52nd Year
Manufacturer of Ladies' Slacks Also
Dabbles in Hollywood Picture Acting
By DOC QUIGG j manufacturing firm as vice
United Preu Correspondent president in charge of its sub
New York W Robert J. sidiary which makes slacks,
Evans gets to work at 8 a.m. in
n offcc 33 floors above his
nativ Jv;ew York and doesn't
leave ?il 7 p.m. He eats lunch
in the i,ice, while barking or
ders into a squawk box on his
fancy semicircular desk.
He's in love with his business.
He's in ladies' slacks, and the
women's slack business is any
thing but slack.
"I started seven years ago
with one pair of slacks," he said.
"Now the business is several
million a year. Dollars, he
means. We claim to be the larg
est better-slack firm in Amer
ica "
Whither slacks? "Becoming
more tapered but not skin
tight," Evans says. "Just a sleek,
tapered type so all women can
wear them."
Emphasis on Casual Wear
The big impetus for slacks, he
says, has been the movement
toward suburban living, with
emphasis on casual attire.
Evans, at 27, is in a skirts
shorts, and active sportswear. A
pertinent question right now is
wither Evans.
"Every buyer who comes in
wants to know the whole story,"
he says. "They ask me: 'You
gonna stay in business-' I can't
answer. Right now, if I had to
make a choice between movies
and skirts, I'd choose skirts. I
feel more secure here, where I
can make decisions, have con
trol over myself."
During the last half year, Ev
ans has been leading a divided
life. Part slacks, part movie ac
tor. Hollywood drafted him en
tirely by accident, he says. There

he was, last November, at the
pool of the Beverly Hills Hotel,
barking business about slacks
into a poolside telephone. Norma
Shearer watched him project
and decided he closely resem
bled her late husband, Irving
Thalberg, who was a movie ex
ecutive at age 21.
Takes Screen Test
"I told her I had little interest
in being a movie actor, that I
was in business in New York,"
he says. "But she persuaded me
to come for a screen test, and I
think the movie bosses there sort
of resented it a dress man com
ing to play in a picture"'
Evans as a youngster had been
in radio plays. He tested out fine
and played Thalberg in the Lon
Chaney life story," The Man
With A Thousand Faces." Not
long afterward Darryl Zanuck
saw him in a New York night
club and picked him for a star
ring role as a matador in "Death
in the Afternoon."
Both pictures will open in
New York next month. Evans
doesn't know what the garment
industry will think of him then.
WHERE'S THE FIRE?
Famed symphony conductor
Arthur Fiedler looks like a
movie version of a fire chief
as he dons this gift helmet
on his arrival in San Fran
cisco to conduct his summer
series of "Pops Concerts."
Maestro Fiedler belongs to
the millions of Americans
who are avid three-alarm
fire chasers.
