LOS ANGELES-For a town th at can
trace its moving picture beginning to the
Penny Arcade the city fathers are gett ing
plenty uppity as evidenced by a recent
outburst of one J ohn B. Kingsley, pres·
- ident of th e Hollywood Chamber of Com-
merce.
Zukor, Laemmle and half a dozen other
big shots in th e fi lm capitol started out
via the Arcade route but Kingsley would
rather forget that and put a ban on the
Arcade as far as th e dazzling Hollywood
boulevard is concerned.
At a meeting of th e Police Commission
on March 7th Kingsley strongly protested
the renewal of a Penny Arcade license
next to the USO on the boulevard. The
USO joined Kin gsley in stating that if
an Arcade was continued on th e boulevard
it would hurt the hi gh character of business
along the street.
Apparently th e parties concerned d0'1' t
remember that pit shows, snake ex hibits
and the like recently rented' swan ky fronts
on th e boulevard and medicine doctors
pitched their wares in vacant doors_
