It is not worth mentioning the fate of several foreign and American actors and directors who went to Hollywood with the reputation of distinguished artists. It would be an exaggeration to say that all of them have been crushed by the machine, but happy exception undeniably have been very few. The intelligent public, however, cannot but feel disappointed at the blasting of its hopes for higher standards of art from Hollywood. Hollywood kills talent, kills it because huge, soulless organizations can neither tolerate talent nor understand it.
