Strolls Thru Hollywood

There are various ways for ac-
compliShing this end. In the old
days girls under contract were pro-
iected almost Immediately into the
limelight through a lively cam
paign of 'leg art" In practice this
meant that a newcomer was rush
ed into a portrait gallery, mould
ed into a tight-fitting bathing suit
and photographed from all possible
directions. Some of the most re-
ligiouSly discreet players of today
we're handled in that fashion, not
ably Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer,
Joan Crawford, Carole Lombard
and Rochelle Hudson.
This was a mild form of strip
tease which served the purpose OF
getting these newcomers in print
But somebody in Wichita, or was
it Boston? thought this was highly
wicked. The Women's clubs then
Joined the parade and the Hays
office lifted its ears from the cold
cold ground and declared legs OBJ
scene.
Whatever the virtues of this
edict, it spoiled grand system of
ballyhoo for Hollywood and left the
field of legs and female torsoS to
the enterprising gentlemen who pro-
mote the Florida beaches. This
was sad blow to the press agent,
who had become the worlds great
est authority on knees and calves
and thighs.
But this enterprising breed of
men didn't grieve very long. In the
search for something new they hit
upon eroticiSm as a medium for
ballyhoo. or, as some call it, tenn

This style of propaganda settled
upon a chosen feW-all of them for
eign girls of the type of Pola Negri,
Marlene Dietrich, Simone Simon
and, in a more wholesome sense,
Garbo. 1t became apparent, after
the first few experiments in this
new field that American girls were
out insofar as temperament was
concerned.
For some reason too obscure for
analysis, the public won't accept
an American girl who is (even syn
thetically) temperamental. Perhaps
Mrs. Jones doesn't think it nice. AT
any rate no American star has
gone far on this type of ballyhoo
Katherine Hepburn for a time; yes,
but not for long The Jaw, nuts, "
chorus didn't help Miss Hepburn
very much.
But it seems that Mrs. Jones from
Wichita can believe anything of
these foreign women" In the pub
lies mind they are born naughty
and when they go haywire-such as
throwing chairs at directors heads
the Main street sewing circle lifts
the roof with its "bravos," and more
tickets are sold at the box offices
II is a strange fact in this busi-
ness of ballyhoo that Temperament
tai men never get far on the screen
nor, for that matter, blondes. True
temperament is reserved for the
foreign ladies with dark hair and
moody eyes. What fun for a press

Whatever romance there may be
in publicizing Hollywood lies most

blames them for patting themselves
