tor Frank Capra, speaking for Hollywood and the United States.
The group went direct from the palace to the airport, boarded the three planes and flew to Guadalajara, second city of Mexico and home of the famous pottery and glass wares of Mexico.
The populace of Guadalajara jammed the streets leading to the hotel from four directions and, although the Mexicans are used to retiring early, they stood there patiently awaiting glimpses of Hollywood's leading stars and executives from 5 o'clock in the afternoon until after 4 o'clock the next morning, at which time there still were several hundred waiting. Their patience was rewarded soon after dawn, when the visitors began assembling for a dash to the airport. There the planes took off for the last leg of the return flight.
The official list of those who went to Mexico City to meet an outpouring of true democratic spirit and co-operative kinship between two countries follows:
John Hay Whitney, David 0. Selznick, Norma Shearer, Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Mickey Rooney, Frank Capra, Jock Lawrence. Kay Francis, Wallace Beery, Johnny Weissmuller, Frank Morgan, Brenda Joyce, Brenda Marshall, Joe E. Brown, Louella 0. Parsons, Dr. Harry Martin, Francis Alstock, Mr. and Mrs. William Wilkerson, Mischa Auer, Patricia Morison, Esther Fernandez, Desi Arnaz, Sabu, Lucille Ball, William Holden, Susan Hayward, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hardy, Mr. and Mrs. Stan Laurel, Mary Gordon, Edwin Schallert, Major Claussen, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Thomson, Ralph Jordan, Luigi Luraschi, lone Drake, Charles Daggett, William Wallace, Blayney Matthews, Les Petersen, John Truesdell, Kay Proctor, Shaik Dastagir, Herbert Klein, Irving Rubine, Whitney Bolton, Ivan Spear, Carl Schaefer, Ralph Wilk, Mr. and Mrs. Drew Pearson, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Vogel, Raymond A. Klune, Raymond Clapper, Miguel de Zarraga and Whitey Hendry.
So enthusiastic are all these that they have volunteered to repeat the trip to any Latin American country designated by John Hay Whitney, who is chairman of the Federal committee drafted to promote better relations between the Americas.
With all of our hard work and heavy schedule on an assignment like this, there was always something humorous that seemed to stand out. Other than competing with the Mexican photographers who were always courteous and gentlemanly I found it difficult to talk to them and they found it just as difficult to understand me. Having a very large party, some fifty people, and anxious to cover for all of the studios and their contract players, necessitated that I get back quite a distance and take in a large spread. I would get way back to get the spread, then twenty-five or thirty Mexican cameramen would move in and start banging away.
Before mv next trip I will go to Hollywood High School and learn a few words (Continued on page 26)
