"I've IWo € omplaints" —■Bon Ameche
By CONNIE CURTIS
■ Life, according to Don Ameche, has always pulled out an easy chair for him!
Mistreated? It's a word in the dictionary to him, even though there are fans and friends who have consistently maintained that Don Ameche's many talents have not been given just recognition.
He is equally at home in comedy and drama and musicals. Let a producer hit a snag in casting and he begins dreaming that Don Ameche is under contract to him.
The man-in-a-pinch — that's Ameche. And, as is usual with such dependables, he goes along calmly and without fanfare.

The comedians of the air have played their part in confirming the national suspicion that it is Mr. Ameche, and not Mr. Bell, who is responsible for the great American privacy-disturber. The picture offered such a rich source for quips that for weeks on end you couldn't turn a dial without hearing a reference to Don Ameche Bell.
It doesn't take much to start an actor — or anyone else for that matter — on a discussion of his grievances. But Don looks blank if you ask for a list of his complaints.
"Everyone's been good to me," he insists. And he means it. "I've had good pictures. They have been varied in character and appeal. I've never been labeled as a certain-part actor, I haven't been typed to the point where I have been limited in my assignments.
