Hollywood Sights And Sounds | - By Beobbia Coom - > e HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 20.—This long after it happened, it seems possible to realize that it did happen—Hollywood's large- scale personal appearanee in a little Kansas Town named Dodge City. Certainly nothing like it ever happened before. Certainly the tom-toms and boom+-booms of the celluloid town, noted as you know for their reticent, insistent silence, have never sounded forth with such' attention-compelling. blare. Hollywood (in Hollywood’s complacent way) naturally expected to “take” Dodge City, a town of 10,000 history-conscious souls;’ The amazing thing about' it, and more amazing in retrospeet, is that Dodge City also “took” Hollywood. Stars who take it in stride when they see mobs of pop-eyed fans waiting to greet their regal presences were pop-eyed themselves when they ‘looked out the Santa Fe special's windows and saw—not only Dodge Oity~but .

It sounds | huge, but statistics tell us also that | we should have a minimum of 132,- | 000 beds—about one third more than | we actually have. Even this does |not tell the full story, for the beds |now available are unevenly distrib= {futed. In certain areas, the minimum has been reached and in a few ex- | ‘ceeded.

There are 1,775,000 persons living‘ | And it is something, believe it, to see folks like Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan, the Lane' girls, and Jean: Parker, genuinely impressed by a greeting. They've all, as you know, had ‘em before. 'But Dodge City—it seems that the Warners:made a movie based on its turbulent history—put on a show that all but stole the show from Hollywood. ‘The junket was not without its lighter moments, naturally.

The first touch of humor was felt at Pasadena when M ©.'de Havilland was taken from the train by the call of movie duty, surprising the studio hosts no end but surprising no one else one whit, everybody having known that she hadn’t planned to go. At a little desert junction called Rio Puerco, the high point of unconscious hilarity was reached. The special passed the west- hound Super-Chief here, and the idea was to “kidnap” the Warner president, Harry M., therefrom and take him to Dodge. The thing went off beautifully, with the delightful spontaneity that always gives the photographers time to set up on the scene. Dozens of pictures were taken—thousands, or enough to fill all the picture magazines for months were shot during the trip—with all the stars and celebrities, while amazed Super-Chief passengers peered from their windows, incredulous at this unbilled, unherglded desart mirage. ~ After which, Mr. Harry Warner returned to his train as though nothing had happened, sped west as before. More seriously, Dodge City’s welcome and the amazing recep- tion given the cavalcade at way stations enroute, was a revelation to Hollywood. Only a few days before departure I'd had serious talk with a Hollywood cynic who referred to movies as a “dying industry.” The cynic had good arguments—or so it seemed thén.’ But any industry whose glammer boys and gals can arouse the citizenry of so many" towns-to cheers and star-worship isn't- dying:—
