MOVIE CAPITALS ARE FAR APART
Entire Continent Separates Two
 Big Centers

New York. May 2. RI-America's
 star-spangled industry has become unique, not because of it's two cen- ters. but because of the mileage that
 separates them.
 In size the fourth or fifth indus try of the United States, the mak- 1 ing and marketing of motion pic. lures is controlled in this Financial Hollywood" 5000 miles from the real Hollywood, the seat of produce tion.
 Within a few square miles are the counting houses and executive of- fices where the kings of filmland count out their money and oversee the raising and spending of it. The home offices of every important mo- !. tion picture producer and distribu- tor and most of the minor compan- 1 ies, more than 100 in all, are situ-
 ated here. Less than 20 blocks sep.
 arate the offices of the big leaders. In tho garden of the industry.
 across the continent, the maids and
 men who work for the kings hang up their fine clothes, adjust the lights. rescue heroines from villains. turn the cranks of cameras and per- form the various tasks that ultimate. ly bring in the money. The produc. tion of screen dramas likewise is centered in comparatively cir cumscribed locality, with Hollywood as it's capital.
 The gradual transfer of produc. tion activities from the lesser stu- dios of the east coast to California
 reveals more distinctly the distance
 that separates the head and hands
 the eastern studios is becoming al-
 most negligible.
 In gross numbers. the motion pie ture personnel in Californa exceeds
 that in New York. But 8 majority
 of the permanent personnel is ill this city. The business personnel is
 stable, 1t is explained, whereas aside from stars, stock players. directors, writers. artist. technicians and skilled workers, production person. nel is subject to wide fluctuations. Main offices of Famous Players
 1asky, Universal, Producers Dis-
 tributing Corporation and Inspira- tion Pictures are on Fifth avenue. First National has offices on Madi-
 son avenue, Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer and Warner Brothers on Broadway.
 United Artists on Seventh avenue, and Fox on Tenth avenue.
 A few miles downtown is Wall street, symbol of the millions made and spent in industry.
 The radius in which most of the studios are located embraces Los Angeles. Culver City, Hollywood,
 Burbank and Universal City. There are approximately 40 studios in the five localities.
 Southern California is dotted with beautiful landmarks, built for the movies. There, too, do most of the
 film celebrities have homes.
