GENE TUNNEY
SHUNS PUBLICITY
(United Press Association—By Electric Te legr aph—Copyright).
PARTS, Feb. 17
The more Gene Tunney shrinks, from publicity the more he receives. Tunnay and his wife reached Cannes on Friday. Their arrival was unheralded, but the press, and cinema photographers tumid up and tried a picture of Tunney entering his hotel. Tunney was furious and hustled them out. Next morning he was walking the promenade when a photographer tried to obtain a hurried snapshot. Tunney warded off the photographer who persisted, with a result that Tunney delivered a right handed punch which felled him lite a stone.
The <r Daily Express” in the editorial news: “This breakdown from a philosopher and a man of letters and sudden reversion to the primitive, comes as a shock. Press agents and photographers made Tunney’s fame and to knock out one of the men who helped him to advance from obscurity,' makes one wonder whether Tunney, like the unfortunate photographer, is not suffering from a swelled head.”
