One Who_was better ver m , (193 Hlncls An independent survey was made recently among professional men and women—lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc. Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they personally prefer a light smoke. Miss Gaynor verifies the wisdom of this pref- erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That’s why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro- tection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process *It’s Toast: ”, Luckies are gentle on the throat. the Luckies are always the first to disappear. I suppose it’s just natural that Luckies would be the favorite brand because most of my friends in pictures have discovered that the long hours of rehearsing and shooting at the studio placea severe tax on the throat. Leading artists of the screen prefer Luckies because they are a light smoke that sympathizes with tender throats.” éfw+fia7m FEMININE STAR OF DAVID O.
