' ■ HERE are no houses of prostitution in Holly* wood. No foot-weary Magdalenes the night. Hollywood looks with contempt upon the hun- ger-driven sisterhood that haunts the streets and bawdy houses. Here the merchandizing of sex has been made a fine art—its devotees are artists. The unskilled worker is a pariah—unwelcome. The old Barbarv Coast the old Tenderloin Barbary Armour Avenue, at their height, are not Hollywood. There is no restricted district—no "other side of the railroad There is nothing crude or tawdry about Holly- wood. Hollvwood loves refinement. Wherefore, the "joy parlors" and the "love nests" of Hollywood are not all in Hollywood. The "artists" pay a little more for what they get than anyone else—go where they will and are welcomed. Foul fingers reach far out from the city into the green hills and valleys. The reek of city vice mingles with the scented air of the open places-—Hollywood overlooks no bets. A thousand roads lead to canyon cabin, sequest- ered cottage or mountain shack. There are easy routes to a scofe of hidden bays and inlets where wait lavishly furnished yachts and house-boats. From San Diego to Del Monte, from the beach to the desert Hollywood drips its ooze.
