CALIFORNIA AND AMERICA The moving picture captains of industry, like the California gold finders of 1849, making colossal fortunes in two or three years, have the same glorious irresponsibility and occasional need of the sheriff.

They are Californians more literally than this.

Around Los Angeles the greatest and most characteristic moving picture colonies are being built.

Each photoplay magazine has its California letter, telling of the putting-up of new studios, and the transfer of actors, with much slap-you-on-the-back personal gossip.

This is the outgrowth of the fact that every type of the photoplay but the intimate is founded on some phase of the out-of-doors.
