Abstract

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 smokign 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."

Here the famous Western film actor Tom Mix claims that the reason for his pledge was his sense of responsibility towards his young fans.
