Over at the General Service studios, I drop in to watch a scene in Fred Mac Murray’s independent production, "Pardon My Past.” There’s a big conference on in a set representing a New York street. Leslie Fenton, who quit acting to become a director, is working out a forthcoming bit of business with the aid of Mac Murray, Marguerite Chapman, Akim Tamiroff and Bill Demarest Tamiroff and Demarest are the most voluble but Fred is speaking his mind, too. He’s in an unusually talkative mood today. I catch him coming away from the conference. "You have any ambitions, later on, to become a director like Fenton?” I ask. "Not me,” he says. "Acting is the easiest racket. You go home at night and you can forget it. A director always has to worry about what he’s going to do the next day.” Fred hasn’t given any thought to the future if he ever quits acting. He’s known as a hunter and a fisherman and I thought he might trek to Africa, like Gary Cooper, in search of big game. “I've never even shot a deer," he says. "I hunt birds and small game. What I like most is fishing. The fresh-water kind. When I get out in a boat, I’m apt to get seasick.” The country Fred would like tc visit after the war is New Zealand. “I hear they have some wonderful stream fishing there,” he says. Actors are confident people but they all feel silly making “a wild - sound track.” In a "wild sound track,” no visual image is photographed. The actor just talks and the voice is recorded. They usually repeat the same line over and over again. _ , This week, on the "For Better or for Worse” set, I watch Bob Walker trying to make a “wild sound track” of a laugh. He can t make it sound natural enough to suit Director Richard Whorf. They call a halt for a minute. June Allyson walks across the set, trips on a rug, and almost gees on her face. Walker laughs, but loud. “How do you like that guy? says June. "For him tp laugh, I’ve got to fall down.” -
