FILM HERO WORSHIP.
The capacity that human beings have for hero worship in the world of films is strikingly illustrated by a survey of film "fan" clubs just completed at Hollywood.
The most highly organised of them all is a girls' club in London formed by Dick Powell "fans," with its own clubhouse. There are 43 other Dick Powell clubs scattered about the world in Scotland, India, Bermuda, South Africa, Manila, the Straits Settlements and China. There is even one in Mandalay.
A Buck Jones club in the United States has the enormous membership of 3,000,000, all boys between the ages of eight and 18.
