DECEMBER . 14 OU11 runmis Robert Young Clicked pn Class Prophecy ; The good-looking kid with the dark .hair squirmed a little in his seat at the high school commencement exercises exer-cises as the class prophecy was being read. He knew well what the future had in store for him. There was to be no question of college. His family neded financial assistance and it was up to him to get a job as quickly as possible. 4 Yet the class prophet was solemnly assuring the graduates grad-uates that this particular boy was to attain success in the theater, l But Robert Young paid little attention to the class prophecy back on that graduation day. Ever since he had started high school, he had been delivering papers and jerking jerk-ing sodas in his off-duty hours. Sometimes he used to dream about his three ambitions to raise a family, to live on a ranch, to become an actor. But that was just daydreaming day-dreaming to him. He saw no chance of the dreams coming true. ' Instead, upon leaving college, be got jobs clerking in a depart ment store, working in a brokerage broker-age office, later at a bank. But the . daydreams kept returning ind finally he decided to do something about them. Later, Bob had almost decided his fling in the theater was over, but like the proverbial last-.minute last-.minute rescue he got word that a forgotten screen test he had made was successful. Today he has made over 70 pictures without ever having played a minor role. His family is everything" to him. His wife is the former Betty Henderson who was his first sweetheart and also his first lead ing lady, playing Maid Marian to his Robin Hood in high school And there are the four daughters. daugh-ters. The wags insist that the Crosbys with their four sons ought to team up with the Youngs and their Carol Anne. Barbara Queen, -Betty Lou and Cathleen Joy. ' "With all of his day-dreams become be-come realities, Bob can still re member the struggles of his less Successful days. Therefore he never quarrels, is never hard to handle, never does anything to jeopardize his position. And Hollywood Hol-lywood can't understand him a star with no discontent at all.

She does it by writing letters, she told Producer Mark Hellinger. The earliest ambition of the brunette actress, who was discovered dis-covered by Orson Welles and played a lead in her film debut, was to be a writer. "Every time I sat down to write something for publication," she said, "I felt self-conscious, my writing became stilted. But I enjoyed en-joyed writing letters. I could dash off letters of two or three thousand thous-and words with practically no effort. I wrote letters to my family and friends every day. Then it dawned on me that I was writing my book. Now I am collecting col-lecting my own letters, editing them, writing connecting and explanatory ex-planatory matter and by Christmas Christ-mas I expect to have a book on the way to a publisher." Hellinger is so interested in the Warrick writings that he has asked forirst chance at the film rights to the book when it is finished.

Both Ames and Director Richard Rich-ard Wallace placed much importance im-portance on color, including an actor's ability to blush, turn pale or livid with rage, as a means of expression. Maureen O'Hara's ability to flush with embarrassment or anger in "Sinbad the Sailor" attracted at-tracted so much attention in Hollywood that in the future the number one casting question may well be, "Honey, can you still blush?"
