Abstract

Lantern slide displaying the view on alcohol of actor Tom Mix.

"Tom Mix is an abstainer
Tom Mix says: 'Before prohibition (in U.S.A.) I used to drink very occasionally, but since then i have given it up. I felt that I was acting on the films for the children and if they saw me smoking and drinking they would want to do it too. So I never smoke or drink on the films> I have given it up in private life as well.'"
