By PATRICIA { CLARY : United Press S(afl Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, March 18.~ Moviemaker Henry Koster said toNay that most girls who have what t takes to be actresses already are

. movies. { “1 don't think there are any real unknowns left,” he said. “Any girl ‘who wants to get intc movies and bas what it takes can get a break.” The director reached his conclusions after an unsuccessful twoJmonth search for an unknown to ‘play the important role of Kitty in {lliam Saroyan's “Time of Your Life.” . “The girl has to have not only ‘beauty but also a fine, intelligent face, and she has to be something ' ‘of an actress too,” Mr. Koster said. “Most girls possessing these qual{ties already have gravitaied to the * movies. I've decided the chances of finding one outside Hollywood are ‘pretty limited.” Mr, Koster, the man who made Deanna Durbin famous, has inter-

viewed 250 girls for the part and |in pictures,”

that the part of Kitty can be best] and most dramatically done by a girl who has never been before a

camera before—one whese face has| »

never been seen by a theater audi-| ence.” { But where, he wondered, was the | girl the talent scouts hadn't found? | “If a girl has any acting talent, | she can get into a little theater,” Mr. Koster said, Talent scouts al- | ways watch their plays. “If she is] photogenic, she can get a job as al model, Lots of girls are discovered | that way.” “She can even win a personality | contest. Look at Jean Peters. She got a screen test as a prize, and Fox didn't just brush her off, they really | looked at the test. And they not | only signed her up but they gave | her a lead with Tyrone Power.” Mr. Koster said he looks suspiciously now at girls who “always wanted to be in pictures.” “If they were good enough to be he believes, “they pro.

tested between 30 and 40 of them. ably would be.”
