Hamilton was rather upset, the actor So were the said later. critics. It was like that for Humphrey Bogart in the beginning shaky starts and a nervous stomach. However, that particular incident was an early indication of a certain kind of nerviness that bespoke a man who believed in doing things just like you feel like doing and taking the consequences." Bogart's emergence as a major personality, from his Broadway years in drawing-roocomedies to his success in motion pictures, is traced in Bogie, a special that dramatizes the life of the legendary actor, Tuesday, March 4, on CBS. Kevin OConnor and Kathryn Har-rol- d star as Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in the drama, which focuses on Bogarts dilemma of trying to balance his popular image as a tough guy and his gentler but complex offscreen personality. Bogart's acting abilities and disposition on stage improved after his unsteady start in 1922, but for the next 15 years he seemed doomed to play country-clu- b juveniles in drawing room comedies, making his entrance wearing a blazer and carrying a tennis racquet. It was during one such production that Twentiscouts saw eth Century-Fo- x him and brought him to Hollywood, where he spent most of 1931-3- 2 getting nowhere fast. Bogart decided that he could never be a leading man in motion pictures because of his split upper lip (pierced by a splinter when he was serving on board a Navy ship) and returned to Broadway. If Arthur Hopkins, who was producing a new play by Robert E. Sherwood, The Petrified Forest, had not lacked someone to play the tough gangster part of Duke Mantee, Bogart might have wound up playing Tennis, anyone?" types for the rest of his career. Bogart won the Mantee role because of his world-wear- y voice. Later, he appeared in the movie version, which resulted in his becoming one of Hollywood's most celebrated hoods in sub sequent parts. In his first 34 pictures, Bogart was a jailbird in nine, was electrocuted or hanged in eight and riddled by bullets in a dozen. Though he was something less than a tough guy audiences were attracted to his man's man personality. His gradual emergence as a star began with High Sierra and continued through The Maltese Falcon (which brought him an Oscar in 1952) and Casablanca. . For his tough-gu- y roles Bogart donned his 'cosmetics. He would let his beard grow, dangle a cigarette from his lips and adopt the clipped, t j;(v box-offi- ce accent salty of 12:00P.M. 1:00P.M. 1:30P.M. 2:30P.M. 3:00P.M.

(CONCLUSION) underworld. An uncontrollable muscle tic above his left eye, his square jaw and a hangover pallor also helped define the gangster demeanor. Cosmetics and tough-guimage notwithstanding, what his fans and friends apparently loved most about Bogart was a quality he possessed on screen and off: honesty. He was true to himself, v Lauren Bacall, his fourth wife, once said, Bogie was the last of a breed. No man was more part of the scene. To never sell your soul, to have to be true to yourself, were the values in which he believed. There was something else about Bogie. He was an iconoclast, with a keen sense of realism and humor about his tough-gu- y image. He once said to Raymond Massey as they watched their doubles duel it out in a hazardous film sequence, Ray, Ill bet you $10 my double is braver than yours. SUNDAY Michael Landon, star of NBCs Little House on the Prairie, is a talented actor, writer, director and producer and a sucker for impressionists.
