THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY torney, who made the following state ment this morning: “In the early edition of the Exom, iner for Monday morning there ap peared on the first page thereof an interview purporting (o come from my which was never in effect given “This Interview never took ploce and there is not a word of it that have eyer authorized to be printed, tor did 1 have the slightest intima tion, directly or indirectly, (hat It would be. “There is not a sentence that con-| tains my exact language about any- thing. It is composed of some things that I have uttered in substance. ‘There are some half truths, many ab- solute falsehoods.

"His increasing moodiness and my | “mother’s unwillingness that I should | marry a man so much older were con- | {ributing causes to the broken be-| trothal, and I feel sure he did really | love me, I was very fond of him,” she said. “The checks which Mr. Taylor gave me from time to time all can be explained.

STORIES OF ITS WILD REVELS Men Who Have in Hollywood at Last Awake to Danger to Industry in Public Re- volt Against Scandals. By Lindsay Denison. Can ‘Hollywood be morally furml- gated? Or must It be wiped off the movie business map as a nuisance, as a farmer intyht burn down a vermin infested barn before putting up a new The question is not one for Holly- wood to answer. Its residents have forfeited the right to ask their em- ployers or their employers’ customers to have any confidence in their judg- ment, taste or scif-restraint. culture and mannerly behavior and good’ morals as they show In the films is derived from the mouth of a papier mache megaphone at the lips of a movie director. Without education— or at least any education which has affected them more than superficlal- ly—without antecedents or traditions of social or Intellectual standards which are worth while, without any, guidance toward such things except when ‘‘on the lot,” they would not know how to keep out of disgrace, even though they made promises to be 004, ' The decision is with the tensely worried men who have millions and millions of dollars invested In the business of making moving pictures and showing them to the American people and who have spent many of these mililons in Hollywood, These shrewd and far-seeing men—who have proved they were far-sceing by taking the lead when moving pictures, were regarded as a passing diversion to bo shown to vaudeville audiences at low cost to the management—are beginning to realize the need for a radical decision regarding the con- tinvance of Hollywood as a movie centre. They know the great mass of the American public 1s clean minded almost to the point of prud- ery, which is nothing but the state of mind of wanting to be thought more clean minded than one is, They know that the great American public partly satisfies this craving for out- ward and visible propriety by ap- pointing censors and starting local “cleaner movie" agitations among civic leagues and mothers’ clubs. | THE “SEGREGATED” CITY OF LICENSE AND VICE. The movie magnates have known almost from the beginning that the moral and social atmosphere of part of Hollywood—the part of it which stirs the curiosity and interest of newspaper readers—was of a sort | which would “hurt the business if it rot out.” But they regarded the Los Angeles suburb as a segregated city | Such lowed by mutual consent, the decent movie actors, of whom there were) many, keeping silence and merely | turning their fo away from the foolish and the vicious; tie silence of these conservative clean-living work= ers in the guild could be counted upon ‘or the good of the business;"? they would not raise an outery which would cut off their incomes. But this confidence that Hollywood could go its own gait apart from tho rest of the world was based on one fallacy. There is no censorship on j news out of Hollywood, Newspupers were bound to get hold of the excesses in the mere spending of moncy, aside from the excesses in the satisfaction of the uppetites of persons who had money - more thousands of times more money—t n they knew how to | spend decently. This dian't frighten the magnates. But they that they did not foresce—unerring students of the human drama as they boast them selves to be—that such things could not go on without crossing the line between foolishness and criminality und that sooner or jater another kind of publicity would result; that they would confront’ the publicity which starts in stations, morgues and offices of the dis- trict attorney and the cells of repent- ant convicts.
