Hollywood-When you mention
The rAme Of John Carroll In Holly
wood, people say "Oh. yeah-thc
crazy actor. Did you hear about the
time"
Carroll is the sort of guy about
whom anecdotes and apocryphal
legends seem TO cluster.
BY "crazy', Hollywood doesn't
mean "demented,' exactly. Just
nom conventional. Carroll main
tains t~the-hell, hang onto-
your-hats-boys attitude, together
with the aura Of an adventurous
past.
He said: "Some of the screwiest
stories are the truest. Like me
being a gun-runner into Mexico.
I was one, all right, but I was
only ~ years old. was selling
papers In Laredo, making at the
most q buck a day, and man
offered me so cents a day to
carry a package across the border
and stick 1t In tree. I did 1t for
q while, until a Ranger stopped
me and told me was running
guns"

TREASURE IN TOURISTS
NOT BURIED IN SAND

And then there's the treasure
hunting episode, another occupa-
ton that qualities John Carroll as
q glamorous soldier of fortune.
That was down In Florida. The
state is full Of yarns about buried
doubloons and pieces-of -eight. and
the sandy beaches offer easy II
tinproductive digging. Carroll, who
Is an opportunist, was one of q
group who made quite good thing
out Of II without finding any trea-
sure.
I'VE got some old parchment
maps, and we'd charge vacationers
O lot Of dough to accompany u.s." he
said. 1.-THE more you charged down
there, the more business you got"
OF course, Mr.. Carroll has the
needed appearance and physique:
he's about feet 3 inches tall IN
shoes, has black wavy hair, an
engaging grin, and Is undeniably
handsome In the manner Of a
young Gable.
