BY, MIKE CURTIZ Written lor United Press: Hollywood U.R) A week doesn't pass when someone doesn't come up with a fine theory about what's wrong with he movies. The drive-ins and TV ars tired excuses, along with the feeling we've been making too many dreary movies about dreary people. I think the movie industry it self has been to blame because for a long time there's been a concentrated campaign to delib erately keep the new Clark Gables and Lana Turners away from Hollywood. For the past decade, poten tial new talent has been con sistently warned to stay away from t h e movie capitol. "We don't discover stars on soda foun tain stools any more," the young sters are told. "Movie-making is a big business with no more time for Cinderella tales so get your training in schools, little the aters, television or the stage and wait until we send for you," the big producers say. So what has happened- Only three new boxoffice stars were developed within the last couple of years Marilyn Monroe, Mar lon Brando and Jimmy Dean. No one else new can match the ex citement and glamour of the stars who made the movies what they are today. Twenty years ago we had them by the dozens. Spirit Lest It may be that movies today have become such a cut-and-dried proposition that the spirit of ad venture has been lost. Yet any director who firmly believes in his own convictions should try . to remedy this situation. I help- : ed make stars of such one-time newcomers as Errol Flynn, Elea nor Parker, Ann Blyth, Joh Garfield and Doris Day and hope this won't be the eVid of my record. The movies don't need talent as much as they need person alities. It doesn't matter if a pe sonality can act as long as he or she looks good on the screen If they have the talent, so much the better. But the importan things are to be natural an make that warm contact with the audience.
