SO it is no use saying that Mr. Flynn's private life belongs to him. It does not. Nor does the life of any other man or woman who accepts the rewards and fame of public popularity. He owes us all a great deal and he must pay for it by conducting himself so that no disillusionment can result. In other words, he needn't be an angel, but he must be a right guy. There are points to be reckoned with upon both sides of this case. For instance, there seems little question that Mr. Flynn has been guilty of lack of taste and discretion in his associations. In not protecting himself from either temptation or possible frame-ups, as the case might be, Mr. Flynn took chances with our confidence and his employers' money apparently for his own amusement. That's silly. And of that he must already stand convicted, I think. However, that's slightly different from the crime of which he is accused and for which he can be sent to jail or even, if he escapes a prison sentence, be ruined in the public's eye for all time. As Tallyrand once remarked, sometimes a blunder is worse than a crime. There are a few facts about Mr. Flynn and his life in Hollywood which I think it is only fair that you should know. They are pretty generally known in the movie capital and have had a great deal to do with the fact that as a whole Hollywood would like to see Mr. Flynn get a break — at least a fifty-fifty one — on this present trouble. UOLLYWOOD hasn't said much and for a reason that does it credit, though it may be hard on Errol Flynn. Right now, the motion-picture industry has plenty of troubles of its own and Mr. Flynn is merely a personal headache, as they see it. Hollywood is honestly and deeply wrapped up in the war effort. They are more aware than ever before of the job they can do for their country — both as entertainers and as propagandists, in the best sense of the word. The casting problem with young male stars going into the service is one so serious that unless something sane is done about it, it won't be long until those of us at home and our boys in the service won't have any more motion pictures. The $25,000 salary ceiling is a desperate one for people who have assumed large obligations, support half a dozen families, keep up farms and homes and are faced with no time in which to adjust to smaller incomes. Above all, right now, the movies want to serve in the war — want to get credit for the job they have done toward unity and war spirit with "Mrs. Miniver" and "Wake Island" and pictures like that. They dare not go all out, even though they may understand and sympathize greatly with Mr. Flynn for many reasons, for fear their defense will be misunderstood and put down as condonement and folks somewhere will say, "Oh sure — you'd expect Hollywood to defend a guy like that — look at 'em — they haven't any morals themselves." And right now Hollywood — to do its job — dare not risk any part of a scandal, any part of a defense of a man accused as Errol Flynn is accused. It isn't selfishness, it's a true desire to keep their name clean so that they may better serve. So much I know. So, to a large extent, Mr. Flynn is going this part of the road alone. 88 Yet only Hollywood could understand how often a man in Flynn's position is in a spot, how dangerous his every step, how much safer he probably was out on that little boat with the sharks than as a matinee idol among a lot of movie-mad. ] career-hungry, publicity-crazy girls. I have watched it for a good many years — in the days of Wallace Reid, of the incomparable Valentino, of Jack Gilbert and many others. And sometimes I have had good reason to be ashamed of my sex. I have seen things you would hardly believe — diamond necklaces handed to a star's valet, very clever badger games, girls of good family hiding under beds after climbing in windows; every possible effort to rope in a movie star made by women of much higher education and much more knowledge of right and wrong than the girls in the Flynn case can possibly have. A man in Flynn's position if he is unmarried and foot-loose is always headed for trouble — with forms of female persecution, with every known form of blackmail and frame-up. Every detective who ever worked in Hollywood and every reporter who ever covered it will bear me out in that. It sounds fantastic, but it is necessarily true. D EHIND this case of Errol Flynn lies the peculiar dangers of Hollywood fame and fortune. And above all, in this particular instance, the special dangers to Errol Flynn. In the first place, Mr. Flynn has never been a real favorite with people. When he first came to us and made an overnight success, he was a pretty cocky young man. He was very handsome, and gave the impression of thinking well of himself. He had lived a totally undisciplined and adventurous life, and he had an unfortunate superiority of manner and accent for which possibly he was not to blame. Anyhow, he never made a great many friends on his own lot and he did make a number of enemies. His methods with people who played in his pictures were highhanded to say the least. Of course, he was young and spoiled and he had done amazing things. Somehow, he never won the hearts of his equals, the way Gable and Cooper, for instance, have always done. However, be it said in his favor, he has the loyalty and affection of a good many great friends whom he has chosen because of his own liking rather than for anything they could do for him. Now if you know anything at all about the Irish you know what happens in that case. And it happened in the case of Errol Flynn. Hurt inside, he started putting his worst foot forward with a sort of brittle defiance. It wasn't in him any more than it has ever been in any other Irishman to attempt conciliation, or to try to make himself better liked. Under the general opinion that he was an arrogant pup, he proceeded to get worse and because of his success people had to like it. But in the last year or year and a half everybody in Hollywood tells me that Flynn began trying to change. His marriage broke wide open and there is no question that he loved Lili at one time. Perhaps he had begun to get the unexpected accumulation of his own carelessness. But above all, came the war — and Errol Flynn, the great fighter, the man who played Custer, the adventurer, couldn't get into service. As nearly as I can find out, he wanted to get into the fight two years ago. His courage has never been questioned and he was born a British subject. Every photoplay combined with movie mirror
