World-Famous Sculptor MiWiWI j
Any prominence I n; \ enjoy is due < ntirely
to sculpture. So it must sound odd when J
J say that I'm giving i , up in favor of painting.
I “ Many sculptors, I ’m sore, will say,
“Barthe’s crazy. Th; tr be is, successful, and
* ■ he quits.” 1 don’t think of it that way. Sculp¬
ture has never* really ; ati lied toe. It shows
only the shape of people. W ith colors, i can
express the inner quality of people much
more vividly.
Of course, whetlu r an art ist finds sculpting
I i| m V '■ \ \ or painting more expressive for his purposes
is all a matter of toy to, p- mortal opinion. Just
, like the atmosphe re he likes to work in. For
!b % . ' i r^:y example, give me soft symphony music, a
glass of sherry and my pack of Luckies, and
MM. ISIS i I’ll work from dawn to dusk. smoked
Why Luckies? For 25 years I’ve
no brand but Luckies. All that time I’ve en¬
joyed the way th y smoke and, more im¬
portant, the way they taste. So, unless they
1 . change, I’ll probably ; okc them for 25 more
j years.
Note
'
Chances are you stroke to enjoy yourself just as
mm Richmond Barthe does. And smoking enjoyment is
all a matter of taste.
WsBm Luckies taste better . . . and two facts tell why.
Number one: Luckies are made of fine tobacco.

Wmm idKlfc ^pf * are made better to taste better . . . always firm and
fully packed for smooth, easy smoking.
So remember, the real enjoyment of a cigarette is
all a matter of taste. And the fact of the matter is

Remember, Luckies are made by The American
