ASSOCIATION OF CITY

District Government Workers Max
ing Organization Representative
of Every Class and Grade.

The City Employees Association IS
growing rapidly. District government
employees are making this organlza-
ton truly representative of every
class and grade. Differing from many
unions. it is said that the ASSOCIATION
has succeeded in bringing about the
seemingly impossible, namely, bene-
fitting employer and employe and op-
tanning for the former better work
and for the latter better pay.
The fact that members of the as
sociation operate many of the utilities
which are essential to the life OF the
city is recognized by the executive
committee as trust: nevertheless: IL

association will continue to prove
advantageous for its members and the

Producers must recognize that the
capitalization of the personalities of
stars must give way to the capitaliza-
tion of brains, if the motion picture
industry is to progress to the stand
ard of perfection it justly deserves as
educator, entertainer and mo1der of
public opinion, according to w. w.
Hodkinson, who has been recognized
for several years a one of the leading
figures in the industry.
'The moving picture" said Mr.. Hod-
kinson. tis one of the greatest mold
ers of public opinion that there are
in the world. Its power for good in
this respect is unlimited. provided ef-
forts are made in the right direction.
The strides made by the industry in
the last decade have been almost be-
yond comprehension, yet the field re-
mains hardly touched.
Development Just Begun.
THE development of the industry
has only just begun. To make it stable
and place it on firm basis from
financial and drawing g-card viewpoints
there must be several changes, par
ticularly with regard to bringing
about conditions where the producers
Will be less dependent upon the per-
sonalities of stars.
Producers have been placing upon
the personalities of the stars too
much dependence, thereby becoming
subservient to them. The success or
failure of many of these concerns has
depended for the most part on men
and women who were fayorites with
the public and to whom enormous sal
aries have been paid When such
stars have left the producing concern
the monster organization built up at
enormous expense Immediately ex-
perierces a financial crash. The head
liners have gone and there are no
substitutes of such personalities as
to Offset the great loss.
What the industry needs for
further progress is the infusion of
more brains. Productions must have
more substance, SO that they will full
fiji their mission, They must be con-
structiye and play greater part in
bringing before the public current
events. They must show pictorially,
in way, that will produce not only
recreation, but also instruction, pic
lures bearing on events of the day,
thus acting as an educational agent
to the public among whom are mil
lions of illiterates.
Need Of All the Brains Possible.
'"ro bring about this condition
there must be gathered together all of
the brains possible. Without them
the industry will remain stagnant and
will have failed in it's calling. So
great has been the development of the
industry that Forward must continue
to be the slogan, and that can be
attained only by policies reaching
out for the presentation of pictures
which have in them higher ideals and
the stars"

sented to the War Department for its
official records of the war the film
made in America" which was pro-
duced by the w. w. Hodkinson Cor
