Mae West Tells a Few Things to Reporters After Arriving In Boston

Radiant in all her buxom splendor, brimming over with her famous "sex personality," platinum-haired Mae West surged into Boston yesterday and at the CRIMSON'S invitation expressed her desire to see Harvard as it really was.

Amidst flashing emeralds and pink chiffon in her dressing room at the RKO Theatre, Mae admitted she didn't go in much for purity, but what other people made out of her use of the English Language was more or less up to them.

Lacking her usual "umphy" drawl, she floundered when asked if college men make good lovers. "I guess I haven't been around enough."

Censors College Girls

If a college girl, on the other hand, is too concerned about her figure she might as well throw her books away, Mae believed. "When a girl is at school her mind should be on her studies. "It's physical culture that takes care of the beauty angle.

Should "Birth of a Baby" be censored? She'd rather not say. "I don't care to look at them. After a mind has developed to a certain extent, it should know about these things."

No, it's not always the handsomest male which is the sexiest. Among Hollywood actors she picked George Raft as scoring high in sex personality, "But if I just look at a man they think it's something else."

Boosts Her Cuteness

Charlie Chaplin had it, too. A form of sympathy, a certain cuteness was in his twiddling of a woman's skirt. Mae thinks she has this kind of cuteness and gets a big kick when every one laughs.

"Robert Taylor has charm, but he's not sexy." He appeals to the flappers, not to the women who are a little smart--you know what I mean." Mae had an explanation for Gable, too. He puts himself over by force, "by wresstling with the women."

The curvy star just can't figure out why she's criticized. She empties churches, thousands flock to see her. "But many people think that because there is such a big box office there must be something wrong."

Diminutive little Assemblyman Francis X. Coyne of Dorchester, sponsor of a bill to tax the real estate of Universities which hire communists or fascists, was at the station to greet the actress as she get off the train in orchids and gray foxes
