HOLLYWOOD
TOPICI
By TOM LEWIS
CHARMING GIRL, writing from New York, wants to know if there are in Hollywood any interesting personalities aside from famous directors and bright movie stars. If so, can I — and will I — name a few of the same. Yes, Miss Knickerbocker, I can and I will. Woof!

HARRY OLIVER is an interesting personality. Used to design sets for Pickford and Fairbanks. Now does the same for Frank Borzage and other ace directors. Remember "Seventh Heaven" and "Street Angel"? Those were Oliver's backgrounds. And that rare beauty in John McCormack's picture? Oliver again. Keen artist — and a whimsical, likeable fellow. Has a weakness for Spanish food.
FRANCES DEANER — known to her intimates as "Bobbie" — is an interesting personality. A good press agent but a better all-around "newspaperman." Signally honored by the Gridiron Club of Washington and the Elks' Lodge with its million members. Handled entire Red Cross campaign during World War. Personally decorated by a great President of U. S.

THE TALK OF THE TOWN
Works hard, says little, and grins and bears it when some vociferous nitwit horns in and bellows for all the glory. But what is glory without honest achievement?

ABE LYMAN is an interesting personality. By thumping a drum and using his noodle' he has built a great band and a reputation for square dealing. Gives credit where credit is due and seldom gets up to take a forced bow. So many do, you know. Abe got to the top b~ hard work. Stays there by the same grim method. Gets results by using his think-pan.
fcy* t^W (^W
EARL REED is an interesting personality. Hollywood policeman with something in his dome besides sawdust. Came to Hollywood when there wasn't any Hollywood. Antedates Cecil DeMille, Lasky and Zukor. Knows more celebrities than Tex Guinan. Stands at the corner of Hollywood and Vine and calls all the big shots by their shore-nufr nicknames. Good guy, formerly an aviator, and always a gentleman. Not many Reeds — in Hollywood 'or elsewhere.

EDDIE BRANDSTATTER is an
interesting personality. Feeds the hungry, comforts the weary, and still finds time to think up new ideas for making the Montmartre a humdinger. Has more lady friends than Bluebeard but treats 'em all alike — and treats 'em good. Eddie has seen them come, and he has seen them go, but he loves them all — good, bad and indifferent. Ideal restaurateur. But a rotten golfer.

OSCAR SMITH is an interesting personality. Bootblack by vocation. Actor by avocation. Black outside but white inside. Special favorite of Zukor. Friend and advisor to Wally Reid, Theodore Roberts and Richard Dix. Doesn't like to fight but loves to wrangle. Can make African golf graphic and understandable in any known language — including the Scandinavian. He is, to Central Avenue, what Governor Whalen is to Broadway— Beau Brummel. Yass suh!
((?• t(5* ^5*
LARRY CEBALLOS is an interesting personality. Stages revues in Hollywood that make New York producers burn with envy. Has a way with women and can coax more work out of a troupe than Pershing can sweat out of an army . Beauty is his obsession. He exudes it. What a man!
t£* t5* g5*
BILLY COE is an interesting personality. Best timekeeper on the West Coast. Knows more about the fight racket than Lindy knows about air currents. A keen little guy who numbers his friends by the thousands. And a nifty dresser? Oh,, my dear!
