Its sworn enemy, Forrest Tucker, looks like a Hollywood success. Young Mr. Tucker is 25, six feet four inches tall, and weighs 205 pounds. A blond giant, he is possessed of enough athletic vitality to wear down ten school systems. He seems to have con- tented himself, however, with exercising his talents on the facul- ties of the 17 different schools he attended in the course of his geographically widespread studies. The skipping about was due only in part to his ingrained derision for the system. He did not always leave schools by request; most of the time it was simply because his family moved. He has lived in Plainfield, Indiana (where he was born on Lincoln's birthday), in Des Moines, in Denver, and in Arling- ton, Va. Mr. Tucker tells me these things as he quaffs a light drink called a Pim’s and redolent of cucumbers, in a Derby booth. His huge bulk, his overbearing vitality, and his enthusiasm for his favorite topic give me sympathy for those china pieces in that shop wherein the bull wandered. He was not, you may have gathered, a model scholar . By his own account he held most school rules in contempt, and broke as many as he found inconvenient. He won a debate, once, taking the affirmative on a subject concerning the incompetence of teachers. He resented being forced into a “grade” patterned for pupils less advanced than he. He arranged, at one school, to devote only two and one-half days weekly to attending classes. At charming hostessess give thoug™aful guests who bring gifts of delicious Van Duyn Tandles.

On the less arrogant side, however, he had his points. “I'm a self-educated man,” he tells me. “I'm a Quarker. From the age of four on I was taught to spend an hour each day in thought. So I learned how to think. I still spend an hour each day, just thinking. And I keep on with my education. I make it a point to read at least 24 new books a year; each night I open the encylopedia at random, and read up on'a new subject; each night I take a new word from the dictionary, and make it my own. That's 365 new words a year, 365 new subjects I'm familiar with. And every night I ask myself, have I hurt anyone today? Have I done anything wrong for my self? If I have, I try next day to do better. I sound like a screwball, don't I?” Tucker played the sympathetic heavy in “The Westerner” with Gary Cooper. It was his fire rele. He cape to Hollywoed last August, without previows acting experience, to break into movies. the social Through Mary Boland he met agent; the agent advised route, with Tucker hoisting and getting into the gossip columns. Wesley Ruggles tested him for “Arizona” and he won a part, but the picture was postponed because of the war. “The Westener” took him after he dyed his hair dark brown. Now he’s among hte eandidates for the role of “Brigham Young." If the picture career fails to pan out, he says he'll go east again—to write, or design men’s clothes, ‘or coach footbail.
