For others, especially those associated in nonpro stage activities, the rub comes when the ego is bruised by anything but a flattering remark delivered in a superlative vein and carrying no permanent value. It is unfortunate that the critic is pledged to honesty.

It makes him respected on the professional level of show business and subject to be cussed and discussed in non-pro circles.

While our heart belongs to Iledda Hopper, we can be true after a fashion to Hedda's arch enemy, Louella Parsons, especially when Lolly has praise for Earl Holliman, in whom she places such esteem as an actor she personally has nominated the Shreveport-Oil City movie actor for stardom. Louella goes on record with her "nomination" in the March issue of Modern Screen magazine with a couple of hundred well-chosen words on Earl to make, an Ark-La-Texan bust his buttons with pride. "With his angular face, high bones and fiercely determined eyes, he doesn't look like an actor," Miss Parsons rhapsodizes.

"But as Burt Lancaster, Katharine Hepburn and Wendell Corey can tell you they had to do their tip-top best to keep this young man from stealing 'The Rainmaker' from them. I've seldom seen a finer supporting performance from a newcomer. "While he is not a product of Actors' Studio, Earl is just as dedicated as though he were Marlon Brando and Anthony Perkins combined," Lolly continues. He began his acting career in high school, later studied -drama on the GI bill at the University of Southern California and the Pasadena Playhouse. Then he just started hounding Paramount Studios' casting directors until he got a bit role in "The Girls of Pleasure After this, young Holliman was off to the races.

He appeared in succession in 'Gunfight at the OK 'The Burning and 'Giant. "He loves to dance and in high school was quite a jitterbug. 'Now I'm slowed down to a rhumba and a samba, he grins. Despite his terpsichorean talents he doesn't go out much. 'Richard Widmark told me when I first came here not to become a night club actor, he explains.

Miss Parsons finishes off with the news that Earl is very serious about being on a self-improvement kick, and the very diplomatic actor from Shreveport and Oil City is quoted as saying, "I'm taking courses in music appreciation and literature so when I'm important enough to be interviewed by say, Louella Parsons, I can talk about something besides my next picture." Holliman showed a bushel and a peck of wisdom in that last statement. It was befitting an actor and a gentleman from the Ark-La-Tex, who is as cordial in his greetings to The Times' amusements editor as he is to INS' Louella. He is one of a number of per FRI.
