Walter Huston claims he did almost as much work in the privacy of his own home as he did on the talkie 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 land to familiarize my- helf with the working script and memorize the dialogue, related the well-known character actor in a re- cont interview, "but it was also necessary for me to read moro than 1,600 pages of Congressional speecher ond editorial comment as well as a formidable number of biographies of Cleveland, Roosevelt, fiarding, Coo- Hidge, and Hoover in order to dis cover what fundamental qualities an able President must have."

pur-

When Metro-Golwyn-Mayer 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 from a weak irresolute politician to a man of iron who wrests the powers dictator from Congress, solves the unemployment problem, breaks the power of the racketeers and, settles the international debt problem.

For Husion had long since proved himself adept at portraying Presi dents, laying enacted both Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, Ás a preparation for the Lincoln role he rend forty lives of that President. He played Grant in a two-reel short subject, but for that comparatively shorter experience six weeks of read- ing were tequired.

Huston is one of the most experienc- ed players on the screen. A native of Toronto, ho was educated as an engincar but gave up this profession to become an actor.
