Hollywood is a suburb of Los Angeles where some large canneries are located.<br><br>They put their product up in round, flat boxes shaped like, and about as big as, a cheese.<br><br>John Barton Hunter - which was not his real name - worked in one of these canneries. He made money, above two hundred grand per income tax. That is when the making was good.<br><br>Back when he was tender, Hunter had been a newspaper reporter, and ever since affected the soft, big leaded pencils. They dirtied his hundred-dollar suits.<br><br>He had been an actor, and still watched what effect his words had on audiences, down to one. He strutted a little when he walked. He pronounced words too correctly. Otherwise he was a good egg.
