HARD TO FIND DRIVE "I needed a young man with a great deal of drive to be able to get himself to America," the director explained.

"It's hard to find boys with drive, especially in California. I looked everywhere in New York, here in Hollywood, in Chicago, in France, Italy, Greece." One of those he interviewed in Athens was a handsome young Greek with burning eyes and the name of Stathis Gial-lelis. Kazan gave him the usual comment: "I'll let you know." That wasn't good enough for the lad. He earned his own way to New York, took a job iish-washing and haunted Kazan until he got the job. The name is pronounced Stah-thees' Yal-la-lees' and he says: "I will not change it.

Yes, it may be hard for Americans to pronounce. HOLLYWOOD (AP) Director Elia Kazan explains how he began writing screen plays: "I decided it was silly to continue wailing about the lack of good story material when I could find a wealth of it right in my own family The result is America America, which Kazan filmed largely in Greece and Turkey and which he is now finishing with a week of interiors at Warner Brothers studio in Burbank, Calif. It could be called Kazan's love letter to his adopted land. Of Greek origin, he came here from Istanbul, (then Constantinople) Turkey, when he was four. America America is based on experiences of Kazan 't, uncle, a displaced Greek trying to get from Turkey to the new world.

I got to know him when a crowd of us used to gather at his house on Tower Road in Beverly Hills W. C. Fields, Tommy Mitchell, Ben Hecht, Gene Fowler and Roland Young were among the regulars. "Jack didn't want me to go into pictures; he thought I should be a stage actor, but I was broke and couldn't wait. Jack was equally broke at the time.

His film salary was a week, but he was allowed only $100 because of taxes, bills, and other thines. I lived on part of that $100 for awhile." ODD-JOB PERIOD Anthony Quinn his friends call him Tonv wai born in Chihuahua, Mexico. His fa'her vas Irish, his mother Mexican. The family was poor and nomadic, living here and there, landing finally in California, where young Tony worked at odd jobs. He is now one of the most solvent actors in the hemisphere, with a handsome town house in New York, a valuable art collection, and extensive property on the island of Rhodes.

He is married to Katharine de Mille, daughter of the late Cecil B. de Mille. They have four children. Talking again of acting and such, he lit a cigarette and said: "I think Larry (Sir Laurence) Olivier is one of the most dedicated men of the theatre in all the world, but I wish he cared more about content than he does. To me there are 'how' actors and 'what' actors.

Larry is a great 'how' actor." Tony's own attitude toward life is exuberantly affirmative. He never tires of learning, never tires of living, and enjoys hopping from one role to another in theatre and motion pictures. "I'm tired of the negative approach in our theatre of today," he said. "I want to see more that is positive. I feel that Robert Bolt is a very positive man and his A Man For All Seasons is a very fine play." begins where the other big ones leave off! ti SANTA MONICA, Calif.

(AP) Actor Troy Donahue filed a $200,000 suit Tuesday against a magazine and a girl who wrote an article for it titled: The First Time Troy Made Love To Me."

He's been a teetotaler for years. "I saw what drinking did to John Barry-more," he said the other day, "and I decided that wasn't for me." Quinn brings all the finesse of the late W. C. Fields to the role of a drunk in the beguiling play entitled Tchin-Tchin, which co-stars Margaret Leighton. He was a great admirer of the Fields technique, but to him there was one actor who rose above the pack.

TAKE IT FROM virtually Incomprehensible to, say, Laurence Olivier. It is an argot that springs from the underworld of London and although it is probably familiar to Scotland Yard, it is as foreign to most Englishmen as American talk. Terence is now sharing important screen time with Olivier and Simone Signoret in Term of Trial, the James Woolf production for Warner Bros. His first important film job was the title role in Billy Budd.

For the record, he speaks an approv ed English on the set and on the screen. His knowledge of so-called thieves' argot is simply the fringe benefit of a rough-hewn childhood. HARDLY MAYFAIR "They are words and phras es one would hardly use in May-fair," he said. "Nor come to think of it, in Beverly Hills." The slang is derived in part from Cockney rhyming slang, in which bottle and glass means class, and therefore, to say "He's no bottle" means he has no class. And "Sweeney Todd" means flying squad and "Harold Lloyd" means celluloid, or more loosely, the films.

In the language of East Lon don, trousers are "strides" and an overcoat is a "smother" and a telephone is a "trombone" or sometimes "eau de cologne." Furthermore, the "Jack and Jill" is the till, "elephant and castle" (pronounced ia a parcel; "torn" (from tom foolery) means jewelry; "hamp steads" (from Hampstead Heath) means teeth, and "flowery" is a cell (from flowery dell.) COUNTERFEIT NOTES Counterfeit notes are called "snide," keys are called "twirls," "bent" means stolen a diamond is a "groin" and "porridge" means prison. "You can see that the talk may become pretty obscure to an outsider," Terrence points out. "For instance, if I said I was going to get my jam-jar and go to the rub-a-dub for some snout, would you know I meant I was going in my car to the club to buy some cigarettes?"
