WEDNESDAY, NOV. 10, wi: It Happened Last Nighi— ‘Who Wants To Be Pretty?’
Claire Trevor Tries to Look Nice Only 4 Hours a Day .
By Earl NEW YORK, . 10—
now.
- Some years ago it was used about the inventor of the telephone, Don Ameche, but it pleased Claire Trevor very much, because for 18 months she was an unemployed
genius, and there's nothing as unemployed as an unem-
ployed genius. “You get the feeling when you " don’t work for a while that you're washed up” Miss Trevor told me. ‘Nobody
anything for you.”
- » = SHE DECIDED to try a Es ‘comeback by 4 way of a BroadMiss Trevor way play, called *The Big Two.” It lasted a big two . . . weeks “Maybe I sort of got hard again “after that. Maybe I got myself some ambition, or maybe I got sore. Anyway, I thought to myself, ‘I'm going to do the best I can to show them ...” One day Rosalind Russell asked | her to be in a film called “The | Velvet Touch” which Roz and husband Fred Brisson were producing. MISS TREVOR took it, was exgellent, and the word flashed around Hollywood that Claire Trevor was hot again. So she was quickly Mrs. Babe Ruth, a gangster's moll in “Key Largo,” a comedienne in “The Lucky Stiff,” also sort of a moll in “Raw Deal.” And now people who thought she was through were telling her She didn’t look good in the Roz Russell picture. | ATg ARN “WHAT DID Roz do to you?” one friend said. ‘She looked wonderful and you looked like an unretouched photo.” “I'm supposed to look hard,” she said. “Who wants to be pretty anyway? “I only spend four hours a day trying to look nice. After one of these recent pictures, a friend called up and said, ‘Say, in that last one, you looked fairly good. . . What happened?’ ” She maintains that all her career’'s been like that, for she got into the movie business accidentally. “My father had a fine tailoring business on 5th Ave., lost it during the depression, and told me I'd have to go to work,” she

One reason for the potential , o decline and fall of American civilization is the startling fact that we aren't reproducing ourselves. To reproduce itself, a .civilization must consist of families 40g with, on the average, 2.5 children. Yet, in America, out of about 35,000,999 families, roughly 28,500,000 have two or less children. And each year the propor- 75 tion of small families increases. Put it another way: In 1800, there were 1342 children under 5 for every 1000 potential white mothers—women between 20 and 44. In 1840, there were only 419. And each year the proportion of children to potential mothers decreases. 258 Seeds of Death 3850 '60 70 '80 ‘90 Poring over mountains of, sta- Trend* of America's populati tistics, the Scripps Foundation . . ly : for Research In De Prob- is shown in this pictorial chart. lems at Miami University here translates those dry figures into their effect on our lives.

I remember that play because one critic said I got along by the simple expedient of not acting at all.” “That's a compliment,” I said. “Sure,” she said. *“That's what I always claim, too.”
