NEW F|LM. STAR
DEF|ES TABOOS

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, Nov. Is
U.N.SO Hollywood is rather
used to arrivals of beautiful new
comers. It is not inclined to sit
up and take notice when a new"
conner tends to individuality.
But "once in a blue moon" a
beautiful woman comes along with
extreme individuality and by
sheer personality causes the screen
colony to stop, look and listen"
Such is the case of the flame
haired Kat tharine Hepburn,
wealthy in her own right, and a
stage success before she took Hol-
lywood by storm.
Hollywood has failed to awe
the talented Miss Hepburn. Its
traditions mean nothing to her.
She frankly warns Hollywood she
will not "be bluffed into behaving
like a seminary student
Her costume for casual visits
to her studio is a muchly worn
pair of blue overalls. She recently
had a new seat put on them and
was rather proud of the result.
She said:
81 intend to speak my mind
on highly sacred things when
and if / please, even though
movie traditions might be viO-
lated. I've acted natural all
my life and HOlIywOOd'S not
going to change me-"

appear before the county grand
jury, which will be asked to in
dict him for the first-degree MUIR
der of his step-grandmother.
That the youths mental make
up will be, the chief issue at his
trial became a virtually certain
prospect when DR.. James Whit
ney Hall, alienist retained by the

report on his observations.
DR.. Hall declared young Arnold
is suffering from "adolescent in.

know the difference between right

not allow him to drive her auto

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. IS
G.N.SO.-"I wanted to kill her

This was the only explanation
police could find today for the
motive which led Ira Stewart, S.,
to batter his 8-year-old daughter
to death with a milk bottle and
then end his own life by shearing
his wrists with a pairing knife.
The explanation was embodied
in a note found in Stewards room
when his body and that Of his
daughter were discovered.
Stewart had visited his es-
tranged wife and succeeded in
persuading her to "lend" the girl
to him for few hours. He took
his daughter to a motion picture
theater before bringing her to his
quarters, where the murder and
suicide were committed
A liquor bottle. nearl''- empty,
and a rope with a hangman's
