too much for him. A pack of lion

Mitchum's almost childish dislike
for any kind of money transaction
is an odd complement to his more
evident d-bitten characteristics.
He says he can't sell anything. He
gives away clothes, and cars, when
he gets new ones. His wife handles
the purse strings: Mitchum keeps a

There's No Happier Couple in Hollywood
Joel McCrea and Frances Dee Enjoy Life Their RANCH
Making Movies When the Mood Strikes Them

Joel is tops in the cat-nap divi-
sion. He had no dressing room on
location-Wouldn't use it If he did
have one. He grabs few winks as
time permits. A pile Of blankets on
the ground, a few bales Of hay,
empty truck-they'r all Joel needs.
Once they snapped him sound asleep
lying in a plowed-up oat f1eld-his
face shaded by the horse he was
riding in the next scene!
Both Joel and Frances were born
in California-althoug Miss Dee's
family went to live in Chicago in
her childhood. Joel grew up in the
heart of Hollywood when it was
mostly orange groves. AS an Adde'S
cent he delivered newspapers to big
shots like Cecil B. de Mile and Sam
Wood, and later he beaued their
daughters around town.

But the proximity to greatness
didn't help him crash into pictures

years. In The Torrent" about 1926,
he doubled for Greta Carlo in some
tough riding scenes! Once he made

she was still Jane Peters, and they
both were turned down.

Main reason why the motion pic
ture industry stumbles along in q
perpetuaIy excited and emotional
state of mind is its utter lack OF a
concrete set Of values.
Nobody knows for sure what
makes the public flock to one pic
ture in droves and stay away from
another. Or why one personality
draws record-breaking gates where
another f1ops Or why title should
make so much difference in the total
gross of a film.
There always are after-th e-fact
explanations, but any one with the
vision to predict accurately what
combination of story, star and title
would be surefire, could write his
own ticket in the industry.
Complexities of the entire situa-
ton most easily can be assessed by
considering one phase Of the three
way gamble-the title dilemma
Producers always are jockeying
titles, hoping to find one that will
catch the public fancy. Sometimes
they're designed to conceal the ma
ture of the story, sometimes to re-
veal it,

Rough and tough Robert Mitchum
is an actor, he says, because he
can't think OF any other way to
make as much money.
The competitions too stiff in the
commercial world" he says. That's
why I'm in pictures"
Shaggy, unshaven, colloquial in
speech, CARRIED as cowboy, soldier or
backwoodsman-such Is Mitchum in
the movies. II don't think I'll ever
make a picture without long hair
and beard"
Mitchum did have a role, on loan
out not long ago, with lines in Eng

the picture c'Desire Me- three
times, and it was still a flop. A
producer at the studio urged Bob
to get out but he refused.

studio s4,000,000.
Actually, Mitchum's self-confi-
dence, and his English, are perfect.
He gives the impression of yearning
to appear rugged and brainy at the
same time. His pictures prove he
is rugged. Maybe he's brainy. He's
a kidder, and good mimic.

Which faction was closer to being
right? It's little early for a de-
cision; but meantime, In some OF
the pictures runs, there has been
tendency on the part of the
ticket buyers to puzzle their brows
over the title and to do too much
wondering as to what it's about.
On the other hand, the statesmen
point out, you couldn't conceive of
anything much more innocuous

many bitter experiences Hollywood
has concluded that movies about
