Anita Has
RapidRise
to Fame
Youthful Beauty in lust
Like Heaven Causes
Furore.

A NITA LOUISE, who has the
IA featured role in Tiffany's Just
Like Heaven" was born in New York
City. Her parents and grandpar-
ents were born in Alsace-Lorraine
and Anita speaks German and
French perfectly
When Anita was nothing more
than a baby she showed an aptitude
for stage work and when she was
6 years old she was on the stage
in New York. She has had many
stage roles and most recently she
has been seen with Walter Hamp-
den, the Actors Guild and the
Greenwich Village Players.
Three years ago, this young screen
star went to Hollywood and the
first picture she made was 1.-THE
Music Master" for Fox. She played
in Wonder of Women" THE Flor
adora Girl'' and What a Man"
this last season and when Phil
Goldstone, Tiffany studio executive,
was casting for the role of Mimi"
in Just Like Heaven" he discov-
cred that of the numerous young
leading ladies, who made screen
tests. Anita, who was the youngest
OF them all, filmed best and. was
closest to ideal for the part.
Anita Louise is very young, now
being at the age when most girls
are fussing over parties and new
boy friends, but Anita is too busy
keeping up her piano lessons and
learning to fence, play tennis, golf,
swim and ride. Most Of AnitaS day
is taken up with various instructors
and when she is not busy learning
to do something, she is at the studio
acting in new pictures.
Anita is an accomplished pianist.
She loves to play, but better than
that she likes fencing. Fencing is a
great sport and, according to this
young SportSwoman, it lends her
poise and grace. While Anita was
in Europe she studied fencing in
France and she has kept up her in
Struction in America. During her
two tours of Europe, Anita studied
dancing, perfected her use of French
and German and found time to act
in a picture, The Life of Franz
Shubert."
Anita is a busy youngster. but to
let you in on a secret and one of
Hollywood's budding romances, she
isn't too busy to have a boy friend
and Anita is more than frequently
seen with Philippe de Lacy. Anita
and Philippe are constantly going
to singing lessons together, or TAX
ing a dancing lesson. or swimming
or riding or fencing together.
This lovely new star has a five
year contract with Tiffany and even
after that has been fulfilled she will
still be younger than the average
young leading lady. The beautiful
blue-eyed, golden-haired Anita has
a long, successful career ahead of
her, Mr.. GoldStone says. and she is
one of the child actresses who will
make good, now that she is little
bit grown-up.

be mere soon.
Have been asked to tell you the
following about Brown:
The personal appearances which
Joe E. Brown, famous comedian of
the stage and of the screen. will
make at the Indiana during the
week beginning next Friday, will be
that stars first official return visit
to the boards since he left them two
and a half years ago for fling in
the films.
The occasion should, therefore, be
something in the nature of a treat
for the actor as well as the audi
ences, if any reliance can be placed
on that old saw to the effect that
absence makes the heart grow
fonder."
Way back in January, 1928, Brown
took leave of the footlightS before
which he had danced and clowned
his way to fame. It was merely a
step-a step of only 5000 n1iles-to
Hollywood and the picture studios.
He wisely accepted work in several
silent films Immediately after he
arrived in the cinema center. thus
becoming accustomed to the, de-
mands of the camera. e7
This preliminary practice appar-
emily gave him an advantage when
the opportunities of the talking pic
ture era began to appear on the
scene, for he quickly outstripped
numerous would-be rivals.
During the past year, this zany of
the mammoth mouth has clinched
a definite place of prominence for
himself on the screen as a result of
his amusing antics in ION With the
Show" Sally" Hold Everything"
and other productions. His tap
dancing, his ludicrous boxing efforts,
his acrobatic Slapstick work and his
sure comedy sense have been factors
in his favor.
When he was only 9 years old,
Brown became one of the Five Fa-
nous AShtonS, team of circus per-
formers. Four years later-Still a
youngster-ha went on the vaude-
vile stage as the latter half of the
team Of Provost and Brown. Vaude-
vile held him in its ranks for a
considerable period of time, dur
ing which time his experience be-
came more varied and his mouth
more cavernous. The legitimate
stage finally claimed him, and he
moved upward through such sue
cesses as Listen Lester" Jim Jam
Jems," Greenwich village Follies,"
"Betty Lee" Captain Jinks'' and
Twinkle, Twinkle"
Those days are gone but not for
gotten. BY way of a vacation from
film work, Brown is coming to In
dianapolis to enjoy himself by per-
sonally entertaining audiences as
he formerly did, instead of merely
sending his talking shadow. From
this city, he probably will 90 to

We fear that our pilot. Captain Ansell, started tson4ething this morning when he introduced us to Ye Ed and gave us all this rope, Tor space, for writing. However, we are taking advantage of his mis- take. You know, or at least you should know, that Captain AnSell is not such a bad egg. Someday we |are going to devote our brain to writing a great many words about him, but we won't tell his wife.
 This is our first visit to your city. We like it. You have lots of good scenery, something we are go- ing to tell the postcard industry about, and your fish are delicious as our pilot proved this morning by bringing one, the size of a young whale, aboard as the compliments of the San Juan Fish Company.
 "As we can't possibly look you all up and introduce ourselves. we want you all to come down to the dock and meet us. Visitors are welcome aboard either of the ships between the hours of 100 and 4:30 pm. daily. Just walk aboard and look around, and if there are any ques- tions you would like answered ask one of the fellows in a white hat, they'll be glad to tell you all about the Navy.
 This opportunity to see a part of your Navy in real life will come to you seldom and we know each one of the officers and bluejackets will do his part to instruct and guide you about the ships.
 If the present schedule holds, both ships will be along side the dock the remain der of our stay in this port"
