CHINA IN HOLLYWOOD
TARIED fish, bean sprouts, tubs of soy, Chinese sausages, and numerous other Chinese foods were used in an important sequence of Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer’s “Son-Daughter,” co-star-ring Ramon Novarro and Helen Hayes. The property department invaded the Los Angeles Chinese settlement and bought out the stock of two grocery stores. The products were placed on trays on the street in Chinese fashion. Baskets of shredded sharks’ fins, dried ducks, abalones and squids, trays of salted minnows and other fish beloved on a Chinese bill of fare, jugs of water, chestnuts in pans, mustard greens, and dozens of other comestibles were on display. The Chinatown street is one of the most elaborate exteriors ever built at the studios, with fully-stocked curio shops, jewellery stores, and other commercial houses.
