way to look is another profitable one,
but we have to get along with the
story.
AS any one who has read these
bravely unprejudiced columns knows,
We have not always been wholeheart-
edly enthusiastic about Robert Taylor.
The ingredients of that lack of en-
thusiasm were numerous. They in
cluded a feeling that Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer had worked too hard and too
successfully to make Mr.. Taylor a
gigantic heart-throb: a sense that his
fans were too mad about the boy. and
that he was too willing to let himself
be made into the image and likeness
Of Adonis Maybe, just maybe, another
element was the difference in his face
and the one we shave every morning.
The difference between face that is d
mans fortune and one that is mis-
fortune is very considerable thing.
Our latest meeting with Mr.. Taylor
hereinafter To be referred to as Bob
because newsprint is so expensive these
days, was the third. Our immediate
reaction was that he had changed, or
We had been crazy in our original eSti-
mate. 1t may have been because he
was wearing bathrobe and pair
of sloppy slippers while we looked like
Q colorplate from Esquire. Or it may
have been because he was so darned
affable. Whatever it was. he was the
person of whom SO many we have met
out here always said: you've got the
boy wrong"
Hi" said Bob amiably. "how's
everything in Washington"
Swell We said with brilliant orig
inality. And how are you?"
From that opening. one works
around to the fact that Bob is very
happy with the world these days. His
present picture, another in the series
designed to get him out of evening
and night clothes into dungarees and
track pants, calls for him to be a
prize fighter He is taking it very
seriously. more seriously than many
