Ryan, one of the screen's solid citizens, today lashed out at some of his fellow townspeople for at- taching themselves to figures who bring bad publicity to Hollywood. For instance, Porfirio Rubirosa, the 20th-century Don Juan, “I think a guy like that should be shunned when he comes to Hollywood,” said Ryan, an ex- Marine who speaks plainly and has muscles to back up his state- ments. “Instead, people rush for the opportunity to throw him cock- tail parties and receptions.” He said the lothario’s current amour, Zsa Zsa Gabor, hasn't profited from the headlines. Her film salary is still small. “And that’s just what she's worth, as far as ability is con- cerned,” he said. “During my career, I’ve often wondered if I shouldn’t go after the more sensational stuff,” he said. “Every actor thinks about it, especially those who are ‘dull copy’ like myself. I have a wife and family and lead a very quiet life. I've never been in any | scandal. “It's just as well nothing like that ever happened to me. After all, you have to live with your- self. And I’m convinced that scan- dals don’t help a career, despite thinking to the contrary. “I've done a lot of traveling on the road in the past few years, talking to theater men and ordin- ary citizens all over the country. I found out that Rita Hayworth’s career was actually hurt at the time of her romance with Aly Khan. “I don’t know about Bob Mit- chum, but I imagine he was hurt | during his scandal. Afterwards? Well, that’s a different matter. | People have short memories.” | He observed that Holywood has changed in recent years, advanc-| ing somewhat falteringly in the| | direction of respectability. This is a good thing, he said. The young couple will visit in ‘were. Read The Citizen Daily TELEPHON: Citizen Office, 2-5661 Women By Dorothy Roe AP Women’s Editor Any woman who allows herself to look old at 55 is merely a dope, says Lilly Dache, a high priestess of glamor. “Every woman can be young, vi- tal, attractive at any age,” insists this French dynamo. “All she has to do is work at it. Nobody needs to have gray hair or wrinkles any more. Such things are merely a sign of laziness.” The volatile Lilly sat on the lawn of her country home at Pound Ridge, N.Y., managing to look glamorous in a pair of blue jeans and an old T-shirt. The noted milli- ner — who started her New York career 25 years ago as a salesgirl at Macy’s, after arriving from her native France with $13 — has just been named president of three cor- Porations devoted to the cause of feminine beauty, one making cos- metics, another perfumes, the third hair cosmetics. She directs Lt. Nealon Goes To New Squadron Lieutenant William G. Nealon, USN, former Assistant Operations Officer of the Fleet All Weather Training Unit, Atlantic, at the Na- val Air Station here, has been transferred to Fighter Squadron 82 for duty involving flying. He is married to the former Miss Margaret Hiestand of Los Angeles, Calif. They have two children, Terry Ann and Laurie Catherine. Lt. Nealon is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter L. Nealon of 6 Fair- view Terrace, Malden, Mass. LT. HARTMAN IS SENT TO POST GRAD SCHOOL Lieutenant Richard V. Hartman, USN, former Assistant Fighter Di- rector Officer of the Fleet All Wea- ther Training Unit, Atlantic, has been transferred to the U.S. Navy Post Graduate School, Monterey, Calif. ,to take a two-year course in Electrical Engineering. Lt. Hartman is married to the former Doris Ruth House of Webs- ter City, Iowa. They have a daughter, Kathleen Joyce, age 6 years. He is the son of Mrs. Hulda | Hartman Kestler of Dallas, Oregon. | Betty Hutton Sheds Mate SANTA MONICA, Calif. —Act- ress Betty Hutton has been award- ed a divorce from her second hus- O’Curran, after testifying that he flew into rages that once left her Paralyzed for a month. The 33-year-old blonde song and dance performer testified Thurs- day that he “was a perfectionist pa a human being cannot be per- fect.” Miss Hutton married O’Curran March 18, 1952, and separated last April 20. He did not contest the divorce, CROONER UNDERGOES HOSPITAL CHECKUP SANTA MONICA, Calif. Bing Crosby is undergoing observation of a kidney ailment he has had for several days but his doctor Says surgery isn’t contemplated at this time. | The crooner entered St. John’s | hospital on Wednesday. Dr. Freder- | ick C. Schlumberger termed it a | periodic checkup and said there | has been no flareup of the ail- ment which he declined to de- scribe, | O’LEARY TRANSFERRED | |these with one hand while design- jing hats with the other. Miss Dache, who is Mrs. Jean Despres in private life, has been studying the aston! g vitality of |the queen bee, who lives 60 times }longer than the humble worker | bees, and who is fed on a diet of “royal jelly.” Lilly recently brought back a commercial cos- metic containing the “royal jelly” ingredient. Says she: “I don’t man that women will live 60 times longer than men if they use this cream on their faces. But perhaps they can look 60 times as young, and that would be better. This ingredient has been tested in France for several years. It costs $2,000 a pound, and has been found to contain all the known vitamins and a number which haven't even been named yet.” At a time when most women would be thinking of nothing more strenuous than competitions of the local garden club, Lilly is starting a new career. “Always I have wanted to design the whole woman,” she says. “A woman can wear a beautiful hat and a stunning gown, but if her face is tired and her hair is faded, what good does it do? “The inner spark of beauty and vitality must be there, or all the beautiful clothes are wasted. So now I am starting with the woman herself. I want to show her how to keep her face fresh and glowing, her hair beautiful and shining, her body young and lithe. Then she is ready for the outer glamor — the hat to call attention to her face, the gown to dramatize the best points of her figure. And as a final touch, of course, she must be sur- rounded by fragrance. That is the complete picture of the modern woman, whose duty is. to be as beautiful as she can. And she can.” Servicemen’s Special $1.00 Day PRINCE GEORGE HOTEL 1011 FIFTH STREET Miami Beach, Fla. Printing... Embossing Engraving ...
