Screen Villain Is Really A Nice Fellow
Probably the riiost hateful actor on ' the screen today is George Macready, Columbia player. But in off-screen life, Macready is actually a nice fellow, liked by many. So when the studio cast him in the role of a dastardly doubfe-crosser in "The Black Arrow," with Louis Hayward and Janet Blair, .George merely sighed, put on his best villain's ?neer and went to work before the c'ameras. "I guess I have been every sort of 'despicable cur that writers could dream of," Macready uncomplainingly complained. "In the 'Black Arrow' I'm a medieval English villain in armour, but basically I guess I'm just the same nasty fellow I was in 'Gilda,' except that when Islappcd Rita Rayworth I wore mod-\ ein evening clothes and now when* I wallop Janet Blair I wear chain. mail."
