Suggestions about "Organized Labor's Re
ply" published Monday, March the 18th, 1921:
In this full page article which was published
in the Chickasha Daily Express on March 18th,
1921, by order of the Trades Council, a commit
tee of citizens is invited to investigate facts
with reference to the Early Hotel matter and
the Boycott" against that place of business.
The committee who prepared the statement
published and signed by many citizens OF
Chickasha believe that instead of a committee
of citizens with no legal authority, a full and
complete statement of all facts should be pub
lished in order that the citizens of Chickasha
may know and understand conditions; this
committee fully realizing that the verdict Of
the entire public is the final decision on a mat
ter pertaining to public interests. When the
public are fully informed in plain terms and
without evasion or ambiguity, the Public will
then determine the matter much more salts
~factorily than a committee, therefore the fol-
loving suggestions:
FIRST:
It is said in "Organized Labor's Reply"
that the resolution quoted therein was not
adopted by The Trades Council, but that on
March 3rd a representative of the Culinary
Workers Union reported that Union people
and friends of Organized Labor were boarding
at the Early Hotel. A committee was then ap-
pOInC0Q 10 HOCIIy UHo uHlOu pcOPlc dHu l. Clluo
of the union people of the conditions existing
at the Early Hotel. WE THEREFORE SUG-
GEST THAT THE TRADES COUNCIL AID
WISE THE PEOPLE OF CHICKASHA THE
NAMES OF THE MEMBERS OF THAT COM
MITTEE AND ALSO WHAT THE COMMIT
TEE WAS INSTRUCTED TO SAY TO UNION
PEOPLE AND THEIR FRIENDS.
SECOND:
In "Organized Labor's Reply" it is said
that a few firms and individuals have been boy
cotting the Labor Unions for some time. WE
SUGGEST THE TRADES COUNCIL IN ALL
FAIRNESS TO THE PUBLIC, SHOULD AID
WISE THE PEIPLE OF CHICKASHA THRU
THE PRESS THE NAMES OF SUCH FIRMS
AND INDIVIDUALS AND EACH PARTICU-
LAR INSTANCE.
THIRD:
It is said in "Organized Labor's Reply
that as long as the boycotting was conducted
against Organized Labor conditions were ideal
but when Labor proceeds to use the same wea-
pom, conditions become perfectly horrible.
We understand this statement to mean that
Organized Labor proposes to enforce a boycott

of making Chickasha a bigger, better, and a
cleaner city; to promote the spirit of co-opera-
ton and harmony among all classes of citizens.
WE SUGGEST THAT THE TRADES COUN-

Old Family Carriages
Regenerated for Film Play


NLD carriage shops (there are still
" few of them lefty and museums
were ransacked for their oldest car
riages for the George Fitzmaurice pro-
duction, "Peter Ibbetson," now under
production in the Lasky Eastern Stu
dos.
For days property men haunted old
storerooms and finally succeeded in OBJ
tanning nearly a dozen horse drawn
vehicles of the types used in England
in the Victorian era. Broughams,
coaches and victorias were brought out,
cleaned, repainted, and in most in
stances, repaired, for they had depre-
in dusty shops.
One brougham was the property Of
the Vanderbilt family, of New York,
two generations ago. The carriage
doors still contain the family monogram
in gold. A coach, employed by Mr..
Fitzmaurice in the earlier episodes of
the picture, is Of the type used through
out Europe and America in the frs,
years of the nineteenth century. 1t was
from this type Of conveyance that the
Western stage coach was evolved.
The coach used in "Peter Ibbetson"
was found in Montclair, N. j., the
property Of family which has owned
1t since the days of Andrew Jackson.
The coaches and smart carriages ap-
peared effectively in the picture in the
exterior scenes of Covent Garden, Lon =
don. The Covent Garden sets were
built from photographs and paintings
which appeared in the London Graphic
and the Sketch at the time of the action
portrayed.

MOST of the prominent directors N

ing for organizations which give ther
the say as regards the selection of their
stories.
In either case the director become.
directly responsible to the public for
what he presents on the screen. Tins
to my mind, the greatest problem Of ths
modern director Is the matter of giving
the public what 1t wants in the way Il
likes best.
The best director today is the man
who is most sensitive to the desires ~
the public. The most unsuccessful al.
rectors of today are the men who 20
blindly ahead, placing their own ideals
foremost regardless of whether they nro
ten years ahead of or behind the public
Realizing that his greatest problem il
to give the public what It wants, ths
director is next confronted with tho
situation Of how and where he is to ret
this material.
TNHE wild rush for famous books and
L plays has at last halted due to the
fact that producers are beginning "a
realize how foolish is the tremendous
expenditure for such material. In most
cases such stories as are purchased ara
changed and revamped until not even
the title remains. The epidemic among
producers to get famous stories at any
cost has boosted up the price for such
material to point where it is no longer
good business to buy this material. This
Is brought about by the fact that the
price for stories of this nature takes so
much money from the appropriation on
a picture that the balance is not sufh-
cient TO stage the story properly.
Producers are seeing the light M
last. If they will stand pat, prices on
this material will come down to a point
where their purchase will be within
! reason.
PERSONALLY, I have always been
l. against the outlay OF small fortunes
in order to get popular story material.
The time has come when the most prom.
inent authors Of the day are now writ.
ing directly for the screen.
This move is the most sensible effort
to get the best motion picture mate.
| rlal Jnat mas ever Decn maze since the
inception of the business. 1t is also the
cause for the downfall of the eager
scramble for high priced books and
plays.
The director who is not able himself
to create story after story for screen
presentation--and very few ars--must
then look to the recognized authors Of
the day for his story material. To q
certain degree he can encourage new
geniuses among the public and in the
business and perhaps find an occasional
gem, but for the backbone of his lit.
erary supply he must look to the recog.
nized writer's.
uAVING the fundamental material
IL from this source, the director must
then depend solely upon his own capa.
bilities in presenting this matter to the
public in the most acceptable manner.
AS a matter Of course he must have
a capable cast and technical staff. These
are his brushes, the story his colors
and the screen his canvas. The day Is
at hand when the director receives the
chief criticism.

Find Stock Company Best
for Casting PhOtopldyS

MORE than two years ago Goldwyn
AN1 engaged a number of well known
actors and installed at the Culver City
studios a stock company known as the
Goldwyn Repertory Co. The idea, in
it's actual working out, is so successful
that the arrangement is being contin-
ued. Instead of having to hunt up the
players for every part in new produc-
ton among the actors then at liberty
in the film colony or importing players
from New York, II any were at the
moment available, nearly every role can
be apportioned out among the stock
players, just as is the case with stage
stock company.
Occasionally a suitable player for a
certain part is not found in the com
pany, but in at least nine cases out of
ten the casting director can find the
player right at hand. This saves time,
annoyance and expense. Furthermore,
the players become accustomed to acting
together; they learn each others pccu-
liarities and know how to act up to
them or to soften them down.
COME of the players in the repertory
~ company were unknown to the
screen world when they joined the or
ganization now they are screen favor
ties. They have appeared in the casts
of the biggest plays that Goldwyn has
made, in the light of comedies, anC
