Ramon Novarro is extremely popular with the fair sex in Hollywood but he is the exception to the rule that the passion of men for athletics is one of the reasons for Hollywood's sex-starvation

Beauties, such as Kay Hughes, wearing the scantiest
garb imaginable are a commonplace at the studios
but despite this Hollywood is the most sexless town
in the world!

A Bevy Of Chorus Girls in outfits that would make a beach patrolman reach for his measuring tape strolled along the studio path.
On a nearby stage, a red haired star stepped under the glare of giant lights, faced an audience of fifty odd technicians, laborers and actors, and wearing little more than it would take to cover a couple of postage stamps, played a scorching love scene with a handsome young leading man.
Sex, one might say, in a big way.
As a matter of fact, for all its undraped beauties and passionate screen embraces, Hollywood is the most sexless town in the world. It has more sex appeal decorating its stages, walking its boulevards and adorning the nearby beaches than any other place of its size, bar none. Nevertheless, it is a sex-starved community.
• One hears of wild parties and gay orgies in the home of the talking flickers. Divorce stories and scandal yarns make beautiful black headlines. Pictures of scantily attired ladies of name and fame thrill males from Podunk to Cairo. It's a rare film that one of our more shapely cinema queens gets through without a bit of undressing for audience enjoyment.
That's one side of the Hollywood scene. It's the side that goes out for public consumption. No one can accuse Hollywood of not taking advantage of the commercial angles of sex appeal, or the newspapers of playing down the sensational stories that occasionally break.
But in its private life, Hollywood is about as chaste as an Olympic athlete in training.
Certainly there are a few wild parties. Of course there are love affairs. But there isn't as much wild partying and cheating going on in the film city as there is in the average small town, where half the husbands are chasing some other fellow's wife.
The newcomer to Hollywood will find the picture folk a deal more interested in keeping fit to hold down their jobs than they are in dallying with the flesh pots.
