MOVIES ’Pfun HOLLYWOOD, Cal—From a membn■ of his own fan; h , is niece in 1':: t, Cecil B. DeMille yesterday receiv'd a resounding “no,” a word that Hollywood simply det -n’t use to the famous director. This unexpectel lese-majeste took place on the set and resulted in Agnes D'Mille walking out of the cast cf “Cleopatra,” her uncle’s latest spectacle for the Paramount studio. “A difference of artistic opinion.” was the way in which both DeMille and his talented niece described the lire ik. In plainer words, the two could not agree upon the interpretation of a dance to do which Miss DeMille had been brought all the way from London. D Mille’s concept ion of the number, as he outlined it a while back, was for a beautiful woman to do a sensuous dance upon the bock of a milk white bull l’p n w-’iat counts the director and his niece disagree I is clouded in mystery but it wa n thing personal. The y utiiful dan c r is returning to England in abiut 10 days. DeMille, whose adopted daughter, Katherine, turned h.wn a r d in 1 i picture and whose nic.-c ha- had the temerity to say him r ■ . is not offering any more jobs to relatives.

Or a brace of quail whistling up out of the brush. Th mules snorted, reared and hearted down the road as if they could make Mi souri by nightfall. A couple of minutifs later, Will managed to pull th'm up. The .-'haken up guests were in a state of jitters—all except Odd’s 82 y<- r old aunt. She smiled brightly and told Will she’d enjoyed his little juke.
