"MOVIEDOM"
GOSSIP OF THE MOVIES
(By Myron c. Fagan)


Broadway, or that part of the Gay
White Way which is devoted to the
Movie industry, Is in more or less of a
panic over the report from Washing
ton that the Smith-Hughes bill, calling
for Federal censorship of Moving Pic
lures was submitted to the House
Education Committee by Chairman
Hughes. It Is said the committee
passed upon 1t favorably and will so
report 1t to the House next week. This
makes Federal censorship almost a
foregone conclusion. AS matter of
fact the writer of this column was in
Washington few weeks ago and was
reliably informed that the bill would
be passed despite the opposition of the
Moving Picture producers.
The Smith-Hughes bill. although
modified in form, is just as broad and
drastic as was the original bill. and
will undoubtedly be just as objection.
able to the Motion Picture Board OF
Trade, because 1t provides for pre-.
publicity censorship. The objections
Of the Moving Picture Board Of Trade
win. however. carry very little weight
with the Congressman who. with his
ear to the ground. realizes that his
constituents ~ . whole. are In favor

RICHS OWN LETTERS PROVE HIS AFFIDAVITS TO
BE A TISSUE OF FALSEHOOD
Another Chapter in the Fletcher
Campaign Of Mud, Money
and Misrepresentation

The Bean letter contains all the facts
and is full, clear, and comprehensive
statement concerning the trade made be-
tween Rich and Bean.
Remember that Rich terminated his
services with Senator Page March 4,
1911. Nine days later, March 10, 1911,
he wrote Senator Page in this language.
"If you want me with you in Wash
ington during the coming session, want
to come, and will be willing to come at
the same basis as during the last ses-
sion"
But this is not all, for still anxious
to again enter Senator Pages employ
he wrote him under date of April %,
1911, five weeks later, as follows:
"Have you got your committee assign
ments so that you know how much help
you are going to want? If so, and you
need me, | shall be ever so happy to
come. You know ! like the work in
Washington and like to work for you
1t is inconceivable that Senator Page
should have agreed to pay Rich $4,000
per month as he claims, and that after
paying him $50 per month for such serv-
ices as he rendered between January |,
1910, and March /, 1911, that Rich should
write Page as he did March 10, 1911,
asking that he be permitted to come
back Eat the same basis as during the
last session"
