A lot of actresses, who say it, don’t mean it. They say. don't mind how small a part is, so olng as it meat and character.” What they mean is, usualy, that they don't mind because they can’t help it Blanche Yurka says something like that, and she means what has she says. Miss Yurka, the stage star, is doing her fourth movie, “Escape. There are other names ahead of hers in the cast, other roles much longer. The same was true when Miss Yurka appeared as Madame Defarge in “A Tale of Two Cities.” It was not true when she starred in “Queen of the Mob,” for although she had no star billing it was a Yurka movie. It was true for her next, “City for Conquest,” in which she played Ann Sheridan’s mother. In “Escape” there are names like Norma Shearer, Robert Taylor, Alla Nazimova — all ahead of Blanche Yurka's name. You can believe Miss Yurka when she says she likes roles bg and little because in her rich experience she has proved that it isn’t the number of “sides” a part has that counts. “It’s better to-have two scenes an audience remembers than to go drooling through a long part and have everybody else eating the shoulders off it,” she says with a laugh. Miss Yurka is a tall, commanding presence, natural as a spanking wind from the sea, and as refreshing. Tbsen's “The Wild Duck,” one of her stage successes, contains the best proof of her contention. The role of Gina Ekdahl, rated in “sides,” would seem to be about fifth in “importance.” But Ihsen wrote the play (or Miss Yurka played Gina) so that while PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT ol sTop at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! other Gina. Miss Yurka proved it again in her first movie, for Madame Defarge, with her cussed ways and her knitting, still stands out in memory “Queen of the Mob,” of course, ‘was a starring role. She had none of the other players “eating off the shoulders” of the part. About “Escape” she remembers she was required to strike Nazimova, one of her own theatre idols, and it was a case of striker suffering more than strikee. characters are acting their heads off your mind is on What keeps the actress independent of Hollywood, and hence choosey in her work, is that she’s never given up the theatre. For the last four years she has taken out, at intervals, her “one-woman show.” She covers big cities and small villages, in some of which there is not even a theatre. “It's a revelation all over again of what a wonderful country we have,” she says. ‘If I needed anything to spur pride in being an American, these tours would do it. T've found wonderful people in these small places, eager and alert, with cultural backgrounds to shame some of us in the cities.” Miss Yurka, despite her Czech ancestry, is a native American. Paul is her home town. What she wants in roles now, be they big or little, is some thing a little gentle and sweet — more like a human being than the run of “hellions” she has drawn lately. When they asked her to do “Queen of the Mob,” she said, ‘I don't mind that she's 60 years old — just so she’s an interesting enough old hellion.” Qo St \slm also found poor fishing because grayling weren't biting in nearly | record flood waters.
