WON OUT, GIVEN CHECK
Feature of theMovie Association
Gathering At Minneapolis,
This Week

Minneapolis. June 2S.-It was Mrs.
Pauline Dodge, whose home Is In a
small hamlet away up in the Green
mountains of Vermont, who fired
that shot that was heard around the
motion picture world and brought to
a head one of the most important
problems to come before the con-
vention of the Motion Picture Thea
ire Owners Of America which opened
in Minneapolis.
About 1900 picture theater owners
from all parts of the United States
were registered when the first session
of the convention was called to order
shortly before noon. Every incoming
train during the day brought more
of them, and officers of the organdza
ton predicted that the registration
would total more than 1000 before
night
The Producers outbid Her.
Mrs. Dodge, who ds attending the
convention, is a widow and a few
years ago she supported herself and
her family through a small theater
in MorrisviNe, vt. Morrisville is q
town of 800 inhabitants and Mrs
Dodge's theater seats $50 About a
year ago the refused to sell out to
one of the biggest producers, and
their agents secured the lease on hel
place by offering more money, she
said today.
In despair, Mrs Dodge said she ap-
pealed to the Motion Picture Theater
Owners of America for redress. With
in a few weeks its entire member
ship, $4,000. was enlisted in her be-
half. David Wark Griffith gave heI
free charge of Way Down East" q
film which was shown in Minneapolis
last winter. The Aim was being re-
leased about that time. The theateI
owners association rented the town
hall in Morrisville and took UP the
fight Mr.. Griffith sent his personal
representatives into the little town
and engineered an advertising cam
paign in a style that woke up all
Vermont Morrisville soon became
famous all over New England.
She Gets Theatcr Back.
The picture ran for week in the
Morrisville town hall and people came
for miles around to see the film. Mrs
Dodge said that the producers sud
denly changed their tactics and agreed
to allow her to have possession of the
little theater. r
Today when Sydney 8. Cohen OF
New York, president of the TheateI
Owners association, addressed the
convention he announced that the
producers had check for Mrs. bod
ge to cover her losses and the ex-
pense incident TO protecting her in
terests This check was to be pre-
scented to Mrs. Dodge today.

POOL HALL MANSORE
Executive Demands That Law
Be Given Support BY
Billiard Men

Mayor w. A. Beach held a meeting
with the pool hall proprietors Satur-
day afternoon 1t would apper from
what can be learned that the discus
sion was straight and to the point.
All matters pertaining to violations
in permitting minors to play Billiards
and pool were discussed, and 1t was
put UP in plain language to the pool
hall proprietors that If they cooper
ated with the city n the enforcement
of the law, that the mayor would be
the proposed amendment to the bill
lizard and pool ordinance, which would
increase the license fee for each
table from SIS per year to 500 per
year.
Mayor Was Dispieased.
According to the statement of one
of the pool hall men to The Free
Press, Mayor Beach was very out
spoken in his displeasure at certain
billiard and pool violations in the
past and is alleged to have answered
the pool hall proprietor that he was
living up to the law, by taking the
alleged statement: you are one of
the outlaws who caused the trouble
here. Don't fool yourselves into
thinking that Ihave not enough votes
" Pdoo IAlC Va uAhelAhNO, iOA now.
It is understood that some hot
words passed between the mayor and
this certain young man who answered
that the courts had proven that his
firm were living within the law, for
Ct had won its case in court.
Hatchet Was Buried.
The young man in making the
statement to The Free Press In re-
gard to the tilt between himself and
the mayor, said that he had at the
time resented 1t holly, for he had
never even been placed under arrest
for anything during his lifetime. The
term outlaw" he thought was too
far fetched, but then in the face of
the fact that Mayor Beach called at
his place of business later in the af-
ternoon and excused himself for be-
coming angry, the young man says
that he and the chief executive of
the city shook hands and buried the
Ratchet with the agreement that they
will CO. operate in UNFOLDING the law
in regard to billiard and pool playing.
