i here today of pneumonia. He
was 66.
Rose died about 3 a.m„ E8T,
I in a nursing home where he
was admitted Wednesday—the
day after he arrived in this
Caribbean resort for a winter
vacation.
“He died of a severe, very
rapid form or pneumonia, said
Dr. Ludlow Burke, one of the
physicians who treated Rose.
Burke said the showman took
ill shortly after he arrived at
his home here.
Rose’s personal physician
from New York flew here
Wednesday night in a vain
effort to save bis life.
ITie Broadway entrepreneur
underwent cardiovascular surge
ry last December In a Houston,
Tex., hospital. Surgeons at that
time performed a graft on the
main trunk artery that pumps
blood from the heart.
Rose, son of Itinerant sales
man William Samuel Rosen
berg, became one of the
nation’s leading showmen, an
art connoisseur, columnist and
a multimillionaire stockholder.
He was born Sept. 6 , 1899
legend has it the birth took
place on the kitchen table of his
family’s apartment In the
Bronx.
Rose began his career as a
showman in the 1920s as a
songwriter and, over several
decades, turned out such hits
as “That Old Gang of Mine,”
: It’s Only a Paper Moon,” and
: Barney Google.”
But his real rise to the
pinnacle of theatrical success
came as the promoter of the
famed Aquacade, stellar attrac
tion of the New York World’s
Fair of 1939. He married the
show’s star, Eleanor Holm.
The diminutive, moon-faced
Rose first attracted attention
as a shorthand expert before
World War I. In 1918, he
became chief stenographer for
Bernard M. Baruch, who then
was chairman of the war
industries board.
Once his career in Tin Pan
Alley was established, he
became a nightclub Impresario.

John Wayne;
Good Guy No. 1
By DICK KLEINER
HOLLYWOOD (NEA) — John
Wayne has been in the motion
picture business more than 30
years and has appeared in some
200 films. But now, as he stars
in Howard Hawks’ “El Dorado,”
he is as enthusiastic as he ever
was.
He is always there, when he’s
needed, with his lines memoris
ed. He shows the other actors
little tricks — how to fall, for
example. He kids around with
the cast and crew. And he seems
to look and act as well as ever.
“I feel fine,” he says. Part of
one lung was removed in an
operation for cancer a little more
than a year ago. “You know, we
only use 80 per cent of the cap
acity of our lungs anyhow, so
maybe I’m down to 75 per cent

now.
‘1 think the best thing for me
was to do that picture — ‘The
Sons of Katie Elder’ — a f e w
months after the operation. We
did that in Durango, Mexico —
at an elevation of 8,500 feet. It
was good for me, that experi
ence.”
Wayne, with all the pictures
he’s done, believes
he knows how the audience
wants to see him.
“The audience,” he says,
“wants to see a manly man.”
And so he is careful about the
parts he chooses. He thinks he
can place himself in the minds
of his fans and figure out if
they would or would not like to
see him in certain parts.
“Many people say," Wayne
says, “that I’ve only played one
part, but that’s not true. I’ve
played many different kinds of
parts, but there is one thing that
is always the same. The charac
ter I play must live by a code.
“It’s all right to surprise the
audience, but you shouldn’t try
to fool them. People see me on
the screen and they know they
won’t be fooled — they have a
head start in understanding the
character and they know a little
about what to expect.”
He points to Robert Montgo
mery as one actor who fooled
the p u b 1 i c — in “Night Must
Fall” — by playing a madman,
after they had come to expect
him to be something entirely dif
ferent.
“He won an Oscar for it,”
Wayne says, “but he lost a ca
reer.”
Wayne says that he’ll play
heavies — as he did in “R e d
River” — as long as the heavy
lives by a code which is, to the
audience, understandable. He’d
never play a madman, however.
“I’d be a heavy any time,” he
says, “as long as I was only
mean and not petty or small.
That’s the difference.”
This theory has evolved slow
ly, through trial and error. At
first, he says, he wondered if
he’d make it in movies.
“When I was young, I used
to see these sharp guys — guys
snapping their fingers, making
wisecracks, with their she-- shi
ned so nicely — and I’d think I’d
never get anywhere in this busi
ness. But I think I had one thing
going for me — the audience
could identify with me.”
People often wonder if anoth
er John Wayne will ever come
along. Wayne himself thinks
there are plenty of promising
younger actors.
“That kid Chuck Connors," he
says, “is good, and he'd be
even better in movies where
they took more time. And you
couldn’t want more of a pers
onality than Steve McQueen
has.”

Wayne has no thought of step
ping down, or even slowing
down. Activity agrees with him.
But nowadays he knows what he
wants, and he holds out for it.
