Americans, he declares, ara_ “too busy for love.” Their lives are full of other things, and consequently the little blind bow boy doesn’t get half the break that he does on the other side of the Atlantic. All of which, the handsome young Czech conceded to fellow players in Paramount’s “The Pursuit of Happiness,” is a good thing from a practical standpoint and saves this country a lot of trouble. But he holds, nevertheless that Americans don’t know what they’re missing. On the whole, Europeans have mors leisure than Americans and consequently devote more time to romance and courtship. Asa result, he declares, the opportunities for love are far more numerous there than in this country. “In Czecho-Slovakia,” he says, “the average woman does nothing to contribute to her financial support.

Men, too, have more time than here. It’s a common thing for people to spend all day and half the night sitting in cases—day after day and night after night. “But here jobs are still more numerous and life is not so empty. The women as well as the men have many interests. They're part of both the social and business worlds and they’re eternally busy. It’s a healthy condition. I think Europe would be better off if it prevailed there too. And yet . . . ” Pigs Were Pigs Lee Tracy’s first attempt at making money was at raising quinea Pigs.
