America 1919

The investigation of this matter was certainly going to take time, and Donnie didn't let Nucky investigate in Trenton city alone; he also repeatedly invited Dick to dinner, but the latter was tight-lipped, and Donnie didn't get any information he wanted to know.

However, at this time, the final day of the Miss America Pageant had finally also drawn near.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The biggest event during this period was the release of the documentary about the Miss America city qualifiers' finals. Once the documentary was released, it reignited a nationwide movie-watching craze. The preliminary round documentary only had a box office of $200,000 in its first week, but the city finals documentary garnered $300,000 US Dollars in its first week.

Furthermore, because the preliminary documentary was still showing, this incidentally led to a reverse growth in its box office earnings. However, the potential of the preliminary documentary had been almost fully exploited; the current situation can at best be described as a flicker before it fades out.

Therefore, on the day of the finals, the preliminary round documentary would officially end its run!

Of course, during this period, Atlantic City also saw the arrival of quite a few socialites, all of whom were invited by Starry Entertainment. Before this, they had no idea what Starry Entertainment was about, but that concern no longer existed.

Miss America had already become the most dazzling signboard for Starry Entertainment!

Socialites, aren't they just about going to well-known occasions in society to flaunt their presence?

In fact, Madeline was one of this type; if it weren't for Walker's connection, Donnie wouldn't have personally hosted Madeline.

Today, Atlantic City would welcome two heavyweight guests!

Even before the train pulled into the station, the outside of the Atlantic City train station was already packed with people. If judged solely by the number of people, the crowd this time even surpassed the number that came to greet Harding during his last visit to Atlantic City.

These two were currently the hottest male actors in Hollywood, Charles Chaplin and David Griffith.

When the two emerged from the train station and saw the sea of people in front of the station, they showed no discomfort, as they were already used to such situations.

The two opened their arms and, under the protection of the bodyguards arranged by Donnie, waved to the enthusiastic crowd and then got into the car and left directly.

"I'm deeply grateful for your visit, may I ask if you are satisfied with your accommodations?"

For his potential partners, Donnie showed the utmost respect.

Chaplin was very polite in exchanging pleasantries with Donnie, while Griffith was enthusiastic in chatting with Donnie.

"Mr. Block, I must say I listened intently in front of the radio to the entire process of you destroying substandard alcohol, and I must admit, I am truly impressed. I never thought the issue could be resolved in such a way."

Donnie was somewhat puzzled by Griffith's enthusiasm, but since the latter was so complimentary, Donnie naturally responded with a smile.

"I just hoped to use the most direct way to let the people of the United States understand Atlantic City's attitude toward substandard alcohol. Atlantic City is a beautiful city, and I wouldn't want any incident to tarnish its reputation!"

"That's true. Sometimes what the public needs is just the truth, an attitude. Unfortunately, many times, many people fail to see these things!"

Griffith, having transitioned from an actor to a director, producer, and even now a business owner, had already displayed that, despite his refined demeanor, he was also a person with strong convictions.

In fact, after becoming a director, Griffith had made several films with a critical nature.

It could be said that Donnie's previous actions had not only surprised Griffith in the business aspect, but he also greatly admired the acts themselves.

"I hope this incident can serve as a lesson to those people!"

However, Donnie did not wish to discuss social issues with Griffith too much, so after a brief response, he smilingly introduced Jessica Dole, who was at his side, to Griffith and Chaplin.

"Gentlemen, this is Miss Jessica Dole. Although she did not make it to the final round of Miss America, she is a young lady our company values highly. We are also preparing to introduce her to Hollywood to play some roles. Since both of you are titans of the film industry, how about you give us some advice?"

In fact, during this time, Jessica Dole had been very nervous, worrying that Donnie would go back on his word.

But today, she was finally reassured. Just last night, Donnie stayed at her apartment, and today, he had brought her to meet Chaplin and Griffith. Even now, Jessica Dole felt as if she were in a dream.

Hearing Donnie introduce her to the two of them, she immediately put forth her most graceful demeanor, "Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Griffith, hello. I have always been a fan of you both and hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future!"

Chaplin might come across as arrogant, but he was not ignorant of social niceties, so even though he still considered Donnie's previous actions opportunistic, at this moment, Chaplin still displayed his grace.

"Miss Dole has a very good image, but what Hollywood is never short of are girls with good images, so if Miss Dole wants to make it in Hollywood, she still has to learn to be patient!"
