TROUBLE AHEAD FOR MITCHUM?
(Continued from page 29)
a moment — then he released his grip, re her all the money he had in his pockand told her to get lost. He hated a ef — but he understood one. Fomen will understand this better than J|n. Women see the lust for life in Bob chum, they suspect an inner brutality — they see, through a magic door, his :lence matched by a strange, brooding derness. No matter what he does, they 1 never desert him. It's a loyalty bred it hat same instinct that tells a wife her ;band wouldn't beat her if he didn't love
Sob Mitchum is a furious man in busis, as well as every other phase in his At times in Hollywood, he has been ;led hard to handle, a phrase used when actor doesn't do as he is told. An exi nation of the incident involved, how>r will usually show that all he's done put his cards face-up on the table and « that's the way it figures — and that's j way it's going to be, or else. And he iyer kids about that "or else." (/Iitchum has the trust and respect of ward Hughes, his boss — an attitude i^ard people that Mr. Hughes never opts lightly. Bob earned that by talking rin and meaning what he said. His rent brush with the law in Hollywood is -losed incident. The fiddler was paid, and show's over. But it was during those ing days that Hughes learned that Mitam was a man of quality. )n the assumption that Bob would get same break as that of thousands of ier Los Angelenos who face the local urts on the same charges each year — tit is, probation or a suspended sentence tihe studio had started a picture with the r. The trial came midway in the shoot..; of the film, and the day before he was tgo to court, Hughes called Bob into his •jce for a meeting. Somebody asked Bob at was going to happen the next day. I'I'm going to jail," said Bob. 'But you can't!" chorused the assembled

executives. "You've got the best lawyer in the state. He's a cinch to get you off."
"I don't want to get off," said Bob. "I want to pay off. I want to hold up my head again. I see by the papers that I'll probably get special treatment. I don't want any part of it."
There were $300,000 already in the film. The executives were speechless. Finally, Hughes spoke.
"He's right," he said.
"But what about the picture?" howled an aide.
"The devil with the picture," said Hughes. "Finish it when he gets back, start it over again, or throw it in the ashcan. A man's self-respect is more important than any picture."
Mitchum has been holding his head higher than ever since then, and he's the only man in the studio who can say "no" to Hughes and get away with it.
There is a great deal of humility in Robert Mitchum, and he can ladle it out when the occasion calls for it. In the matter of marriage and his family he has done so, publicly and whenever the situation demanded it. To his wife, Dorothy, and his children, he is a good husband and father. But he runs the joint, there is no question about that. He's the head man, the guy who makes the decisions.
And, like Dagwood Bumstead, he often comes a cropper administering his household. Once, when he was having lunch in the house, he heard his boy, Josh, howl in fright from the middle of the swimming pool. Bob made the 200 yards to the vicinity of the pool in record time, but he started his dive a little too far away and instead of cutting the water like a knife, he landed on the flagstone rim of the pool, knocked out cold. He came to with the family standing over him, as Josh yelled, "Hey Mom, why did Daddy do that?"
Although there is a high fence around the Mitchum home in Mandeville Canyon, there is always an assortment of neighborhood kids sporting in the pool. Where they come from, Bob and Dorothy don't know or care, but they keep an eye on them like a couple of paid life guards.
An afternoon spent in the Mitchum backyard would convince you that the household revolves around kids. It's a club for them. The front yard of the Mitchum house generally has half-a-dozen wheeled conveyances, ranging from very tiny tricycles to full-scale bikes, parked in a neat row in the center of the driveway. And whenever a crisis develops in the routine of play or plotted destruction, the lads, strangers and kin, go into the house to discuss it with the old man.
Josh popped in with a mob recently with the request that they be permitted to pitch a tent on the front lawn. He was told that he could erect it on the vacant lot next door. He was back in a minute with the information that the ground was too hard to take the pegs.
"Wet it," said Scoutmaster Mitchum. Josh's next trip indoors was more effective. He looked like a channel swimmer, only he wore mud instead of grease.
"It's too slippery," he said. "How about the front lawn?"
"You and that gang sink as much as a toothpick in that lawn," roared his dad, "and if the gardener doesn't kill you all, I will!" The boss roustabout had spoken, and the project was abandoned.
That's the homey, humorous side of Bob Mitchum. Let's get back to the driving, violpnt. side of the man.
