"fZtf MRTttSHD (OMGOm MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, October 8, 1955 Film Festival Planned in Hollywood Realizes Dream y Kentucky's Finest YEAR OLD GLORIA SWANSON are plentiful. All the studios could let down the bars and open the gates to the sightseers who sometimes have come great dis tances. The city officials, prominent business men, the picture execu tives and stars could entertain their foreign visitors in their beautiful homes and gardens. A huge formal ball, following pur own Academy Awards event, could be a fitting climax. The goodwill and bond this American festival could create in bringing the people of this earth together is incalculable. Remember, it was the "motion picture," more than any other single medium, that brought "our way of life" to the people of other lands. Even though the word Hollywood may .not be found on all maps, I Will venture a guess that there are few human beings who haven't heard the word. , , Another Day Dream I have still another day dream. It is that one day all the citizens (non-professional) will find it in their hearts to raise enough money so that the city could build a monument to the "mov ies," perhaps in the form of a museum, for it would seem more Written For Unif ed Press Paris (U.R) Hurrah! At long last, another of my dreams come true if what I read is a 'fact. Next year Hollywood will hold its first film festival. This means that 25 to 30 na tions will show their movies in the competition for top honors and prizes, sending representa tives such as producers, writers, directors and stars to participate in the festivities.

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Editor' note: Few tragedies have (tunned Hollywood as did the tragic death in a head-on collision Friday Blent of new star James Dean. In a series of two articles, the United Press probes the enigma of the actor. if Hollywood (U.R) What .was Jimmy Dean really like? One of his closest friends described him today as a lonely, unhap py boy who never got what he really wanted out of life love. James Dean, star of "East of Eden," has been an enig ma in Holly- insurance agent Aline Mortr wood. But an who was the star's constant com panion, Lou Bracker, told what he thinks is the first "true" itoty about Jimmy. I sat with Lou at the home of photographer Sanford Roth, an other close friend of the actor's who was driving behind Jimmy when he met death in an auto collision on a lonely highway Friday night. Lou talked for hours about his friends. Lacked Lot ' "Jimmy died," he said, "with out ever getting what he really waited, love and marriage." The only -girl Dean really loved according to Lou, was beautiful Pier Angeli. Jimmy was broken-hearted when Pier suddenly announced her engage ment to Vic Damone. . Even now, in Dean's modest house in the San Fernando Val ley, a photograph of Pier sits on his desk.; '; . 1 ; "I just wish somebody would print the truth about Jimmy nobody ever did," Bracker said. a "He was the loneliest man in the world. He wanted a wife and children, and he . used to talk about how important it is to be married to a woman who is understanding. He could be a lonely man in a room full of people. "He was so misunderstood. People thought he was a non conformist. But it wasn't that. He couldn't open a conversation, he didn't know how. He stayed away from night clubs. . He thought they were false and he was shy; he didn't want to be in the public eyeJ' " Jimmy often ' "went into a shell, but it was not in rebellion, it was self-defense," Bracker went on. : "He'd been hurt a lot," he said. Jimmy's unhappiness took him'. to a psychoanalyst.) The young actor's mother had died when he was eight, anrn aunt and uncle virtually reared him. Friendships Described After his . broken romance with Pier, Jimmy had brief friendships with such starlets as Ursula Anders and Jeanette Mil ler. To them all he talked in tensely of his problems, his dit ficulties in finding peace of mind and getting along with people. . The young actor was just be ginning to feel more at ease with himself, Lou believes, when death caught up with him. Re cently Jimmy even went to a party in a tuxedo. His usual at tire had been a loose-hanging shirt and ill-fitting pants. But he was discovering, "as Lou says, that "He could wear blue den ims, but they could still be neat." But before Jimmy found the happiness he sought, he got in terested in a lighter, faster sports car than the one he owned. Tomorrow: Why Jimmy was killed. US Will Slick With China Trade Embargo Tokyo (U.R) Under Secre tary of State Herbert Hoover Jr. said today the United States will stand firm in its trade em bargo against Communist China. Hoover called a hurried press conference following reports in Japanese newspapers that he had indicated to Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu the U. S. was considering relaxing the ban. He said he "made clear that it is the policy of the United States backed by American pub lic opinion to oppose any change in the present international con trols over such trade." - WANTED TO SAVE IT Detroit (U.R) Police found $450 and a bank book with a balance of $5,226 in the pockets of Geneter Adams Wednesdaj when he was arrested for trying to panhandle the price of a meal from a uniformed policemen.
