Actor Profits From Likeness To Gen. Mae
Hollywood, Dec. 6. Character actor Robert Barratt, famed for his Mac Arthur impersonations, lands a third film role as General MacArthur in An Atom of Love. Barratt recalls two prior scenes in They Were Expendable and a Tyron Power adventure, traveling 17 000 miles for two minutes of jeep work. He met the general in Tokyo, got the general’s guestbook inscription, and notes MacArthur’s hand waving posture and pipe. Barratt, 59, came to Hollywood in 1932 after 18 years in New York. The piece also mentions Governor-elect Howard Pyle’s Tucson visit and other Arizona political notes.

Howard R.
