sultry, flossy parts that sky‘rocketed her to stardom in “Johnny Belinda” and “Ace In the Hole.” “I'm a believer in the theory that you have to be typed in pictures,” she told me. “If it doesn’t happen, you're dead. I'm through with straight glamour. It's silly. You get all made up and you can’t show any emotion. You're afraid i you're going to crack your makeup or lose your false eyelashes.” Jan's on loanout now to UI as the damsel who teaches Tony Curtis the facts of life in “Hear No Evil” and calls it “my best role.” : ys ® A NEW CROP of Shirley Temples and Jackie Coogans is on the way to cure the box-office blues.

The Wayne in No. As Box Office Attraction

By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON United Press Hollywood Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, De of the top money-making stars of the year are out—and it looks like you don’t have to make sizzling headlines to keep the box-office cash registers tinkling. Movie fans passed up the Lana Turners and - the Rita Hayworths and Clark Gables to, pick John Wayne as the actor pe would pay the

The other money-makers on hel “top 10” were Abbott and Costello, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Randolph Scott, Gary Cooper, Doris Day and Spencer Tracy. All real dull people. Not a one of 'em carried on an international romance . . . there wasn’t a spicy divorce or a single scandal among em . . . and none of 'em ecloped with foreign royalty. Gary Cooper came closest to breaking the “solid citizen” pattern when he and his wife, Rocky, split up after 17 years of marriage. He dated Pat Neal a few times after that, but he and the missus still haven't decided on a divorce. Doris Day, the only other glamour gal on the list, doesn’t act like one——in the regular Hollywood tradition. She's never even been mixed up in a shooting.
