HOLLYWOOD. - Only a
millionaire could afford to
"go for broke" in Hollywood.
And I do mean 28-year-old,
brown-eyed and dark Bob
Evans, who recently COM
pleted "Quick Draw at Fort
Smith" at goth Century-Fox.
in which he plays the most
revolving man ever to kill,
via bow and arrow. an old
lady in a wheel chair. This
picture was originally the re-
make of kiss of Death" in
which Richard Widmark
laughed his way to .stardom,
after pushing an old lady to
her death. But Bob is a
muchN bigger heel in the re-
make. Listen to what the
attractive sportswear manu-
facturer has to say about the
man he plays.
Hes off-beat (this is put
ting it real mildly. He'll
have a strange effect on audi
ences. There's nothing too
low for him to do. He kills
seven people in various ways.
The old lady he shoots with
his bow. and arrow while talk
ing pleasantly to her. He
justifies his killings very ra-
tionally to himself. He's got
a cog loose. of course" Of
course.
Film Career at Stake
tits my third movie (the
first. as Irving Thalberg in
Man of a Thousand Faces
followed by the bullf1ghter
role in The Sun Also RisesD.
And unless this picture makes
me a star or at least makes
sure I will be a star, I'll never
make another. / like my
business in New York
started by my brother and
Joseph Picone. And there is
no reason for me to be in
Hollywood unless I'm going
to the top"
To make sure he does, Bob
came to town six weeks be-
fore the picture started,
and every night and every
week end closeted himself
with Director Gordon Doug
las, working on the part.
During the day, / stayed in
my room at the Beverly Hills
Hotel, talking to myself"
Bob recalled. Il felt that, If
/ went out and saw people,
I'd lose this guy. I got very
enthralled with the part.
When it came to the climax
where Hugh OBrian had TO
slap me over and over again.

is the public's conception or
misconception Of the typical
Hollywood producer? The
question didn't exactly ap-
peal to him, but Goldwyn
gave it a whirl anyway.
Il suppose they think the
producer is just a fellow who
sits behind a desk counting
his money. Actually he has
to be a good Snowman, a fine
editor, must be able to ham
die public relations and he
shouldn't try to be a writer
or he's liable to fall in love
with his own ideas"
Does the typical producer
surrounded himself with yes
men?
If you have nothing but
yes men, it's a tragedy. When
they yes me too much, they

for?
mo. I demand a great
deal. I'm exacting with my
writers and directors. But
l have no difficulty getting
along with people who know
their business?"
Can Sam Goldwyn be
argued with?
Yes, and my mind can
be changed. 1 feel sorry for
the man who can't change
his mind"
Which brought US to Gold
wynisms.
Listen" said Sam Gold
wyn, "if I was brilliant
enough to say some of the
good ones attributed to me
I'd be proud of them. But
they weren't mine. Anyway,
it doesn't bother me. After
all, making up Goodwin
isms' gives work to some
people"
Did he ever say, include
me out?"
"On my word Of honor.
I never did. That one
started the whole thing. 1t
was at a meeting of the old
Producers Association. I dis

and I couldn't fight back, I
was so exhausted and
frustrated I actually be-
came historical and couldn't
stop"
After this scene and another
in which O'Brian. trying to
strangle Evans, strained a
cartilage in his throat, he
lost 10 pounds. came down
with virus pneumonia. a
temperature of 106, and was
rushed to the hospital. If
ever Bob was going to re-
turn full time to the dress
business, this was It'll
Discovered Twice
! have been discovered
twice." the personable Bob
continued in his soft, init
mate voice. "On a business
trip here 10 months ago, /
was at the Beverly Hills
Hotel pool when a lady /
recognized as Norma Shearer
came over and asked me,
Are you in pictures? I'm
not an actor, I'm a business
man. / told her. You re-
mind me Of my late husband,
Irving Thalberg, she said.
And / wish you'd do me a
favor and come with me to
Universal Studios to play
Irving in their picture with
James Cagney.'
Il told her I was not in
terested, although I had
started as a child actor and
had to give it UP when a
lung collapsed when I was
II years old. But Miss

Millionaire Actor Bob Evans
Can Afford to Go for Broke

Shearer persisted, Come
with me, just for fun So
we went in the afternoon,
and tested in the evening.
Then U-I wouldn't have me
unless I signed a long-term
contract. But I didn't want
that. They gave in when
Norma reminded them,
Look, he's doing you q
favor" Bob was excellent
as Thalberg.
Signed With Zanuck
Three months later was
at Ell Morocco in New York.
Daryl Zanuck was there. He
asked the head waiter my
name. The next day he called
my office. I signed q five-
year contract with him be-
cause, if I'm going into the
movies. I'll go first class"
Zanuck promptly put the
good-looking young man
into THE Sun Also Rises"
Evans was so good as the
bullfighter that, when
Charles Bracket, a pro-
ducer at 20th-Fox, saw
him on the lot. he asked him
a lot of questions about bulls
and when he was going back
to Mexico. Bob refused
several other pictures and
even some plays during the
10 months he waited for a
role big enough TO make him
a star-in Quick Draw at
Fort Smith," he and the
studio believe.
But no matter what
happens. I'll continue TO
commute from New York"
He has a biggish apartment
in the Sutton Place section
overlooking the East River.
Il want to be near my BUSH
ness and I want to keep on
studying, four evenings q
week with Stella Adler. I
want to be strictly a notion
picture actor. I don't want
to be a television actor.
Fortunately, I can afford to
be choosy. I refused $4,000
in TV roles last month. I'm
allowed to do TV. but ] want
to go for broke in movies. I
want to hit big; ! don't want
any mediocrity."
You're %, rich and hand
some. Why haven't you
married." this palpitatins
female asked. 1--WE never
had the time" he fibbed.
You mean you've never
fallen in love?" said /. Il
suppose you are right"
Evans admitted.

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK (R.-sam
Goldwyn. elder statesman,
took a long look at Holly
woods past, present, and fu-
ture.
I'm two or three years." he
said, Hollywood will be max
ing only so pictures a year
but the good ones will make
more money than ever. Today
1t makes about 800. Years ago
it used to make 600."
What's hurting the indus
try most?
THE shortage of good sto-
ries and. of course, television.
Why should people go out
to see a bad movie when
they can stay home and see
a bad movie on television?"
AS a group, are movie star
personalities any different
today than they were in the
old days?
well, there was Mary
Pickford and Doug Fairbanks.
They had great personalities.
And Bill Hart was better than
any Western star we have
today. But generally there's
no difference. The person.
atty still depends on the tall
ent it has"
They Are All the Same
Are today's stars more trac-
table, less tempermental?
"T emperm ent hasn't
changed much. But they
don't worry me. AS long as I
have Goldwyn, I'll be all
right"
Holding court IN his New
York hotel suite. the 75-year-
old producer radiated friend
illness and confidence. He
wore a gray tweed suit, blue
shirt, blue tie. red slippers
and a continual broad grin
that made Sits of his eyes
and gave him the look of a
pleased cherub.
In a day when most of
Hollywood is filling its SWIM
ming pools with tears, Gold
wyn remains optimistic.
IF I didn't have faith in
the business I wouldn't now
be making 'Porgy and Bess.'
It's the most expensive pic
ture ! ever made. I'll have
to get back $12 million for
myself just to break even. But
the story excites me and I
love the business and it's my
duty to go on working as long
as can"
Which Film Was Best?
What, among his long list
of distinguished hits, does
Goldwyn consider his best?
well. there was The Best
Years of Our Lives 1t was
a great film and swept all the
Oscars. But I also liked
'Wuthering Heights and
Stella Dallas I still run
them of a few times a year
at home, along with other
fine pictures, and I still cry
over them"
What was the worst pic
ture he ever made?
I'm just as proud of my
failures as my successes. I
never make a picture ! don't
believe in. I only make pic
lures I like. Sometimes, how
ever. the public doesn't agree
with me-"
Yes, but what was his
worst failure?
1T was a picture I still
love. But I won't tell you the
name. Some day I may want
to sell it to television."
Why hasn't he sold any
Of his movies to television?
TOO many commercials.
With my pictures, I feel like
they are my children. I don't
want to see them cut up with
commercials"
