Hollywood News and Gossip YOU CAN'T TELL A STAR BY HIS APPEARANCE
Autograph Hunters Have Forced Movie Players Into Dis
 guses From Wigs and Dark Glasses to Complete Costumes

Hollywood - Autograph hunters have sent the movie stars into hid- ing-behind an assortment Of dis- guiseS.
 Tho stars have even had to leave at home their chauffeurs and block long limousineS, because celebrity. staikers have learned to identify oil such elegant equipages on the streets, Thus, whenever she is in hurry, Kay Francis goes about in Q dusty and rather battered little car of popular make, and doesn't want to be stopped for autographs,
 Claudette Colbert has taken to driving herself in 0 small sedan on shopping expeditions. Also, she wears Q long tweed coat, dark glasses ,and Q soft hat pulled low over her eyes. Clark Gable usually gets about in on open roadster, also of modest make. And he wears dark glasses.
 Warren William and Katharine Hepburn have only recently aban- doncd their conspicuous big cars Now they drive station wagons which, at Q glance, may be mis- taken for delivery cars.
 
 Eyes Under Cover
 Dark glasses make rather ob. vlous disguise, but Q no less effective one, since hundreds of nonentities also wear them about town, purely for comfort. Dick Powell belongs tc the goggle brigade.
 Jean Harlow took Q dark wig and glasses to escape detection while she was making personal appearances in Chicago. 
 Mistaken for GarbO
 Carole Lombard had 0 disguise backflre on her the other day when she ventured into downtown Los Angeles to do some shopping. She wore tailored tweeds and dark glasses and scarcely had left her car when somebody yelled: There's Greta 0arbo!"
 Immediately she was surround ed by a gawking throng, and couldn't move until she removed the goggles and proved she wasn't the elusive SWede. Oddly enough because she had her hair combed straight back, and because the crowd was expecting to see Garbo nobody recognized her as Miss Lombard.
 Acting on Stage
 Some of the stars are more in- genious about dodging admirers RoSalind Russell made herself ur as an old woman and attended e preview. Tn gray wig and shawl she moved around in the crowd and wasn't noticed, except by a police man, who thought she didn't belong there.
 Charles Butterworth employs e simple device. Fans have never seen him smile on the screen, So in public places he goes about sereneiy wearing a fixed grin Looks like a different person. For premieres, Ginger Rogers sometimes effects Q black wig, cut in Dutch bob style. It always works. Ann Harding wears a dark wig during her shopping excur- sions. Bette Davis just arranges her own hair differently. Al Jol- son started east recently ali decked out in a set of George Bernard Shaw whiskers, but that was mostly a gag.
