 The American Bar Association meeting at San Francisco is talk ing a good deal about the consti- tution. The constitution is un- doubtedly an excellent instru- ment. as the lawyers say it Is. The constitution gives equal pro- tection to rich and poor, as far as constftutions can.
 No constitution successfully protects the rich man from over eating. the divorce courts. goat glands or prodieal living. Rich : men must do that themselves. No constitution protects the poor man from idleness. alcoh o1fs1n, late hours or other follies. He must do that himself.

 The constitution does the best 1t can to make courts what they ought to be.

A STATEMENT BY THE CIRCLE THEATRE MANAGEMENT
OF IMMEDIATE IMPORTANCE TO THE PUBLIC

This is the day of epochal films productions on a
tremendous scale have run the costs into the millions
AS an example Robin Hood, starring Douglas Fair
banks, which will appear on the Circles regular pro-
gram-cost over 100000 to produce-and it's
worth it, The cost to us of exhibiting this picture
will run well into five figures!
Other pictures of equally high merit will be shown
at the new adjusted regular although in many
other cities the admission prices range up to So.
The Circle has no fuctuatng price policy. It does
not advance prices in any one week because the at
traction might make it possible or because the ex-
pense of that week might be unusually high-but
price policies based annual cost of production.
We acknowledge with deepest gratitude the splen-
did support and inspiration you have given to hold
steadfastly to the highest ideals.
When matter of principle faced us we didn't hest
tate. We did as you would expect to do-announce
"a change of price, but no change of policy" We

IT HAD TO COME!

We were faced with a condition-not theory!
Either the abandonment of the Circles policy to
present the best in the cinema art musical entertain
ment, and features was necessary-or change in
price.
Since the inception of the Circle it has upheld the
finest ideals in the motion picture field
It is matter of record that the pictures selected as
"best" in national reviews and in local newspaper
summaries WERE in the vast majority of cases. pre-
scented at the Circle. If New York, Chicago, Los
Angeles or any other city disclosed anything superior
in programs or presentations, we equaled or sur
passed it
The augmented concert orchestra, the installation
of the marvellous $4,000 organ and the requirement
of vtuosotaent to bring forth the full glory of it's
tonal grandeur-were natural resultants of the Cir
cles dctum, that the best is too good for In
diana Indianapolis and our patrons
AS business men-we state in all frankness-that eN
attendance and the frequency of standing only
the admission charges are inadequate to cover con
production costs.

the corporations interested were planning
to distribute their surpluses in the form
OF big stock dividends before the end OF
