Bankers and businessmen might today be dealing with a young banking tycoon by the name of Robart Young if that enterprising young man had not made up his mind to become a successful actor. Probably, the same thoroughness, judgment and talent that pushed him to the top of his chos: n profession won d have assured his su*eess in the banking business which he abandoned 15 years ago to go on the stage. In sharp contrast with the light, devil-may-care roles ne usually portrays on the screen, Robert Young in real life is a thoughtful, practi-cal-minded businessman who knows what he wants and gets it. Young found his routine banking job uninteresting. “Not because ♦here is anything wrong with banking,” he exp’ains. "I .just cou’d not concentrate on the job for wanting to act.’’
