He Requires All He's Got on
Him to Prove He's

By NEA SerVice

DH NEh OtFUttt
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. %. - II
there's anything screen celebrities
like better than wangling two
months vacation to Europe from
their hard-boiled studio executives,
it's coming back with one or two
prize stories about their experiences
across the Atlantic.
They're the kind of adventures
that strike the movie favOriteS
rather personally, although the
victims seem to relish the telling Of
incidents about themselves as much
as their listeners enjoy hearing
them.
Ramon Novarro, for instance tells
one about himself, when he took his
last trip to Europe incognito. That
is. he went under his more UNI
familiar family name Of Samienego
and managed to go everywhere
without attracting attention until
he attended a theater in Madrid.
ITS Our Business"
AS he left the theatere two de-
tectives stopped him and for a mo-
ment Novarro thought he was in
for serious trouble.
"Are you not Ramon Novarro?"
they inquired. The actor admitted
he was and asked how they guessed.
cts our business to know such
things" was the reply. 1--WE won't
tell any one and spoil your visit,
but we have to keep track OF you
at headquarters"
While attending party given
by a writer in Paris, Ernst Lubitsch
was converSing with his host in
German. A few minutes later an
American guest, not knowing that
the director also spoke English,
asked the host who the funny little
Dutchman was.
so. for the rest of the evening,
I had to speak German so as not
to disclose the fact that I under
stood him and thus embarraSS him,
says Lu5itsch.
One on HerShOlt
On his trip to Europe last year,
Jean Hersholt wired ahead to en-
gage hotel rooms in England. When
he arrived at the hotel he was in
formed that the place was full ex-
cept for rooms engaged by Jean
HerShOlt.
st am he" declared Jean.
"Oh, I say!" demonstrated the
clerk. "You cawn't have me on like
that. I've seen Hersholt in pictures
many times. He's an old fat bloke."
It required all Jeans identified
lions to get the rooms.

directly over the entrance, is a
huge, chestnut table, between the
legs of which all who enter must

The figures in front are backed
up by large, loaded glass window.
Two SubrOOms Within
There are two subrooms within,
one of which contains the bar, and
the other is planned to Ne haven
for patrons interested in sea foods,
steaks or chops. The second room
ceiling is decorated in such way
as to give the effect of being out
doors, the lighting and color COM
bining to cause the upper part of
the room to fade into darkness.
Along the upper walls of the bar
room, will be placed several large
mural decorations, produced by j.
Scott Williams, muralist at the new
Indiana State Library.
Williams has taken as his theme
for the murals, the figures and &C
equations Of the peasant type. One
will see the discussion of politics in
the little continental town on one
wall, and Rip Van Wrinkle sketch
on the other. The incident themes
are to be interspersed with decora-
tive scenes, using the diamond,
club, heart, and spade card motifs
for the purpose of getting color into
the background.
Uses Same Decoration
Williams has used this same type
of decoration for the main ballroom
of the Waldorf -AStoria in New
York He has also designed murals
for the University of Illinois library,
the Park Central hotel, and Arthur
Hammerstein's theater in New York.
Tie decoration of the rooms is
being done by Henry Behrens.

the place are by Pierre and Wright,
