 This was the parting remark, spoken quietly and with no out. ward intimation of his rating ir the movie world, by Robert Taylor Burlington s. Brugh, to you) shortly before the Princess Louise sailed south from Juneau this morning Taylor and Don Miloe, his com panion and wellknown scenario writer, are making the round trip aboard the Canadian Pacific steamer.
 Taylor, is just a fine man, polite most affable, of quiet demeanor, a man with whom it is easy to con- verse and who displays none of the up Stage demonstrations so ap- parent in many movie stars. With a ready smile he greets all and dis plays absolute boise in any incl dent.
 He waited 10 minutes for The En- pire reported aboard the Princess Louise last Saturday night and smilingly remarked: "Ha, ha, you had date" and throwing his hat on the floor, said, That beats everything" But there he was. sit- ting quietly in chair in the social hall of the steamer, displaying no annoyance at the delay in being interviewed.
 The Empire interviewer, after the little formalities were over and Fay Tor said: Now, just what do you want me to say" noticing the tenn porary exasperated and Mustered situation of the reporter at not being able to find the inevitable pencil.
 Very quietly and with a show of amusement, Taylor reached his hand to his vest pocket and with drew his pencil saying: Here you are, let's go on now, fire away" And by the way, the reporter for got to return the pencil and per- haps, Taylor thinks-"oh, well just another souvenir hunter" But the pencil is to be mailed to him with an expression of regret at the in- cident.
 Well, MT. Taylor, how did you happen to make the trip to Alaskan" asked the reporter.
 Alaska or Mexico

"So," said Taylor, that left me month without a thing to do, and I decided to go for trip, as I always decide to do. It was a toss up between Mexico and Alaska, and Alaska was finally chosen"
 And how do you like our coun- try?" inquired the reporter.
 T think it's grand" replied Tay- Tor. Your scenery is wonderful, and all the people have treated me just keen"
 T wanted to take some pictures of the glacier, but it was little too dark" he remarked, "that is why I asked you to postpone the inter- view until 9:30, so I would be able to see everything while it was still light out"
 What is your next picture to be- asked the reporter?
 T go on location as soon as I re- turn to California" said filmland' s favorite star, fin picture with Wallace Beery, called Stand Up and Fight" and remarked, that's kind of silly name for picture,  isn't it?"
 Bringing the conversation back to Alaska, as my knowledge of movie productions is strictly nil, your re- porter fired away with, How have you enjoyed your journey. so far?"
 He's Enjoying His Trip
 Taylor immediately answered, I've enjoyed this trip more than any I have ever taken. Ordinarily in crowd, such as greeted me this Saturday. evening. I would have emerged torn to shreds, but the way people politely stepped aside and let me pass, we'll it was a real revelation"
