HOLLYWOOD Years as Studio Police Chief, E. J. Donnelly Hasn't Made Arrest
By PAUL HARRISON Times Special Writer
HOLLYWOOD, NOV. 26.—THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING pretty smoothly in the law enforcement business along Gower St., and in 22
years as chief of police on the R.K. even made an arrest. But that's a tribute to the 75-ye that excitement has been lacking. S

ar-old chief and not an admission tudio cops have a much busier life
than city police because they deal with temperamental people and constantly must guard celebrities , against racketeers and pests. Mr, - Donnelly knows all the tricks and all the answers. He says that nobody—not one single gate-crasher — ever has: walked past him. There was one who entered by stowing away in a huge hamper of laundry, but that was the laundryman’s small son. About the maddest he ever got, he reckons, was the time OneEyed Connelly showed up at the gate with a wily story, was turned | away, and then telephoned an R. K. O. executive and got an official pass.
» ” » EXCITABLE FORGETFUL stars frequently call Chief Donnelly with reports that their dressing rooms have been rified or their pockets picked. They've always been mistaken, so far. He told about one screen queen who got into a dither over a miss= ing Spanish shawl, quite valuable. Mr. Donnelly went back to his office and telephoned a couple of the star's favorite night clubs. Yes, said one of them, Miss So-and-so had left the shawl there early that morning. When an actor declares a watch or money has been stolen, the chief goes to the wardrobe department and looks through the costume last worn by the player. The

article almost always is in one of the pockets. 3 ” » ONLY SERIOUS theft ever committed was about. three years ago when a machine gun disappeared from a gangsterpicture set, Actually, the weapon was useless for lethal ammunition, but no trace ever has been found of it in spite of investiga= tions by outside authorities. An ordinary city cop would have a tough time on studio duty. He'd probably turn in a riot call the first time he heard the commotion of a story conference; or with drawn gun he might charge into the sound lab only to find technicians dubbing the soundtrack of a woman shrieking for help. And he'd certainly infuriate many a bigwig and famous character actor by holding ’em at the gate for identification. Chief Donnelly says that so far as he knows there’s no truth to any of the stories, favorites of press agents, about gatemen who fail to recognize stars. ” n ” THE STOCKY, white-haired, kéen-eyed Mr. Donnelly was a
prospector and quartz miner until |
he was 53. Had a wife and home in Los Angeles and finally, at her insistence, tried to find a job in town. Hired for a few days to guard some jewels being used in a picture, he was invited to join the police force. Aid since the
.other three cops were not con-
sidered entirely reliable in the matter of sobriety, Mr. Donnelly | was made chief right at the start. There are 23 men. on his force

HIGHER TEST (more volatile) GASOLINE That's a perfect. description of Phillips 66 Poly Gas.
During the coming winter months,
you can confidently expect : : : based on past experience. .. that the Volatility Number (high test rating) of this amazing motor fuel will be 50 per cent higher than the average Volatility Number of premium price gasolines. Think of it! Most motor fuels, including those which cost 2¢ extra per gallon, will not come within hailing distance of the volatility given by Phillips 66 Poly Gas, which sells at regular price. 1f you wonder how

The ballet will appear under the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’'s auspices in four performances, Friday evening, Saturday matinee and even and a Sunjday matinee at 2:30 p. m, (Indian{apolis Time). | New works to be seen are “The [New Yorker,” described as a ‘“diforamic view of New York's cafe so|ciety, danced to the music of George Gershwin"; “Vienna—I1814/’ a Massine EAD to Weber's] music, and three revivals:

Phillips can afford to be so generous with high test quality, remember that
Phillips is the WORLD'S LARGEST Pro- |
DUCER of natural high test gasoline.
Find out for yourself how this extra high test gasoline gives extra fast starting, even after your car has been | standing all night in the cold: Note | the faster warm-up. Feel the improve-
ment in power and pick-up. And don’t |
forget, you get more mileage, because you save the gasoline usually wasted
by excessive use of the choke with
low test motor fuel.
~ Tonight, get a trial tankful of extra high test Phillips 66 Poly Gas, without | paying a penny extra. Then tomorrow; | you can touch the button and START |
everytime, no matter how cold the day.
