The Film War

From the torn-up ground and the
scattered gobs of gore, it IS evident
that the motion picture nagnates are
having a few words, with Los Angeles
as the battle ground.
To the citizens in the street 1t Is not
very clear what they are fighting about
Stripped of technicalities and stated IN
plain terms, the situation may thus be
summarized:
Adolph Zukor, about whom the battle
RACES, is the head of the great Para
mount Picutres Corporation. This is
essentially a releasing organization. 1t
acts as the n2iddleman between the pro-
ducers who make the pictures and the
exhibitors who show the pictures in the
theatres.
Some months ago there was a revolt
on the part of band of exhibitors
against the Paramount. They COM
planned against it on the ground OF the
programme pictures.
There is a custom which has been
long in tcrce in the motion picture
buy exactly wha pictures he chooses.
In a measure, he is compelled to buy
what pictures the great distributing
companies wish tc sell him.
For instance, to get Mary Pickford it
may happen that he is required to buy
programme Of pictures. many of
which he Goes no. care for.
As result against these conditions
an organization of exhibitors was
formed called The First National Ex-
hibitors' Association. In order to make
their revolt the more effective they had
to have a means of supplying motion
pictures of the first water. Whereupon
they entered into contracts with Mary
| D;ol- orJ h,,if
art, Norma Talmadge and other famous
stars whom they took away from Para
mount.
The battle which thereby started
threatened to become ruinous for both
sides
Two or three weeks ago Adolph
Zulor, the big boss of the Paramount
came to Los Angeles to effect q settle
ment. Mr.. Zukor's object was frankly
to form a trust which should include
the Paramount and the First National
Exhibitors. 1t was his candidly stated
intention to go back to New York with
the motion picture industry in his
pocket.
Fearing that the formation of such a
tlust would mean continuance or even
a development of the programme idea
five of the most famous figures in the
J picture world have suddenly started a
new revolt against both Paramount and
the First National. These stars are
D. w. Griffith, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary
! Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and "Bill'
! Hart.
Their contention is that the pro-
gramme idea compels them to carry a
great lot of deadwood in the form OF
poor quality pictures; that the mag
mates use them as a club to force the
poorer pictures upon the public, and
that the middlemen thus scoop up the
profits, unearned by them.
The stated intention of the new asso-
citation is to throw the film market wide
open; to bring about d condition where
by the exhibitor buys only such pict-

Mad Dogs Eat Human Flesh.
AT the outbreak the dead We're
buried almost as soon as they passed
away, but when the entire settlement
became i'll, the victims were left where
they died. those who had recovered in
the meantime being too weak to lay
them under the ground. Households
who had succumbed one by one were
left unburied, and the dogs, who were
unable to procure food because the
hunters had been all i'll, became mad
and entered the cabins, consuming the
flesh from the bodies of the dead.
When it became known that the epi-
demic was raging, some outside assist
ancc arrived, and an effort was made
to give the dead Christian burial. The
dogs, however, after consuming the
human flesh, became wild, and 1t was
impossible to undertake putting the
corpses in the frozen ground. The
next best thing was to bury the corpses
at sea. Before even this could be at
tempted the few remaining at Hebron
were compelled to shoot the dogs, as
even the living were not safe from
them.
While this horror of death and suf-

meant that the Eskimos were left help

n few emaciated Eskimos were found
to be alive.

Mr.. Perrett said that when the Eski-
mos were stricken. their mode of ljv-
