The tall, dark, handsome Mature
was born in Louisville, KY. His
father was in the commercial re-
frigeration business, but that was
too cold for little Victor and he
came to Hollywood to break into
pictures via the Pasadena Playhouse
route. Hal Roach saw him there
and cast him in The Housekeeper's
Daughter as Lefty, the gangster in
love with said daughter, played by
Joan Bennett. His next picture,
One Million B. c." showed the Ma
ture torso to an admiring tfemale)
world. He was Tumak, the Cave
Man. But it was not until the
spring of l94l that Victor found his
true place in the spotlight, as the
gorgeous he-man on the New York
stage in Gertrude LaWrence's Lady
in the Dark"

Victor Mature Returns More Mature

"These men had only just arrived

grumble much. We put in at Oki-

Victor Mature is back in pictures
after three years and nine months
in the Coast Guard And you just
wouldn't know him for the boy who
went off to war in 1912. Mind you,
I've always liked him, but he used
to be on the loud. rather boastful
side and too much of dashing Don
Juan to be taken seriously by serl-
ous-minded girls.
Victor was wearing new civilian
suit when he called to see me. And
the boy is better looking than ever.
He's thinned down and looks a bit
more fragile than in the old days,
but he explained this by mention
ing a celebration binge he had been
on the evening before. (There S
