HOLLYWOOD, Jan. %
1t looks as if Man-from- Mars
Orson Welles has struck again.
this time spreading panic among
some of the .jumpy-nerved citi-
zens Of Hollywood.
The movie colony might have
suspected tl.st the past two years
were an ominously quiet period
in the normally eventful life of
Orson Welles, even with all the
pro-and-controversy which have
buzzed around him and his long.
delayed picture, Citizen Kane.
But nobody knew the nature or
extent of the excitement that
was brewing.
It may net sound exactly mo-
mentous when it is explained
that a publisher named William
Randolph Hearst seems to have
taken q notion that young Wei
-es has been impersonating him
in movie.
But there's more to it than
that. Plenty. 1t may mean Or.
son Welles' career.
