ALEC KELLAWAY
TAKES IT ON THE CHIN! Alec Kellaway is a man of many parts. In the last year or so, he has seen himself on the Australian screen as a ragged pickpocket, a drunken beachcomber, a magician, and as an effeminate shopwalker in a costume salon. But it is doubtful if any of these facts have caused him the embarrass' ment that he is experiencing at the moment as “Mad Jack” in Cinesound’s production, “Gone to the Dogs.” For the part, he must wear five days’ growth of stubble upon his usually clean-shaven face. And in the bus en route to the studio the other day, a considerate lady passenger made the sympathetic observation that it was really pitiful that such a nicely dressed young man should sink to such depths of facial degradation. “But she still didn’t offer to pay my fare,” said Alec ruefully. “I'm at the stage now where I wear an overcoat on even the hottest day just so that I can turn my coat collar up!”
