BY PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
Hollywood, Sept. 9-Robert Tay-
lor Is only Is and has had brief,
If busy, Aim career. Yet decorative,
tinseled legends already are being
erected about him.
To hear the stories, you'd gather
that he was sternly reared IN near
poverty and that his whole life thus
far has been a saga Of logged de-
termination and lofty purpose.
You may hear that he studied
medicine, and Is a psychiatrist
whose understanding Of the human
mind lends some mysterious power
to his acting.
Many persons believe that he
plays Bach and Brahms on the pi-
ano, and in his spare moments
curls up with Epictetus In the orig
inal Greek.
Incidentally, some flctioneering
already Is being done about his
age, which is announced as "a in
stead OF IS. Taylor himself has no
part In any such petty receptions.
He talks frankly and without re-
serve about anything but his per-
,sonal romances.
His parents weren't poor. Span
gler and Ruth Stanhope Brugh
lived comfortably In Filley, Nebo
thanks to a thriving grain business.
When the wife developed an appar-
ent chronic illness, her young hus-
band determined to study medicine
so that he could better care for
her.
Father Was Generous
Their child, now Robert Taylor,
Aim matinee idol, was named
Spangler Arlington Brugh - the
Arlington" part being a whim OF
his mothers, borrowed from a ro-
mantle novel.
BY the time the boy was 5, Brugh
ST., had won his doctors degree.
The family lived In Fremont,
Neb, then in Beatrice, Neb. The
father had a prosperous practice,
and his medical skill Is attested by
the fact that his wife has survived
him. He died in 1888.

Congrats in order. :. Probably just fine
work is being done in the other parks of city, but
just for tonight let's pin bouquet the park heads
and the lowly wOrkmen who have been doing such
fine job up at Fulton Park the last few months.
The old greenhouse that stood by the side Of the road
is more, but the spot has been handsomely land
scaped. SO has the woodland just north and we
notice that the shrubbery along the Cooke street wall
from Pine street to Pennington avenue is receiving
muchneeded pruning. People notice all these
things. Now II the police would only do as good
Job the park employees in routing the undesrables
from secluded park particularly those between
the bowling green and the hockey pond all would be
well If you wanted to give sermon on morals,
here's the spot to gain inspiration.
