No doubt almost as long a list Of undi-

This article has come to the end of its
allotted space without having more than
touched on the brighter and more whole
some phases OF Hollywood life, which do
exist abundantly
Making of pictures is called an indus
try" in Hollywood and It Is so. The cost
of many feature productions is from So. 900
to $4,000 a camera day 1t takes at least
five camera weeks to complete the picture.
making the total cost sometimes more than
100000. The camera cannot be fooled
very much. II an actor has been out all
night rioting, drinking or gambling, the
camera sees it. He cannot go on. Unless
scenes can be "shot' not recurring that
actors presence the whole production IA
held up. Result, loss OF between $4,000
and $4,000. II the picture has progressed
so far that to call everything off would be
rutnous, the offending actor IS retained.
but unless he reforms that is his last MIC
ture for this producer. He acquires n rep
uation for unreliability, and nobody wants
him.
In girl Of the pictures, youth, vivacity,
ireshness-they must be real, not coun-
terreit--are everything. If they are all she
has to give, If she does not develop dramati-
cally, the length of her screen life Ia
only about five years. They are precious
years Each day is thing to be treasured
and guarded. To the camera she must look
the same every day of the weeks and even
months that pass before picture is fin
ished. She cannot appear "on the lot"
with haggard face, with circles under
the smoothness of her skin All this is in
tolerahle. The actors and actresses know
ii as we'll as the producers and directors
1t follows then--and is a fact that the
typical actor and actress, even IL predis-
posed toward giddiness, is during the long,
hard days when picture is being made.
model of behavior. The letdown, IL Il
comes, is in the interval between pictures.
But even in these vacations the players
have to remember that when the next en-
gagement begins they must look their
best So, to degree, good conduct is
self-enforced in Hollywood
This is especially true Of actors Of

around to the movie town will he not re-
member them.
The divorce register Of Hollywood Is
formidably long, but the divorce center or
the United States, as a certain author
pointed out, Is in the Middle West, not
California. At the risk Of offending stage
people 1t must be said that they seem to
be moro generally tolerant OF divorce than
others. That is the case among the motion
picture people. The average view is that
divorce is an evil but not necessarily a
stigma.
If two persons can't get along together
they are not criticized for the act of sepa-
ration. All depends on the circumstances
Divorce rarely is questioned in Hollywood
except when one or the other of the per-
SONS involved is believed to have been
badly treated The most notable example
Of players who have been divorced and re-
married are Douglas Fairbanks and Mary
Pickford In Hollywood one hears no
breath Of scandal concerning them. They
had their reasons for doing what they did;
they are deeply in love with each other,
they behave themselves and that ends It.
This is the Hollywood view.
One wonders to what extent Hollywood
realizes how strange its notions seem to
the good church people" or to small town

the audiences in motion picture theaters.

seem to be exceptional in Hollywood, as
elsewhere.
a certain director who has had a sue
cession OF women friends devoted to him
Is notorious because of that fact and is
avoided by some Of his former friends.
IN the better circles of moviedom he does
not show his face On the other hand, an
actor and an actress who make no secret
OF being more than friends are received
socially because they are rated as ION the
level" They are introduced at parties
by their individual names, and no ques-
tons are asked. Liberal as may seem the
social code Of community which regards
the other fellows private affairs as strict
ly his own business, 1t does not counte-
nance disloyalty in the common law re-
lation.
A woman succeeded In driving out OF
Hollywood man who had cast aside a
friend Of hers. A baby came to another
pair, who were married after one of them
had secured necessary divorce. The
mother, who had not been a Puritan, not
only gave up drinking and profanity, but
began giving humorous curtain lectures to
her friends who came to the house She
told them she was not going to have her
baby associating with wild women" With
the help Of the baby. she bettered the
standards Of propriety throughout her
social circle.
Even those who accuse Hollywood OF
being Roaring Camp" must admit that
1t has its little 'Lucks" as well as its
NCals y ~ rrl,o Al
