A FIGHTER ’’J'akE a look at Ruth Hussey’s determined litt and steady eyes next time you see her on the and you’ll know she will light to get what she wants. In fact she has done so. She fought parental opposition when she wanted to go on the stage. And she fought for her present position on the screen. She began by broadcasting. A year of this was followed by repertory work. Then she was cast as Kay in the stage play of “ Dead End ” and appeared on the Los Angeles stage. She was given a film test and a contract by M.G.M. Two lights followed. After six months, her contract was not renewed. Ruth stuck out her chin, obtained another test, and achieved the very rare distinction of changing the studio's mind about dropping her. And she fought to get her first leading role in “ Rich Man, Poor GirL” Her latest films include “The Phila- delphia Story." “ Flight Command," and “Free and Easy.” /• UNSTARLIKE STAR ETranchot Tone returned to films, after a year on the stage, in “ Trail of the Vigil- antes," followed by “ Nice Girl ” with Deanna Durbin. Thirty-five films in the previous seven years, he’d decided, had earned him the change which is proverbially as good as a rest. He is quite untypical of a Hollywood star. He is slow to make friends, his few close ones including Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck, James Stewart, Francis Lederer and Henry Fonda. He says he’s not “ high hat ’’ and he adds that he’s not “ low brow." He doesn't like small talk or people who talk about subjects they know nothing about. Among his likes are chess and horse racing. Music is one of his chief interests, sleep another. When he is working in a film, he is always in bed by nine- thirty.
