And he always makes it evident that one girl in particular matters to him, not just any little babe. Dan's fans see themselves as that one particular girl. Dan is making a peculiar kind of history in Hollywood these days. He is making the villain more romantic than the hero. He is even putting sex in Westerns. For years, Hollywood has upheld the tradition that you can't put sex in a Western. But, as Waco Johnny Dean in "Winchester 73," Dan is not only a murderous, yellow character, he also manages to insert — as only Duryea can — the hottest scene in the picture when he kills Shelley Winters' fiance just to get her. (Along with the gun, of course, Winchester 73.) In "Al Jennings Of Oklahoma," strictly a train robber Technicolor Western, Dan again makes the fans swoon in his scenes with Gale Storm. When these two pictures hit general public release, Dan will be one-man proof that sex in Westerns is here to stay. Dan has tried to step out of his heelish characters on occasion. Once, he considered hero roles, trying comedy in •'White Tie And Tails." He played a whimsical butler and probably did it better than anyone else could have, but his fan mail dropped, nevertheless. No one, it seems, wants Hollywood's No. 1 heel to reform. His fans wait, from pic ture to picture, to see just what new gimmick he will use in his take-them-orleave-them-alone technique with women. The suspense is brief, for Duryea enthusi asts know by now that the "leave them" idea is just for anxiety's sake. By the end of the picture, he will take them, but good. Dan's fans visualize themselves as the lucky recipients of that bold, calculating, insinuating look in his eye. No matter how much of a rat he is, they want to see that clinch. They want to see him get the girl, and vice versa. She may get slapped. Indeed, many of Duryea's leading ladies — from Joan Bennett to Dorothy Lamour — have gotten themselves slapped in his pictures. But the fans would like to be she-who-gets-slapped when Dan picks up his leading ladies, dusts them off, and says, "That was just on account of you forgot you belong to me, baby. Just on account . . ." That's where his fans swoon ecstatically— automatically figuring the slap was worth it — and settle back to enjoy themselves vicariously while Dan folds the beautiful leading lady in his strong, manly, and mean arms. As one little fan wrote last week, "No matter how bad you are to the girl, I always know you are going to make it up to her somehow." That "somehow" — compellingly suggested, but never revealed — is what has skyrocketed Dan Duryea, the heel, to the top as the fans' new romantic interest — right over the heads of the meek, saltof-the-earth heroes. Bogarts may turn sissy, and Ladds may prove to be just sugar sweet. But Dan is one star who won't follow the heel-to-hero formula. He has an excellent reason: his fans won't let him! Your Guide To Current Films Continued from page 15 he finally confesses he killed a man. To prove he's sane, young John takes the men to the scene of the alleged crime. Not only is the place covered with dust, which sh~ws no one had been there for months, but John's description of two men he says witnessed the killing, indicate he's crazy. The two men so vividly described by John have been dead for ten years. It takes a lot more than words before John sets things straight in this eerie, unusual Western that has Chill Wills and Lois Butler to help John dish out cold shivers. Tea For Two (Technicolor) Warner Brothers SHOULD suit everyone to a 71 what with being a lighthearted musical that sports such favorites as Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Eve Arden, Billy De Wolfe and S. Z. Sakall. Doris' guardian, Cuddles Sakall, loses much of her millions for her during the 1929 stock market crash. Completely unaware that her finances were blitzed, Doris promises to back a Broadway play produced by finagler De Wolfe. Beside wanting a starring vehicle for herself, Doris thinks it's high time folks became songwriter Mac Rae conscious. The spritely madcap antics that occur because Cuddles hasn't courage to tell Doris she can't carry out her plans are fun until it looks as if the John Barrymore, Jr., and Lois Butler in "High Lonesome," an eerie and unusual Western film. 70
