HOLLYWOOD.
Robert Preston describes himself
as a bird who has lived SO long in
a gilded cage that he doesn't know
how to fly out by the open door!
II can't make up my mind what
to do," says Robert at lunch. 1--WE
been yelling for my release from
Paramount so long now that when
they gave 1t to me last week I said
to myself, Hey, wait, a minute, why
did they let you go!'"
It was 10 years ago that Preston
was signed at Paramount by Exec
utive Harold Hurley, who had seen
Bob emote at the Pasadena Play
house. "He died not long after" {"
says Bob succinctly.
I'd always thought that Cecil B.
De Mile had discovered Preston
because I remember how c. B. used
to tell every one what a great new
find he had in the boy. But it was
Hurley, or perhaps George Raft, or
the boss of the talent department.
when I first went to Paramount,
they laughed when got up to
test" Bob reminisces. "The head
of the talent department took one
look at me and said, Look, If I
want to see a wrestler, go down.
town to the wrestling Matches"
Bob looks like a "grunt and
groan" boy at that. He has the
huge shoulders and big muscles of a
mat champ. But the talent head
was unpopular, and it was more to
annoy him that Preston was signed
over his about-to-fall head.
Discovered Accidentally.
. "At that time, George Raft was
fighting with Paramount" continues
Preston. I remember that fight.
George was getting something like
81, 400 weekly and he also was turn
ing down script after script because
they didn't give him really good act
ing roles.
80 Raft and Paramount parted.
Lloyd Nolan was stepped up into his
picture roles. Lloyd had up to then
been King of the BIS. So they signed
me to do the Nolan pictures. I made
three fast BIS In a row-the last was
King of Alcatraz.' De Mile, who
was looking at another actor, saw
me in the picture by accident and
signed me for Northwest Mounted
Police"
That was followed by "Union Paci-
fic" and later by Reap The Wild
Wind" But between the latter two,
there was q stop-off for Preston in
the jungle with Dorothy Lamour.
"The way I got to the jungle with
Dotty at Paramount is typical Of
my career there" says Bob. If Gary
Cooper didn't like a script, they'd
hand 1t to Ray Milland. If Milland
didn't like it, they'd hand it to me.
If I didn't like it, that was too bad.
I'd get fired, so did it. Anyway Jon
Hall, who was supposed to do this
jungle picture with Dotty, got sick.

Biography With No Villain
By Ralph Ciehton

Presumed his Army commission In
time to be wounded and to win a
Bronze Star in the drive against
Germany.
After the war" Bill recalls,
Jack Warner and I started talking
about the movie again. He insisted
that I play the role and a long
series of tests proved I did look like
my father"
There were other difficulties,
though.
I'VE had trouble with the script" :"
Bill says. And we're still having
trouble. For instance, father said
he never knew a man he didn't like.
That made it tough for us to find
a villain for the piece. We couldn't
find that he ever had a personal
enemy.
Here's another problem. Although
most people didn't know it, father
was always well off. My grand
father, whom everybody called Uncle
Clem,' owned about all that section
of the old Indian territory which is
now Tulsa, Okla. He had oil wells,
banks and so forth.
Father was obsessed with a boy
hood wanderlust, though, and ran
away with circus. That's an i'm
portant story point, because 1t led
him into vaudeville, where he first
gained national attention. Now the
studio is having heck of time
trying to explain on the screen why
a rich mans son should Yun away
with a circus"
In addition to the technical prob
lens faced by the studio, there are
difficulties imposed by Bill himself
He feels he is under moral obliga-
tion to insist that certain illustrative
incidents in viii Rogers life be in
cluded in the movie.
Il think we ought to bring out his
unsung role as mediator" says Bill.
"and it's almost impossible. He was
familiar with some of the biggest
men of his time, and I personally
know there was many an impend-
ing battle among the mighty which
he averted.
Because of the names involved,
we'll have to leave most of those
stories for posterity."
Aside from the movie, Bills great
est current interest is the plight of
the Indians on the Navajo Reserva-
ton in Arizona and New Mexico.
(Will Rogers, ST., was one-eighth
Cherokee.)
Bills desk is piled high with books
on the Navajo problem. He's writ
ing a series of articles on it, and
in his research discovered that his
father had looked into the Navajo
situation, too.
