ROLAND YOUNG

- USES’NO MAKE-UP. TROUBLE free career. Roland Young is very glad he is Roland Young. It means he does not have to work very hard when he acts and his film career is no bother at all. Roland’s career is not much bother to anyone else, either. When he reports for work all the department heads make a point of seeking him out to say hello. They are always delighted to see him; he never causes them any work. He wears his own clothes, so the wardrobe department doesn’t have to worry about costumbs. He uses not one speck of make-up, sb. the powder-puff-and-grease-pairit department is happy to ignore him. His hair is a little thin, and other actors might want a “front piece” or even a wig, but Roland does not,, so the hairdressing department is glad to pay him no attention. The actor says he feels sotry for his fellow-actors who spend half their working day in make-up and costume departments. When he has a studio call. for 9 o’clock in the morning he simply shows up at 8.59. So it is quite understandable why Roland Young is fond of being Roland Young.
