4 i Simon, who hit Washington
today in Girls Dormitory" Gene
Markey says she is the greatest
screen find since Fred Astaire."
We were lunching yesterday with
Mr.. Markey in the Cafe de la PaiX
on the Fox lot when, suddenly, lunch
more or less fell to pieces. Into the
room walked little girl no taller than
Janet Gaynor with frizzled lightish
hair hanging loosely around the neck
q blue sailor suit, a small turned-up
nose and pair of eyes that sparkled
from one end of the room to the
other. In an instant, the entire
populace had put down it's knives and
works, opened its mouth and stared
such stare that any one but movie
star would have run out of there like
b rabbit.
But not Mile. Simon. In her young,
eager, elfin way ("she is sometimes
called wisplike Janet Gaynor," said
Mr.. Markey) she marched boldly to
. table In the center of the room
and sat down next to a Mr.. Ralph
Blum.
Mile. Simon not only galvanized
that lunch room. but she has gal
vanized the Goth Century-Fox lot
and Hollywood besides. Brought over
here almost year ago from France
where she starred in series of French
Aims, she was taught English, the
American style of acting and other
things until it seemed time to plunk
her upon the world. Now she has
bloomed with such bloom as only
youth and exuberance can give.
Shy Despite Her Success.
When she came over to the table
to say hello to Mr.. Markey and his
guests she was reasonably shy, but
Also evidenced a courage and cock
eIredness that comes with success in
pictures. She talked with an accent,
smiled the smile of prosperity and
said lot of nice things that indicate
fhe is still young in the business.
She wasn't in the lunch room long
but during that time life seemed to
have popped up from all corners, old
men had grown young and some of
the old gals had wistfully reached
into their purses to get look at their
fading cheeks and shiny noses.
Mr.. Markey is one of the ever-in-
treasing group of writer's who has
turned producer. He has pitched his
tent at Twentieth Century-Fox, within
q stones throw of the elegant quar-
ters that once belonged to Jesse
Lasky, and he intends to write and
be a producer all at the same time.
He is great Hollywood booster,
inasmuch as he believes that "the
Aims present one of the greatest me-
diums ever devised for story telling"
and better than writing for the movies,
he says, is producing, because in that
way you are able to follow your story
from start to finish and not see it
torn to shreds before it appears on
the screen"
Married to Joan Bennett, at present
working with Cary Grant in new
aim at Paramount and hence not able
10 wander over for lunch, Markey Is
one of the most popular people IN

END The FEEL.PunK,
DRAG.FOOT DAYS

Dull headaches, poor appetite, Sleep
lessness are warning signs. You feel
low-hate to work. These symptoms
may point to constipation due to "low-
bulk" meals.
Why throw these days out Of your
life-particularly when regular habits
make you feel so good. Get bulk" by
eating a delicious cereal: Kellogg s
ALL-BRAN.
There's nothing experimental about
ALL-BRAN. Millions of people have
used 1t successfully. Scientific tests
prove it is safe and effective. Within
the body, it absorbs moisture, forms
a soft mass, gently cleanses the sys-
tenn. ALL-BRAN is guaranteed. Try
it a week. If not satisfactory, your
money will be refunded by the Kel-
logg Company.
Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily.
Stubborn cases may require ALL
BRAN oftener. Serve as a cereal, or
cook into delicious recipes.
What an improvement over pills
and drugs. ALL-BRAN is Q food
you buy it at the grocery store.
