tice William Fenimore Cooper, Of

ter Of enjoining the city of Chi

production Of Griffth's Birth of

Justice Cooper's decision is in
teresting totally aside from the
particular film to which II related
for the reason that he discussed
the matter of Individual opinion as
applied to public entertainment
features generally and in a sense
ridiculed the idea that has become
popular among a certain class that

There is a combination of COM

Of the court that Is rare In case
of this kind. Curiously enough
there has been no effort made on the
part of the film interests to utilize
this feature Of the decision In their
fight against restrictions. 1t would
seem to be very valuable ally. Its
context follows:
'..The citv contends against the is-
