MOVIE INDUSTRY
FEARS INVASION
BY WALL STREET
Five Thousand Delegates in Atlantic
City to Work for Better
Coordination.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sunday-Rep-
resentatives OF five thousand motion pic
ture theatres in the United States are as
sembling at the Traymore Hotel tonigh,
to effect an organization and adopt a pol
icy of opposition to the invasion of the
motion picture business by Wall street
or. rather. those groups represented by
Wall street.
Recently. it is charged. there appeared
to be deliberate process whereby finan-
ciers of national prominence were buying
up stock in motion picture companies.
1t also is said this invasion represents an
investment of $50. 900 900, although many OF
the delegates here tonight believe this
figure is an exaggeration. They do not
think Wall street has more than 100000
in the movie game"
It has been charged that financiers were
attempting to ''sew up stars of the screen.
a more serious view OF the situation is
that there is danger that in time Wall
street will have so tight grip on the mo-
tion picture business that nothing that Of
fends big business" may be shown on the
screen. One of the leading spirits declares
there is danger that anything attacking
the so-called beef trust or other alleged
combine would be deleted by an inexor-
able censorship.
There is a dual representation for the
conference that will begin tomorrow. One
set of delegates represents the organiza
ton known as the Associated First Ma
tional Pictures. which controls the me-
chanical function of distribution. The
other set represents the Associated First
National Theatres. whose members attend
to the exhibition Of standard picturees in
theatres
There is Q feeling of uneasiness in the
indvstry. and a naturalization will be ef-
fected tomorrow or Tuesday. There will
be one central body that will look after
the services OF stars and the distribution
of films.
This means we are beating Wall street
to it, delegates say

JOHN ALDEN CARPENTERS
NEW SYMPHONY PLAYED

While tho age OF symphonies seems to
be passing with other formalities of the
nineteenth century and making way
for the symphonic poem. from time to
time good symphony is written. One
Of these, an American work by John
Alden Carpenter, of Chicago. was played
yesterday at a concert Of the Symphony
Society in Aeolian Hall under the direc-
ton of Walter Damrosch It was COM
posed in 1917 and was heard in its FIRST
year at the Litchfield County Choral
Unions festival in Norwich. Conn, and
in Chicago.
The symphony bears the title Sermons
in Stones" 1t is introspective, modern in
it's unconventional harnonies and not
too formal in it's outlines. Mr.. Carpenter
is one of the three or four best American
composers. but he has not yet completely
found himself His symphony has many
fine passages. There is an abundance of
melody and cleverIy managed harmonic
treatment, but it does not fit together at
all Of the joints. There are too many
sermons, and not all Of them are di-
verting.
He starts his movements strongly, then
inserts bit of sweet melodious music.
then ends them more or less unconven-
tionally. On the way he treats his hear
ers to many exquisite touches. There are
few broad melodies that set off his SYM
phony as exceptional from a melodic view
point, nor is there much original orches-
trail color. 1t is merely good music, writ
ten by a. clever musician, who every now
and then exhibits a bit of harmonic color
ing or a catching rhythm that sets him
out from the mass of composers.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Carpenter has unusual
talent and he should become popular
with symphonic audiences His "Adven-
lures in Perambulator." heard a few
seasons ago, attracted wide attention, and
a new ballet from his pen will be pre-
sented in New York by the Chicago
Opera Company next month.
Benno Moiseiwitsch. brilliant Russian
pianist, was soloist yesterday. His offer
ing was Tcherepnines unfamiliar concerto
for piano, opus 80 The orchestra was
heard also in music Of Smetana and Wag-
ner As usual the audience filled the
hall.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
NEEDS CATCHERS
and First Basemen Giving
Managers Chief Worry for
Coming Season

Seldom has there been such a dearth OF
good catchers In the National League as
at present. and seldom SO many veteran
first basemen whose major league careers
are nearing an end with few capable un-
derstudies on hand to relieve them. With
the possible exceptions of Chicago and
Cincinnati, every club in the league is
anxious to obtain at least one dependable
baclSstop and scarcely knows where to
locate him.
The high ranking catchers in the league
may be counted on the fingers of one
hand and some OF them have to be given
the benefit of the doubt at that. Bill Kill
Ilefer, despite his ten years service, still
stands at tho top. Ivy Wingo, of the Reds,
who has also played major league ball for
ten years. Is rated high. and Bill Rariden,
Iof the worlds champions. may also be
included In the select circle. although he
has given signs OF a dwindling efficiency.
Add Lew McCarty. Of the Giants. who did
not live UP to expectations last season,
and tho list Is fairly complete. A glance
lat tho total roster OF backstops in the
,leaguo appended below will fail to reveal
ANY other catcher of particular br.r.ance.
With possibly ono or two exceptions the
veteran first baseInen did well last sea
son. Merkle. Daubert, Chase, Miller and
Konetchy surprised many experts who
predicted their failure before the close of
the season. Fred Luderus, of the Philiies,
Indicated that he has not far to go as a
regular. while neither Safer nor Mollwitz,
of the Pirates, gave complete satisfaction.
Walter Holke, of the Braves, the young
est Of the regular first basemen. showed
the most impressive all-around ability.
The Giants appear to have a youngster
in George Kelly who promises to eclipse
Hal Chase before the end of the 1920
pennant race, and the Phillies have
Paulette as a substitute for Luderus 1t
behooves the rest of the clubs, however,
to lose no time in developing first base
men as well catchers of major league
calibre, or find themselves suddenly with
one or two decidedly weak cogs in their
baseball machinery.
Snyder and Gonzales, the catchers Nc
Graw obtained from the Cardinals, both
had poor seasons in 1919. Both batted under
zoo and their fielding was nothing to
arouse enthusiasm. Earl Smith, the
younSster. was not called on often, but
may be ripe for regular duty in the COM
ing pennant race.

basemen in the senior league follows
