There is between Tom Reed’s alimony Hollywood's labor Not until you think about it. The same hypothetical average wage-earner from Reed’s troubles to Hollywood's, could read labor impassioned arguments that economies, if they by war losses of revenue, should come from the fat salaries of the movie higherups.

It's crazy, but it’s Hollywood. Labor thing, only they call it a strike. Hollywood, like the actor and the writer, is alw: on a show. It spends thousands of dollars for sup premieres, for ballvhoo. What seems wanton extravagance, oddly enough, has paid dividends, more than justifying the costs. You can find seeming extravagance in the private lives of many stars and higher-ups of the business. Nobody would argue hat Louis B. Mayer, the nation's top wage-slave, actually needs a string of race horses or that Bing Cro: requires a race track for his peace of mind. Errol Flynn doesn't have to support his boat Sirocco, and probably Edgar Bergen, in a pinch, could have saved the $500 he recently spent on McCarthy’s wardrobe. From the point of view of a “show”—and Hollywood has alw: found it profitable to run a three-ring circus—those “extrava- gances” are hard-boiled investments, entirely aside from the per- sonal satisfactions gained in each instance. (Aside, too, from the circumstance that every movie “luxury” spreads employment.) status, even though it unions do the same putting r-colossal In film production extravagance is rampant. Stories are bought and never produced, scripts are endlessly revised, pictures are sent back for re-takes. Hollywood’s pat answer is that the end, if successful, justifies the costs. Every gambler can’t hit the jack-pot Perhaps everything could be straightened out. No doubt some (not all) of the chance elements could be removed. Perhaps there could even come a day when $275 a week wouldn't be humiliating. ‘What would be left wouldn't be Hollywood, of course. It might be something better, but it wouldn't be Hollywood.
