„He could tell to the dime how much a man earned“

Editorial content. „Hollywood in a High Hat

      The rugged old movie democracy is fading and Hollywood

      is putting on the Pekingese – But the movie

      world is safe for democracy as long as Bull Montana

      wears his brown derby

      By Herbert Howe

      Drawings by Robert Patterson

      GONE are the days... la-da-da-da da-da-da!“ (...)

      „Hollywood as a movie colony no longer exists.

All the real aristocracy lives in Beverly Hills.“ (...)

      „With an Alpine guide you may even penetrate the hill

fastnesses and gaze through the gates of Corinne

Griffith‘s palatial estate, Mack Sennett‘s, Charlie Chaplin‘s,

Marion Davies‘ and the Fairbanks‘.“ (...)

      „The caste system of India is lax compared with that

of Hollywood. Charlie Chaplin, who at times inclines

toward society bolshevism, once remarked that he could

tell to the dime how much a man earned by the place

he occupied at a Hollywood party.

      He referred particularly to those bootlicking banquets

in honor of star or producer, at which upon arrival

you are presented with a stick of incense and a glass

for toasting. After about six toasts to the glory

of the feted nabob a fellow is liable to go wild and start

drinking to himself until he feels as good as the god,

if not better.“

      Drawing by Robert Patterson.
