Up. To

Walter Huston clainis he did almost ne much work in the privacy of his own home as he did on the talkic sets in preparation for his role of the President in "Gabriel Over the White House," daring story of present-day Washington activities now being shown at the Queen's' Theatre,

"I not only had to familiarize my- self with the working script and memorize the dialogue, related.the. well-known character netor in a re- cent interview, "but it was also necessary for me to read more than 1,500 pages of Congressional speeches and editorial-comment as well as a formidable number of biographies of Cleveland, Roosevelt, Harding, Coo- lidge, and Hoover in order to dis cover what fundamental qualities an able President must have."

When Metro-Golwyn-Mayer · pur- chased the sensational anonymous novel, "Gabriel Over the White House," for film purposes it was Inevitable that Huston would be selected to play the role of the President who amazes the world when he changes front a weak irresolute politician to a man of iron who wrests the powers of a dietutor from Congress, solves the unemployment problem, breaks the power of the racketeers and settles the international debt problem.

For Huston had long since proved himself adept at portraying Presi dents, having enneted both Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. As a preparation for the Lincoln role he rend forty lives of that President. He played Grant in a two-reel ghort subject, but for that comparatively shortor experience six weeks of read- ing were required.

Huston is one of the most experienc ed playera on the screen. A native of Toronto, he was educated as an engineer but gave up this profession to become an actor. Ho rose steadily through stock companies to his post- tion as n Broadway stage star, which ho gave up to come to talkles in 1920- with "Gentlemen of: the Press." He has recently scored in a number of
