Blues Reporter
Gets Interview
By KATHREEN MASSIE
Ladies, meet Stirling Hayden!
Glammer boy of 1941! A towering
structure of manly muscle (6 4)
plus looks and captivating charm
that’s Mr. Hayden. He was born
just twenty-four years ago in Mont
clair, New Jersey; but when be was
ouly nine, bis family moved to the
seaport town of Gloucester, Maine
And there be learned about sailors
• . . and liked it. He began bis
Sailing career as a mate on a sailing
Schooner. He stopped school fit fifteen,
'ind spent all his time on the water.
At the ripe old age of nineteen he
Was preparing for his FIRSl trip
around the world. He went as first
mate on a 92 foot schooner and spent
a year and a half seeing the world
That was in 1936. He has since taken
numerous jaunts on the water and
has completed his second round-world
tour—at twenty-four !
Mr. Hayden selects Tahiti as the
favorite spot of his travels; there, it
Seems, you judge a girl, not by her
face, figure, and dazzling smile, but
by the kind of ring she wears in her
nose! When asked what type of girl
he preferred, the blond giant looked
positively stumped, then said. Well,
the type of girl you can take any
where . . . from a sailing trip to the
El Morocco” — (Maybe some day
there’ll be one like that.) It is his
opinion that men don’t go for ex
tremes, such as the “Glammer-Glam-
mer Gal” or the “Vital Vitamine
Variety.” “Either in extreme,” he
says, “is obnoxious. Perfect fea
tures,” he continues, “are not the
essential. It’s the general appear
ance a girl makes that counts. But
• • . she MUST stand up straight!
Good jiosture is an essential to good
Jooks. Incidentally, the girls I saw
at Queens . this morning (the May
Court) were about the most beautiful
bunch I ever saw, including Tahiti!”
In answer to the query, ‘ When
a sailor, did you have a girl in every
port?” he shyly announced that he
hadn’t been in every port!
Mr. Hayden looks like a handsome
swashbuckling gent from the days
when chivalry was all the rage. He
has the kind of blue, blue eyes that
look as if he could see a ship a
thousand mites across the water if
lie squints them a little bit. He is
the type that sunburns beautifully
and can keej) his bronze beauty de
spite tlie lulling efforts of winter.
His smile could sell a ton of tooth
paste and his hlond locks cause a
boon in the hair tonic business. If
looks mean anything in Hollywood,
Stirling Hayden has definitely ar
rived. Oh! and hy the way, Stirling
Hayden, as romantic as it sounds,
is his real name, and not thought u])
in Hollywood “to suit his personal-
itv.”
His philosophy for keeping his
hat the same size, during his sensa
tional rise to stardom is simply “to
be himself” and not feel that people
should regard him as something out
of the ordinary.
Mr. Hayden wants to remain as
close to the water as iiossible and
has a novel idea for setting up house
keeping in California. He has his
eye on a neat little schooner which
ne wants to huy and moor off the
neach at Santa Monica, and there
make his home right on the boat!
Boats are his hohby, and sailing boats
in particular.
As for the type of roles he hopes
to play in his future productions,
he says, “I hope I get some to play,
but I would prefer the type Gary
Cooper usually portrays, with plenty
of life and action.” If Mr. Hayden’s
role in “Virginia” with Madeleine
Carrol and Fred MacMurray is a
typical one, it looks as though he will
be able to pick his own parts. His
extreme good looks and very able
acting make “Virginia” a picture
worth seeing.

Andre Maurois
To Speak
At Queens
Fourth In Lecture
Series To Be Held
Queens’ students are eagerly look
ing forward to the lecture of Andre
Maurois, noted French author, on
February 19 at 8 o’clock in the col
lege auditorium. This is the fourth
attraction of the Queens College Lec
ture and Concert Series. An inter
esting program introducing this
event was presented in chapel Fri
day morning.
Maurois is outstanding as a his
torian, biographer, novelist, and
critic. His first great literary suc
cess was “I^es Silences du Colonel
Bramble” based upon his observations
of English army life in the first
World War. In 1923 his biography
“Ariel: Life of Shelley,” placed him
in the ranks of the world’s best
writers. Mr. Maurois’ major work
to date is his magnificent history,
“The Miracle of England.” He was
elected to the French Academy dur
ing the summer of 1939.
After the surrender of France,
Maurois sailed for the United States.
He has given lectures at Cambridge
University and at Princeton, and this
fall he delivered the Lowell Lec
tures at Harvard University. His
own experiences with the British
and French armies will form the
background for his lecture here.
Juniors To
Give Play
The juniors are on the loose again,
and this time they are going to end
up with the funniest three-act play
Queens College has ever seen. Co
directors Dot Funderburk and Billie
Harmon have just announced that this
superb comedy will take place Febru
ary 26, so get out your calendars and
reserve that date for the juniors.
As yet the characters have not been
introduced to the public, but know
ing the abundance of talent in the
junior class, we can say that “NO
MEN ADMFl'TED” will be one of
the best hits of the season.
The juniors want to stress the fact
that for only fifteen cents ei'eryone
will be able to see why NO MEN
are ADMITTED.
