May 24 (U.R) Charles Boyer, back in Holly wood after two years, said today the best part about getting out of town is the way you find out there's something else to do besides make movies. This will come as a big shock to plenty of Hollywood ltes who like to think there's no other way to earn a liv ing. But Boyer allows as how it might not be a bad idea for some of the glamour crowd to have a whack at it. "You get a new outlook," he purred in the soft French accent that's been dazzling dolls for years. "There are many things to do besides act in front of the camera." Boyer left town back in 1948 shortly after he finished the ill fated "Arch of Triumph." (He says there's no significance in that, necessarily, because when he took off, nobody had any idea the million-dollar epic was going to lay such an expensive egg.) He went to New York with his wife and small son and he got acquainted with the outside world. He went to plays ... he acted in 'em ... he went to concerts . . . and he even found people who could talk something besides movie gossip. Very Refreshing "My dear," Boyer smiled. "You have no idea how refreshing that was." He also starred in a Broadway hit. "Red Gloves." He did it without any "great lover glam our" and first thing you know, people were beginning to forget that "come-wiz-me-to-ze-casbah" bunk. Now the fascinating French man would like nothing better than to have all his lady fans sigh over somebody else. He's 49 and bald and he admits it. And if he never kissed another glamour girl in his life he probably wouldn't lose much sleep over it. "In my new picture. 'The First Lesion.' I play a priest," he said. "This is the kind of role I am in- MecPHERSON Correspoadant terested in now. Something with some character to it." Would Choose Play And so it looks like Holly wood's lost one of its favorite "great lovers." Worse than that it's almost lost Boyer. Give him his choice between a good play and a good movie, he says, and he'll take the play every time from here on in. "It's more stimulating. You have a chance to work with your part until you can do it the best way you know how. You say the lines over and over, month after month, and eventually you hit your peak. "In films, you say them once or twice. You can only scratch the surface. That's why I prefer the stage."
