144 SODOM AND GOMORRAH count. No, Hollywood has but very little to do with art and drama. It is a celebrity creator, fashioning little gods and goddesses in the womb of the greatest publicity organization on earth, and supplying the demand of the American public for heroes to worship. In this process of creation there is one important instrument exceeding, perhaps, in value all the other types of ballyhoo. It is as much a part of Hollywood as the pictures themselves. It is the fan magazine.
