Description
"In my freshman year [1929] I played the leading role in the campus performance 'Helena's Boys', greatly to the disgust of Professor Gray [Herbert B. Gray. Taylor's cello teacher from 1925 to 1931], who wanted to know why I fiddled about with such nonsense. He said that I should concentrate on the cello, that I had the makings of a concert artist, what had I to do with 'playacting?' I couldn't tell him. I didn't know myself. I don't know now. I only know that there was something in the musty smell of backstage that I like." - Robert Taylor, 1911-1969
