know she is in the city. She, |
herself, says she wasn't.
Simone Simon, the French actress who just recently walked out on a picture in Hollywood saying she was too ill to work, was in Indianapolis last night and may be today for all any one but Simone Simon knows. . She was at the Claypool and denied in an “levator to a Times reporter that she was Simone Simon. “I am not the person you're looking for,” she said in a French accent that was unmistakable. Besides, seferal people knew she was Simone mon, including the interviewer.

lobby, sent a telegram to.a person in |-
Chicago and signed it something like “McDonald.” Then she walked |
* back across the lobby to the ele- |
vator, went to the fourth floor and | disappeared in a huff that was | luxurious. Simone motored into Tndianspolis, we understand. and was leave the city some time tod
bound east. Already Hollywood a notices have come through that the |
report of her illness had been | greatly exaggerated, Simone left word at the Claypool | desk that she was not to he disturbed even in event of a telegram. She sent a money order for $20 with [' the telegram. It was said that a very “French looking man stood in ‘the Claypool lobby and wrote in a | fine script ga letter completely. in French and addressed it to Paris.” Then he left.
And Clocked Hose, Too!
Simone Simon was in room num‘ber 415 She wore a hat that came to a point. She wore a black suit, talored, with a white ruffled collar. She wore black Silk hose with clocks. - While sending the wire she leaned far over the counter and after she had given it to the clerk he asked about the name. She leaned far over “the counter to verify it. She did. Her arrival in the city was known as early as 5:30. At 9 she had left her room for parts unknown.

Signs of lis Age!
Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 30. wood is getting old enough to have second generations. The latest example was found on “The Making of O'Malley” set during production. ‘Coincidentally, the second generation of a movie family to begin its motion picture work in “The Makdng of O'Malley” is the O'Malley family itself. ‘Eileen, Sheila and ‘ Kathleen, daughters of the famous movie star of the silent days, Pat O'Malley, are the younger generation in discussion. They worked for several days with Pat O'Brien, star of the picture, as schoolgirl extras. For further coincidence, O'Brien's character name in . the picture is Pat O'Malley. The ages of the O'Malley girls are: Kathleen, 12, Sheila, 14, and Eileen, 17. Eileen already had worked as an extra before
the first screen work for Kathleen and Sheila. The girls have flaming red hair and typically Irish blue eyes. All three also are preparing for future picture work. Their work in “The ‘Making of O'Malley” is the last for a while, as school has started again for them. But they all hope some day to attain a position on the screen comparable to the one held by their ither. .. Pat O'Brien was their father by proxy on “The Making of O'Mal- * set, but they called him Uncle

‘Anthony Adverse’ Holds Right to Be Called ‘Super-Colossal

Movie Opening Here Friday Is Based on Popular Book of 1224 Pages, or 495,000 Words.
i The film version of “Anthony Adverse,” which is to open at the | Circle Friday, has an, advantage over the general run of “colossal” Hollywood productions, for it is based on a “super-colossal”’ book which has to be described in gargantuar terms. Hervey Allen's book of the same title was planned over a period of two years, ‘and Mr. Allen was four years in the actual process of writing it. There ‘are 1224 pages and 495,000 words. Many ‘of you know that already, however, for the book has had an estimated 3,000,000 readers.

‘How Many Times Will You See This Picture? "After you see “Dodsworth”, you won’t be content merely to remember it as a thrilling emotional experience...Just as you reread masterpieces of literature time and again year after year...so will you want to see this picture not once, or twice, but many, many times. And each time that you see it, you will find new reasons to acclaim it. Its ‘universal, human drama will achieve new intensity. You will find new
“depth and warmth in its characters. And as a living portrait of our life “and times it will probably stand unsurpassed through the generations...
