Movies Need New Faces; Old Timers Don't Attract
Hollywood-(UF)-The trouble with movies, a director says, is that people who have been seeing Clark Gable for 20 years aren't willing to shell out 75 cents to see him again.
Roy Rowland says the movies, literally, need a transfusion of new blood. It doesn't matter much whose blood. Mr. Rowland says they can make
"The industry does develop some new faces," Mr. Rowland says, "but we don't go at it systematically. We ought to conduct a regular, organized search through the colleges and little theaters for new talent."
And while they're at it, he added,
don't stop with actors. The movies
need some new talent in the writing
department too.
There are about 12,000 writers in Hollywood, but, the way most pictures turn out, you'd think there was only one plot.
"You can't just throw a new face at the public, of course," Mr. Rowland said. "You've got to help them out with publicity and the right kind of parts and a good name opposite them."
Janet Leigh, for instance, was just a face in a photograph album when Norma Shearer discovered her. She had never done any acting at all when she played the lead in one of Mr. Rowland's pictures, "Romance of Rosy Ridge" opposite Van Johnson.
A lot of new faces,Mr. Rowland predicted,will come to the movies from television.
The point is that she had the soak of personality that gets over in front of a camera.
"You can teach them everything else", Mr. Rowland said.
"Television doesn't pay very much" he pointed out, "so the new player has a better chance to get started without competing with old-timers."

Dry Law Is Void Lawyer Contends
Topeka—(UP)—Kansas' bone dry law against possession or transportation of liquor is being challenged as to its constitutionality.
The state repealed the 68-year-old constitutional prohibition law in the general election Nov. 2. The antiliquor laws remain in effect on the statute books unless the Kansas supreme court rules otherwise or until the legislature decides to remove them, an action expected early in the 1949 session.
Bruce C. Heath, Abilene attorney representing Richard Manning, applied to the state supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus. Manning, arrested 10 days ago on charges of liquor possession and maintaining a nuisance, was unable to make $500 bond after pleading not guilty.
