Wallace Reid in Rail Story

One of Frank H. Spearmans railroad
stories serves as material for a play
featuring Wallace Reid at the Rivoli
this week. The title of the story has
been changed from "The Daughter of
Magnate" to "The Love Special" be-
cause the hero and the presidents
daughter take "a wild ride in an engine
IN the midst of blizzard which an
parently springs up in the middle Of
summer-the ride being necessary to
keep the villain from getting an option
on a right of way which is worth S12,-
ooo,oo0 to the railroad. Evidently the
story was written when railroads had
more money to spend for mountain
rights of way than they have today.
anyway, 1T serves to introduce Wallace
REID IN his notwithstanding hand

the costly right of way the young rail-
roader rescues some tunnel builders

out of the part of President Gage. and
doesn't make strenuous objection when
Agnes Ayres, as Laura Gage, drifts
right into a love affair with the Young
railroad engineer, portrayed by Reid.
Some of the scenic effects are excel
lent, and the story provides the sort of
harmless entertainment which its pro-
ducers had in mind.

Truce in War

Producers Say DR.. Crafts Is
at Fault; Reform Element
Moves for u. S. Board TO
Control Motion Pictures
Brady Protests New Step
Asserts Critic Failed to Abide
by Promise to Wait for
Film Makers Action

The armistice In the war for better
moving pictures, which was agreed to
recently following conference of Or.
Wilbur +. Crafts and group of his
associate reformers and William A.
brady, president of National Associa-
tion Of Motion Picture Producers, came
10 an abrupt end yesterday. Too much
haste and an independent effort to
make the cinema devoid Of sex or
crime themes on the part of the re-
formers, Mr.. Brady says, is the reason
for the break
Mr.. Brady asserted that Dr. Crafts.
who is superintendent of the National
Reform Bureau, had failed to stand by
an agreement to make no further move
toward Federal censorship pending ac-
tion to be taken by the producers
voluntarily. An exchange of kilograms
explained the situation. Dt. Crafts
telegraphed Mr.. Brady:
Producers, public and reformers
should help think out plan to compel
all producers and exhibitors to adopt
your new standards. SO I have given
the papers details of a plan for a Fed
erai interstate motion picture commits
sion in place of censorship"
Mr.. Brady replied:
Il am surprised to learn of the posi-
ton taken by you, in view of your
statement made at a recent conference
that you would not, for reasonable
length of time, advocate or encourage
censorship in the motion picture in
dustry, so that producers and distribu-
tors would have time to overcome your
objections to certain motion pictures.
DO you think you are fair to, in the
same breath, give details to the news
papers for your plan for a Federal
interstate commission? The sincerity
OF your statement at the recent confer
ence will be tested by your willingness
to confer with the producers, public
and other reformers before rushing
into print and stating your views"
Officials of the National Association
OF Motion Picture Producers say that
II they are given q reasonable time
they will put into effect the produc-
tion standards which they have adopt
ed. These standards include elimina-
ton OF themes "emphasizing and ex-
'aggeratlng sex appeal; commerciaized
vice; illicit love affairs; making virtue
odious: making vice attractive; ex-
hibiting nudity or near nudity, with
particular reference to bedroom and
bathroom scenes, or making drunken
ness and gambling attractive. Also
eliminating stories or scenes which
ridicule or depreciate public officials,
officers Of the law, governmental au-
thority, or which tend to weaken the
authority of the law, and to eliminate
stories which might offend any re-
ligion and stories and scenes which
show the use Of narcotics or portray
improper postures or attitudes"

haunted house and brings about his
appearance at the dinner, confounding
his fellow members who had dared to
suggest that laundryman should not
dine with a prince. And, of course, lest
1t be forgotten, FATTY" marries the fair
maiden, winning her because of his
valor IN rescuing the prince.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. PA man
legally executed, pronounced dead.
and then revived by means of pull
motor, could commit any crime
known to law, and not be liable to
prosecution and legal punishment.
The law couldn't recognize his ex-
istence.
He might walk into the court room
of the judge who sentenced him and
kill the judge who pronounced his
fate, and no hand could be laid on
him.
On the other hand, he would have
no protection under the law, no mat
ter what offense might be committed
against him.
This is one Of the phases Of the
legal question that has been brought
up since the attempts to resuscitate
into life the bodies of Sam Cardinel-
la and Nick Wanna, murderers hung
here ssrecently. The law is taking no
chances now, and bodies are being
held several hours by the authorities
after hanging an hour before they
are turned over to the dead mans
family.
Chicago jurists are divided over
the status of a person who might be
thus revived.
Judge Hugo Friend and Judge
David Brothers take the stand out
lined above.
Assistant State Attorney Lloyd
Heth declared such a complication
would free the man. "He could walk
out of the morgue, and the law
couldn't touch him. But he couldn't
marry and couldn't vote. If he were
beaten up by citizen, the citizen
couldn't be punished for. anything
more serious than cruelty to ami
mals.
There was an old theory that IL
the rope broke, the law was fulfilled
and the man couldn't be hung
, again.. said Judges Harry Fisher.
THAT idea is not according to mod
ern law. Either he's dead or alive"
