In three—“Black Angel,” “Sahara” and “Lady On A Train"—he was a decent guy, but his fans didn't like it. Letters poured in to the studio urging him to stick with meanie roles. Both the studio and Duryea | heeded the fans' letters, and so he now is one of the screen's mgnes:‘ In “Larceny,” for instance, he engineers a deal in which John Payne betrays Joan Caulfield’s love, ; sets up a $100,000 swindle, black- mails Joan's father and tries to kill Payne. How much lower can you get? But in real life, Duryea is the father of two young boys and has been in the happily-married cate- gory for over 15 years. LEADERS IN B. B.
