Heather Sears. who played
in this picture with Miss
Signoret, had prepared me to
expect someone of warmth
and charm. so when I ar
rived in Paris I was quite
disappointed to be told Miss
Signoret was with her hus-
band, Yves Montana, on the
Riviera at st. Paul de Venice.
When an invitation was
extended me to visit them. I
quickly accepted. 1t is only a
couple of hours from Paris
by plane. Flying down, I
thought of the night the
studio previewed Room at

director had exclaimed Of
Simone, This woman is so
voluptuous, she is liable to
bring back curves"
Later I repeated this to
Miss Signoret, and she smiled
appreciatively.
II think I'm too fat, but
I'm lazy. Almost all actresses
are lazy. We are in the the
alter doing what we enjoy.
Acting is not work. so we are
spoiled for doing things that
do not amuse us such as los
ing weight. I'm probably
wrong" Miss Signoret COM
mented, 'but I do not diet.

Mr.. Smith was asked had
there been some changes
made when he returned to
the White House in 1899.
"Had there!" he said. THE

coats, everyone called every
