GOTHAM SIGHTS ARE 'MAJESTIC' TO SABATINI Famous Author Stares Open-Mouthed as He Sees Towers. BY H. ALLEN SMITH Inited Prexs Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—Rafael Sabatini, novelist, a big, thickshouldered man, counterpart of his own Captain Blood, stood on the sidewalks of Forty-second street Thursday, stared open-mouthed for a bit at the glistening white tower of the Chrysler building, and muttered the Italian equivalent of “Gosh dum!” For years Rafael Sabatini has been living in the midle ages. He has had no time to read contemporary writings, scarcely time to look over the daily papers. Sometimes, in his meandcrings through ancient periods, he changes pace, but it is only to jump from Elizabethan England, to the Italian renaissance, or to the period of the French revolution. And now, for the first time, he has come face to face with his town of towers. It overwhelms him. It Is Majestic Sight “New York,’* he said, “is vastly different than I imagined. I thought I w T ould find a glorified factory town. But it has turned out to be the most majestic sight my eyes have encountered. It is so majestic it is terrifying.” Sabatini’s play, “The Tyrant,’* is in rehearsal at the Biltmore theater. He kept telling Cesare Borgia and Machiavelli, characters in the play, that they should nod their heads at certain tirfies, or take a step to the right or left. But he admitted his mind was not on the play. Hewanted to get back into the street and have another walk through the lanes of skyscrapers. Sabatini revealed his manner of research. Preparing to write a book on a, certain historical period, he depends, to a great extent, on plays written during that period. From these he gets an idea of the manner in w r hich people talked and thought. Reads Volumes of History But he reads volumes and volumes of histories, memoirs, biographies and diaries. He studied the American revolution for his book, “The Carolinian.” For “Scaramouche,” he explored the French revolutionary period. He has dug into the history of buccaneering on the Spanish main and the romance of the Mediterranean corsairs. The most difficult task of all was his preparation for writing “Bellarion.” This story was laid in Italy in the early fifteenth century before the coming of the printing press. Contemporary writings were scarce and the task of reconstructing the era was extremely difficult. “Scaramouche” was the first Sabatini book to make a hit in America. He just has completed the se- < quel, “Scaramouche the Kingmaker.” He will stay in America about two months and may find time for a brief visit to Hollywood.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FRANCE SET TO GREET COSTE ANQBELLONTE Ocean Fliers Arrive at Havre; Paris Ready to Pay Tribute. Bn United Press HAVRE, France, Oct. 24.—Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte arrived here on the liner France today, with their trans-Atlantic airplane, Question Mark, riding proudly on the forward deck illuminated by a battery of flood lights. Correspondents waited five hours to meet Coste aboard, and they found the Georgian princess, Mme. Mary Coste by his side when he received them. There was no American woman on the France, as had been rumored, to claim the attention of the famous aviator. Mme. Coste was there, despite Coste’s instructions to the contrary. Madame Bellonte, more obedient, remained in Paris to greet her husband there. Tire beautiful Mme, Coste, dressed gorgeously in a brown ensemble, smiled when correspondents questioned her, but declined to discuss her statement that she and the pilot were married on the eve of his trans-Atlantic flight. Moreover, any question of the couple’s private affairs appeared forgotten as France prepared to

welcome the airmen who flew for the first time over the reverse of the “Lindbergh trail.” Their popular reception was expected to surpass any civic welcome since Paris paid clamoring tribute to the aged Victor Hugo in 1881. Coste slipped off to Deuville with Madame Coste and several friends, preparatory to returning here for the official welcoming ceremonies late today before going to Paris. A Denver snowstorm took precedence over Newfoundland fogs as the worst memory of the flight, Coste said. “The fog was child's play compared with those cross currents and the snow in the Rockies,” he said. “It was a terrible experience. I was black and blue for four weeks from the bumps I received. “The Question Mark is as good today as the day it hopped off at Le Bourget. I probably will be going somewhere soon.” The “somewhere” might be a friendship tour of Europe, Coste indicated. Taxi Driver Indicted by U. S. Lee Churchill Summers, alias Grounds, 27, former Indianapolis taxicab driver, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Cincinnati on a counterfeiting charge. It was alleged that Summers and a companion passed a spurious S2O bank note in a candy shop.
