 That young, handsome, rich, charming, successful, shrewd, lovable Hermit . . . whose real moniker is Peter Blair Noone . . . is looking for a wife! Is there a girl in the world who wouldn't jump at the chance to be the young Mrs. Noone? "I'm almost ready to fall in love and get married," says Peter, "the only trouble is that I haven't found the right girl. When I find her I'll marry her. I want to have my own home . . . a family . . . and I want it to be like my parents', where all of us kids were so happy. Maybe we didn't have too much money, but we all had love enough to make us feel as rich as kings. And that's what I hope to give my kids. I'll bring them up with a sense of values and responsibility like my folks brought us up." Although Peter is one of the most famous teen idols in the world, he is wholesome as they come, and clings to what some kids today call "old fashioned ideas." He's very much opposed to the California hippie crowd. "Those kids . . . the way they dress and the way they act. They really don't know what they want. They just think it's smart to shock people," he says, "and this whole business with drugs . . . that's plain stupid. All you can do is to hurt yourself. Once you're born, you have responsibilities both to this world and to yourself. You've got to contribute something worthwhile. If you decide to do something, you've got to do it well. It doesn't make a good impression to act silly and dress in a ridiculous way. That's just bad manners. Take rock 'n' roll, for example. Most of it is written by serious, talented musicians who want to create music in a form to match our modern way of life. Most of us in the pop music |
 business feel we owe teenagers the best we can do. Herman's Hermits will never record a song only to make money. We have to believe in it, know it's good, and will be fun for the kids to sing and dance to. When not performing with the group, Peter writes music and has begun to produce records for other artists. As for the future, he would like to devote more time to his former profession: acting. Peter was a well known theatre and T.V. child actor long before he joined the Hermits. As a matter of fact, he had a featured role in the British preversion of "Peyton Place," which was called "Coronation Street." In November of 1966, Peter made his American acting debut in a smash production on ABC-TV, "The Canterville Ghost." He received a staggering amount of fan mail. Now he has just finished shooting a new TV film presentation for CBS-TV. The Hermits' latest picture, "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter," is currently being released all over the United States. Peter Noone, the young man who has everything, is making it in the movies . . . now he wants a wife. Who knows, Mrs. Brown . . . maybe she will be your daughter! |
