Ferrer Dominated
By Secret Love
New York (UJS Everybody
who has seen Jose Ferrer act
ing Cyrano de Bergerae knows
that Cyrano's life was domin
ated by a great hidden passion.
" Nobody knew, however, un
til recently, that the private life
of Ferrer was dominated by a
secret love.
With Ferrer it was not a
woman. It wag art. .
- The fact is that the success
ful actor, director and producer
wanted all . his life to be a
painter. ,
He was drawn since his early
youth. He has made a few bril
liant tries in painting, too. His
other great gifts pulled him to
ward the stage, however.
In his hectic life, split up be
tween Broadway and Holly
wood, Ferrer does not have the
leisure to set up his easel. He
is lucky if he has time to do a
few furtive pencil sketches. He
did, however, in recent years
two full size self-portraits.
His friend, the photographer
Alfredo Valente, knew about
them. When the new school for
social research organized the
other day an exhibition of self
portraits by some 30 well
known artists, Valente succeed
ed in inducing Ferrer to show
one of his self-portraits.
The artists were so thrilled
by the presence of the work of
such .a distinguished amateur
that they asked Ferrer to in
augurate the show with a lit
tle speech.
The actor-artist came and told
about his secret dream and how
he has been yearning to be an
artist all the time.
"I am still a bobby-soxer
when it comes to famous ar
tists," he said. "Whenever I see
one of them, I follow him in
the street. I watch how he
walks and talks and what he
wears. Art is my unhappy
love."
' He was overcome with emo
tion. There was still a nostal
gic gleam in his eyes when
somewhat later he drove off to
ward the brilliant lights of
Broadway, which beckoned
from far through the night like
uncounted beacons of fame.
Geiger Counter Finds
Thyroid Diseases
Los Angeles (U.PJ-i A super
sensitive Geiger counter that ac
tually draws a picture of a thy
roid gland now is in active hos
pital use to detect many hard
to-find thyroid diseases, includ
ing cancer.
The instrument, known as the
beta scintillation counter, has
diagnosed approximately 100
patients since it first was put
into diagnostic use last Septem
ber, said Dr. Thomas F. Barrett,
clinical professor of medicine at
the University of California at
Lot Angeles.
"We have found the scintilla
tion counter extremely valuable
in picking up many thyroid
problems that have been missed
by all other diagnostic means,"
Dr. Barrett said.
Body in Wrecked Car
Stirs After Inquest
Baytown, Tex. (U.R) A car
load of youths passed a wrecked

nounce the wreck victim dead.
Then the surprised "body"
stirred, rubbed sleep from his
eyes and discovered he had slept
through his own inquest.
Joseph Mingo, the 23-year-old
Ncro "victim," explained he
had been unhurt when his car
overturned but decided to spend
the night in his wrecked vehicle
