Teen-Agers Moaning Over
Tony Curtis, New Movie Hero
By HARMON W. NCHOLS
Washington (U.R) The teen-age
or low-heel, set is moaning over
a new screen hero.
He is Tony Curtis. He will be
27 come the end of June. He got'
to Hollywood by way of Mens
Kitchen, New York.
He is handsome, has ink-
black hair, and is 5 feet, 10
inches tall.
He also is cocky as they come
and has a gift, which Hollywood
esteems, for saying the wrong
thing at the wrong time.
Tony, who gets rapturous hoots
and hollers from the young set
every time he appears any place
In person, can hardly believe it.
"Man," he told me at lunch
eon, "this stuff is crazy. The red
carpet, yet."
Tony Curtis, whose real name
is Bernard Schwartz, was born in
a Hell's Kitchen tenement. His
father. Mono Schwartz, had been
an actor in Budapest. He crossed
the water to make a fortune but
somehow didn't. He took up tail
oring.
His son took up street fight
ing. By the time he was 11, he
belonged to some of the toughest
kid gangs on Manhattan island.
But all that was changed by
the time Tony was 12. He be
came a Boy Scout and learned
how to tie a knot or pitch a tent
with the best of them.
That was the year a man
named Paul Schwartz no kin
took a hand. Paul received Tony
in what was called the Jones
Memorial settlement house. Paul
was a man who knew how to take
the chips off the shoulders of the
very young.
He showed Tony the error of
his ways.
Tony learned fast. He decided
to quit the streets and complete
his education. He went to high
school, but World War II Inter
rupted that.
After serving aboard a sub
marine and getting himself hurt
pretty bad, he came back to fin
ish his education. He finished
high school and decided to take
advantage of the GI bill of rights.
