explained. strictly a nasty char
acter. In fact, I've been nasty as
a Jap, a Chinese, a Korean. a Hin;
du, and a southern European. And
| always got killed of in the last

This the ladies objected to. Fan
mail started flooding into Univers-
ais Office demanding 20 know why
they finished off the handsomest

So studio bosses took another
look at Bey's black hair, brown
eyes, and six foot frame, and deeid-
ed the ladies' were right. He's been
a leading man ever since.
Before Hitler took over in Europe
the young Turk was the wealthy
son OF a CEechoslovakian glass
manufacturer. He could click his
heels and kiss ladies' hands, but
he didn't have any ambition for Il
career.
Suddenly his mother decided to
sell her factory. A few months af.
ter Hitler marched into the country
and Bey moved his mother and
grandmother to Hollywood.
81 don't know why we picked
Southern California" he said
maybe because we had heard sucr
nice things about the climate. Blu
when he got here we spoke onl'
enough English to order ham ane
eggs at a restaurant"
So Bey went to school to study
English and took dramaicts as part
OF a routine speech course. Eight
months later he won the lead in q
school play and two days after
that he had a movie contract.
Things move so fast In America
he still hasn't caught his breath.
he says, and that all happened four
years ago.
But I'm always behind on
things" he said. Take the funnies.
for instance. | don't have time to
see what Gravel Gertie' Is doing
or what hot water the Brow Is In.
And as a result I'm lost In an adult
conversation"
We told him he was really be.
hind. "Shaky" was thu boy these
days.
