TERRIFIC ATTRACTION
THE KING'S POPULARITY. 1 TOPS POLL AT HOLLYWOOD. LONDON. The result of a newspaper poll as to who would be the most popular person who could possibly come to Hollywood is that King Edward was given first place, with President Roosevelt second, says a Press message. The King was placed first in the poll with a maximum of 100 per cent popularity, while President Roosevelt received 98 per cent.
"King. Edward triumphs in all lines," comments the newspaper which eonducted the poll. - 'His publicity value is surpassing, and, furthermore, it is dependable. As an unmarried man His Majesty is a romantic figure, which makes him a terrific attraction to the women of Hollywood. He is also distinctly a man's man, which would win all the inale fratel'nity." 7 Benito Mussolini comes out third, with 91 per cent of popularity, the Dionne quintuplets next with 88 per cent, their mentor, Dr. Dafoe, receives 70 per cent, and George Bernard Shaw 50 per cent. Adolf Hitler is given 00.00 per cent. Why one Fascist dictator should be so popular in Hollywood and the other so much the reverse is probably explained by the dislike felt in Hollywood for Hitler's Aryan policy.
