MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1933 FIST FIGHT OVER MOVIE ACTRESS Arno, the Cartoonist, Knocked Out By Drexle Biddle Steel in Hollywood Club SALLY O'NEILL DENIES PART IN FRACAS HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 6 AP-Peter Arno, New York cartoonist, was knocked out in an exchange of fisticuffs in the fashionable Embassy Club early today. The argument allegedly was with Drexel Biddle Steele, actor and member of a prominent Philadelphia family, but Steel said the knockout blow was struck by his business manager, Gordou Butler. Sally O'Neill, film actress who accompanied Arno to the club and was reported to be the unwitting cause of the fight, was said by some witnesses to have ended the altercation by rapping Steel over the head with a chair. Miss O'Neill, however, denied she had any part in the fight.

Steel said Arno apparently had taken exception to his speaking to Miss O'Neill as he passed Arno's table. Later, Steel said, Arno came over to his table and made "a pass at me." Steel Astonished "My astonishment about the whole affair was increased because of the fact that I have known Mr. Arno for all of ten years," said the actor. "The only provocation that I gave him whatsoever was to call him by his own of Curtis, for his name is Arno Peters, and I can't imsgine that as the reason. I can't believe that he objected to my speaking to Miss O'Neill since that was only common courtesy." Among those who witnessed the altercation were Joan Jrawford and Franchot Tone, both screen players: Clark Gable, film actor, and Mrs.

Gable and Doris Duke, heiress to a tobacco fortune. Miss O'Neill said: "What happened was this: Mr. Arno and I were in the Embassy and when he left the table for a moment I noticed that he was engaged in conversation with another man, and that there seemed to be a little argument between them. Mr. Arno was irritated.

I prevailed on him to sit down at the table and distracted his attention from the trouble, whatever it was. I then suggested that he play a piece on the piano, and this he did with the orchestra, and while he was 'doing this Mr. Steel, or whatever his name is, for I know him, passed by my and said something about it being very nice of me to act the way I did about the little spat. The Chair ftory "Mr. Arno observed the man at my table, and asked me what he said.

He then went over to Steel's table and Mr. Arno struck at him suddenly." Miss O'Xeill said Steel stood over Arno, the latter was knocked down, with a chair and that she rushed in to prevent any further hostilities. "That probably explains the report about me grabbing a chair and hitting Steel, which is utterly foolish," said the actress. Arno, who two years ago in Reno engaged in a fight with Cornelius Vanderbilt, was unavailable for a statement. JOHNSON'S MOTHER IN WASHINGTON MONITOR-INDEX AND DEMOCRAT.

SUE: Not a bit. I smoked Camels all the way, and I never felt better! I haven't worried about nerves since I took your advice and changed to Camels.
