Hollywood (1937)

"I'll Never Retire" [Continued from page 28] boy turned loose in a most sophisticated environment and not liking it at all. "You know," he said, "it's the hardest thing to explain, all this fuss. People are so darned kind to you, everywhere you go. And it isn't that I don't appreciate it. I'd probably be awfully sore if they weren't. But sometimes a guy feels like he just has to cut loose and do at least some of the things he wants to do in the way he wants to do them. Half the time you can't be yourself for fear of hurting someone's feelings." AT THIS moment, the assistant director called Bob away to the set. Things hadn't been going so well that day. One of the actors had been having difficulty in getting his lines right. So far, they'd tried at least ten times to get one scene. He came back presently and flopped down in an easy chair. "Tell me," we asked, "Do you act mostly because you want to act, or for what you'll be able to get out of it materially?" He grinned. "So that's what you've been getting at — a barb in every interview! Okay — here's your answer! "Both! I like acting better than any other profession. But like everything else, you have to take the bad with the good. In my case, the bad part of it is all this celebrity business — having to be an actor twenty-four hours a day. In most other jobs, you put in your eight hours a day and then quit being a bookkeeper and start being yourself. In Hollywood, you can't do that. "So my plan is that when I've run out of parts that I can play — I'm not good enough to be a character man, you know — I'll retire to that blessed anonymity, raise my live-stock on whatever I've been able to save out of the material proceeds of the game and then start traveling about on the balance. "And then will I have the fun! I'll be one of the guys that does the staring. I'll be able to rubber all I want to. I'll take snap-shots of my fellow man, the leaning tower of Pisa and the surfboarders at Waikiki." He fished in his pocket for a bit of paper. "Please, Ma'am — c'n I have your autograph?" And right then and there we got the idea that the interview was over! Among the screen celebrities who attended the Fawcett Movieland Tours supper dance at the Wilshire Bowl were Craig Reynolds and Gertrude Niesen.
