HOLLYWOOD, June 17 – On June 21, Leo the Lion will have roared for 20 years, carrying many glamorous and popular stars to fame. When I came to Hollywood 19 years ago, this company was making itself known with Norma Shearer, who had only lately come from New York. Later she was to fall in love with and marry Irving Thalberg, brilliant executive, who had a great part in creating screen productions that were to give M-G-M an enviable place in the amusement world.
