Hollywood Washes
Hands of Whole
Affair
ny United Press Leased Wire

By United Press Leased Wire
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 4.
Hollywood today sprang to the
defense OF its reputation with
denial of the film city as the
location of the Courtland S.
Dimes shooting, as well as refu-
tation that any of those involv-
ed are Hollywood residents.
Fred W. Beetson, Hollywood
chief of the Association of Mo
ton Picture Producers and
western representative of Will
H. Hays, gave the following
statement to the United Press:
Neither Mabel Normand nor
Edna Purviance has ever lived
in Hollywood. None of the
principals in the scandal has
ever lived in Hollywood. The
affair did rot happen in Holly
wood. It is absurd to blame
Hollywood or the motion pic
ture industry for this affair be-
cause it was a private party,
attended by the motion picture
actresses as individuals.
1T is silly to blame pictures
for such a scandal for the same
reason that it would be silly to
blame the automobile industry
because a chauffeur was involv-
cd in the affair."

"I think it would" answered

started with Uncle Butter for the

looked at some round, hard white
balls of candy and took out some
money.

agreed Uncle Butter. SO the bun
ny gentleman bought half dozen
of them, dorpping them into the
pocket of his bag with the golf
balls.
On to the golf fields went Uncle
Wiggilv and his goat friend. They
reach the place whence the first ball
is knocked with a club, and Uncle
Wiggily started off.
On little hill of sand he placed
{, white ball. Then, raising his club,
hc gave the ball a hard knock,
sending it well over 6he field.
"Ah, | feel great now!' cried
.he bunny. "My rheumatism is all
gonc!'
"Good!' bleated Uncle Butter.
Then he knocked a golf ball, and
after that he and Uncle Wiggilv
knocked and chased golf balls all
around the field, now and then los
ing one in the rough or nigh grass.
At last the two friends came back
toward the road to knock their
last balls in the game. Uncle Wig
