HOLLYWOOD CD- "I don't think
you can beat the life out here
most of the time, said Lauren Ba:
call, sitting down to a tray on the
, dining room table and looking at a
bacon and tomato sandwich with
out enthusiasm. '
. "When both Bogey and I are
working; it's great. It's fine when
he's working and I'm not. It gets
-a little grim, though when I'm
working and Bogey isn'L He gets
restless, . hanging around..."
j Times,; however, when Hum-
phrey Bogart isn't working have
become increasingly rare in recent
years. His friend, Cary Grant, re
cently complained with mock bit
terness that Bogart "keeps all of
us older fellows out of work.
"He gets hold of all the good
stuff first," Grant said wryly. "He!
keeps saying 'I can play this,'
I'd be right for that.' The worst
of it is that he can and would be.
He's an old pro." !
Success, professional and private
was late - in arriving". Bogey was
35 and had been an actor for IS
years before he caught popular
fancy as killer Duke Mantee in
The Petrified Forest" on Broad-
- way. ;
la Merle Version .
He hadn't made much of a dent
in Hollywood until he played Duke
in the movie version later on.
- f - He was 45 (maybe 46 there's a
little confusion about his birth
year) when he married his fourth
and, from .the looks, of things, final
wife. Miss Bacall,! rather pointedly
called Betty, never Baby.
He was close to SO, when his
first child, Stephen, was born. He
. was 52 when he won his first Aca
demy Award Oscar, for his liquor
loving vagabond in "African
r Queen.
Today Bogey, around 55 and Bet
ty; 29, are among Hollywood's first
film families, with two handsome
children, a beautiful home, and
. as free lance stars a bountiful
selection of roles among which to
pick and choose. -

and the siren, throaty voiced "Ba

Bogart, lest this homey .scene
appears too saccharine, conscien
tiously cultivates his reputation for
Jour letter Anglo Saxon words and
brutal frankness in the course of

. Hollywood has good reason to be
proud of the Bogarts.' They are

defenders as well as occasional
critics. They preserve considerable
Independence of thought and fre-

Easy Elegance -
- And their private lives are con
ducted with a certain easy ele-
J gance and casual good manners
' particularly notable in a land of
the nouveau riche and stiff formal
homes that scream the name of
their expensive decorators.
Betty and Bogey are what might
be called writers' stars, productive
of good copy, expressing fresh
viewpoints and available for opin
ions on controversial subjects.
Bogey, as a matter of fact, loves
to be controversial. . For example,
he, practically alone among the
post-50 actors, confesses to fighting
the battle of the receding hair line
with a "rug." and refuses to wear
either hat or cap when sans toupee,
Such action requires vanity be
low and courage above that of the
average star.
The Bogart residence a beauti
ful house of white washed brick
with fine, old landscaping, is on a
popular street close to Judge Gar
land, Lana Turner and a double
handful of other illustrious neigh
bors ; i
The two principal "' downstairs
rooms are a white marble solari
um with a glass facade which
opens onto the terrace, and a huge
pine paneled study with a big work
ing fireplace, bookshelves filled to
the ceiling with well worn books
an equally well worn bar, plenty
of comfortable chairs and a big
divan.

Their two children and three box
ers have the run of the house! The
boxers. Harvey, Baby and their
son, George, are extremeley friend
ly and moistly affectionate.
The children and dogs romped
around with equal enthusiasm.
Steve, f who has blond hair, fair
skin and looks like an angel, is a
holy terror. After he tired of pull
ing oranges and lemons off - the
trees and firing them in the gen
eral direction of the pool, he pre
pared himself for instant flight and
shouted:
"Georgie, he has lost his hat,
Harvey is a dirty rat."
Echoes Brother "
Betty tried to ignore him on the
theory that if no one paid any
attention he'd stop. But Leslie. 2,
a dainty miss who was named
after Leslie Howard, has reached
the stage where she echoes her
brother. .
She loyally took up the chant
Disciplinary measures were start
ed, but Steve got away.
We returned to the study.
"If you're living in Hollywood,
said Betty, catching her breath
and lighting a cigarette, "you've
got to live in a house. You don't
have to have a swimming pool,
but if you can afford one, get it.
Once you've made the initial in
vestment, it only costs $30 a month
to keep it clean."
Should Make Money
"Why the hell shouldn't actors
make a lot of money?" growled
Bogart suddenly. "I don't know
why we should be defensive about
it. We work hard, we ve acquired
a lot of skills, we put up with a
lot. I think we not only deserve
what we make but a lot more. And
I don't feel like apologizing for
making it. '
Betty interrupted: "He can take
Hollywood five days a week. Then
he gets on his boat for two days.'
"You go to the same parties,
see the same people, say the same
things, hear the same stories," Bo
gart said. "Then it's good to get
away with guys who don't know
anything about pictures, who don't
even go to see them.
"I wish," mused Betty, "that
these guys who are critics would
spend some time watching the
making of a picture, could realize
all the effort and thought and guts
that go into making every one.'
"Maybe they wouldn't be so
quick to condemn. When I'm work
ing I'm upat 6, and I'm ready, in
makeup, to start shooting at 9.
Miatf Preoeeapie
"Then you've lines to learn.
When you're workingryour part
on your mind all the time
sometimes for two months. Even
when I'm playing with the children
m thinkng, in the back of my
head, about it."
Through , their 10 years of mar
riage,' she said, she and Bogart
have never sat down together and
discussed their parts.
We don t read Jines for each
other, either," she said. "But when
we're both working, we're, both full
of our pictures and there s always
plenty to talk about.
It s all right when he s working
because I can always find plenty
of things to do around the house,
with the children and stuff. I'm
unhappy just sitting around doing
nothing. I'm not accustomed to it.
First I was a model, then I
was on the stage. The longest time
I stayed around was before and
after Leslie was born and then I
went to Africa for three months
with Bogey.
Dislikes Sitting
"That s what gets me sitting
around doing nothing during the
waiting time between shots.
There's nothing much you can do
except knit and I don t like to
knit You talk to people, and kid.
It s really very boring.
But, she added quickly, you ex
pect that as part of your job.
When Bogey is between pic
tures and I'm working, he is likely
to get bored hanging around the
house by himself, reading. Then
he usually has lunch at Roman
offs and spends more time on the
boat
I used to go with him. but I've
stopped since Steve was born.
really don't like it just sailing,
not even fishing. I like Palm
Springs."
Bogart who hung around from
December, when he finished one
picture, waiting to start "The Left
Hand of God" this spring, was
wandering around the house.
"See?" said Betty, gesturing to
ward her husband. "He's no man-about-tbe-house.
He doesn't know
anything about laying bricks. He
doesn't like to cook on an outdoor
barbecue. . He just likes to play
tennis, go out on the boat read
and plar chess."
"Why the hell should I cook?"
said Bogart, floating back into the
room to freshen his glass. "Why
the hell should we have to do any
thing as long as we are good in our
jobs, which is acting?
"You don't" said Betty. "Good
pictures are the only things that
really matter.
