Oil makes up about ,50 per cent of the peanut by weight Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBV Hollywood (U.R) Anthony Quinn may be the surprise suc cess of the Oscar Derby he's a favorite to cop two Academy Award nomin ations for two "Ci n d erella" roles that at one time were - e x p e cted to fail. Not since Laurence Aiinf Mosby Olivier s "Hamlet" has an actor in a for eign film snared an Oscar nom ination. But Quinn may get enough votes to be nominated as best actor for his striking per formance as a" brutish strong man in "La Strada," an Italian movie that's one of the most successful foreign films in years. And Anthony appears a shoo in to snare a nomination and probably an award for step ping into the small, supporting role of Paul Gauguin in "Lust for Life." The triumph has even more meaning for Quinn, because he kept faith in both roles even though others around him thought the films would fail. No Salary "Nobody wanted to finance 'La Strada1," Quinn said as we sat in the Paramount commis sary. "When I was in Italy for 'Attila' I told the producers I would walk out unless they also made 'La Strada.' I did the role as a favor, a labor of love. I received no salary. "I accepted a percentage of the profits but I haven't seen that money yet. The picture cost only $250,000. It's run a year and a half in Paris, is in its eighth month in New York and fourth month here." The unusual Quinn a true gem in this city of overexpanded egos then stepped "down" into a supporting role. He was on the screen in "Lust for Life" only 7V4 minutes. But he made the part so memorable that viewers felt he was part of the entire picture. s Pans 'Stardom' "I don't believe in all that star stuff," scoffed the bluntly- talking actor. "I don't know how to behave like a star. Never been to a premiere or Hollywood party. Been to nightclubs only twice." "Lust for Life" was another surprise box-office smash. Quinn revealed that during the film ing it was called "John House man's Folly," after the producer, at MGM. "They thought it would lay a bomb," he said. "Most of the cast figured they were in a pic ture that just the intellectuals would like, and the critics, and maybe a few art theaters would play it. "But I had faith in the movie. I kept saying people would like it. Some people think of art as something in a dark museum. Art is becoming a dirty word. We're ashamed of it. But I think films are an art form." Co-Starring With Booth The sought-after Quinn now is co-starring with Shirley Booth at Paramount in "Hot Spell." As in "Lust for Life" and "La Strada," he again plays a man who regards women with casual cruelty. 'I'm really not hostile to wom en," the dark-eyed actor laugh ed. "I've been married for 20 years and have three children, all girls. I'm gentler at home. I paint pictures, love to cook and build houses as a hobby."

The Family Council does not Rive advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mr. A. W I don't trust our daughter. Mrs. A. W. It can't happen again. Mr. A. W My wife and I re cently had a terrible shock. We learned that an elderly man who lived in our apartment building had been molesting our 12-year-old daughter and that this had been going on for some time-He gave our daughter money and little gifts. I wanted to report it to the police at once, but my wife said that it would get Our daughter into terrible trouble and she would be taken away. I threat ened this man and forced him to move away from our neigh borhood. Now I am worried about our daughter. I feel that she has been corrupted and this can happen again. She was severely punish ed and has promised never again to do such a thing, but I don't trust her. I feel that my wife has made a big mistake in not reporting this and possibly our daughter would be better off if she were placed in a home for a time, where she would be un der constant supervision. Mri. A. W I have heard that in such cases it is best to mini mize the whole thing as much as possible. I did not want our daughter to have to be question eded by the police and juvenile authorities and have to repeat the story many times. According to what I heard, this builds the event up in the child's mind and makes it an even worse experi ence. I feel that our daughter has taken the whole thing very hard and that she fully realizes the seriousness of what she has done. I cannot conceive of its ever happening again. Our daughter is a good child. She didn't quite understand what was happening at first and later was too scared to know what to do about it. My husband has been work ing himself up to a crazy pitch about this thing and I've come to feel that he blames our daugh ter and wants her out of the house. I would never give up my child to an institution. Th Council: These parents not only avoided their responsi bility as citizens, but cooperated with a criminal in evading pun ishment by not reporting this man to the police. He is now free to repeat his criminal action derwent surgery for an injured shoulder at the Mercy hospital in Redding, returned to his home here on Sunday. , against other children. Police and iuvenile authori ties are well aware of Ihe prob lems of questioning children on such events and are trained to do it as tactfully as possible. This girl would not be placed in an institution if it was learned that her parents are responsible persons and provide a satisfac tory home. Although the opinion Mrs. A. W. heard has been expressed from time to time, there is much to be said for the opposite point of view that repressing and hiding such an event may make it a more serious sore spot in the child's background. A seri ous wrong has been done here and the parents should have availed themselves of the oppor tunity to give vent to the feel ings that are now plaguing this father. The girl herself might be come more cleansed of the ex perience through a more thor ough expose. Since it is probably too late to rectify this situation, and since it would be neither beneficial nor practical to place this girl outside her own home, Mr. A. W. should try to put this idea out of his mind and see that the girl is closely supervised from her own home. Suspicious prying should be avoided as much as possible and, instead, her parents should watch to see that she has many activities that really interest her as well as wholesome relation ships with girls and boys her own age and an active interest in school and church. If she shows signs of unhappiness or delinquency, they would do well to consult with a social worker attached to a family asency. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.)
