HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITES
_____
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
Hollywood’s matinee idols are
taking a terriffic beating these
days—they are turning bad men
Three of them who have desert
ed the copybook code of behavior
are Tyrone Power, Robert Mont
gomery and George Brent.
Montgomery gets himself hang
ed in “The Earl of Chicago;”
Brent portrays a fugitive in “Till
We Meet Again,” and Power, be
lieve it or not, is a gangster in
his latest.
Some of the biggest and best
roles of the year are going to be
accepted villians. Basil Rathbone
is following up his role as the
usurping duke in “Tower of Lon
don” with a spine-chilling port
trayal of a murderer in “Des
tiny.” Akim Tamaroff central fig
ure of “The Way of All Flesh” is
an embezzler, and Brian Donlevy
is starred in “Down Went Mc
Ginty” as a corrupt politician.
Edward G. Robinson turns
from the heroic Dr. Ehrlich to
another gangster in “Brother Or)
chid,” and Albert Dekker is a i
singularly callous disciple of
science in “Dr. Cyclops.”
Only in the western films, it!
seems, is the hero still a sugar
coated cavalier who rides about
doing nothing but good and flex
ing his muscles.
NINE BURIED ALIVE
UNDER TONS OF PRUNES
SANTA ROSA, Calif., March
30—At least nine itinerants, in
cluding two women who sought j
shelter from a driving rain under
a raised fruit shed floor, were1
killed when the warehouse floor
collapsed, burying them under
tons of prunes.
Authorities identified only 3
and said they were unable to'
tell how many more than the
nine were buried alive until they;
cleared the wreckage.
Rescue work is complicated by
tottering building walls which!
threatened momentarily to col-|
lapse.

HIS VIEW —“Any peace is
better than war,” said Prince
Bertil of Sweden (above) dur
ing Philadelphia interview after
news of Finnish-Russian treaty.
