lTTdTrtlLIHTIIilIIUTI WWII all of ITlbsltliwufitolled Thee the examiner Saturday June 25 1977 Hans sad boulevardier By DON FREEMAN Copley News Service HOLLVWOOD Hans Conried who has richly theatrical manner was in reflective mood as he dwelled ruefuily on the injustices that time the cruelest of casting directors can inflict on one who treads the boards How said said MR Con ried the tones pure Smithfieid as ripe as pears in autumn how very sad to be boulevar dier in an age that lacks boulevard but it is bICSSIng Mr Conried went on to be born in time when one can be useful Put your mind on the plight of say George Scott if he were to have emerged as an ac tor another time when drawing room farce was all the vogue You an actor sir he would have been told Go sir and do your proper work on the draymanswagon As for me he continued it is small mater what role play Ihavcnt changed my per formance since was lad of 18 tall for my age when would go on stage and convince an audience that was older Since undoubtedly did con vince them must have been better actor then Its nice to report that have been working steadily at my wandering Gypsys trade for 42 years This is rather satistying to an old trouper never to have set foot in an unemployment line and to have home my retreat from all the slings and arrows that is all paid for It is most splended home too perched on Hollywood hillside and it is repository of his impressive collection of apenesc art works Mostly Conried tours in various plays and he does an oc casional television spot Recently on radio he perform ed on Hi Browns CBS Mystery Theatre and Adven ture Theater And seveal times year for nostalgias sake he appears on radio pro gram called Heartbeat Theater which is sponsored by the Salvation Army Owing to the particular nature of the dramas we pre sent Mr onried said play either hapless bum or an of ficer of the Salvation Army oc casionally doubling Picture it he implored All of us old radio actors meeting again We put on our spectacles and tearfuliy em brace each other You havent dicd one of us will say to the other but do you know who has And then we all try to play young voices on the air He sighed As an old radio actor he said mournfully feel at one with the maker of buggy whips At once he brightened Ah radio he cried The theater of the mind where the rubies were always flawless and as big as the mind would will them Once this goes back some years now was trying to ex plain the greatness of oldtime radio drama its glories and its grandeur to my daughter who was at the time She said Radio on know daddy you mean the thing in the car promptly sent her to her room Hans onried takes perverse and airy pride in the fact that in his entire career on TV and radio he has never had 46 DUNLOP STW his own series Always he has acted in support of the stars as the memorable Uncle Tonoose for instance on the old Danny Thomas show Perhaps the fact that have never starred as the Cphrase goes will give me some istinc tion on the veranda of the old actors home Conried said when we hams in retirement bore each other with our cunn ing and our reminiscences waving yellowing notices of bygone plays Although his mannered can dor has the curious effect of bestiring kind of self deprecation the fact is that iians onrieds career has been remarkably varied and very successful And he has played his share of viiiians including Uboat commanders in World War 11 epics beyond count HANS CONRIEI blessing aligns UM Em iv Home July 24 pm Exhibition Stadium CNE Toronto Tickets Reserved Grandstand General
