The Problem
Hollywood, which has everybody in the country looking over its shoulder, from the U.S. Congress to small-town ladies' clubs, sometimes feels pretty sorry for itself. Last week The Screen Writer ran a want ad:
"Established writer would like a good up-to-date idea for a motion picture which avoids politics, sex, religion, divorce, double beds, drugs, disease, poverty, liquor, Senators, bankers, cigarettes, wealth, Congress, race, economics, art, death, crime, childbirth and accidents (whether by airplane or public carrier); also the villain must not be an American, European, South American, African, Asiatic, Australian, New Zealander, or Eskimo ... No dogs allowed. Apply P.O. Box 13 . . ."
