Thre HOLLYWOOD MUCH MALIGNED CITY, SAYS NORMA TALMADGE IN DEFENDING MOVIES 4 v& ij tfMf- II " a V4M because hp la popular. 1 know the na tion is not populated with men and women who begrudge merited success. "Here is another little Interesting item about the young girls and there are ninny of them trying: to 'get in i pictures.' I guess the average person j thinks they are the style of girl who ! cuts a wide swath along the gay -white I way' and leaves a trail in the cafes. ; spending 'money after a thoughtless ! fashion as she goes. Such is not the case, and here is the explanation. "The 'extra' girl, trying to make a i name for herself, does not work all the time, and often times, because' of the scarcity of work, wonders where she is going to get the money for her next week's expenses. And because of that fart she is less expensive than the avc-rarre young lady of the social sets. Host Little Town in WnrM" "Tint Lack on Hollywood again. lvrli:i.s it is not the best little town in the world. It is not a city of plod din? residents who look with a lustre less, questioning eye at progress here and there. .And. in the parlance of the slang of today, it ha no slow-1 thinking citizens the stolid type who resent the requirements of modern liv ing, who get no enjoyment out of life and want no one ee to. There is no air of mustiness and decay about Hol lywood, nor are there any slf-np-pointed reformers who go nUnr. denying sin, yet secretly indulging in it. That everlasting inertia grppin everything has yet to get iis hold on Hollywood. But still it is a place where one "would like to get married and settle down and take a home on the shady side of the street and watch the children and a couple of dogs romp together on the lawn and really enjoy life. "Perhaps hysteria is at the head. of the reform crusade. . "Perhaps dyspepsia has something to do with theniatter. "Or maybe it is a combination of the two." Then a director called Miss Tal made. She slipped down from off the box on which she had been sitting and lan across the 'set' to make another scene. SOCIAL LIGHT TURNS 'CAVE GIRL' AND EARNS LAND AS HOMESTEADER (Vni BY WILLIAM O. CAVflC, International Xows Service Staff Correspondent.) " LOR AJWSELEH, Cal., Sept. 21. "Yes, some people call this place 'Hor rible Hollywood,' mid even term the well-thought-of residents here as 'na tives,' " said Norma Talmndge as she sat on a box on the "lot" resting be tween scenes of her latest screen pro duction. Her usual wholesome smile was ab sent. A serious atmosphere swept across her face with cyclonic velocity . and there was fire in her eyes. .She had been asked what she thought on "all this comment about the motion picture colony and Hollywood." "Unfortunately," the. actress said clamly, "from professionally paid reformers have come unwarranted at tacks centered on members of the motion picture industry who live and work in Hollywood. That these at tacks were unjust and without foun dation and that idle rumor has been accepted for fact has been proved. "People continually ask me about Hollywood," Miss Talmadge continu ed. "Earnest men and women lead ers in art, literature and finance have askednie the truth of Hollywood. -And I tell them that Hollywood is a city much maligned. "What makes a city? you ask. Well, certainly not the malicious, half-baked, distorted creations of per sons" whose command of adjectives is greater than their regard for truth nnd their ability to see things as they really are. The real measure of a city's worth is its aim and its accomplishments. Hollywood Is Iwtir to ie" "Hollywood is dear to me necause T have lived and worked here have seen it progress enjoyed its trium phs. And, too, i have suffered real heartaches wherever a scandal made its appearance. The sensational par ties you read and hear about, but nev er sec, are not staged in Hollywood, I know. It is an undeniable fact that the motion picture colony does have. its 'undesirables' and scandals, but every other profession has them also. "The motion picture star realizes his or her debt to the public. They ure the Idols of millions, and they realize that because of this they must be careful in everything they do. "Evenings in Hollywood see gath erings of stars, directors, camera men, teohineal experts and writers all men and women who strive to attain perfection in the art they love. Hard work, inspiration, the radiance of home life and the goal ahead are al ways the spirit of Hollywood not the scandalous parties you hear about. "All films caannot be for children. Sex and money are part of everyday life, and a picture must have a back ground. Pictures portraying life must have these factors. llestriction Hurts Art "Criticisms have been made thai, pictures show too much of this or that. It has also been suggested that certain phases must lie eliminated and other parts 'cut.' r.ut restriction is not conducive to the best artistic re sults, and dogmatic, restraint is a death Mow to the soul of art.

It's a far cry from a fashionable ball room to a lonely mountain homestead, but pretty Eileen Young, just twenty-two, has bridged the gap. . I Just recently Miss Young won first! costume prize for. Mono : County, her adopted' county, at a fashionable .civic ball given . here. -. She wore, a "envp. woman s costume" fashioned from The Domestic Laundry, Inc.

Now she is back in Mono county completing the last ' of twenty-one months' residence on 64(1 acres of wild land which stretches from the High Sierras to the Mojave dcserV which she took up three years ago at the age of 19 as a "homesteader." Her principal neighbors are PUitn Indians and one of her best friend Is the venerable. "Four Fingered Jack," chieftain of the Piute's,, who has been her protector from the moment of her arrival three years ago. tie gave her the name of "Lonely Deer." Word went out that anyone who so much as lifted a finger against the little "pale face" pioneer who had come, to the Lake Mono district would answer to "Four Fingered Jack," for "Lonely Deer" is the niece of Oeorge ' Dora, homesteader and fast friend of the chief. Home ill Sail Joj-e. "Uncle George's" homestead is 30 nt'les from the cabin of the intrepid "Eileen Young, Homesteader,'' as she calls herself on her visits to civilizza tion and the home of her parents in San Jose. A mountain range rears It self between the two "sections" and a swift .mountain stream tears Its wy down toward the sea otherwise they are "close neighbors.' On her last trip to civilization "Lonely Deer" had some pictures ta ken in her ball costume to show Chief "Four Fingered Jack" her conquest of "society" for Mono county. The chief has never been to a city, much less to a fashionable ball, nnd the only Jazz he has ever heard is that afforded by the mournful chant of the coyotes that gather on the shores of fciii': lono at night to voice their HnxopiO'K. moans for the edification of lh.
