Romeo Was Not

The

Ideal Lover

Westcott, near Dorking, June 24. LESLIE HOWARD, the British stage and screen star who has just appeared on the American screen as Romeo, thinks Shakespeare's ideal lover was just an unfortunate young man.

Since "Romeo and Juliet" was screened in America he has been mobbed by thousands of women in America. Wherever the he went he was billed as Ideal Lover,

"LESLIE YOWARD

" no ideal lover.

"1 an disgusted with the whole business," he said to-day,

"I would rather be known as an ordinary man who played the part of a lover well than have the labyl of my part tagged on me.

"Far from being the ideal lover, Romeo was just an un- fortunate young man caught up in a tragedy he had no power to avert."

Mr. Howard added that he didn't like the part, anyway.

The adulation of his women fans showed a “terribly low standard of appreciation."

PART HE WANTS

Mr. Howard would much prefer to be nimed as Hamlet, in which part he is to appear on the New York stage shortly.

"It's a part 1 have always wanted to play.

"11 would be a much more dlifeult film than 'Romeo-it it is to be done sympathetically and intelll- gently."
