
ston office then. We could kiss
her as long as we liked."
In fact, said this ex-great-
lover, he kissed 'em so long and
so often that after a while he
didn't "like" it any more.
He is now starting a new ca
reer as a character actor. And
he'- doing it on one condition:
That he never, so long as he
lives, has to kiss a beautiful
lady again.
This is bound to come as a
great shock to a lot of mamas.
In the days of the torrid silents,
Navarro was their matinee idol,
the gay caballero.
He had but to bend over a
panting heroine with fove burn
ing in his dark eyes and every
horsewife in the country forgot
about the old man's thinning
hair and thickening waistline.
For 12 years he ruled the
Hollywood roost as the dark,
handsome and wealthy romeo.
Then, suddenly and mysterious
ly, he dropped out of sight.
"I was tired," he said simply.
"I had saved my money, and I
could afford to get out of the
business and look at it objec
tively. Don't get me wrong
Gangster Grabbed
After Long Search
Miami, Fla., Jan. 19 M)
Harry Fleischer, a member of
Detroit's notorious Purple Gang,
was held by the FBI today after
14 months' search.
Fleischer, 46, was arrested
yesterday on charges of unlaw
ful flight to avoid confinement
after conviction on a Michigan
robbery charge.
He was picked up by four
FBI agents while sunning him
self at Pompano beach, 35 miles
north of Miami.
Crawford H. Carson, FBI
agent in charge of the Miami
office, described Fleischer as
"one of the most badly wanted
men in the country." He said
the FBI had been searching for
him since November 1, 1948.
Fleischer was sprawled on the
sand in bathing trunks when the
agents closed in. He was taken
without a struggle and readily
admitted his identity.
when I express my opinions on
the lovers of today. Those are
just my opinions."
But he still thinks the boys
play too rough nowadays.
"Every woman wants to be
courted, gently and tenderly
and sentimentally," N o v a r r o
said. "How far can you get by
pushing their faces in? In my
day, if I had treated a lady like
that I would have been run out
of town.
"No indeed. You get much
better results if you kiss their
necks and their hands and their
ears. And for the screen, when
you work up to a certain pitch,
you leave the rest to the im
agination of the audience.
'Believe me, we got away
with lots more than way. But
we didn't offend anybody."
