Esprit of '76'' Film
Delayed as Federal
Inquiry Is Started
Author Of Picture Billed at
Town Hall Held Under
Espionage Act Following
First Showing in 1917

The proposed presentation at the
Town Hall Of the motion picture, "The
Spirit Of 49," the showing Of which
at Los Angeles in 1917 resulted in the
Imprisonment of Robert Goldstein, it's
author, under the espionage act, yes
terday again drew the attention of the
Federal authorities.
Coincident with the statement of
Assistant District Attorney John e.
Joyce that an investigation would be
made to determine whether the picture
reflected Objectionable propaganda.
James B. Kelly, business director of
the All-American Film Company, own
ers Of the film, announced that the
exhibition had been postponed until
some time next week. The picture was
to have been shown for the first time
in New York tonight. According to
Kelly the postponement was not due to
possible Federal interference but to
delay in the arrangement of the score
MIR. Joyce said his attention had been
called to the fact that the production
was the same that had caused the ar
rest of Goldstein, who is associated
with Kelly in the present venture. At
the time the film was confiscated, in
1917, the charge was made that it was
backed by proGermans for the pur-
pose of discrediting the British In
view Of the action of the Federal au-
thorities, Assistant District Attorney
Joyce said an investigation was war
ranted
Wendell McMahill, lessee Of Town
Hall, declared he had found nothing
Objectionable in sections of the picture
displayed in rehearsal.
ut is absurd to think for an in
slant" he said, chat anything could be
shown in Town Hall that is un-Ameri..
can in any respect. The film is being
assembled and titled, and when project
ed will be exactly as represented. 1t
is an historical romance, based on facts
in Fisk's History of the American Rev
olution, Stones Border Wars of Amer
lea and other authorities"
The feature which led to the indict-
ment OF Goldstein was scene portray
ing British soldiers in the act of bayo-
netting American women and children
at Cherry Valley.

Enthusiasm for Milk Week
Failed to Extend to Cows

George w. SIocum, president of the
Dairymen's League. announced yester-
day that there was shortage of milk
and a greatly increased demand for it,
owing to the warm weather and to the
enthusiasm for the beverage resulting
from Milk Week.
The trouble was that Milk Week was
confined to the cities. There was moth
ing to stimulate the enthusiasm of the
upstate cow. In fact, she is unusually
unenthqsiestic just now so far as milk
is concerned, because her pasture has
been dried up for lack of rain, and for
the same reason she is looking forward
to short rations Of hay during the
winter.
