Klk MOVKS TV JUOfOf JohMowJi HOLLYWOOD (NEA) Exclusively Yours: Hollywood's straining at the censorship leash in its fight against TV Is bringing back the smother-'em-with- kisses type of love scenes made famous by Greta Garbo and John Gilbert in the days when a white bearskin rug was more important to the screen than GinemaScope. In two minutes and 54 seconds of one scene in Paramount's "Rear Window," Grace Kelly, the frigid blonde of "Mo- gambo," kisses Jimmy Stewart on the face, lips and neck exactly 53 times. It's no press-agent mirage; either. I sat in a projection room and kept score. (Such a life!) Now the censors must decide whether the celluloid is okay.

Paramoont's hopeful. The script has Jimmy confined to a wheel chair with a broken leg in a cast and the poor guy can't move. Maybe there's something to giving the censors a break. Here it is only January and we already have 1954 's most unforgettable character. The judge, of coarse, who married Marilyn and Joe and then "forgot" to kiss the bride.

Two partners in an independent movie-producing company recently called it a day. Explaining why they couldn't get along, one partner said of the other: "His head was bigger than both of us."

F. O'Hara, archbishop of Philadelphia, has attacked the U.S. Supreme Court decision limiting state movie censorship.

Folk singer Burl Ives and actor Gilbert Roland figured in the role of peacemakers when two sets of twins got embroiled in an one or two punch a meeting of the Hollywood foreign press contingent to honor film personalities. Involved in the disagreement were Bertil and Gustave Unger, Hollywood correspondents for Scandinavian newspapers, and Aly and Amad Sadick, cotton brokers and importers. Witnesses said the argument apparently started over seating arrangements for the annual banquet. The Ungers, it was reported, contended the Sadick twins were occupying their seats.

As the argument boiled up Ives and Roland stepped in. Ives, a hefty man, separated the twins. Roland took on the job of trying to quiet Gloria Geale, a member of the banquet committee who became almost hysterical because of the trouble. After things calmed down the banquet proceeded and the organization known as the International Press of Hollywood, with 120 members, announced its choice of Marilyn Monroe, Robert Taylor and Alan Ladd as "world favorite" actress and actors. Other awards included a "best actor" citation for Spencer Tracy for his work in "The "best actress" for Audrey Hepburn for her role in "Roman Holiday," and "best picture" for "The Robe."

Death Ends Famous Love Story By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD The death of opera star Dorothy Kirsten's doctor husband wrote a final, tragic chapter to one of the strongest love stories in show business. Death ironically ended the brief happiness they both gave up so much to have. Five years ago this month, Miss Kirsten chanced to be singing in San Antonio, as the guest, of the opera company there. At a reception after her performance she met a man she lated called "the first real love of my life." Loves Married Man But there were complications. She -already had a spouse.

So did he. The gossip columns began dropping needles here and there about Dorothy's friendship for a certain Texas doctor. Four years ago she finally confessed to the United Press "I am deeply in love with a married man." But she refused to reveal the doctor's name. It became the "mystery romance" of the lorgnette and aria set. "His wife doesn't even know about Us and he's still trying to talk her into a divorce," Dorothy wept then.

"We didn't want this out until we are legally free. This can ruin his career, or mine. All these nasty stories can hurt us all. Why can't they leave us alone?" She tried to keep the romance secret, she explained then, to protect the doctor's career in his community. "I don't want him to be hurt, or his wife, or his daughter who's in college now," she said at that time.

Both Divorced "This feeling between us is a beautiful thing. We want to keep it that way. We've been very careful. We never have dated in Texas or Hollywood. We'll wait until I get my divorce and he gets his." Later that year, Dr.

Some Film Stories Stay in Limelight By BOB HOLLYWOOD (Si Filmland followups: Usually I write 'em and forget 'em. But some stories, like certain-generals, don't fade away. Such as the one with Dick Powell and his direction of "Caine Mutiny Court Martial." You may remember that Powell told about how Henry Fonda got moody over direction of the play.

But Dick claimed that "the bulk of the show was his. work, although Charles Laughton took oyer the direction in the last week of rehearsals. Producer Paul Gregory read the story in "New York and blew his top. He ordered Powell's name removed as director. Powell then blew his top and said Gregory was trying to wriggle out of paying the director's fee.

Dick went into a huddle with his lawyers and plans to sue Then there was Jane Russell's break with boss Howard Hughes over her dance in "French Line." She agreed with the censors that it should be cut from the picture. Some critics printed that her outburst was probably a publicity stunt. Russell's temper flared at the idea. She even threatened a hit in the face for one of the critics- Dick Williams of the Los Angeles Mirror. And the controversy over the picture is still raging.

Actually, Jane's siding with the censors was spontaneous. She THOMAS wants to avoid being a controversial figure in the future. With her figure, that's difficult, What about our girl Ida Lupino? She told all about how her esr tranged husband, Howard Duff, didn't go for the "domestic bit" and how she felt sorry for him because he would feel lonely'later on. Well, maybe he felt remorse after reading her words. At any rate, he came home the next day.
