HOLLYWOOD, Dec. l.-For my
first-and probably last-attempt at
public writing with the Gotten chin.
So my topic for today is whats
Wrong With Hollywood. This is
not to be confused with the other
subject that everyone picks: What S
Wrong With the Movies About
that I know nothing.
Hollywood is not what it ap-
pears from the magazines. This is
blow from which few actors ever
recover Gotten included. For one
thing, when l came to Hollywood
l had a good part safely Snagged.
Hundreds of others I found, have
had an equally easy time. That
wrecked notion No. / that to be
successful in the land O. the movie,
you had to cadge beans for months.
Then came the glamOr business.
Glamor must be here, because ali
the gossip columns say so, but its
elusive. Sadly l write that glamor
as a positive quantity can be dis
covered just as easily in Keokuk
or New Bedford.
FRONT YARD FRAMER
My introduction to this tinseled
land startled me to death. l drove
in from New York and started out
to find the house which had been
rented for me. To reach same, /
must cruise down Sunset boulevard.
On reaching that part of Los An
geles which is Hollywood, my sup
posedly sophisticated eye met moth
ing but a succession of enormous
and 1 mean enormouS-photo por-
traits framed. These repoSed, and
still do, on what seems to be every
front lawn of every other house lor
about two miles along the boulevard.
It occurred to me that this was Ger
tainly a novel way of attracting at
tention TO your potential worth as
an actor or actress. 1t was a week
before 1 learned they were profess
sional portrait studios.
Arriving at the house picked for
me it was time for bed So con-
slider the shattering discovery OF
the morning; NO swimming pool
I thought everyone in the movie
business had a swimming pool. My
only solace is that l don't par
ticularly want one.
This all happened when Orsen
WelleS was producing a number
called Citizen Kane" I was cast
as Jed Leland. The morning after
getting here, rushed to the studio
full of fire, ambition, and most OF
all. curiosity. A studio! Oh boyl
