C.MUUili SAYS ni HBANK 1XXIHS AT IT WRONG sions in connection with the. conventions of the State (sections of New York Because Another Book Is Ready AUTHORTAKES UP WORK AT THE INN Doesn't Know When Next Child Will Be Ready; Takes It Easy BV A. K. N. IlITCHISOV "Why am I here? Because I have a Jtook to write, because 1 had lo get away from New York, where my last hook was just com-insr off the press and 1 cannot stand to sec bok published that I wrote a year ago.
How long am golnp to stay? Uow do 1 know, I never know how long I shall be anywhere. I just move wlmii the spirit moves me, as you mieht tay." Not all In one breath, but simply, naturally and nfter a little questioning, cnnic the above remarks-from Kaiinlo Hurst. Need 0110 tell who Fannie Hurst is? Surelv It is superfluous, but here Is a brief Who's Who of the distinguished visitor at Grove Park inn, where sho arrived yesterday. Kannle Hurst is an author and a playwright, ns well known to the world perhaps as any contemporary writer, or writers who came before her. Her last book just off the press is "Appassion-ata" and previous to that was her famous "-Mannequin," the K.O.OSt) Liberty' Magazine prize story, recently shown hero in motion pictures.
A-ftv of her other works aro "Just Around the "livery Soul Hath Its "Gaslight "Star and There, lhat should servo lo refresh tho memories of any who inijrht nae failed to recognize the famous writer. Later we shall give another glimpse into her biography. "MUs Hurst" Accompanying Miss Hurst Is her husband, Jacques Danlelson, distinguished pianist. But do you call her Miss Hurst, sonienno asks. Wo were not certain of that ourselves yesterday in interviewing her.
"In asking for you at tho desk just now, I did not know whether to ask for Miss Hurst or Mrs. JJan-lelson. said, Miss Hurst, was that right?" was the question put to her. "As you please." Miss Hurst smiled. "Usually I am called Miss Hurst, njirl I suppose I prefer it.
It is strange, you know, but it is my husband which objects most strenuously. "What, to your being called Miss Hurst?" "Oh, no. to the Mrs. Pantelson. I don't know whether It Is a or otherwise, and I never havo questioned him about It.
After all, it is a question of personal opinion, whether or not a woman chooses to take her husband's name or keep her own." For the enlightenment of those who may not know of this phase of Miss Hurst's private life, it may be said here that the renowned writer created quite a stir at the time of her marriage to Mr. Dan-lolson, when she announced her plan of living In separate apartments with occasional breakfasts dinners, theatre engagement ami so on with her husband in much tho same manner one telephones ami makes a "date" with friends. But that Is past history. Grnelou There Is nothing in the manner of Miss Hurst or in her conversation Oi.t would lead one to believe she Is famous. Gracious, un affected and absolutely without any signs of egotism.
In tho Interview, for Instance, It was with difficulty that tho reporter kept from being Interviewed by Miss Hurst. A little trick phe has of turning tho tables and trying to get you to talk about yourself In-stoad of giving any information about herself. "How did I happen to come here? I had lo get away from New York, my bonk was helng published, and to see book which I'vo written a year ago coming off the press is unbearable to me. We must get away, I told my husband, but here, I did not know. Wo look If tt lo pamphlet nnd thero I saw Tryon (Norlh Carolina).
