From time to time I receive
letters asking me what I think
of cigarettes. Do I approve Of
cigarette smoking for girls and
women; are cigarettes harmful,
etc. But the most persistent
question is, "Will cigarettes help
one to reduce?"
The answer to the first queS'
ton is this: I believe that
cigarette smoking has become a
woman's privilege to use in just
the same way she does eating or
drinking. It is simply matter
of habit and appetite; deport'
ment and morals are not the
issue at all. The second ques-
ton, "Are cigarettes harmful"
Cigarettes are not harmful to
adults. Very few singers smoke,
and athletes in training are not
permitted to smoke.
For the third question. "Will
cigarettes help one to reduce|
I feel like answering, "Who
started that, anyway" The
only way cigarette smoking will
help you to reduce is in making
the cigarette (perhaps dozens Of
them) take the place Of food.
The appetite for food can be ap-
peased for q while BY smoking,

THE BOY SHE LIKES is
ENGAGED TO ANOTHER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
! met boy not long ago who
has a girl in another city. The
only time I see him is on Sum
days, and then he wants me to
60 out with him. He tells mo
he is very fond of me, and I
believe his actions show he
means it. Butt have heard
folks say, and he also admits it.
that he is to be married to this
out-of-town girl.
Do you think I'm being fair
to this other girl and myself by
going with him? I surely do
like him, and when he's away. I
miss him more than can say.
BETTY.
It seems to me that you are
only storing up trouble for
yourself, growing more and
more fond of him. Besides, I
don't think it's fair to his girl.
It seems to me that it doesn't
sound sporting for an engaged
man to be going out with an
other girl.
You certainly wouldn't have
any trouble getting another boy
friend. Why don't you try?

and seems serious and depend
able.
Several months ago he was
offered a position in another
city; now he wants me to be-
come engaged to him, but says
he can't afford a diamond ring
at present. He wants to give
me a very good ring or none.
He asked me to prepare for the
wedding by stocking UP my
hope chest.
I don't go out much with
other boys, but when I do I
always have a good time. Do
you really think my boy friend
is serious, and would it be wise
for me to get ready for my mar.
riage to this boy? Shall I let
other boys come to see me in
the meantime? Or what do you
think of this whole matter?
IN DOUBT.
If you really and truly loved
this boy. you wouldn't doubt
him for one second. If his in
tentions aren't serious, I don't
understand why he'd deliber.
ately court trouble by asking
you to become engaged and get
up a hope chest. Engagements
are often more difficult to get
out Of than marriage.
If you're not certain you love
him, better allow other boys to
call on you, so that you may be-
come absolutely sure before you
take this step.

WITH RUTH
cHATTERTON IN
"D0DsWoRTH" He
WON FRESH LAURElS

HoUGH offered a. fortune to appear in
more than one film a year, Walter
Huston has refused to do 50. The
actors in Hollywood are committing
professional suicide by being seen too often
on the screen. Their characterizations have
no more individuality than sausages on a
string"
Such able critics as George Jean Nathan
and Eugene O'Neill consider Huston the
finest actor in America. He is vivid and real
istic; his technique is as bountiful and un-
obtrusive as nature. Somewhere along the
theatrical road he learned the fine art of
restraint
An intelligent conversationalist, he might
be termed taciturn man. I asked him to
describe Hollywood in sentence. Il will, in
word, he said: Fear"
Books given by such friends as Sinclair
Lewis and Eugene O'Neill remain unopened.
Il just don't read books that's ALL
He is without ostentation and has never
accepted an invitation to dinner in Holly
wood. Il don't like to talk about films, and
they talk about nothing else
His nature is as open as a meadow.
His dressing room is open to casual callers.
Il treat them like I'd like to have we'll
known people treat me. like people, and
their admiration. It took me long enough to
get it,"
Huston was born in Canada of Scotch Irish
parents. His real name is Houghston.
At eighteen he studied to become an engi-
neer. At twenty he decided to become an

actor and joined a Toronto stock company
that journeyed through the provinces.
All stock companies seem to go broke and
disband when future prominent actors join
them. This company was no exception. Young
Huston hoboed to New York where, after
considerable hardship, he succeeded in getting
a three-line part with Richard Mansfeld's
company. On the first night he bungled his
lines and was promptly fired.
While the gawky Canadian boy stood crest
fallen in the wings, the great Mansfield ap-
preached. Unknowingly. the boy blocked the
mighty mans way.
With the irritation for which he was noted,
Mansfield asked icily, is it your presence
that is needed, or mine?"
The discharged boy stepped meelIly aside
and allowed - though he knew it not - his
inferior to pass.
He lived in a three -dollar-a-week room with
five other young actors. John Edmunds.
more prosperous actor, lived across the
hall.
Edmunds would make pot of coffee and
order dozen extra doughnuts each morning.
knowing the pride of young ham actors, he
would hammer at their door and say, 1--we
got lot of extra doughnuts and some coffee
left. You fellows may as well eat."
One morning while the snow swirled out
side, Huston remained to talk to Edmunds.
Il think I'll 60 back and study engineering -
I've got two years in," Huston oonfided.
That's good idea," returned Edmunds.
Finish everything you start in this world"
Evening star., 1937-01-03

Months of uncertainty and near destitu-
ton followed. When at the edge Of despair, he
read a play which was soon to be produced.
He convinced the producer that he could play
the part Of "Mr. Pitt. 1t was beginning.
He next appeared in The Fountain" and
Congo" He first attracted national atten-
ton in ''The Barker" and Elmer the Great"
During rehearsals of the latter play he
was given encouragement and instruction by
that prince among Irisl,men." George M.
Cohan. who taught him much about the art
Of acting.
Cohan passed his faith in Huston along to
Eugene O'Neill who selected him for the
leading role in Desire Under The Elms."
David Wark Griffith wxs at this time in
search Of an actor to play the film role of
Abraham Lincoln He asked George M. Cohan
fhe thought Huston were equal to it. Sure"
was the reply. THAT guy could play Carrie
Huston was selected.
Tall, angular. slow moving - there was
strong resemblance between Huston and the
Lincoln of the middle period. His work in this
film made him one of the great character
actors of the screen.
His role in 'Dodsworth' is considered the
best Of 1896 by leading cinema critics.
His home in the San Be1nardino Mountains,
one hundred miles from Hollywood. was built
three years ago. It is surrounded by huge
pine trees. and commands view to the far
horizon. He wanted to settle there with his
lovely wife, Man Sunderland
But the stage play. ''Dodsworth,' became
sensation in New York. He played in it 1928
times. His wife playing opposite him. they
remained eighteen months in that city, and
as many more on tour across the nation.
He next went to England and appeared in
Rhodes - The Empire Builder"
When it was desided to make film version
OF "Dodsworth" he returned to Hollywood.
What particular episode stands out in your
career?" asked him.
The answer was, The talk with John
Edmmds over coffee and doughnuts.''
And what else?"
when stoodn Richard dMansfeld'sway.
