In reviewing his autobiography I
Like What I Know, the October

of the young unknown artist, a
dedicated hard working missionary
for art.” The review also said that

judgments and praises his first
hand, open-eyed encounters with
art . He disarmingly confesses
how his own taste, perception, and
capacity for appreciation have con
stantly changed and expanded.
The star of stage, screen, and
television says he prefers^ conaedy
roles, but the parts of vilhans are
the most fun in the world.
Mr. Price graduated from Yale
with the idea of using his deg^e
in art to become a professor. He
obtained his masters degree in Art
from the University of London, ana
while there he accepted a dare to
try out for a part in the play Chi
cago.” He got the part and from
the on all thoughts of becoming a
professor vanished. Since then e
has appeared in such plays and
movies as “Song of Bernadette
“Champagne for Caes^, the
House of Wax,” “The Ten Com
mandments,” and “Cirois He
gained fame as Prince Albert m the
London production of “Victoria Re
gina,” and later played opposite
Helen Hayes in the New York per
formances of the same play. Be
sides being an actor and art col
lector, Mr. Price is well-known as
an amateur archaeologist and' an
thropologist.
His other hobbies include garden
ing, swimming, cooking, and travel-
