so far. it has netted him about 3500,000. The San Francisco premiers of "The Outlaw" will be a topic of Hollywood conversation for weeks to come. Hughes was cutting the picture in a Hollywood laboratory until 6 a. tn. on the day of the opening. He sneaked into town on a plane, but never showed during any ot the festivities. Easily, the most excited people in San Francisco were the picture's two young stars, Jane Russell and Jack Beute).

In the wallet were hia draft card and all the identification papers he had massed for a threemonth personal appearance tour with the picture. !

When and it Norma's handsome husband tries for his wings, she is expected to spend six weeks with her children and six weeks with Arrouge in Florida.
