Banker* Association Official Tell* How Young People
Are Fleeced in “Hokum Pokum” Movie Scheme*—
The Investor Loses Savings by Listening
to Messrs. Slick and Smooth.
By W. R. MOREHOUSE
Public Relations Commission, American Bankers Association
HE fabulous salaries paid stars of the first magnitude, and
the publicity of the “movies” naturally create longing in
the breasts of thousands of our young Americans to get into
motion pictures. Because so many are ready
to leave home, and risk everything on a
fling at motion pictures, unscrupulous per­
sons have devised ways of fleecing these
ambitious young people out of their sav­
ings. “Hokum-pokum” schemes of various
kinds are used with great success. Fake
courses in the art of acting before the
camera, fake courses on how to make-up,
fake registration gags and screen tests, are
among the schemes used to separate these
thousands of young people from their cash.
The pilgrimage to the motion picture*
centers by thousands of novices usually end*
disastrously for the pilgrims. Naturally a
few are successful, but only a very, very
few, the ninety and nine meeting with dis­
appointment. The truth is, the number of
w a. more Hou«■ persons who seek to “break into” the movies
exceed the number of available positions by
one hundred to one. while in the realm of popular stars it is
thousands to one.
Don’t be misled by the promises of promoters of hokum-
T

Such investments as Mr Slick or

true and therefore ihey are not true.

sales talk you would infer that they
could make you rich as if by magic.
No. they are not miracle workers—

Twenty-four "estate«" representing

as bait to interest a lot of savers and
Anally bleed them of their savings.

ster lawyer or genealogist to send in
their names and their life history.
Soon they receive glad tidings tell­
ing them thgt their family tree can be
traced back to the deceased, in fact,
they are a direct descendant and an
heir at law
Like fake raffles everybody who re-
eponds to the search is found to be a
winner—in other words an “heir."
Here is where the rainbow chaser
gets trimmed. Before his claim to the
mythical thousands can be pressed so

on him to advance attorney's fees and
pay the expense of tracing through
