The pictures will have cost, when
ready for distribution, $3.50, 900. Pres.
ident Rock said that despite the ad-
verse sentiment that has sprung up
the pictures ought TO make barrels Of
money for the manufacturers. AL.

fered $4,000 for the pictures In his
theaters; an Australian promoter had
bid $4,000 for the exclusive rights
for that country, and the same offer
had been made from France. Both
offers were rejected as being 700 low.
A report OF the manufacturers
made this statement: mo effort will
be made to show the pictures in any
city or town where adverse action
has been taken. II will not be neces-
sary to get out injunctions, for this
combine does not intend to buck the
law in any city or town. We don't
think these pictures are any different
from those which have been display
ed of the Johnson.Burns and Johnson
Ketchel fights, but II we find that

we will lay them on the shelf and

The reason for this attitude on the
part of the moving picture men. 1t
