Excerpt from Film Folk: "Close-Ups" Of the Men, Women, and Children Who Make the "Movies" As a detached, but interested, observer he watched the moving picture industry grow from its crude beginnings to the huge thing it has become, and during all those years he wondered why some one of the great army of publicity men employed by the various studios did not splash in and tell the truth about the film folk, finally concluding that it was either that their familiarity with the truth had bred contempt, or that the companies, for some strange reason, had employed only fiction writers.
