conspicuous members of the livCiirr set.
And strangely enough many of the

FOR him, and that l know his crowd
and that I'm not sorry for them. Neither
Fatty nor his crowd represents the best
that Is going on here. If there IS to
be a cleanup it ought to go all along
the line. About 10 per cent of the
people in the Hollywood colony do most
