"Candidly, I think there are few brands of either cigarette or tobacco that I have not sampled at one time or another; and the only time I smoke a cigarette is after each meal - or sometimes when a pipe is not suitable.

In an entirely unexpected and unusual bit of 'casting, Walter Catlett, comedian. will become a screen villain in A Tale Of Two: Cities. He will play John Ban- sad, a heartless rascal, in Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's film version of Charles Dickens' "spectacular novel.
In many respects the selection of Catlett for this role parallels David O. Selznick's daring choice of Roland Young. also a come- dian, to create the role of Uriah Heep in David Copperfield. So successful

William Powell's Trade-Mark
"An actor is s'mply a man with a trade-mark that sells his parti- cular bi of goods-and he's a success as long as his goods live up to the public's idea of the trade-mark.”
L
"
So declares William Powell. The great actor, now starring in Masquerade, which Introduces Luise Rainer, Viennese stage star. to the screen. believes that the principal reason players outlive their popularity is that they "ire- member their art and forget the trade-mark.".
"The public," he says, "forms a→ very definite conception of" the character of a star. This leads to a desire to see the star only in roles nap fit in with this concen- tion. The moment the star goes afle'd from this idea, he or she is in danger or losing popularity.".
This is one of the reason's Po- well is a great "mixer." He likes crowds. He likes to be with ped- ple, and to know their likes and dislikes
Thus he strives to find out what people think about him, and in "this he gets a definite idea of what his particular "trade-mark" means to them.
"I keep trying to know what the trade-mark means, and to live un to. It," he declares.
In his latest role he plays a de- bonair artist, lionized by society, and with the reputation of a Lo- thario.

SOMETHING. DIFFERENT
"I think the character is a good one for me," he says, "because, while it's different from anything I've done, it shows a fellow with a sense of humour. I believe that this, in my particular case, is what the public expects. I don't mean a comedian--though my roles tend to comedy rather a fellow who can see and if necessary take a" joke. Some characters played by comedians are laughed at-uthers laughed with Ike roles "where "the audience laughs with me, be-- cause I think that's what they want in my case.
