They are the character roles in which he can eX- press himself and reflect life as he Las seen it-roles that demand the very best that is in him to interpret These are the mellow years of an actors life. when he has found both in life and in his art a richer, fuller meaning. The matinee idol he is no longer. but iionored and respected simply as an actor. which means d hundred times more, As character actor he is able to put more color more variety and more genuine emo ton into his acting The matinee idol mas not been lost. he has only become absorbed in the araist
