LIFE IN HOLLYWOOD
A PLACE OF HARD WORK FORMER HAMILTONIAN'S VISIT Mr P. W. Maddock, formerly of Hamilton, who has just returned to Wellington after visiting Hollywood, had much of Interest to tell his listeners when he addressed the Wellington Travel Club this week. He had not found any of the glamour that is always associated with Hollywood. It was a place of hard work, where the stars worked as hard as anyone. Some Idea of the immensity of the place was given in a description of one company’s studio. It occupied 180 acres, surrounded by a high wall. There were miles and miles of streets, and it had its own tramcars, a telephone exchange large enough to cope
with 25,000 people, its own police force of 150 officers and men, its own hospital, dental clinic, and schoolMr Maddock made his address very entertaining, giving anecdotes dealing with his adventures when exploring the sets, and describing the actors as lie saw them.
