In Hollywood

and Vine -. where everyone wears
dark glasses but the movie stars.
Where it's got to be queer to be
looked at or beautiful. Where
gorgeous women come to be oggled
:. and don't go away disappointed.
Where you can judge celebrity by
the size of the crowd :. that gawkS
and Obs and Abs! Where
everyone dresses fit to kill F.. and
you die laughing. Where women
wear pants over hips with wrong
slantS. Where the ladies show it
even If it isn't good enough to be
seen.
Hollywood and Vine . where
the makeup is SO thick you can
wade in it. Where men are men
if you want to stretch a point. You
can tell If it's woman by the height
of her heels. And a mans giggle
is deeper in the throat.
Sardi's hundreds deep for
breakfast and a chance to say,
Hello MAJ" Hello Pal"
The Brown Derby where the
stars come to eat and the visitors
are lucky to get seat in the rest
room. Where you get yourself PACED
.. to make yourself known. Where
the price of a meal would buy a half
interest in Wyandotte's big Chief"
The hot dog stand across the street
doing a yelping big business.
Would-be starlets 4. with next to
the last dime on their backs
munching wiener to satisfy starved
innardS. Here she stands with
mustard and relish dripping down
her pretty chin gazing across
the street where success trotS
gayly into the Brown Derby
perched on the arm of Prince
Charming. Here she stands
with o smile on her adorable face
.. an ache in her heart. Longing
=. dreaming of the day she
will trot and prance and draw
the stares of the hoi poloi.
Hollywood and Vine where
many come t. but few are chosen.
Where the hot dog stand will always
do a land office business. Where
many Q pretty girl Is like melody
-. that sticks in your throat.
hollywood the land Of make
believe :. that gives a down-to-
earth welcome to all service men.
Where q soldier boy gets the keys
TO the city and a dream girl
TO show him around. Where our
fighting men come to forget
and spend days they'll always re-
member. Where CTS are Majors {. Fl.
and to hell with the General.
Dawn to dusk :. never ending
parade Of the beautiful the
gorgeous the dumb. Where
blondes are blondes come soap,
warm water and peroxide. Where
good looking legs are an asset
and without them you're bankrupt
Where the figure counts D.. if you
want TO score.
Hollywood and Vine land of
bright lights and bright eyes
Where it's good to know a movie
producer .. and the good don't get
to go. Where no one listens to you
-. unless they think you're crazy
Where 1t takes money to live
unless you adore red hots. Where
mans offer of a square meal is the
beginning of a romantic friendship
Hollywood and Vine land OF
sunshine and flowers where II
helps TO be lovely or nuttier
than a fruit cake. Where the tinkle
of glasses is hit parade music
and the days don't start till the
nights begin.
Hollywood and Vine where
your News-Herald reporter stands
baggy at the knees blinking
with the lights. He laughs at those
who stare then straightens his
tie wipes dusty shoes on shiny
pants pushes woody hair from
goggled eyes =. sticks pipe in his
mouth rakiSh like.
Who knows? Perhaps he toe
-. is something out of this world
%. hayseed fresh from the field
-. missed by the pillow.
