It is dishonest only to run and pretend you didn't or even that you are better than your fellow man and shouldn't have; morally dishonest, even moral cowardice. Such a man could also pretend that he is in the church because he loves it, when actually he trembles before it. Such a man comes to God as a hypocrite. "Not all men bend before life, I know. But for every exceptional youth who has the qualities of true heroism, and, I might add, the stoicism to suffer prolonged martyrdom, you get ten thousand youngsters who become frightened, twisted, little souls trying to live up to impossible standards. In time to come we may all be noble. The lesson of today is that we are not, and most of us must come before our Maker at least honestly as human beings who have sinned, as what we are. Somehow, in admitting our weaknesses, there is a saving grace; enough, I hope, to count." According to Stewart he spent much of his early twenties being a foolish pretender about himself. He worried so deeply about a fancied cowardice that he would deliberately pick fights when there was absolutely no provocation. He would challenge a man in a pub because he fancied the man was looking at him insolently. Before he made the challenge he would be shaking inside with fear of what would happen. But he had to do it. "It was a horrible thing," Stewart recalls. TJe used to know Freddie Mills, former light heavyweight champion of England, and would spar with him at exhibitions. They would go to events like picnics staged for the benefit of the English Ford company, and put on a bout before thousands of their workers. Stewart thought that out of such deeds he would rise in his own estimation and be able to live with himself without being besieged by all sorts of doubts. But it didn't work. "Nothing worked for me but the truth — the truth about who I am and what I am. And — I'm just another chap. No more — no less," he says. "I remember that when I wanted to be an actor I held back from trying until after I was twenty because I thought acting was effete work for a man. I was hardly being honest with myself. What I was afraid of was being accused of being effete. That-', quite another story. "When I could admit this to myself ) went on the stage. There were times when the very accusations I had feared were made I coped with them the best way I could. I don't think a man is to be blamed for ducking a blow, but I do think he is wrong to hang back from some desired step because it might bring on a blow. The first is an act of self-preservation, the second is debasing one's self." Out of this interview with Stewart Granger, dealing with matters that he would rather not have discussed (but from which it was against his principles to run ) , it became apparent that he does not consider it an easy matter to solve one's spiritual problems. In his honesty he gives the impression that he, for one, has not yet found the formula; the teaching of the Scriptures, multiplied by the number of times he has had to violate them to live in a practical world, has probably not yet equaled X for him — X, of course, being the possession of a pure faith. "Man is to his God what he is to himself," is about the most direct conclusion Stewart ventured to make. "You might say I am working on myself." END (Stewart Granger can now be seen in MGM's All The Brothers Were Valiant.) the lies they tell about bob wagner (Continued from page 37) went steady or anything like that. After we had gone out for a few months, I felt it was unfair to Debbie to be monopolizing so much of her time. One night when I was driving her home, we talked about it. We both decided it would be better if we didn't see so much of each other. It was all very friendly." But others decided that a big thing should be made of it. One magazine editor called him breathlessly and demanded to know the reasons for the breakup of their engagement. "You were the ones who made this appear to be a big romance," Bob replied emphatically. "You were the ones who had us engaged. Now you can dream up the reasons why we are breaking up." A nother thing that makes Bob sore is the implication that his short-lived "engagement" to Terry Moore was a publicity stunt. When the two were locationing with 12-Mile Reef, the news broke from Florida that they would be married shortly. The report was quickly denied, and the scoffers then said it was all a grandstand play for newspaper space. The truth is that Bob was no party to the fiasco and was genuinely upset by it. He immediately called the studio publicity chief to see what could be done about stopping the story and determining the source. No one at the studio has yet determined how the story got into print. "I have to be more careful than some other actors. I have been fortunate in having a following of young kids. Although that has been great for my career, it also presents certain responsibilities. I can't do anything disillusioning." Bob has a point there. The bobbysox following is not to be trifled with in matters of personal lives. Van Johnson discovered that. He was absolutely tops with the malt shop crowd until he ran off to marry his best friend's wife. His fans didn't think that was cricket, and his popularity took a nosedive. The Bob Wagner-Barbara Stanwyck "affair" was an item that kept the gossip columnists busy for a spell. It was blown up m such a manner that it proved very embarrassing to both Bob and Barbara. "There's another case of jumping to conclusions,'' Bob explained. "It happened this way: when we were making Titanic. Barbara. Clifton Webb, Thelma Ritter and I would always have lunch together. "On Halloween, we decided to have our own tricks or treats. We were all going to Romanoff's for dinner and have a lot of fun. Thelma couldn't join us, so there were just Clifton, Barbara and I." A columnist happened by their table that night and Clifton remarked, "I'd like you to meet our illegitimate son, Robert." It was all very jolly. But the next day, the columnist wrote that Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Wagner were doing the night spots together. Then other columnists played with the combination, and the magazines took the items and blew the whole thing up into a big romance. The term has been misused in the Hollywood parlance, but Bob and Barbara have been and intend to remain merely good friends. Bob's friendship with Dan Dailey has been another target for the self-appointed critics. These busybodies have promoted the notion that Dan is a bad influence on
