Curves Slow Curvaceous Sophia toren; Gloria Swanson Dislikes Auto Rally By GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Press San Remo, Italy (U.R) This charming little town on the Italian Riviera was the scene of this year's cinema auto rally, an autorace in which the drivers are Italian film personalities. Ordinarily the rally would have finished during the film festival at Cannes, 33 miles west of Monte Carlo, but the festival was postponed this year to fall after the Grace Kelly wedding. Sophia Loren, a contestant in the rally, laughingly confessed to me that she had finished last. When I asked her why, she said she had to slow down on the curves. It seems the windshield and windows of her car were broken by eager fans along the route. She couldn't show us any ev idence of black and blue spots from pinches, though because her dress fits her like a doeskin. With her it isn't a question of Wearing or not wearing a dress. Actually, she could get the same effect if she just wore a thick coat of paint. Point of View From a man's point of view, better known as angle, it is the statuesque body beautiful. But from a short woman's view, I can say I've got what she's got only mine isn't pulled in and" stretched out in such obvious curves. Rossano Brazzi was a con testant, too, but he wasn't brag ging about how he finished. Albert Sordi, who played "My Son Nero" in the movie of the same name, won. Though I had been invited to drive in the rally, for me it prob ably would have been less event ful and hazardous than my trip from Monte Carlo. The car that came to fetch me broke down. My maid had to remain at the border for lack of papers. A 'friend with a tiny jalopy kindly rescued me. Some Abuse Since I didn't appear in a beautiful car with official num bers my friend and I were being abused and shouted at by police and populace alike, especially when we unknowingly got on the course where the contestants were vying for speed records. Shrieking and waving us aside, they sped by. But my driving friend seemed to want to get into the act. When a car swerved at 80 miles an hour to avoid hitting us and pedestrians flew in all direc tions under their own steam, I said like Garbo, "I want to go home." Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood U.R) Jess Bar ker has a solution to the divorce rate in Hollywood: Wives should stay away from divorce lawyers and work out their p r o b 1 ems at home. B a r k e r is b a c k at work on a flourish ing new career and trying to Aline Mosby forget his nu merous personal difficulties that make him a runner-up to Dick Haymes in the trouble depart ment. ' But the affable, handsome actor had one last observation on the situation after headlines appeared on the Jeanne Crain Paul Brinkman break. Miss Crain hired the same attorney, as did Barker's ex-mate, Susan Hay ward. , "They'll do the same thing to him they did to me," he said sadly. "And Jeanne has four children. . ." Barker in Demand Now that Barker has cleared up his personal life he's back in demand in Hollywood. He ap pears on NBC's Emmy Award winning daytime color television drama, "Matinee Theater," ina drama with Diana Lynn. He said he was grateful to producer Albert McCleery for giving him the comeback role. "This show is an actors' dream," he said enthusiastically as he waited for a rehearsal. "All those closeups! Many actors are nervous about this program, but I think it's great. "Yes, things are better for me now and some other offers are coming up" But I did well before all this happened. I've been an actor for 20 years, you know. And a lot of people don't know I came from the stage." Pockets Empty Barker confessed in a recent court appearance for a paternity suit brought by actress Yvonne Doughty that he had only a couple of dollars in his pocket. Today the actor cheerfully de clared that his future plans in clude "to keep working." Cur rently he's living with friends and "trying to collect more than five thousand bucks people owe me around town." "I am open to stage, screen or TV ideas," he said with a grin. And future romantic plans? "I don't go out with anyone in particular," Barker said firmly. "No, I haven't sworn off women. Who can do that? But I can't say anything about future marriages I'm still legally married as there has been no final decree."
