No Hollywood House Shortage
Just Shortage of Millionaires
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, Calif., Oct. 28 CUB) You don't go house-hunting in
Hollywood, a movie newcomer found out today, unless you've
got enough cash in your nylons to buy MGM outright.
There's no housing shortage in this town, says blonde Sybil
Merritt. There's just a shortage of multi-millionaires.

TODAY'S BUSINESS MIRROR
Group of Business Men to
Study 'Climate' of Business
By SAM DAWSON
New York There's a group of men meeting down In
West Virginia today who have a greater influence on your daily
lives than you may suspect on the goods you buy, the prices
you pay, the laws you are governed by, and, sometimes, on the
conditions under which you work.

Trade associations have grown
rapidly. They have been widely
acclaimed, not only for their
work in the last two wars, but
also for the peace time some

Now, Miss Merritt's just a
brand-new movie star. She just
got her first leading role in "The
Vicious Years." And she's not
used to the way merchants
around these parts up the ante
the minute you put on dark
glasses.
She found out. The- first deal
er said he had "exactly" what
she was looking for and rushed
her out to a lavish San Fernan
do valley estate, complete with
swimming pool, tennis courts,
guest house, and servant's quar
ters. .
"What would I do with all this
space? " Sybil protested.
"There's just me and I don't take
up much room."
"You'll need It all to accomo
date the friends who'll be using
the pool and the courts," the
agent purred. "You'll never be
lonely here."
"I'll never be here, period,"
Sybil cracked.
She phoned another realtor.
He had an even fancier lay-out.
This one had the standard pool
plus an electrically controlled
wall and a complicated burglar
alarm system that'd turn Mickey
Cohen green with jealousy.
That, the agent said, was to
keep out gate crashers.
The third house had a second
floor devoted entirely to a nurs
ery, with pink and blue bunnies
floating, around the walls. Sybil
said she wasn't married. That
didn't even slow the agent down.
"Nothing like preparing for
the future," he gurgled. "But if
you don't like children, how
about converting the nursery in
to a err . . . a . . . rumpus room?"
room?"
Sybil kept on looking.
She found mansions with a
dozen bedrooms, three bars, and
n dining room. She's a girl who
likes to eat her dinner not
drink it. And she's not particu
larly hepped on sunken bath
tubs, either. Or mink-lined bou
doirs. Not when she has to pay
those prices.
"I finally found a little cot
tage I really liked," she said. "It
didn't have a single swimming
pool. And you could walk right
through the gate. I asked how
much. Then I dropped dead."
She still thinks $85,000 is a
little steep for two bedrooms,
etc. That's why she's still hunt
ing. But these days she leaves
her dark glasses at home.
