But she is reminded that dramatic abil
ity is not necessary, or at least can be
speedily developed, for she reads of big
town beauty contest guaranteeing the win
ner a five weeks engagement at Hollywood
at $500 week. To be fair to the press
agents and the interviewers, the best Of
them also tell the other side-the hard
work, the sacrifice, the step by step climb
whereby the finest actresses of the films,
like those Of the stage, have reached the
height.
But to the typical screen struck girl, the
spoiled darling of the small town, this
means little. She has been told of her
beauty so often that she believes it, and
probably it is true-in bonneville. She
has yet to learn Of facts like this:
Nine delectabe women pose successfully
before a motion picture camera, under the
pitiless glare of mercury yapor lights. To
the unframed eye-yes, and to the trained
eye, too-the nine may look exactly alike.
Not a mark not a line to distinguish one
from the others.
Ihe test tllms are developed ana taken
to the projection room. There chemistry
tells it's greyous truths. Closeups of the
nine women are thrown on the screen.
Four of the nine appear to be Ethiopians.
Four are ordinary looking, neither attrac-
tive nor ugly, the kind that would pass un-
noticed. The ninth-one woman of the
nine--is the handsome creature that she
seemed to the human eye.
AS explained to me In Hollywood this
surprising variation is due to the quality
of the skin. Some skins reflect too much
light. some absorb too much; occasionally
one has just the right actinic value. IL 1t
isn't right, there is nothing woman can
do to change It. She may be another Helen.

CHAPTER III.

THE city Of Los Angeles and all the
surrounding towns are full of beau
tiful girls toiling at homely occu-
pations. The visitor sees them waiting
at table in restaurants, ladling macaroni
in cafeterias, behind the counters OF de-
partment stores, selling cigars and news
papers in open air shops and bobbing
through the doors of factories. 1t is an
exhibition of personal comeliness not
wholly to be accounted for by the rich
endowment bestowed by nature on the
daughters Of California.
The visitor makes inquiry and the an.
swer he gets is this:
$50 you've noticed all these picture
faces? Why, they're the girls who came out
here to be Mary Pickfords. They we're the
bellies Of their own home towns. Nice
girls, most Of them, and good looking
enough, as you can see. But they mistook
good looks and ambition for talent. and
now they're lucky to have S25 in their pay
envelopes on Saturday night. It's quite a
story. Look into it,
So the stranger looks into it and finds
All over the country are girls eager to
be motion picture stars. Such girl has
perhaps won a prize in beauty contest.
Her friends have assured her that she looks
like Mary Pickford, Corinne Grifith, Enid
Bennett, Mary Miles Mlnter, Gloria Swan
son, Anita Stewart or some other celluloid
princess. A new way of doing her hair a
penciled lift of the eyebrow add to tho
fancied resemblance. Like as not the girl
makes hit with the local public as the
frolicsome ingenue OF amateur theatricals
It dawns upon her that she is an actress
as well as the fortunate possessor OF tho
type Of beauty for which wide the screen

the world with pockets full OF gold.

"A cinch,' says I. What kind of orgy
do you prefer-merely dope or love cult, or
something deeper? I am one of the official
orgy guides
1.-THE tourists decided was a nut and
beat 1t. Orgies! There's many a young
blood around here would like to get into
one once, just to see what they're like, you
know, but they can't find em. I've never
located one and been here three years
and have had bit of luck writing for the
screen. Where you from? Ever live in a
small town."
told him l had spent several years in
a New England village whose population
Of 749 hardly varied from census to census.
That's the idea," my new friend said.
Hollywood at night is just like your New
England village It's just a dormitory
for the cops recollect one night they
had to wake up and tell Jack Dempsey
some Of his crowd were disturbing the
neighbors, but outside of that, nothing.
Well, here's where l live. Good luck on
your search. Oh, for jolly old orgy to
take the creak out of these joints. But
don't believe all you hear. Good night"
Some of the Difficulties
Aspiring Ones Face
But we have wandered away through
the scented night of Hollywood, from the
screen struck girl and what befalls her.
Having found a room-$20 a month is
about the cheapest in Los Angeles, which
embraces Hollywood, but is seven miles
away-she learns right away that there is
no use in presenting herself at a motion
picture studio without a photograph Of
herself.
She finds one of the many photographers
who make speciality of emergency calls
like this one. She is rather stunned when
the assistant tells her of the thousands Of
pictures they have supplied to other girls.
But with the dozen precious photographs
she sets forth. Originally she thought that
it might be enough to apply at just one
studio, but her few hours sojourn have
given her a glimmering of the truth
The first studio she goes to has a row of
plain one story buildings fronting the
street behind a line of pepper trees. Auto
mobiles by the hundred are parked outside
A few shabby old men are standing by the
curb.
The girl has been told to ask for the
casting director. She asks one of the old
men where he can be found. This man
has face waffed by many a desert sun.
He removes his hat and points to door in
the side OF the row of low buildings.
Are you-are you an actor?" the girl
ventures. The old man is not without a
sense of proportion.
"Well, MISS" he says, lit might be higher
