HOLLYWOOD HIGHLY RESPECTED SAYS LESSER Sol Lesser, of the West Coast Theatres, Inc., now in New York City where he is arranging distribution for Jackie Coogan productions, and at the same time attending the executive meetings of Associated First national pictures, Inc., writes: "The general theory that New York regards Hollywood and its cinema industry in a bad light is absolutely untrue. In my two weeks in New York, I have thus far heard nothing but good words about cinema Hollywood. The rumors that New Yorkers were circulating stories that were harmful to the reputation of the West Coast picture colony are also false. Hollywood has always been looked upon with a great deal of respect from the eastern metropolis and that feeling still exists." Charles Chaplin has gone on an outing trip into the California mountains with a party of friends. (Camera Vol. 4 No. 32 p.8)
