PRIVATE LIFE OF THE MOVIE condense and clarify this one only; a mysterious and important element that is included in the movie spirit. Our frenzied scramble for production and wealth has produced no phenomenon as bewildering as the movie industry, the nation's fifth largest business. Untold wealth and untold influence have come out of the mad houses of Hollywood. The movie actor and the movie producer are American folk heroes. The one a Paris, a super-lover; the other a Maecenas; a king of uncounted wealth. Even the real men in the business cannot explain nor knit together the many tangled threads of life that hang to the ever-flowing stream of celluloid belting the world. The movie was created, tried and developed in America. Supported by the dumb and the quick, rich and poor, it is the most powerful medium for news, opinion and art in the world. One important group of people associated with the business has escaped the eye of the press and the hand of the press agent. In the opening scene we gave you some idea of how close to the factory this group works. 2
