ing. They do know.
The charge of commercialism is
leveled at Hollywood almost daily.
Yet I find that there are picture
makers who are highly idealistic
and intensely patriotic, and I judge
that this very quality of idealism
contributes much to their material
istic success.
That judgment I base upon my
own experience When I wrote

cial motives. 1 had no idea that
it would become a best seller. I
wrote the book because I thought
, that the truth about Russia and
the Russians should be told. so that
there might be better understand

was one of the most selfess things
l ever did. Perhaps it was for that
reason that it was one of the most
successful.

happy marriages. The great body
of motion picture executives and
stars are just people living quiet
family lives. Mrs. Davies and I have

Want to make a fortune in Holly

to those very interesting pages and
chapters in Russia.
A few days later, for instance,
I was sitting once more in the long,
high-ceilinged courtroom of the
Military Collegium of the Supreme
Court of the U. S. S. R. One after
another there paraded to the wit
ness stand the defendants In the
so-called purge trial." portrayed by
actors who were all but replicas of
the characters they were imper-
sonating. I heard them make the
same responses I had heard the
accused make to the same ques-
tions propounded to them in the
Moscow court, for every word of
dialogue in this scene is lifted YER
batim from the transcript Of that
cause celebre. Under the direction
of Michael Curtiz, the supreme
artistry of the actors made that
historic scene live again.
And there was I. seated in the
same aisle seat in the second row
which I occupied for so many days
during the actual trial. All about
me were the faces of men I knew,
the diplomats of a score of nations.
The faithfulness with which Di-
rector Curtiz has reproduced these
scenes gave them a reality to me
which was uncanny. Before coming
to Hollywood I would not have be-
heved it possible.
But I have learned great deal
here which has changed my ideas
about Hollywood. I find that had
many misconceptions about the film
colony.
In supposedly frivolous Holly
wood, for instance, I have discov-
cred a concern over national and
international affairs-political, eco
nomic and social - that certainly
equals the interest displayed in
some of the worlds political capi-
tails. Many Hollywood producers
whom I have met have as clear a
picture of the world scene as many
diplomats. Many stars are as we'll
informed as any business man.
Film capital conversation, far from
being a mere exchange of gossip,
is generally serious. Motion pic
ture folk talk. mostly, about things
that are important, not Just to
themselves, but to the world And
their discussions display intelli-
gence. reveal study and convey
authority.
The Movies Are Awake.
That, I have come to realize. Is
because the very nature of Holly

gagged in it into close contact with
the people of their own country

HOLLYWOOD.
This Is written from Hollywood,
which, to my surprise. I find is a
name and not a city. Still, it is the
motion picture capital of the world.
In many respects, it is a most in
seresting and amazing capital.
1t is also the city where the i'm
possible is almost commonplace.
These conclusions are outstand-
Ing in my impressions of Hollywood
after several weeks, during which
I watched the transition of my
book, Mission to Moscow" to the
screen.
Certainly, the impossible happened
to me, for I actually lived over
again some of the most interesting
and dramatic moments of my life
Nothing more impossible than that
ever has happened to anybody.
This went on since the first day
| set foot upon q sound stage at
The Warner Bros. Studio to find
myself, in the person Of that very
capable actor. Walter Huston, once
again presenting to President Mix
hail Kalinin of the Soviet Union
ny credentials as a United States
Ambassador to Moscow. To see this
recreation, let me assure you, was
startling experience.
With such fidelity had Warner
Bros. re-created that event that I
vas whisked all at once back along
the path of time to point that
passed five years ago. The closing
cf the stage door behind me shut
out completely the present-day
world.
I found myself in the Office of
President Kalinin in the Kremlin.
On the walls were the same maps.
The furniture was disposed in the
came fashion. So faithful was the
reproduction that it was difficult to
realize that this was a motion pic
talre set. So smoothly and &C
curately carried out was the
elaborate protocol detail prescribed
for an occasion that found myself
reliving the event, rather than
merely observing the making of a
scene for motion picture Most
amazing of all was Vladimir
Sokolov as President Kalinin. AS
he received my alter ego, Walter
Huston, this distinguished Russian
actor not only looked and talked
and acted like Kalinin. he was
Kalinin, capturing completely the
spirit of that quiet, simple, but
great man.
