> Stars of tlie Future Three cheers for you! The inaugurai tion of your column spotlighting new > comers to the acting profession, or those ! with a reservoir of talent which has not 1 yet been tapped, is a commendable one! r You are indeed to be congratulated upon i this worthwhile venture. I enjoyed the article on Keefe Bras1 selle who has been a favorite of mine for f several years now. I hope to see the spotlight given soon to Warren Douglas > and DeForest Kelley. I’m most confii dent that they are our stars of tomorrow. . Alice Meyers t San Jose, California Open Letter to Barbara Lawrence i I recall having read that Barbara Lawj rence made such a good showing in her t; latest movie that she should easily be t ready for a major role. I’d like to com¬ ment on this in an open letter to her: So far you have been very fortunate |; in having been cast with a variety of i well-known stars in a number of movies {which were unusually successful — “A Letter to Three Wives,” “Give My Reji gards to Broadway” and “Street With t No Name.” If you attempt to take the I spotlight upon yourself, you will not ihave these veteran actors to rely upon, and you’ll also face the possibility of being cast in movies which have a plot or setting much inferior to those man¬ ic tioned above. !I don’t think you’re ready for major roles. It is my opinion that you will go I much farther if you continue to play a I variety of minor parts as well as you’ve | done in the past. Earl S. Mattill i Helena, Montana » Mad at the Press I’m fed up with the way the so-called 1 “gentlemen” of the press have handled [ their stories about Rita Hayworth and E Prince Aly Khan. Other movie stars I followed the men they loved, and were I not as publicized. It most certainly is i not an insult to all decent women, and 1 I, for one, think that it’s wonderful that Miss Hayworth has found a man she can love and be happy with. If things don’t turn out right, Miss Hayworth is hurt¬ ing only herself. Her marriage is her own personal affair, and after all the heartbreak she’s had in the past, I think most women would wish her all the happiness in the world. Ann Benzamin Chicago, Ill. Oscar for Barbara Barbara Stanwyck did not win the Academy Award, but in my honest opin¬ ion she is, and always will be, the great¬ est actress of our times. For good, solid, dramatic portrayals, Miss Stanwyck al¬ ways turns in a top notch performance, and she gets my personal “Oscar” with every role she plays on the screen. She’s certainly a credit to the movie industry, and a truly great and intelligent actress. Bev Montalbano San Francisco, California Plug for Mayo Whoever says that Virginia Mayo isn’t the “Most Beautiful Blonde in the World” should have his eyes examined. I like Grable a lot and her movies are good, but Mayo outbeats her by a mile. It’s true that Virginia hasn’t had a really great picture yet, but inside information says that she’s terrific in “Girl From Jones Beach.” Billy Lawford Buffalo, N. Y. [Ed Note: She is/] Portrait Fan Just want to tell you how much I liked the color portraits of Doris Day, Tyrone Power, John Agar, and Burt Lancaster, in one of your recent issues. They’re terrific! And I certainly did enjoy reading the article, “My Sister Is a Star,” because Lizabeth Scott is one of my favorites. Irma Reid Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Daft about Clift I just had to write and tell you how I feel about that wonderful actor, Mont¬ gomery Clift. There aren’t enough words to describe him. Besides being a mar¬ velous actor — well, just look at him! Let’s have more stories on this marvelous man. Marilyn Boland Brooklyn, New York [Ed.
