Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspendeiit (Editor's? Nole: Th last of a twa-part series en one of Hollywood's most unusual stars, Jennifer Jones.) ' Hollywood (U.R) Jennifer Jones was an overnight failure in her debut on Broadway last December, and ' today she de scribed the experience as "The real failure of my life." The one-time brilliant career of the actres, originally master minded by her producer-husband, David O. Selzriick, . has been quiet in recent years. Her last two films, "Beat the Devil" and "Indescretion of an Ameri can Wife", were unusual, artis tic triumphs but not general hits, possibly because of luke warm promotion. Three months ago she starred on Broadway in ' Portrait of a Lady," a costume opus that folded after four days "It was a personal failure," she admitted honestly. "But I learned from it. Great Experience "All my life Ive wanted to v,ork in the theater. Yes, the failure was disappointing. would call it the real failure of my life, as far as work is con cerned, but it was also the great experience of my life. "I learned a lot. I have no re grets. At least I did the play, and the work was satisfying. I learned what I didn't know. "It made me realize what this film business means to me. I en jcy it even more now. And the iaiiure did not destroy my dreams of working in the thea ter. I hope to go back. Everyone has ups and downs in this busi ness," she said with a smile. "You know, you can go about a bit smugly here, working in pictures, in spite of not knowing anything. I learned more about people from working in that play, and I learned something about myself." The actress also took a year off the screen to have a baby, which made her give up a sched uled role in "The Country Girl." Grace Kelly, her replacement.

She now is working in Holly wood for the first time in three years, -in "A Many Splendored Thing." which may zoom her back to the limelight. She por trays a ha ilf -Chinese girl who falls in love with a married man, William Holden. Today on the set she looked properly Orien tal in a black wig and clinging Chinese dress slashed up the side. What is she like? Some of her coworkers say she is aloof on the set, yet on the screen Jennifer Jones re mains a top actress with a mo bye, interesting face that con tracts with the wallpaper ex pressions of some film queens. She usually withdraws from the press ("I'm not very good at in terviews") yet I found her hon est, talkative and gracious. When I asked her how many Oscar nominations she has col lected, she shrugged, "I really don't know." She never saw her self, on the screen until three years ago. She was forced by friends to sit down and look at her 10 years' output. Friends call her "insecure, and so con cerned', about her appearance and herself once she took up Questions Resumed In Commies' Trial Denver AJ.R) The govern ment has resumed questioning ot its first witness, former high ranking Communist party disci plinarian John E. Lautner, in the conspiracy trial of seven, west ern Communists. - The- defense blocked an at tempt by government attorneys to draw Lautner out regardng his' contacts with Communists in Canada. But he was allowed to relate his duties and name more than a dozen top American Com munists he dealt with during the post-war years. Several persons he named are listed as co-conspirators with the seven Reds on triaL and some already have been convicted under the Smith Act. Lautner said that from Sep tember. 1948, to January, 1950, when he was expelled by the Communists, he served on the National Review Commission. The commission was the party's disciplinary arm, Lautner said, and concentrated on preventing infiltration . of party ranks by enemy agents. The defense argued futilely that Judge Jean Breitenstein should not let Lautner testify, since he was expelled from the party before the alleged conspir acies of the seven now on trial took place. yoga."
