NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-"Burn It up
The Hollywood film colony Is a per
nicious influence. Scatter It: abolish
it-something ought to be done. Burn
1t up-I say"
Frank Mayo, screen and stage star
and a resident Of Hollywood as a
member Of the Universal Company,
made this statement here today.
"If I express myself bitterly. am
expressing what every self-respecting
actor in Hollywood feels" said Mayo.
1.-The best thing that could happen
to moving pictures would be to abol'
ish the Hollywood colony. am not
saying 1t is rampant with immortality
and degeneracy, for that's not true,
but 1t is a pernicious influence.
"One thing wrong Is that there are
no outside diversions. The result Is
every one Is bored to death. All you
hear is pictures, pictures, until you
are almost frantic.
Send culture to Hollywood-I'd
say to the managers, but I'm afraid
there's no use. You don't see more
than three or four moving picture
actors at the concerts we do get.

not be overburdened with brains, but

of the finest and most intellectual in
the colony is Mabel Normand. It's
shame her name should be men,

toned In connection with this Taylor
murder.
"why don't we actors, who have
respect for our art and ourselves
get together and demand cleanup
Of the undesirables? What good
would that do? You forget that
some OF the biggest stars in the
business are among the undesir'
ables. They have been raised 10
positions for which they are not
fitted. They receive enormous
salaries. They haven't the brains
or desire to improve themselves, and
they spend their money like
drunken sailors They are trying
always to buy new sensations
bored to death with Hollywood and
themselves. And their actions
bring opprobrium to every actor in
the business. They make us all
suffer. 1t isn't fair and 1, for one
resent IT,"
Adolph Zukor. head Of the Famous
Players, disappearing the sugges
ton to scatter the Hollywood colony
defended It.
There's no more immortality In
the Hollywood colony than in the
New York stock exchange" said the
film magnate.
Isolated cases Of scandal ir
Hollywood are magnified. That's
because the film folk are more IA
miliar to the public than any othei
class OF people. I suppose disgrace
full things happen IN Hollywood, but
they happen among men who are
members of the New York stock ex
change, and they. happen in other
groups. '.0I
Even II we were so inclined, Il
would be impossible to abolish the
Hollywood colony and scatter the
actors in other sections of the coun
try. In the first place, climatic con
ditions make 1t necessary to main
tain studios there. Our company
and other companies have millions
OF dollars invested there, and II
would mean enormous loss to move
the colony. Wherever we moved
