Mystery
HOLLYWOOD, Nov.1 (U.P). —Egypt's diplomats in Washington, they regret to say, are uninformed whether the pyramids are for rent as movie billbqards. Producer Samuel Goldwyn, through his publicity chief, Jock Lawrence, desired to hang neon signs on the pyramids advertising his latest Goldwyn picture. A reply, replete with official seals, from the roval legation in Washington read: “In reply to your telegram requesting information concerning the reported plan to utilize the side of the pyramids for advertising purposes, I regret exceedingly this legation has no information in regard to this question.” W. Rostum, charge d'affaires ad interim, signed the letter.
