"[p. 355] Irvin Cobb [1876-1944] has come recently to the film colony and lives at Santa Monica. Unlike most of the others, he brought his democracy with him, taking an impetuous role in the political campaign against his fellow author, Upton Sinclair. Cobb is a friendly soul and mingles with the life of the colony, no first-class soiree being complete without him."
