TL UMfl.AJ C By HAZEL JOHNSON Hollywood (IF) Director Mike Curtiz admits that he let out a loud hoot of laughter the first time he was asked to di rect Elvis Presley in a motion picture. "He needs someone who can really discover him," Curtiz was told by producer Hal Wal lis who was then in the initial phase of planning Presley's fi nal pre-Army movie, "King Creole." "Elvis needs to be discover ed as much as Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield do," Cur tiz' said in an attempt to end the conversation. But he fi nally did agree to see the side burn king's dramatic test. "After the first few lines Elvis spoke," Curtiz said, "I began to sit up and take no tice." "Instead of a gyrating rock-and-roller, I was watching a natural, un-actory actor, un derplaying his role because he knew none of the tricks of the trade." Discovered Many Star Curtiz, credited with the 'discovery' of such persons as Doris Day, Errol Flynn, John Garfield, Eleanor Parker and Ann Blyth, was convinced. And that was the beginning of what Curtiz said was an at tempt to give Elvis what he most wants- respect. "Elvis knows the trend of his own publicity," Wallis told Curtiz, "and he's painfully aware of the ' fact that not everyone is in his corner. He realizes that he is ridiculed, made the butt of jokes and that the older movie-goers run in the other direction when they see his name on a . the ater marquee." Curtiz said Presley was the first one on the set at 7:30 in the morning, his lines learned, and he always stayed within earshot of the camera so he would not have to be called twice.

"Instead, he merely nodded and said simply, 'You're the boss, Mr. Curtiz'." The director described Pres: ley the actor as an "amazingly restless, ever-searching young man, pliable, absorbing with a bounce like a rubber ball." "In my manner of think ing," Curtiz said, "he possesses much the same qualities which Gary Cooper and John Wayne showed when they first start ed in pictures with one notable exception. They capi talize on an element of awk wardness, while Elvis is agile and resilient with a smooth ness that you'd expect in a veteran. "I guarantee that he'll amaze everyone. He shows a formidable talent. What's more, he'll get the respect he so dearly desires."
