Largest fire left burning was a 10,000-acre blaze in Los Old Actors Not Like Old Soldiers; They Fade Away Br VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent . Hollywood - m - Unlike old soldiers, old matinee idols do fade away. They drop gradually from sight One recent example is George Brent. Veteran of more than 100 pictures, Brent's patent leath er hair, smooth manners and easy screen familiarity with the boudoir classed him as one of the movies' great lovers. - He never reached the heights of, say, Charles Boyer, but he did atari feminine Hearts pounding the moment his suave voice caressed the leading lady. : Then with the onslaught of the mumbling, spoiled little boy heroes - Jimmy Dean, Marlon Brando, Paul New man - Brent, along with Rob ert Taylor, Tyrone Power and other slick, sophisticated lead ing men, became obsolete. They belong to an extinct group - the poised, self-assured manly types who had no "psychological" problems nor penetrating opinions on Zen Buddhism. : Unfortunately, many an ex screen lover boy has nothing to fall back on. And there isn't much call for handsome, unemployed actors. ; Brent is an exception. ' Some 20 years ago - at the height of his popularity - George established a breeding rancn lor tnoroughbred race horses. Now it is paying off, both financially and as a life time career. Back in Hollywood for the first time in a year, the still handsome Brent will star to night in NBC-TV's "Chevy Mystery Show." "I rarely come up here," Brent said, "and I didn't even have an agent when this job came along. I'm content to stay down at Rancho Santa Fe near San Diego on the ranch keeping an eye on my stock.' "I have about IS brood mares down there that have turned out some mighty use ful horses. "I've never produced a top flight stakes winner, but our ranch has come up with a lot of thoroughbreds who have earned $30-50,000 in two years oi racing. And that's pretty good." Asked if he would like to do more acting, Brent shrug ged. - "The last picture I did was In England, five or six years ago," he said. "It was so bad I don't even remember the name of it. "About three years ago I co-starred in the 'Wire Serv ice' TV series. I might like to tackle another series, but I'd prefer a half-hour family comedy show to those hour long dramatic programs."
