PHOTOPLAY COLONY,
TIRED OF SLANDER,
TO COMBAT REPORTS

4 propaganda campaign to combat
magazine and newspaper articles
which have carelessly or maliciously
attempted to paint Hollywood as a
modern Babylon with a touch of
Sodom and Gomorrah thrown in will
be launched jointly by the Hollywood
Chamber of Commerce. the Motion
Picture Producers Association and
the Screen Writers Guild, II the
plan proposed this week by Benjamin
b. Hampton is carried out
Hampton has pointed out the neces-
sity of removing the smirch which
scandal mongers and writers for sala-
cious publications insist on hanging
on Hollywood. He suggested that "a
joint propa Uganda committee be ap-
pointed to see that novelists and
special writer's visiting Hollywood
were properly escorted and shown
Hollywood as ii really is, and de-
clared in favor of keeping a bureau
at work constantly sending out press
matter that would combat the efforts
OF the filth-seekers.
II any fragrant violations of ethics
and morals were found in Hollywood
these should be eliminated from with
in. Hampton stated. He also favored
war on the type of landlords who
hang out mo dogs or movies signs.

duction at Lasky's, spoke for the

ShalD Refused Plea,
That He RelDrite
Act of "MethuseLah'

In connection with the announce
ment in The Herald of last Sun
day that the New York Theater
Guild Is preparing to produce
George Bernard Shaw's Back to
Methuselah" in the novel fashion
of presenting the plays three acts
in order (each act to be given for
an entire week) it Is of interest to
learn from the New York Times
that the Guild asked Mr.. Shaw to
make certain changes In the second
part of the play. In this section
two of the leading Characters are
quite evidently political caricatures
of Asquith and Lloyd George. sand
the Guild. fearing the satire would
not score here, asked Shaw to
change this scene in some way
more pointed to America. He re-
fused to do so. in the following
paragraph:
The second play will not mean
Asquith and Lloyd George to your
produce the effect 1t will produce
here on the few people who have
any sense of political personalities
But in Fanny's First Play the
American public knew nothing
about Walkley, Gilbert Cannan and
A. E Vaughan (for thar matter
very few people outside little ring
In London were any better in
formed.) Nevertheless. Trotter,
Gum and Vaughan went down just
as well in America as here. 1
therefore believe that IL Joyce
Burge and IJubin fail here they will
fail everywhere; and IL they sue
ceed here they will succeed just as
well in America. However that
may be. the thing must stay as 1t Is
now. The job did itself that way,

DID fOU KNOW THAT
OLGA PETR0VA WAS
ONCE A REPORTER?


The fact that Olga Petrova Is ap-
pearing in a play Of her own au-
thorship-The White PeacockF-
serves to recall the fact that she
has had no inconsiderable career
as a writer. At all events, the
records show that she was the frst
woman reporter on the old London
Tribune. and that fact Is worthy
Of being recorded.
1t was in the hope Of a theatri-
cal engagement that Nine. Petrova
had como to London from her
native Warsaw-she was the
daughter OF an English father and
Polish mother-and II was when
the stage career failed to material
ize that she became a reporter. Her
salary on the Tribune was a pound
a week, and her assignments were
concerned mainly in the station
house and the police courts.
When she got her theatrical start
she raegated her writing to second
place, and there IL has remained.
But. as she flashed through the
movies, vaudeville and the legiti-
mate. she has never left her liter
airy ambitions entirely behind her.
She has written numerous short
stories-many of them published
in Ainslee's and The Smart Set
and is also the author of a num-
Der of one-act plays. Unless she Is
concealing something, however,
The White Peacock" is her frst
fulI-length play
That play, incidentally, will be
issued by the Four Seas Press In
book form in the neaS future, and
the same house will also bring out
a volume of the Petrova short
stories. Mime. Petrova. incidentally.
was the author OF most of the ilm
stories IN which she appeared-for
which she may or may not deserve
credit

and cannot pull It to pieces And
do II some other way"
In this connection 1t may be In
.terestihg to note that Drinl<water last
year. when there was so much dis
cussion over the prologue to Mary
Stuart. and the management wanted
TO try either rewritten version or
else to try the play with the prologue
removed entirely. refused to make the
necessary alterations. His grounds
for refusing were the same as Shaw's.
The play. he said. had come TO him
snd got itself written that way. and
