Page NEVADA STATE JOURNAL, RENO. NEVADA- 2. Romance For Tyrone Is Trantastic' Says Is Just a Pal TYRONNE POWER Too. Too TUEW YORK, Dec. Power, the soda- jerk's gift to the movies, came rolling in from Rio Thursday and immediately announced that all he knew about what happened between himself and Annabella down in Buenos Aires was what a bartender told him.

"All that stuff you have been hearing is fantastic," he said. "Simply fantastic. Now, isn't it, really? You newspaper fellows romanced it all up." Juit Coincidence Power, who came in from Rio on the liner Southern Prince Thursday morning, said that it was purely coincidental that the one-named French actress with the twin-motor chassis, happened to be in Buenos Aires at the same time. While they were filming the picture, they were talking on the set one day and Annabella happened to mention that a cousin living in Argentina, he said. "She said she might be there in December," Power said.

"It happened I also had planned to be down there about that time, and I said we might meet. That's all. We're just friends. Isn't it fantastic?" A Bit Droll? It did seem a bit droll, and Power, nervously twisting the rim of a bright green hat he had acquired on the voyage, quickly went on to explain that Annabella hadn't even met him at the pier, although the South American press had "reported that we were mobbed by fans." He had an explanation for this, too, as follows: The newspapers down in South America belong to the "controlled press," and the reporters have nothing to write about except what the government out and a few tidbits of non-political gossip they pick up. One of these tidbits that could be safely described as non-political was the arrival of Power and his green hat, and the reporters seized on it and before you could say Suzanne bella's real name--they had "romanced up" the whole affair.

So 'Fantastic' "Down there," said Power, "the newspapermen and the newspapers fantastic. They print the most fantastic things. 'They had me married twice, and a widower and one of the newspapers said I had a child." Everyone agreed that was pretty fantastic, and Power then (explained that the first he knew of the word was his--caused by his and Annabella's chance meeting was when a bartender told him about it on the boat. "Are you going to marry her?" a reporter asked. "Oh, no," said Powei.

"That is, we are just good friends, you see. All the rest is simply fantastic." Aspirin Is High He said what he really wanted to be interviewed about was the way the bellhops in Rio de Janeiro charged him 25 milreis-- $1 25--for a package of aspirin tablets one night when he got a headache from reading a good book, but nobody seemed very interested in this, Po-ver went off to the Hotel Pierre, where, fantastic as it may seen, Annabella also was registered. They left on the sajne later in the day bound so they Hid, tor Hollywood. STOCKS FIRMER THURSDAY IN N.Y. MARKETS Closing Trading is Most Active in Many Days (Market Quotations on 9) NEW YORK.
