HOLLYWOOD
Something About Notorious Moving
Picture Colony.
- ? ? o
The recent nmpdor"?5f William Hgfr.
tuoiwl Taylor, wiVlely known motion
pietnre <11 motor, has caused public in
terest to turn toward the motion pic
ture colony at Hollywood liere hml nu
laorous inquiries about that colouy and
tho life of its ]>eaple ihave followed,
says a Los Angeles, OaL, dispatch.
Hollywood is the general name as
signed to a section of Los Angeles ly
ing about elgfcst miles from t3>e down
bow n business section. Many motion
liklure studios are scattered through
Hollywood and thousands of people
from all classes of society are employ
<xl at the studios.
Whore *-? many tyi>w are gathered,
there are all variations of character
and morality. Home of those who come
?o the lots as hunvMe extras sinjceed

size Mwit provide the needed leverage
for tlK> lift to success.
When people sprint? from poverty to
affluence, often within a few weeks,
their mental equipment is not always
equal <to the strain. They have money,
an unaccustomed toy,' and they spend
it in bizarre ways. Tty>y mny buy au
tomobiles, of the usual styles and fin
ishes known in the- trade here as
"niovio trick machines," or they may
take to having "wild-par tios," or they
mny Indulge in other forms of relax
ation and excitement. Many of them
spend all they make. Ono .well-known
star testified in the divorce court re
cently that he was getting $700 a week,
he said he had $700 in laink as pay day
lind just passed, that he had three au
tomobiles, an expensive wardrobe and.
no other assets.
Many of them come in frotn other
work, in which habits have become fix
ed on them. In the pre-prohibitlon
dpys there were many "country clubs"
and all-night restaurants that drew a
heavy pivfcrotingo from the ranks of mo
tiou picture i>eople. They went to these
1'tlrrws to SCt1 OuCu Ouit-T ?uTiu tow Sef'Ti
by eftrfi other and the public. ?
Sometimes tliey drank n good deal
Sometimes very little. Since prohibi
tion came in many of them who had no
liquor stocks turned to other stimu
lants. The dealers in illicit drugs
found a growing clientele.
With liquor, and to some extent
drugs, there were some few who corn
blued irregular relations Ln life. Mo
tion picture people themselves admit
that innuoml and sometimes perverted
persons are to be found In the Indus
try, but they insist that the percent
age of these is relatively small anil
that only their position in lhe_ public
eye has made them at all conspicuous.
It is not denied that some drug users
are connected \pit!h the Industry, but
the producers take the -position that
these people are betas rfkminatod as
opportunity offers.
Tliese various conditions lirtvc caused
property owners in Hollywood and in
other sections to look on some motion
picture people with disfavor when they
seek to rent pro|>erty. The owners
have even advertised rental property
with the pbraxe "No movies wanted,"
and in many Instances lenses are marie
with the provision that all damage
done by the tenants shall be repaired.
-? There areAowever, scores and hun
dred* of motion picture people who lire
live# in no waV dJaatintlar to those of
other Arovriwa TKmsrtolders ; they fo
to the rtndios, do their work, return to
normal homes, and gpead their even
?
! ings at theatres, at heme, at clubs or
in ordinary pursuits Many of them
ha vo purchased handsome homes?
marly of tlbcm saw war service; niauy
of them were ? and are ? hoidevsof

some of them are regular church at

First Paved Street.
Washington, Feb. 21.? Charleston,
West Virginia*, has the distinction of
being the first city in the United .States
to uve brick for street imving. Al
though hiick had been used to pave
streets In European countries, princi
pally Holland, for nearly a century,
they were not tried in the United
States until 1871.

streets more than 100 years old.
In 1871 Charleston i>aved Summers
s|foe|< with building brick. These, of
course, were not to bo conirpared with
the hard burned vitrified brick used
for paving purposes today, but never
! theless they served .satisfactorily for
38 years. ?* -
The slate museum at Charleston has
on exhibition the first brick laid Tn
the street, from which not. more than
o.ne Inoh was worn in the generation
it served. In 1894<Quarrier street was
paved with brick and, although 27
years old. is still in good condition
today. The brick were laid on a base
of 3 Inches of sand, one inch of tarred
oak planks and a second .1 inch layer
ot sand.
