It Pays to Be a Heel, Akim Finds

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 22 (UP) —If he always showed up on the screen as a guy you'd like your mother to meet, Akim Tamiroff says, he'd have a hard time getting jobs.

Villains and heéls have a far | greater hold on the public than

the nice guys, Mr. Tamiroff believes. “Few romantic stars ever had the following Eric von Stroheim had when he played the most revolting, obnoxious villains the screen ever knew,” he said.

“They called him ‘The Man |

You Love to Hate.’

» - ” " MR. TAMIROFF recently finished co-starring with Jessi-

ca Tandy in a stage production |

of “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep,” based on the Ludwig Bemelmans novel. His next movie part will be playing the villain in the story of Cardinal Mindszenty, “Guilty of Treason.” One of the most classic of Mr. Tamiroff's villains was the Pablo he played in “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” Pablo doublecrossed everybody, including his own guerrilla troops. The part got Mr. Tamiroff thousands of fan letters. » ” » . GEORGE RAFT became a star over night, he said, after he was shot by Paul Muni in “Public Enemy.” He was killed, by the way, for something of which he was innocent. Another player. appeared on the screen for a few minutes in “Wings” and then was killed when his ship crashed. It was the beginning of stardom for Gary Cooper. Mr. Tamiroff isn’t aiming that high, however. “I just want to keep on working steadily and getting fan mail,” he said.
