CINEMA BREVITIES.

There are several scenes in Vita graphs "The Usurper'' laid in the tower of a castle of an English estate that is said to be haunted. and James Young, who directed the picture, has come to believe that the jinX in the fictitious tower moved it's spiritual self to his set when the picture was being made. A number of scenes call for the fnterpose of a mysterious woman who prowls at night in the haunted tower. It may be that James Young is a very exacting worker, or perhaps he demands that which is i'm possible of achievement, but he says that in his vast experience in pictures he never had as much trouble getting a scene just right as he had on these interposed scenes. But at last he got the effect and the jinx was off.

Rev. Waldron Writes tho Bee.
Editor, The Washington Bee.

EultOr. Inc washington bee.
III your issue OF April 10th, 1919
under your report of the Mass Meet
, ing held at The metropolitan A. M.
l.. Church on Tuesday night last,
you say: REV. DR.. Waldron said,
among other things, that the school
teachers Of Washington had Il wor Sc
name than any other class OF people
i'll tho United States; that their con
duct out Of the city during the Vaca
ton period was the cause"
l made no such statement on last
Tuesday night nor at any other time
What l did say was mis-: "Washing-
ton has the worse reputation among
our people Of any other lars> city in
the country, and one reason why
this is so, is because OF the conduct OF
I certain public school teachers here
and in places where they spend their
vacation. We ought 10 get rid Of
these immoral tc2chcr3 in order to
protect our CHI ldrcn and parents and
the good teachers and to redeem our
city from the odium that rests upon
it,"
I expected that my address would
be criticized or misunderstood ana
for that very reason, | took SPECIAL
pains in preparing it and committed
it to writing and delivered it as / had
written l..
Further on in the report Of the
meeting Tho Bee says: "Mr. Chase
stated that he wanted to correct the
statement made by one Of the speak
ers-Dr. Waldron-that the Washing
ton teachers have worse name or
any in the country"
As I made no such statement ana
as Mr.. Chase did not call my name
at the time liz cl@imcd to be answer
ing my statement and I had no idea
'he was refClr ing to me, | made no
rejo.ndcr as 7 would surely have
done had / Understood that Mr.. Chase
was directing lis rem arks 10 me.
In closing, permit me to say, l
have had at no time any hing deroga
tory to say about our public school
teachers rs body. During my
twelve years rastoratc in Washing
ton I have taken special pains to
show myself q true friend TO the
teaching corps in our public schools;
I have cspouscd their cause in public
and private whenever any matter for
their welfare arose, and in The mass
meeting held in my own church on
Monday. April 18th and in The first
mass meeting held in the Mctropoli-
tan a. M. e. Church / stated that;
"The large majority Of the public
school teachers Of Washington are
worthy, competent and of the high
est character and that the few un--
worthy and immoral ones among them
should be condemned and dismissed
: for the protection Of the decert teach
. crs and the safety Of our children"
and I could not and did not condemn
our public school teachers as a body
on last TUESDAY, night.
