Sunday, April 29, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRiBTJNE ELEVEN Around Hollywood By ALINE M0SBY Unitad Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Director Alfred Hitchcock's latest star discovery, blonde Vera Miles, is sizzling upset at the thought she is anything like his last years star the Princess of Monaco. Hitch cock made Grace Kelley a top actress in "Dial M For Murder" and Aline Mosby "Rear Win dow." But she was under con tract to MGM, which reaped the glory and the money while Prince Rainier got the girl. So when Hitch spotted another potential screen sensation, 26-year-old Miss Miles, he firmly tied her to a three-picture-a-year contract, the first time the direct or ever signed up a player him self. Hitchcock figures Miss Miles, a former beauty contest winner from Wichita, Kans., will be the Kelly of 1956. But the budding star served notice today she shies away from any comparison. 'Earthy Grace Kelley "Somebody once called me an 'earthy Grace Kelley',' Vera sighed. "Really! What is Grace Kelly without that wonderful so phistication? That's like saying somebody is a sophisticated An na Magnani. I don't think I look anything like Grace." ' There are a few similarities, however. Like Grace, Vera is a willowy blonde with a lady-like air. Vera, too, wears her hair straight and pulled back. She The Southern Oregon Music contest was held at Southern Oregon college Friday.

There will be a luncheon served at noon. A dime onstration of the various office machines will be given to ac quaint the students with various types of machines. goes in for tailored, simple clothes, little make-up and white gloves. Vera got her start on televi sion, as did Grace. The chic Miss Miles had Hollywood talking when she played a breast cancer patient on "Medic." She also starred on "Four Star Theater," "Video Theater" and "Schlitz Playhouse." Villainess Portrayed Then Joan Crawford got Vera to play a villainess in "Autumn Leaves." Director John Ford signed her to costar with John Wayne in "The Searchers" and also dotted her to a one-picture-a-year contract. Fox studio star red her in "23 Paces to Baker Street." She now is finishing her first picture for Hitchcock at Warner Bros., "The Wrong Man." The director figures when all these films are released this year, Vera Miles will be a hot new star. But unlike Grace, Vera kept her rights to work on TV. Like Grace, Vera got married last week, too-only to a Tarzan instead of a prince. Miss Miles was wed to the tree swinger of the movies, handsome Gordon Scott. i Mayor Proclaims Mental Health Week Mayor Earl M.
