Errol Flynn Not Hit By a Spanish Bullet
Barcelona, Spain, April 5.—(U.P.) Errol Flynn, actor and adventurer, was located tonight—his six-foot, two-inch frame unmarked by a Spanish bullet as had been reported erroneously.
The Hollywood star arrived by automobile from Valencia and took off by plane for Paris where he probably will meet his wife, Lili Damita, who was excitedly planning to rush to his side from London "if he is hurt."
"I visited the Madrid front and operated a machine gun," Flynn said.
