SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor ‘Thursday, May 14, 1953 Mile Reef.” Harry Carey Jr., is the son of famous movie star Harry Carey, Sr., but he didn’t pick a movie career until after he had come out of World War II in 1946. He was @ bosun’s mate in the U.S. Navy. Harry is a mild mannered guy with a nice speaking voice as well as the right vocal equipment to sing ballads a la Burl Ives. In fact it ‘was Ives who first interested him in folk tunes as part of Am- ericana. “We were living in Great Neck, Long Island, in 1940,” Carey said, “and Ives used to come up to the house to see Pop. I used to sit and listen and developed a liking for the authentic ballads. I never sang the ones I learned except at private gatherings until John Ford pushed me into singing. I was shy about breaking into song before a crowd until he made me get up ‘on a parallel, one of those movie set platforms. That snapped me out of it, I still don’t think sing- ng will be any big part of my » but I keep working at it. T learned to play a four string ten- or guitar, but I’d rather not ac- company myself. I like to sing with Jimmy Harakas playing his guitar or with some expert like him, Then I can concentrate on the ballad,” Carey said. ‘Harkakas is the Greek scholar and musician-singer’ who is here with the movie company on loca- shooting of “Twelve Mile Reef,” which involves Greek spongefish- ermen. * Carey is of English, Scottish and a bit of Irish blood. His typical Tuddy complexion is gradually turning tan under the Key West sun. Most of the tan was acquir: basliqiert!

The voice belongs to Harry Carey, Jr., the six-foot, red-blond actor who plays “Griff,” @ Conch sponge fisherman, in Twentieth Century-Fox’s “Twelve Page 5 career. Fact is, I wanted to be a horse trainer. Someday maybe I will earn enough to own at least one thorobred horse like Dick Boone’s,” Carey said slowly. Asked how he finally decided to go into films, Carey mused, “One day I was with the kids watching | a parade. It was after the war.) My. dad was making a series of Westerns. No big productions, just | little cheap movies and he asked | me why I didn’t take a bit part. So I tried it. Jean Parker was in that first ‘film. After that I did several small parts.. Then Jack Ford came into the picture. He's | a man who draws people out. . . he knows how to bring out latent Possibilities. I owe an awful lot to! him for getting me started,” Ca- Tey added. | He said his first real challenge came in “Three Godfathers.” “It was the hardest role, but I look back on that with fond memories as my first big part. In ‘Twelve Mile Reef’ I just have a small part, but I like it. . .even the shoving around scene we made yesterday. Boone sure gave me the works! You see I’m supposed to be a Conch sponger. I’m a good guy in the story. . .except for a few minor villanies. . .like socking one fellow on the head, stealing sponges. . .and burning a boat,” he grinned. Carey said he’d made a few Personal appearances and that bal- lad singing was an asset for that. He likes legitimate stage, too, and has appeared in Gregory Peck’s theatre and other local playhous- es in Clifornia. “‘I got a terrific kick out of playing the part of Fred in ‘John Loves Mary.’ Fred is the goof, you know, who is in- } volved with the Cockney girl who follows him to American and finds out he’s married and expects to be a father.” On Saturday, May 16, Harry Carey, Jr. will be 32 years old. He looks as if he were in his mid- dles twenties or Jess. Wish it were possible to-import Ives to sing “Happy Birthday”. to a mighty nice guy! K.W.
