He's putting on his tuxedo coat when the knock comes, and there's Anita Louise, a blonde dream walking in a white lace, billowing gown with a black lace jacket. “Ready uncle?” shé says. “Turn around!” cries old Charley. “Turn around! Why, you're beautiful!” Pirouetting, Anita beams, cries affectionately, “And so are you!” It's a scene from “Old Grad.’ and while it isn't a pretentious picture I've a deal more respect for it than I had before I tackled Grapewin in his dressing room and heard how he feels about pictures. Charley Grapewin is 67. Fifteen years ago, Charley retired to California to play golf. He had a fine house in Los Angeles, he golfed and gardened and practiced his woodworking hobby, he fished and he wrote novels and stories. But he was through working. He had had a long, hard career on the stage, in vaudeville. He had begun as a circus performer, a trapeze artist. And at 52 he was finished, he and his wife, Anna Chance—and he had $2,000,000 put away. “I lost it all in one night,” he says. “Paper profits, sure—-but T was broke again. Had to start over from scratch, and I'm glad of it.” That was nearly nine years ago, when a lot of fortunes were going the same way. Charley Grapewin had $200, a golf club i itdoesn’tmatter.... which side of the bed you get out . . . after a breakfast at Percy's you're‘sure'to be set for-a-big, glorious day ... PERCY’S membership, the sale of which brought in $800, &d his Réme. got to work. The old servants had to go, and the Grapewins took their places in the kitchen. Charley gave up the idea of accumulating another fortune. “I made up my mind to make a fortune, all right—but this kind of fortune. If I could save $1,000 for every year of my age” he said, “I'd be satistied.” He He got a part in a stage play in Los Angeles, followed with &nother, that put him into pictures, where He has been ever since. He also took his thousand in cash, found safe stocks to buy, and made up the “lost years” in his savings scheme. In pictures he has clicked in many big features, including notably “The Good Earth” —and the $67,000 is safely stowed away, with some to spare, “But I'm not out after millions any more, I don't have to work in pictures, and I don't believe in taking every part that comes along just for the check it brings. I've got enough to afford to pick the parts that mean something and give a chance to create a characterization—and that's luxury.” Charjey Grapewin is a keen-eyed, active 67. And he's also something of a gambler. You may have redd how he picked up a two-aere lake front site for his new home in a stud poker game, betting his own Los Angeles home against it—and won. With a straight heart flush over his opponent’s four aces. You may not have heard how he ran up his $1,000 after the crash to several thousand more—and Mrs. Grapewin hadn’t heard it, either, until after it was done. “We've been married 42 years,” Charley chuckles, “and we've been through a lot together. Mrs. Grapewin always says whatever 1 do is right, and—well—" The old servants have been back these many years now.
