Linke Hollywood To Hawaii Telephones

The ability to talk direct to

Hollywood from the heart of a Hawallan Jungle, was one of the modern conveniences which Cecil B. De Mille arranged for while filming his latest picture, "Four Frightened People." in the Islands.

Miles from the nearest telep- hones, De Mille installed his own telephone service on. two such locations connecting directly with the regular Hawalt exchange.

The telephones bore the num- bers "Hollywood 1" and, "Holly- wood 2," The executives were able to call De Mille and check over business matters direct with hlm during the one week in which he filmed in that vicinity.

Apparently the phone numbers were an admission on the part of of the Hawaiian natives that the Los Angeles city limits had been extended another 2000 miles...
