Everybody works together." Studio System Benefits As for Hollywood, the old studio system had its benefits, Brown feels.

In films, he was almost type cast, frequently playing the good-natured, easy-going younger brother of the pretty girl.

In television, Brown had a recurring role in "Gunsmoke" and appeared in 26 episodes through the years before becoming a regular in "General Hospital." Brown is well off today. He has made investments in mines in Alaska and California, which are about to be sold. They will make a millionaire. But he doesn't intend to give up acting. "When that bell rings, you want to get in there," Brown declared.

Get to the studio by 6 and spend the day," Brown said. It is very much like the early years of his career when he worked in stock companies, Brown recalled. "You worked one show, rehearsed a second, and studied a third, all at the same-time," Brown observed. "There is great cameraderie in the soaps, too.

"Days of Our Lives" on NBC-TV.

It's a long way since he debuted in silent films. Brown is 63 years old. He was less than two years old when he made his show business debut in vaudeville, with his parents. His mother, known professionally as Marie Francis, is still alive and staying in her son's house in California.
