This is from a movie magazine, 1943.
Caption R: By the time this reaches print, Bob Taylor will be wearing the uniform of a Lieutenant (j.g.) in the U.S. Navy. An expert civilian flier, he’s in the Ferry Command.
Caption R: The Studio asked for and was granted a 60 day deferment for Taylor so that he could finish making one more film, Russia.
Caption L: A hapy grin as Bob shows Ray his orders. He says it is “the proudest assignment I’ve ever received in my life.” Taylor rated the commision as a graduate of Pomona College, will take usual indoctrination course.
Caption R: Fans cluster around the stars as they follow their wives into Mocambo. Ray is making The Unrequited. Barbara Stanwyck’s Lady of Burlesque is now in the theaters.
Caption L: Clowning happily and assuming a Napoleonic pose for the benefit of a Marine and a soldier friend, Bob is refusing to be impressed with any tales of life at sea as the gentleman on the left demonstrates a ship’s roll.
Caption R: Leaving a Hollywood night club means the running of the gauntlet of fans. The Taylors and Milland wait for Mrs. Milland who stopped for a final word with some friends.
Caption: Chilly night brought out fur coats for the wives, and Bob looks little bit as if he could use a heavy duty service coat. He is well used to uniforms. He played a Navy Officer in Stand By for Action, a soldier in Bataan.
No one looked better in a Navy uniform than Robert Taylor. He was a real patriot! Thanks, Judith.
