'Starlet1 Business Dying In Hollywood Industry Hollywood - (CPD - "Starlet is a dying word in the lexi con of tinsel town now that professional "cute young things" are becoming as scarce as All Landon buttons. For years starlets were kept under contract at the major studios to pose for cheesecake with a firecracker' on the 4th of July, a turkey at Thanksgiving, a candy heart on St. Valentines day. They accompanied single stars to premieres, in addition to fill ing in background scenes re quiring cuties with curves, Sldom did they develop to stardom. But they were a part of Hollywood's wacky traditi tion. Marion Marshall was a star let until she married director Stanley Donen in 1952. Now, following a separation from Donen, she is attempting to re establish her career as an ac tress with a dramatic role in "I want to live." Didn't Lik Starlet Role "I was sick and tired of be ing a starlet," she said, "While I was under contract In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Jerusalem: Gale whipped sandstorms swept across Israel from Sy ria and Iraq over the week end, leaving a trail of damage and dust in their wake. The total amount of sand and dust transferred by the winds amounted to an estim ated 30 million tons about equal to the amount of sand evacuated to build the Suez canal. TJMMMMMM. Construction of the Suez canal was started on Nov. 17, 1859. Ten years later, on Nov. 17, 1869, the canal was opened to traffic. That is to say: What is took man, In one of his greatest efforts up to the time he tackled the job, a DECADE to do nature did over a WEEK END. When she takes a notion, nature is pretty powerful. SOUR note in the news: Major crimes in the United States increased an average of 11 per 'cent in the first nine months of this year over the same period last year, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reports in Washington. Robbery, burglary, forcible rape and larceny led the mounting crime wave. Rob bery increased 18 per cent, burglary 14 per cent, larceny in amounts over $50, 13 per cent and auto theft 5 per cent. MURDER increased only 3 per cent and aggravated as sault only 2 per cent. The big increase, please note, has been in crimes involving the desire to GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. YITHY this increase? " Nobody KNOWS. But It could be that a time-worn proverb holds a key to the mystery. The proverb goes: "As the twig is bent, the tree's inclined." Maybe, in these days, there isn't enough bending of the twigs in the right direction. rpHE old proverb, incidental- ly. was rendered into verse by Alexander Pope, who lived and wrote a couple of cen turies ago. ' In his Essay on Man, he put it this way: "Tis education forms the common mind: "Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined." May you all have a very, very happy Thanksgiving! Medford-139 South Fir Ashland-240 4th St. -EKINS AGENT FOR MEDFORD AND ASHLAND m to 20th Century-Fox they used me to fill empty chairs, or put my body in a costume to fill in the background. "I posed endlessly in the studio gallery in bathing suits, lingerie and other brief out fits. "Sure I was given roles in 36 picture, but I never had an opportunity to act." The blue-eyed blonde's big gest breaks were in- Martin and Lewis comedies. But au diences were too busy laugh ing at the comedians' antics to notice the presence of the gal with the roller-coaster fig ure. "Marilyn Monroe is the on ly starlet I can think of who became a big star," Marion said. "The Others lasted four or five years, until their faces became too familiar. Then they were dropped. Most of them married and forgot all about becoming movie stars. Kids Are Smarter "Today the yxmng kids are smarter. They realize a star- le contract is a trap, and they don't fall for it. "That's the reason for the big gap between the Clark Gables and Joan Crawfords of the past and the young crop of stars like Paul New man and Joanne Woodward, "Gable and Crawford were never starlets, and neither are the newcomers. But for 20 years inbetween pretty faces 'were exploited instead of talent. The studios are pay ing for the mistake now." Marion says cheesecake and publicity never build stars. "I was 'miss everybody' during my starlet years. And the publicity pictures showed up in the papers, she laugh ed. "But it didn't help my ca reer in the slightest. "Now the studios can't af ford to pay a flock, of girls every week just to have their pictures taken. So the starlet system is dying. "It won't be long before the word 'starlet' will be out of use altogether." Petrie Elected lo Postmasters Post F. G.
