There Amt No
Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. IA
without malice, this is q story to
destroy one Of the grandest Of all
illusions about q place as well
known throughout the world as
London, Paris and New York.
This place Is Hollywood; the
fact is this: Hollywood, supposed
" the center Of all motion picture
production, is q place without
corporate existence. The post Of
flee does not recognize it officially
and the name legally passed out
Of existence years before the first
motion picture was made in Cali
fornia.
Dave Butler, native-son director
Of Shirley Temples '"The Little
Rebel" and Captain January
for Twentieth Century-Fox =
studio located at Westwood od-tells
Interestingly Of the founding OF
Hollywood, Of its absorption by
Los Angeles and its remarkable
retention Of name legally out
lawed since 1910.
"The place we call Hollywood
had its beginning In August,
1887" he says, when q tract OF
100 acres owned by Horace VII
cox was divided into small citrus
ranches.
'This small community, lying
eight miles west Of Los Angeles,
did not receive its present name
and charter until 1908 when its
1,4OO citizens voted to incorpo-
rate. Curiously enough, the sec
ond law passed by the city coun-
Gil was an ordinance prohibiting
the driving Of more that 1000
sheep at q time down Prospect
Avenue, the present Hollywood
Boulevard which Is famed
throughout the world.
I'm 1910 Hollywood became q
part Of Los Angeles and lost its
corporate indentity. A year later
the Nestor Company leased a
tavern and produced '"The Law
Of the Range Within six months
four other studios were operating
In orange orchards and wheat
fields.
"The truth is that Los Angeles,
Burbank, Culver City, Westwood
and Universal City are the homes
Of the motion picture industry.
What once was Hollywood now
holds only the Western Avenue
studio Of Twentieth Centry-Fox
and Paramount, and 80 per cent
Of the stars live at Beverly Hills,
Santa Monica and Malibu Beach.
'The largest Of the many studios
that cannot call Hollywood home
Is the giant Twentieth Century
Fox plant at WestWood. This IN
Stttution Is ON 100 acres, boasts IL
modern stages, employees 80 gar
denerS and landScaperS, and has Q
| police force Of so men. Approx
mately 1900 men and women worA
there"
But though the postoffice ha'
no sentimental respect for Holly
wood and tolerateS the name only
because Of It's wide usage, the film
people have q warm spot for 1t.
Hollywood's population Is eSti
mated at 180, 900, and close to 81
per cent Of its voters are reliant
upon its main industry. The com
munity boasts q chamber OF com
merce, 20 churches, 20 large the
aters-and no pawn shops.
And so a fact-finder wrecks
another illusion.
