GOING, GOING, GONE! - THE NEW SOUND OF HOLLYWOOD Frank Taylor 1A When MGM announced intentions to sell their vast store houses of props, costumes and related motion picture inventory of sentimental objects, old timers protested. But as the auction progressed and the giant studio announced plans for the future, it now seems like a logical step in the right direction.
