Granger Quits Hollywood,
Sees Broadway Stage Work
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD I* -Bobby - Sox
idol - Parley Granger has left bls
thriving Hollywood career behind
to learn how to be a better actor.
It may sound like sheer folly,
but the handsome young actor has
wiggled out of his contract with
Sam Goldwyn, closed his home
here end departed for more stim-
ulating climates. That doesn’t
mean he won’t be back. He ex-
plained bis plan before be left.
"A couple of years sgo. I was
making a picture," recalled Grang-
er. the typical Hollywood hero in
slacks and tennis sweater. ”I
stopped myself in the middle of it
and realized I was sliding by on
my previous reputation and the
tricks I had learned in pictures.
That wasn’t good.
“I decided I should do some-
thing about it. After all, I want to
be an actor as long as I can. 1
know that I can't always get by
because of s bobby-sox following.
Some day a new guy like Tab
Hunter will come along and they’ll
flock to him. If I haven't grown as
an actor. I'll have nothing left to
go on but personality. Personality
is a good quality tor an actor, but
he has to have ability too.”
Granger decided he would have
to return to the stage in order to
gain more maturity as sn actor.
Except for a three-year hitch in
the Navy, he had been In the mov-
ies 10 years and hadn’t done any
stage work since his middle teens.
His boss, Mr. Goldwyn couldn't
see it his wsy. He would give the
led contractual concessions but
never the time off to do s play
This and other matters touched off
an intermittent feud in which the
actor was suspended a number of
times.
He- finally got his freedom
Eighteen months of it, anyway.
Granger is sble to direct his own
destiny for that period, then Gold-
wyn has the option of signing him
up to another contract.
His first try at the footlights will
be a four-week summer thester
1 tour In "John Loves Mary" in New
England. Then be leaves for Italy,
where b'll make “Senso,” a color
epic with Alida Valli and George
Sanders.
A’etfr htat, I want to tackle
"After that. I went to tackle
Broadway," he remarked. “I've
got a play in mind that I’d like to
do. If they can wait until I get
back from Italy—about December
-ru do it.”
If he gets into a hit play in
New York, that would mean he
wouldn't be able to do a picture
until summer of 1954 end perhsps
later. How would thst affect his
youthful following, which, is no.
tably fickle?
“That’s one of the gambles I
have to take," he replied. "I may
flop on my face when I try the
stage. But the important thing is
that I tried. It’s more important
to have tried the thing and failed
than never to try. I would always
bear the regret for not having
taken the chance.”
