SUMMARY - A star studded inside-Wonderland picture of Hollywood's golden half century...a panorama and Who's Who of the film industry with over 50 photos....When young Frances Marion forst arrived in Los Angeles in 1913 to paint theatrical posters for Oliver Morosco, the city was-in her view---scarecely more than a provencial town. No Jew, actors, or dogs allowed" was the edict above numerous apartment rental signs. Miss Marion made up her mind to finish her job quickly and clear out. Instead, nearly two years later she signed a contract at the Bosworth Studio in a "drowsy little village called Hollywood" and began a screenwriting career that was to span half a century....In the course of her long and colorful career, Frances Marion knew all the greats of Hollywood's golden years, both the stars and the tycoons of a babulous never-to-be-fogotten era and her book is filled with entertaining anecdotes and personal reminiscences....
