THE BISHOP OF HOLLYWOOD can, Bankers, Army and Navy, Friars, Advertising Embassy, Hudson River Country (New York) ; Hollywood Athletic, Kiawanis (Calif.) ; Vermejo (Colo.) ; Mayfair. Home: Sullivan, Ind. Office: Sherman Bldg., Sullivan, Ind. ; and 469-Sth Avenue, New York. A man used to the ways of political subterfuge, with no especial literary or scientific background, Will Hays peculiarly epitomizes the class-conscious, fearful yet aggressive spirit that has made the American movie an industry, and little else. Search hard and find a man more fitted to handle petty politicians, middle-aged meddling prudes, and aggressive financiers. The controllers, the movie barons, are satisfied with his work. The dividends are coming in. We can expect no fight for freedom, taste or mature thought in their product so long as the Bishop of Hollywood chants his platitudes and swings his pot of purity. 135
