Your Neighbor Says: — (Continued from page 102) sor, Kathryn Perry and many others. Mr. Schertzinger's sister played several harp solos, and in contrast, Sally O'Neill gave her version of the Varsity Drag. Some of the guests played bridge; others wandered down to the tennis court and a few dropped into the private projection-room to see a new picture. It was a wonderfully delightful afternoon — one that I won't forget for a long time. "I also took advantage of another opportunity that only Hollywood can offer — a world's premiere of a famous picture. I attended the Biltmore Theater the night of the gala opening of 'The Godless Girl.' It was an evening of splendor. All the stars •of Hollywood were there in all the glory of Paris. Sue Carol sat just in front of me with Carl Laemmle, Jr. I think Sue is prettier off the screen than she is on, which is an exception to the rule. The audience of famous people seemed to take delight in applauding at the wrong time. Even Alice Joyce, who sat behind me, applauded once or twice at the wrong things. Norma Shearer looked particularly pretty. It was a brilliant event. But somehow I can't help wondering what Cecil De Mille thought when the audience rather kidded his picture. "Speaking of celebrities, Evansville has some of her own. The mother of the first soldier killed in the World War lives in a little home, built for her by the city to honor her famous son, James Bethel Gresham. Evansville is the home of Gaunt Baggott, the brother of Hollywood's famous King Baggott. Clara Beranger, who is the wife of William De Mille, also lived in my home town. Evansville is proud to have contributed to the pictures, even though her contribution be limited. "With all of Hollywood's fine people, wonderful climate, beautiful scenery, churches and clubs, the unsavory reputation persists. I really can find no reason to talk against Hollywood and a thousand reasons for praising her. A place to live in — a place to be happy. It is the only place I've ever been where everyone seems to be free from restraint. Everyone has a good healthy coat of tan and red cheeks. Each person attends to his own rose bush and allows his neighbors to do the same. "Why is it then that every time an author has reached the point that his name is well known, he immediately takes a trip to Hollywood and by picking out never-again instances and working his imagination overtime, why is it he gives to his waiting world a Story that is so biased, untruthful and prejudiced that it is almost libel? "Lots of people want to come to California, but if they only knew how far Hollywood is ahead of the rest of the State, I suppose they'd all come to Hollywood. Then the beautiful little town wouldn't be the same — so maybe you'd better not tell them." Read Motion Picture and Keep Up-to-Date with the Stars and Their Activities.
