During his career, Smart has cultivated everything from a full beard to a wisp on his upper lip, according to the density of- foliage his roles demanded. Now he no appears on the stage, his permanent facial shrubbery consists of a modified handlebar mustache which he twirls unconsciously during a conversation. Smart's radio voice 'is really deceiving. In' person, he's a soft- spoken, sensitive, intelligent man, But once in a while his fun-loving spirit takes over and he engages in what he terms "screwball" antics, such as taking over the drums or bass fiddle in a night club band or winning a prize at a costume ball by wearing a cellophane cake of ice Engineers to Hear Publications Head Charles A.

and Mrs. Virgil Krichbaum of Stimson street, Kittery. A mole can move an object thirty-two times its' own weight. "HOWEVER, most of the stories about me' are greatly overemphasized," Smart said with a chuckle. "A lot of people expect such antics of me and magnify them all out of proportion." "Of course, I'm not completely innocent of the charges," lie added.

Despite this occasional madcap behavior, "The Fat Man" has a deep respect for his listening audience. With complete freedom to alter, cut or otherwise revise his weekly script, he strives to make each story as plausible as possible. "Grown people often- start listening to the program because' their children do. By making our plays realistic we can hold an intelligent, adultNaudience," he explained. HE JAKES particular pride in pointing out that his weekly show is the only radio detective program listened to regularly by the Broadway police force- because he uses actual police methods whenever possible.

After five years as a private "dick" in voice alone, the portly actor has no desire to play the part in (real life. "It would be a lot of work." Except for a brief interlude as a special officer in Ogunquit when his good friend, Cecil F. Perkins, was chief of police, Smart has never come close to engaging in actual crime detection. A MONTH AGO, the roly-poly scourge of radio's underworld journeyed to Hollywood and made screen tests. He's considering doing a movie this summer based on his radio show but that would entail plenty of work, something he studiously avoids, so he's undecided at present.

How did Smart happen to choose Ogunquit as his place of residence? Well, to begin with, he's a na- graced the cover of a national weekly magazine a couple of years ago, he went to Ogunquit to visit the well-known artist, John Falter, who had done, the cover drawin'g. He liked the location, met people in the town, returned visits and permanent for several prolonged finally established headquarters there. "THE FAT MAN" drives each Thursday to Boston and goes from there to New York by train or plane to prepare for his weekly broadcast. Rehearsals are held and script changes ironed out before the show on Friday night. He returns Saturday or Sunday because he doesn't "like New York City.

"Although you'd never know it, the best actors. and actresses always feel that no matter how long they've heen performing," he, said earnestly. "If they haven't got the sensitivity to sincerely feel that way, they're no damned good." he added, placing special emphasis on the last three words.
