POWELL—Haines Agent Saturday ; ! role in pict [ By VICTOR GUNSON Central Press Correspondent HOLLYWC Rugged Dick Powell, who did what Hollywood D - “eaid was impossible, isn't satisfied with himself yet. He put it very simply: have a long way to go.” Seven years ago Dick was com- pletely dissatisfied with®his career. It was nct & question of money, for Dick prevailed on the studio to tear up his lucrative contract while it still had months to run. Dick wanted good actin roles, instead of roles in musicals where he sang at any provocation, or—as he felt himself—at no provocation at all. However, when Dick set forth as a free agent to get tro kind of a chance he wanted, he found almost the same question on every vair of lips in Hollywood: “Who would want a crooner to play a tuagh “T still He Tried for Years That is what went on for, almos! five years. Dick tried in vain to | persuade studio executives to al- | low him to play the part Fred Mac- | Murray had in “Double Indem- nity.” That set-back would have dis- couraged anyone, except someone | of Powell's perseverance and con- fidence that he could do what he set out to do. Then Dicl; prevailed on the late Charles Koerner, studio production boss, to let him play Raymond Chandler’s tough detective, Philip Marlowe, in “Murder, My Sweet.” Powell's performance was so sensational it rocked the cash cus- tomers, as well as the critics, right out of their plush seats. Overnightt Dick became a screen rival of such a stella: performer of tough roles as Humphrey Bo- gart, one of his close personzl frierds. From there Dick went into an- other thriller, “Cornered,” in which he battled Nazi agents in South America. Right now he’s in the midst of a Jem production at Co- lumbia, “Johnny O'Clock,” in which je plays a tough gambler with a senge of humor. Dick had shown Hollywood he meant e).actly what he said seven NOW...the most girminded people in the world will get the most complete air- line ‘service, with inauguration of four- engine Douglas DC-4 Starliners.
