BEHIND ‘CLOSE-UP’
“MORE ABOUT MOVIELAND’’ By Observatus
Now with the jails full of speeders and the streets full of long skirts and the court calenders full and overflownig with divorce cases, what’s to be done?
Everyone has the habit of suing one another, when, at one time, we were chums and dining together. Again I ask, what is to be done?
Nothing!
All right, if that is the case, just let me show you what has happened lately and what is about to happen.
Let’s go!
At present we have just TEN divorce cases to take care of and just NINE law suits to be settled in court. Probably by the time this goes to press there will be many more.
Just compare this statement with the records of three and four years ago. Film folk must be very short of cash, or have been victims of something or other, to act this way.
Remember these nineteen cases are just film folk!

And —
Well, that’s all we can think of up to this instant.
But, don’t you honestly think that this is a pretty bad situation?
Now, this is what Hollywood is laughing at, as this goes to press:

Stars who “pass out” at the Plantation Cafe.

Stars who stand up for bobbed hair.
Stars who stand up for long hair.
And —
Well, that will be all for this issue, but we promise some surprises soon.

Each of us who thinks himself a Mite, Is greater to himself than Infinite: His import to surroundings in his sphere,
Makes him aware he is important here.
