Hollywood hasn't found it.
However the women who dash about
here in trousers aren't the movie stars. A
few of them wear Stacks on the studio lot
or for sports, but none of them appear in
public dressed as though they were going
to a costume ball. If you spot a girl in
slacks you can bet that she's either
movie-struck female or a movie-struck
female.

that includes the screen notables as we'll

Walters and tourists seem to be the

Take the movie industry away from

Hollywood is really myth. 1t exists

motion picture studio out here Other
early movie studios located here and the
section became known as the film capital
of America.
Technically it isn't that today, although
it still is the center of the area that
houses the major studios. After $50 at
night its streets are as dead as those in
any small town.
There are more churches in Hollywood
