"Pin-Down Girl”
Bowling belle — lively Lulu Belle, singing star of the National
Barn Dance air show, has been voted “Pin-Down Girl” by the Woman’s
International Bowling Congress. Lulu Belle is an ardent kegler her
self, and her “southpaw” bowling technique is tops in her community
bowling league.
Glenn Ford is a nice guy. Not
too all-fired handsome <a point in
his favor, if you ask me' but
husky, manly and modest.
Has he some high ultimate goal
in acting? Glenn grinned. “I just
hope my luck holds out.”
Dark-haired, boyish-faced Glenn
survived his movie debut in
“Heaven With a Barbed-Wire
Fence” several years ago (“It was
awful,” he admits) to play, event
ually, opposite Bette Davis in
►
“Stolen Life.”
That was a big kick for him.
Bette wasn’t aware of it, Marine
Sgt. Ford was in a line of thrilled
service men to whom she once
I handed doughnuts at the Holly
wood Canteen. At 15 he had seen
l Bette in “Jezebel” and walked
home in the rain, thinking, “What
an actress!”
Glenn was a Sunday School
teacher then who contemplated
either the ministry or the diplo
matic service. Three nights a
week he revolved a searchlight on
the roof of a Santa Monica thea
ter (for $5 a week and free mov
ies) after carrying an afternoon
paper route. Other times he sold
firecrackers, operated a beach
sidewalk bus and cleaned up a
barroom six mornings a week
from 5 to 8 a.m.
He couldn’t afford college. He
became a stage hand, stage man
ager and finally an actor upon
discovering "they made 15 times
the money for less work.”
In "Gilda” Glenn’s co-star is
Rita Hayworth.
"In the Marines, the guys would
ask what it’s like to kiss Rita Hay
worth. I’d say, ‘Aw—’ ”—he sup
pressed a blunt expletive—"or if
they insisted, I'd say, ‘Wonder
ful’!"
Klenn passed up a Naval Re
erve commission to enlist in the
Corps and went through boot
camp wdth Tyrone Power. From
prop man to director, he helped
make training films aboard war
ships. And suffered a lot of rib
bing when pals saw Hollywood
movies of Glenn as a two-gun
cowboy, or as a sailor.
Hes now starting “Gallant
Journey” in the role of the late
John J. Montgomery, professor of
ohysics at Santa Clara (Calif.)
College who, Columbia studio de
clares, made the first controlled
flight 20 years before the Wright
Brothers.
Glenn is married to Eleanor
Powell, and they have a year-old
son whom Glenn plans to send to
college. Yould young Peter some
day carry a paper route, like his
dad?
“Darned right! And he’ll grow
vegetables, which I’ll buy from
him at, say, 25 cents a bunch.”
Not a bad profit, I reflected, on
a handful of carrots.
TOWN TANKS
UP ON MARKERS
GREAT FALLS, Mont.— (/P) —
Great Falls has solved the prob
lem of how to dispose of old,
junked hot water tanks by using
them for street markers.
The old tanks are of no value
as scrap, experts said. The city
paints them attractively and sets
them at street intersections. The
street names are painted upon the
sides of the tanks.
