was just a bright kid in California.
Rather would point out the
value Of the high pressure, Sus-
tanned and clever publicity stuff
that issues day after day from
Hollywood with the stars as the
principal beneficiaries. After all
I ought to know. I handle q ton
and one-half Of this favorable
propaganda every week.
BOTH GOOD AND BAD
While have never been to
Hollywood could name without
a great deal Of effort the best
press agents there. Meaning the
best press agents, measured by
the copy they turn out.
There are some out there, pre-
sumably getting good wages, who
haven't had a new idea in the
eight years I have been opening
envelopes from their Sanctums.
There are, on the other hand,
feature and special writer's that
any newspaper would be fortu.
nate to have on the staff. They
can fill any kind Of q studio as
signment whether it be o maya
zine story for the high-priced
trade or the mush and CUFF for
the fan monthlies.

matte editor when was learning

he said to me, IT press agent
can't interest me with the first
two paragraphs I don't read any
further. He goes in the waste
basket"
This makes for celerity in judg
ment and I doubt If much worth
while escapes. For those who
write ponderouS and windy leads
invariably surround their story
ideas with much useless verhlage
that requires extended editing.
The press agent who writes with
the thought Of making it easy for
the editor will generally be found
producing the best results for his
scrapbook.
When you supplement the heavy
siege guns Of Hollywood with the
follow UP campaigns Of the local
publicity departments in the key
cities Of the motion picture world,
it is easy to understand why the
public is, as the advertising men
say, movie conscious.
LOCAL BOYS MAKE GOOD
Local desks are bombarded daily
with hot copy from the Washing
ton ReichenebachS. have never
seen more intelligent or effective
campaign than that prepared care

I hear somebody say why don't
they let these grumbling actors
go and get somebody else. Easier
said than done. Besides, after
they have been established as

wasted If they were dropped. Or
somebody else would cash In

to show via the farce method that

publicity turn her into a national

the radio and the screen to bring
about the result.
This is not as fantastic or as
exaggerated as it sounds. A year
ago Eleanor Powell was a tap
dancer. A good tap dancer, to be
sure, but hardly creating a sensa-
ton when she played the Fox

what happens? First the Holly

Death of Woman on WisC0n.
sin Avenue Is Cited in
Petition.

Construction of raised street car
loading platforms to replace the pres
ent safety zones on Wisconsin avenue
was demanded last night by the
Cathedral Heights Cleveland Park Cit
liens Association at meeting at st.
Adams Parish Hall.
In a resolution directed to District
authorities, the association declared
the existing white-lined safety areas
on that thoroughfare are difficult for
the motorist to see even in daylight.
During the recent resurfacing Of Wis
consin avenue, the button" markers
were removed from the safety zones,
the association asserted. adding that
the raised markers were not REIN
stalled.
The petition also asked that bar
rier be placed at the "oncoming" end
of each safety platform to safeguard
persons standing in the zones.
Cites Fatality.
"The life of Mrs. Holsonbake might
have been spared if proper loading
zones had been in use last Friday
night" DR.. Charles w. Warner, pastor
of St. Adams Church, told the associ-
alton in urging adoption of the resolu-
ton. He referred to Mrs. Lauretta
Holsonbake. wife of a Mount Alto
Hospital nurse, who was killed by an
automobile while standing in safety
zone at Wisconsin avenue and Woodley
road.
Elwood Seal, making his first ap-
pearance before a citizens association
since being appointed to the office of
CORPORATION counsel, told the group the
Commissioners are anxious and will
ling at all times" to receive the sug-
eestions of citizens as to needed legiS-
lation.
Cites Lost Legislation.
Seal devoted most of his talk to a
discussion of number of bills
affecting the District which failed
of passage at the last session Of Con-
sress. Among the more important
ones in this group, he said. were
measures calling for change in
lunacy proceedings; an amendment to
the gambling act aimed at the num-
bers" game: bills to regulate lore
closures on real estate and provide for
regulation of the small loan business,
and other measures relating to COM
pulsory mechanical inspection Of auto
mobiles. snow removal and the filing
of damage suits against the District
government.
The meeting also was addressed by
Marvin Bears, treasurer of the newly
formed Washington Civic Theater; W..
