Stars Talk 'Art') Then Neglect It HOLLYWOOD, (UR If the outside world pictures Holly wood filled with dope dens and populated with pugnacious drunks It's nobody's fault but the tinseled gods and goddesses who live here, according to one of the gods. You can sell 'em sex and you can sell 'em sin, says Actor Vin cent Price, but when you try to peddle "culture" you run smack into a solid wall of "stupid ignor ance." "They scream to high heaven about the reputation Holly wood's getting from people like Robert Mitchum and Bob Walk er. But when you try to get 'em to support something cultural they shrug their S5000-a-week shoulders and brush you off." And, Price added, he is just about the "most-brushed-off" gent in town. He and his Modern In stitute of Art. "We have over 1600 voluntary members," he says, "and outside of Edward G. Robinson and Fanny Brice, there's not a sin gle Hollywood start who's inter ested. We opened a year ago and we've had 35,000 visitors," But no movie stars. They're away at the races or the fights or Ciro's or Palm Springs. . Frankly, Price says, he wants the Hollywood trade because the museum can use the money. "If only 50 of them would guarantee us $500 a year," he explained, "we'd be in business." Most of his backing comes from local society dowagers and people ime uinor maous nuxiey, News paper Executive Robert L.

"But the stars all turn me down," he said , "And yoii'd be flabbergasted if I told you the names of some of these would- be highbrows." He has another reason for sling ing culture at the movie crowd He wants them to want it. "An expert from the Chicago Art Museum tells me Hollywood Is one of the leading centers for fine art in the world," Price said. "But the film stars aren't responsible.
