"We lived on the sea coast and reveled in fresh fish at home. If I could yearn for any food, and I am not a very good yearner — it would be for a 'mess of clams' ! Lobster Newburg, cooked with sherry, of course, is my favorite sea food, on sober second thought. But I don't serve it, because you haven't lobsters here in California like ours in New England."

Strong, but Not Silent Continued from page 70 change the whole course of one's life — being on the right street, at the right moment, when the right person comes by. That sort of thing has happened to me a number of times. When a fortunate opportunity comes my way I make the most of it. If I don't get the breaks I charge it to Fate and try not to worry. "When I was a child living in New York, where I was born, William A. Brady and his family moved into a house across the street. I became friends with them, particularly Brady's son, and through their influence and example became interested in the theatre. Later young Brady and I went job hunting together. My first stage appearance was with Mrs. Brady — Grace George — in 'Ruined Lady.' One thing led to another and Fate finally brought me to Hollywood where I am very glad to be." This modest summary of the Bogart saga leaves a number of yawning gaps. A little cross-questioning served to fill in some of them. At fifteen, for instance, he rashly joined the navy. Not being of an adventurous turn — brown-eyed people seldom are — he gave that up at the end of his enlistment, and returned to civil life. ("Some day I mean to travel so that I can see something besides foreign ports," he remarked.) With the United States Navy off his hands he decided to see what the business world had to offer. A job on Wall Street cured his juvenile dreams of becoming a financier. It was then that he definitely decided that the Thespian's life was the only life for him. During the next few years he accepted every theatrical job that Fate sent his way, taking the rough with the smooth and worrying little: assistant stage manager work, juveniles, character parts, bits, off-stage voices, romantic leads — and tough guys. He appeared in a long list of plays, some lasting a few weeks, some only a few . days, and one which folded after a single performance. In the words of Lorelei Lee, "Fate kept on happening," and Humphrey kept on working. Successful plays, such as "Cradle SnatcherS," "Saturday's Children," "Most Immoral Lady" and "It's a Wise Child" were his eventual reward. At last "The Petrified Forest" loomed on the theatrical horizon and Bogart was chosen to portray a four-dimensional outlaw. After its highly successful stage engagement the play was brought to the screen, and its star, Leslie Howard, insisted that Bogart be given his original role. Humphrey dates his real screen career from that momentous day. but he did, as a matter of record, make a number of pictures previously in New York. "Have you ever suffered from stage or microphone fright?" I asked. "The actor who never sutlers from stage fright is no actor," said he, definitely. "I know a few who insist that they never do, but I don't believe them. One man in particular brags that he has never known stage fright, but he's not my idea of an actor. "The worst case of stage fright I ever experienced was in a play called 'Swifty.' My nervousness got to a place where I couldn't talk. My mouth was as dry as if I had been footing it across the Sahara. Since I was completely bogged down I couldn't think of anything to do except walk off the stage and get a drink of water. I did just that, leaving the other players to mark time until I got back. "There is always a tense moment just before going on the stage. On first nights a freezing sensation settles down over the solar plexus. There is always the fear of forgetting one's lines, or that some other player will forget his, or that a needed prop will not be in place. It is rather awkward to reach for a gun. or letter, or something of the sort, and find that it is not there. "In radio work I get nervous because there is no way of feeling audience reaction. I have never had trouble with microphone fright in pictures, although I am sometimes embarrassed when they set the camera on my nose and then start looking me over from all angles to see if my face will stand such close inspection." Speaking of faces, Humphrey's does very well. His eyes are very fine, with brows set at a nice angle, and the rest of his features are assembled with a view to rugged but pleasing architecture. There is an earthy quality about him that is extremely agreeable, and his mental outlook is broad, alert, and penetrating. Anything of a political or mathematical nature appeals to him. During his school years he excelled in algebra and geometry. National affairs engage his attention and he is intelligently concerned with the problems of good government. Although he goes in for considerable outdoor activity besides his daily toil in the interests of art — swimming, golfing, and sailing being his favorite sports — he eats with surprising lightness.
