Hollywood. 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."
