Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 14, 1948, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press tuesday september 14, i94s Page s the Brijl Tish United press had a column the other Day in which she said that there is a Campaign on to Hollywood ize Hollywood this seems to me another Varia Tion of the Good old gag Abou carrying coals to Newcastle what miss Clary Means How Ever is that the suburb of Holly Wood needs a. Good old face lifting to raise it to the popular Conception of what the place looks like. One of the biggest face lifting jobs will be to Pep up the Corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. Most starry eyed movie fans have exalted ideas about this particular spot. They imagine that i is chock Lull of Glamour and tha they will see movie stars by the dozen pretty girls by the thous ands and that there will be plenty of whistling supplied by the Boyt who stand around there. The truth of the matter is that Hollywood Anil Vine is a croat great Deal Jess impressive than the Corner of main and Portage in Winnipeg and you Don t see As Many pretty girls. To give you an idea of what it looks like i la Tell you that there is a Chain drug store on one Corner quite Ordinary looking Bank on another a department store on still another and finally a modest eating establishment. If you did t know what it was you would t take a second look As you went by in a Street car. Heres what Hollywood is going to do. It will put up banners pro claiming the spot there will be Beautiful hostesses in information Booths and there will be an actor Ort hand each noon. There will be benches of that people can sit and stare to their heart s Content. It is on one of these benches that a Star will sit Dur ing the noon hour. After Star names furthermore James Nasser a movie producer and studio chief wants to name Hollywood streets after stars like d. W. Griffith Mary Pickford and others. The idea has Merit but it is certainly going to confuse then natives who have taken years a to memorize the geography of the place. They Rich re naming sixth Avenue in new York the Mary Pickford of the americas but everyone in new York Calls it sixth Avenue. The chamber of Commerce will most Likely Han Ray Ever visiting the place again but i must report in All truthfulness that geographically speaking los Angeles is one i of the least attractive places i be Ever visited. Los Angeles proper is crowded dirty and i unlovely. It has none of the i earmarks of a big City. It has nothing remotely resembling i Michigan Boulevard in Chi Cago or fifth Avenue in new York.

Admission 51.00 per person except saturday. 650 Pembina Highway pm. 44 597 they Are newer and cleaner. The Hills of Hollywood Are filled with Nice looking Homes and in the evening if you stand on one of these. Hills and look at the los Angeles lights twinkling for Miles around you get a big thrill. Whenever i go to los Angeles i stay Only a Block away from Hollywood and Vine and the Home of Richard Barthelmess is just Kitty Corner to me. I often of an evening trudge up the Street where the Hill starts and then look Down As a Rule however i go about my business and Don t take a Sec Ond look. At the Brown Derby As for stars you Don t see them on the Hollywood streets. You can see some of them you hang around the Brown Derby which is just up the Street from Hollywood and Vine and you can see even More of them if you move up the Street to the radio studios there at certain times the stars enter for broadcasts. The Best Price to see stars a year ago at my rate was Early in the or Early in the evening at Schwabb s drug store on the Sunset strip. The stars used to drop in there on the Way to work or on their Way from work. They eat at the counter thumbed through magazines and generally acted like anybody else who visits a soda counter. It May be however that Schwabb s has received so much publicity with a consequent Rush of papers on that the stars Are dropping in at some other place. They Don t relish anymore than you would being stared at As they sip a soda. San Francisco a unless you could get into the studios you d find Hollywood a pretty uninteresting place. For my Money san Francisco Only a mat Ter of eight hours or so away by train or bus is the most Beautiful City i be Ever seen. Even with its face lifted Holly Vood won t be so interesting to look at. Me i m Lucky enough to get into the studios. There s Glam. Our enough there but you la live to take my word for it.
