Permeers [ CONTINUED FROM PACE 73 procure your own pass, because Hollywood permeers are somewhat like railroad traveling in Mexico, you do not pay unless you have to. And when you have your pass you look carefully to see that it is not for seats in the front rows, because you do not want to wake up the next morning with a stiff neck. As a matter of fact, the theater which equips its front rows with swivel chairs will be the most successful theater for permeers, and I wonder that this has not already been done by Mr. Wra. Fox. ... So we went to the Al Jolson permeer, and everything was quite easy except we were too late to hire a Rolls and so were not asked to speak over the mike. A XI) as we turned down Hollywood Boulevard I said, "There is a fire somewhere, just listen to the sirens." "That is not a fire," said the young lady. "Those are motorcycle policemen and it is probably either Mary Pickford or the Governor of California who is going to the permeer." And, of course, I told her that she was Ionic moitillcc because I could distinctly see the glare of the fire down the street and a big crowd. But when we got closer, I saw that they had taken the lighthouses away from Santa Monica and Venice and put them on Hollywood Boulevard so that the crowd could see us and the other celebrities arriving. As we rolled slowly toward the entrance, the population of Los Angeles on the other side of the ropes began whispering in loud voices. "That is Norman Kerry," said one woman, who was fat and carrying a husband, but the husband looked at me and said, "Don't you know Lon Chaney when you see him? Give Lon a hand." So we drew up to the entrance amid applause and cheers, but it just shows you what an actor is, because when Billy Haines who was in the next limousine got out, he stood and bowed, having the idea that the applause and cheers were for him. Well, we got inside and I was going to our seats, but the young lady, who is already practically half-Hollywood, that is, she lives at Culver City and works at First National and has been here nearly a year, said: "Good Heavens, you do not go and sit down yet!" . . . The thing is that you do not sit down, it seems, at permeers, until the picture starts. You stand out in the lobby and everyone looks at you and says: "There is Basil Woon, I heard a good one about him yesterday, gee he certainly is getting bald, I wonder who that girl is, gee she certainly is a knockout, I wonder what she sees in him, did you read his last book, gee it was lousy." So you look at everybody else and say things about them, to get even. Here and there in the lobby are the Los Angeles newspaper movie critics, and everybody is very nice to them, and says, "Oh . what a darling dress!" Everyone is afraid that when the critics write about the permeer in their columns they will not mention their names but will merely say "and others"; and if there is one name you must not call an actor in Hollywood, it is "and others." AND Harold Lloyd came by and told us that he had had an argument with his architect. It seems that Harold spent last month going over his new house, having cut out cigarettes and other things that are bad for the heart, and it seems that he had ordered a library but he couldn't find it; after the second week he practically concluded that there was no library, and he was mad. So he called his architect and said: "I thought I ordered a library?" And the architect said, "Sure you did and you have got a library, in fact, it is one of the swellest libraries in Beverly Hills." And the architect took him right to the library, and it was a swell library just as he had said. So the next day, Harold was taking some friends over the bungalow, and after they had seen the golf course and the swimming pool and the banqueting rooms and the waterfalls and the Italian garden and the French formal garden and the Japanese sunken garden and the English rose garden and the Blue Room and the Green Room and the Pink Room and some of Particulars of Dr. Esenwein's famous forty ■ lesson course in writing and marketing of the Short-Story and sample copy of The Writer's Monthly free.
