LABOR FILMS JUNGLE
DURING MEAT STRIKE
Photoplay of Sinclair's Novel
Completed as Screen Is Adopt
ed for Propaganda.

Nc ton picture circles here yesterday
discounted a report that labor unions
would cease to support the motion pic
ture producers in Their fight against
film censorship, impending in this State
at tbe next session OF the Legislature,
because of a threatened break with the
producers through "A reduction of the
wages OF studio workers at Los Angeles
and the establishment of the open shop
ther". The workers, it was believed
would oppose censorship. not only be-
cause they went on record 10 that et-
feet in their last State convention but
also because IA Dor unions have gone in
for film production themselves.
1t was learned yesterday that they
have taken up the screen as q means
OF propaganda and have just completed
a photo play. This is called "The
Jungle" and is based on Upton Sim
clairis novel of that name which at
tained wide notice a dozen years ago
1t is said to have been produced in the
East here with trade Union backing by
an organizati ton called Labor Film Ser
vice. Incidentally. il was learned that
large packing houses. having heard of
this film, are considering the production
of dramatic picture TO present their
own side of the case and counteract the
effe < Of this labor product.
Meanwhile preparations are going on
In the film industry to overcome the CEN
sorship statute, though optimism does
not run high as to the result for the
present session. The line of attack of
the leading manufacturers. it was
learned, will be radically different from
that taken at the session when the law
was passed. Here a representative of
the Famous Players-LaSky Corporation.
whose experience was financial rather
than productive, left a loophole for CEN
sorship advocates to use against the
business lie cited the fact that Jesse
i. Lasky had just enunciated fourteen
points to which directors must adhere in
keeping new productions from offending,
as an indication that film concerns were
trying to clean up the business them
selves.
The line of attack that will be taken
at Albany soon by Goldwyn, Famous
Players, Universal and others of the
leading companies will be that the CEN
sorship board has shown of itself that
the films do not require such SUPER
vision.
Representatives. of both the New York
Society for the Suppression of Vice and
of the Lords Day Alliance exprassed

PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.

Lawson Purdy, who was member of
the commission which prepared the zon-
ing ordinance, believes that the archi-
tectural beauties of New York city need
no embellishment in the form of eye
piercing advertising legends. Mr.. Purdy
brands the commercial illumination OF
Broadway as hideous and disgraceful
and declares that it will be the object of
attack in tho next campaign to improve
the appearance of the city.
No we are not going to yield to the
temptation 10 observe that Mr.. Purjy
apparently doesn't believe in signs, but
we are too weak to resist the chance of
recalling that old yarn of the English
man who. when told in round numbers
just how many individual lights were
used in one of Broadway's most popular
electrical displays, replied: "Remawls-
able, but isn't 1t rawtha conspicuous?"
II Mr. Purdy's prediction comes true
and electric signs are eventually prohib-
tied il will be a sad day for writer's on

of the picturesque in their lives as Il is.
