BOB YOUNG ACHIEVES HIS FILM AMBITION STAR MOVIE ACTOR NOW IS HIS OWN BOSS By VICTOR GUNSON Central Press Correspondent HOLLYWOOD — Robert Young, top flight screen figure for 15 years, is well launched on a new career as his own exclusive 'boss— and he loves it. There is good reason for that and it is simply because for the first time since he became a major star he can pick and choose his own roles. Bob has just completed his fourth picture since he left M-G-M, with two others to keep nis immediate future plenty busy “I like it this way, it's wonder- ‘ul,” Bob said, with a big grin. He talked to this correspondent about ris plans as he wound up *“The Searching Wind,” in which he is co-starring with Sylvia Sidney for Hal Wallis. He explained: “I do the roles I like and I don’t io the roles I don’t like. The de- cision is my own and that's the way I want it to be. If I make any mistakes, I won’t have any: one to blame except myself. “I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few months, probably through June. I have pictures to make for Twentieth Century-Fox and for RKO.” The Fox picture, incidentally, will be a sequel to “Claudia,” in which Bob and Dorothy McGuire scored such a sensational success just a few years back. It's called “Claudia and David,” and Miss McGuire will be the co-star again, of course. Bob and Dorothy are accus- tomed to working together. *“The Enchanted Cottage,” which they made last year for RKO, was one of the year’s biggest successes. Bob continued: “I'm not going to have much time to myself because I'll only have a few days after completing “The Searching Wind' before I go into the Fox picture and almost as soon as I finish that I'll have to go over to RKO. “Of course, they just happened to all bunch up that way. I only have one other commitment at the moment and that's with- David Selznick. I haven't any idea when he is going to call on me. It might dent. A number of important guild !

It isn’t that I have any particular place that T'd like to go.” Bob laughed, “Actually,” he said, “I'd just like to hang around and loaf.” One Film in Three Years Bob explained how he happened to leave M-G-M, where he was under contract for 15 years. “You probably don't realize it but during the last three years I was there I made only one picture for M-G-M,” he said. “All the other pictures were on loans to other studios. “I decided that the best thing for me to do was to become my own boss. T knew I would be much happier that way. “When I told them at M-G-M that I planned to leave the result Easter W, NOW HAVE 48-HOUR SERVICE JUST CALL ‘dny canvassing the town for work to do so they can earn money for | their camping trip this summer at | Eagle River.

The Norah is scheduled to drrive here Friday afternoon or evening, Skagway bound, and returns southbound next Sunday morning.

They all talked just like the studio would fold up if T left.” Besides being one of Hollywood's top stars, Bob is one of filmland's real home-bodies. He and his pretty wife, Betty, are kept busy with their four daughters, ranging in age from three months to 12, Like many other American families, they were exceptionally. busy during the past winter, The three older children were ill at one time¢ or another. Nothing serious, but just enough to worry them, “Our family is complete now,” Bob said. “We're not going to have any more children.” And then Bob Young went back to work before the camera as sole and exclusive boss of Bob Young. g m=omu HOoOZ>»oPpw MMM o A o
