IT'S HARD to get the homemakers through the Zaring lobby since the installation of the new Lockweave carpet. It is the first of its kind in Indianapolis to have an inlaid design. Set into the chocolate brown background are figures in an Egyptian motif—fans, lotus blossoms and the sacred scarab By some strange process the carpet is not woven. If it is damaged the marred spot can be cut out and a fresh square inserted. Manager Eddie Zeyen ciaims you then couldn't tell the old from the new. u n
Short Takes: Both the Belmont and Talbott also have been re-
carpeted. Because of the street widening the Talbott is installing a new marquee. « + I¥ is a spread-out U-type in ivory and sky blue with circular blue, gold and red neon lights, an innovation in neighborhood theater styling. With the nights turning hot and cold like running

The Oriental gang of 17 had an outing at Longacre Thursday. : Yesterday the 11 employees of the Strand visited Indian Lake. . At the Cantor Theaters’ Northern Beach party Wednesday, the Rivoli ball team swamped the Emerson-Esquire ten, . Jack Lewis, Esquire assistant manager, won the men’s swim meet and Rovina Smith, relief cashier at the Rivoli, captured the women's title. Morris Cantor and Ruth Baker, Esquire cashier, were victors in the sprints. . . . Robert (Bones) McAndrews, Rivoli assistant manager, was leading ‘the men's race when he stumbled.

By PAUL HARRISON HOLLYWOOD, July 20—When Orson Welles came here a year ago, he felt that he was merely fulfilling his destiny. For at least a decade it had been assumed both by the prodigy and his admirers that eventually he would do something about the movies. Knowing absolutely nothing about picture making, he admitted a few misgivings at first. But he soon lost them under the tutelage of some of the town's finest technicians. Mr. Welles is a respectful and intelligent listener, and he won the regard of cutters, cameramen and designers by going directly to them for his information. But, if he was pleased by the attitude of craftsmen, he was dismayed by the antagonism of Hollywood in general. People who know him agree that Mr. Welles has a completely charming personality. And he is by no means the insufferable egoist whom you could hit by swinging a dead cat anywhere west of Vine St. ? Yet he has been jibed, insulted, slandered and libeled ever since he came here. The main reason that Hollywood has resented him is that he not only was able to get. but also dared to assume, more authority than anybody out here ever had except Charlie Chaplin, \ Every studio approached him with an offer to write or direct or act. Casually Mr. Welles refused, explaining that he expected to do all three and to be a producer besides. That sounded pretty nervy, and Hollywood seemed to take personal offense when George Schaefer of RKO finally made such an agreement with him. Hollywood assumed that he must be a presumptuous upstart and decided that his elegant whiskers—grown for his stage role in “Five Kings’ and retainea for his part in the intended filming of “Heart of Darkness’—were an outrageous affection. Many stories, both funny and malicious, were Invented about him. Every time he delayed production or changed his plans, the news was hailed as proof of incompetence. Many a Hollywoodsman has dabbled around for a year in highly paid idleness without arousing even
mild comment. But Mr. Welles has not been idle, nor has he been paid one dime by RKO up to this time, He has written, directed and taken part in his radio program. He has written and illustrated another of his texts on Shakespearean drama and has made recordings to accompany it. He has held his Mercury Theater company together, paying stockholders a dividend out of his own pocket during the idle year. He organized United Productions for a West Coast tour this fall. He has delivered numerous lectures. And besides making all sorts of production plans and tests, he has written three movie scripts. That latter job os more than most topnotch writers can do in 12 months. It may not be true that Orson Welles came into the world with a beard, or that the first words he uttered were “I am a genius.” But almost from the time he was born in Kenosha, Wis.,, on May 16, 1915, he has been a character. He began to make up for wasted years of fatherhood by starting smoking when he was 5 and making his first stage appearance at 7. Since the movies weren't articulate duting his childhood, he made up for it by attending a private school where he lectured his classmates on art, wrote music reviews for a newspaper,-and staged and starred in a group of Shakespeare plays. His size kept pace with his precocity. At 16 Mr. Welles was big and mature enough to pass for 25 and to appear as guest star at Dublin's famous Gate and Abbey Theaters. His subsequent adventures included world-wide travel and dramatic triumphs, climaxed by his panic-creating broadcast of a Martian invasion. Today he is known to his friends as Monstro, although they use it as if they meant Maestro. At his rented house, neighboring the Shirley Temple estate, he indulges a monkish inclination by padding around barefoot ‘and wearing a loose robe which is about two sizes smaller than a menagerie tent. Sometimes he smokes 85-cent cigars. six pipes, all with their stems jammed into his breast pocket.
But just now he's carrying He
loves steak and has choice cut air-expressed from New York, He rarely touches liquor and seems never to be ill, or even tired after writing for 24 hours at a stretch. Sometimes he has three secretaries at once, all frantically taking and typing dictation. All his woman servants are called “Ingrid,” and all his’ male employees, « “Alfalfa Bill.” 2 Among the numerous and derisive critics of the 25-year-old genius are some who still declare, as if reading mint leaves in the bottom of a julep cup, that, Little Orson Annie never will complete a film. The hewest gag about him is that he has doubled his schedule —instead of NOT making three pictures, he will NOT make six. But the fact is that any day, now, the cameras will hegin to turn on “Citizen Kane.” Mr. Welles is screen playwright, producer, director and star. His first picture was to have been Joseph Conrad's “Heart of Darkness” But the European situation and Hollywood's financial panic came along, and Mr. Welles wouldn't shave the million-dollar budget. So that was postponed, and he worked furiously at scripting “The Smiler With a Knife.” It would have been the first flicker about Fifth Column activities and should have made a lot of money. Only trouble was Mr. Welles wrote it for Carole Lombard. She wasn’t available and he wouldn't consider anyone else. Now that he’s about to begin filming “Citizen Kane,” the jeers are subsiding. A quiet minority in Hollywood—a few players, a few waiters, and practically all the better directors such as Frank Capra. and Garson Kanin—are praying that the youngster will turn out a gmash hit. His only outspoken rooter is George Schaefer, the man who signed him. Said Mr. Schaefer: “We have been spending a hundred million dollars a year in Hollywood to prove that many producers, directors, writers and actors are lousy. I don't mind spending $500,000 to prove that Orson Welles is good.”
