BOARDOF REVIEW IS
FOR ARBUCKLE films
National Body Says Justice
Demands Actor Get
Chance.
DECISION Is WITH PUBLIC
People to Rule Whether Co.
median Is to Continue
Screen Work.
DECISION is WITH PUBLIC

The National Board OF Review of
Motion Pictures. 70 Fifth avenue, yes
terday issued the following statement
relative to Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle:
$50 many inquiries have reached
the National Board of Review of Mo-
titude regarding Will II. Hays's res
toration of Roscoe Arbuckle to an ac-
tive place in the motion picture world.
that, unable TO answer them individu-
ally, we are taking this opportunity
OF issuing the following general state
ment to the public:
"The National Board at this time
reiterates its position first taken when
word came that Mr.. Arbuckle had
been banned from the screen In Amer
lea.
opinion that Mr.. Arbuckle, having
been tried by jury Of his peers and
found innocent of the charge brought
against him, justice demands he
should be allowed to go before the
bar Of public opinion. The National
Board is still of the firm conviction
that It is for public opinion, and pub
lie opinion alone. to accept or refuse
Mr.. Arbuckle .2s o public entertainer.
The soundness OF this attitude OF the
National Board is fully upheld by the
conflicting opinion in regard to the mat
ter of Mr.. Arbuclslo's return 10 the screen
which is rushing in from all parts of the
country. The fact that everywhere there
are widely differing views Of Arbuckle's
accepta liability is only further proof of the
tallacy of attempting to force upon the
public. with regard TO motion pictures
or anything else for that matter. either
censorship or a Dictatorship.
THE general public's feelings, needs
and wishes constitute the only criterion
which can safely be considered as ade-
quately expressing the thought OF the
people in the case of Mr.. Arbuckle's re-
turn to picturee. It is the people in the
last analysis who will give him the
chance or regainine their favor. 4 he is
to be given that chance at al.
THE, National Board holds no brief
for Mr. Arcuckle personally. The fact
Is. his pictures have been consistently
free from questionable matter. We arc
glad that the public and the club womer
OF the country are so alive TO their power
10 formulate and express verdict. which
when 1t IS rendered will unquesii siionably
reflect wholesome mindedness and the
tlist Ice 10 which eXery on. is cntiiled.'

RAILROADS STRAINED
BY HOLIDAY TRAVEL
Thousands Leave City as Thou

Celebrate.
ALL TWO SECTION TRAINS
100000 People Crowd Grand
Central Station-Othcr Ter
minals Jammed.
ALL TWO SECTION TRAINS

It looked yesterday as though most
of New York had taken its suitcase in
hand and started off for holiday time
out OF town. The number of travellers
was reported as the largest ever
known in the history of Pullmans, par
lor cars and coaches. But the space
left vacant by the outgoing throng
was, however, so quickly filed by the
Incoming crowds that by night time
the city seemed apparently as thickly
populated as ever.
More than 10000 people passed
through Grand Central Terminal dur
ing the day, according to the official
estimate At the starting points, Of
the Pennsylvania. Erie, Lackawanna.
Lehigh, Long Island and other rail-
roads similar rushes were recorded.
Never were so many railroad tickets
punched In single day as between
10 "A. NJ. and r. NJ.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officials
reported lOc per cent. Increase over
any ordinary days travel. They simply
did not have enough equipment TO handle
the crowds. Every available car ias
commandeered TO meet the demand. but
still passengers we're unable to get berths
and chairs.
Trains Run i'm Two Sections.
Almost every outgoing and incoming
train was run IN two sections. Travel
to Washington, Philadelphia and At
lantlc City was particularly heavy, Moro
than 800 extra trains. either specials or
sections to regular trains. entered or
left the sheds during the day. Ordi-
narily there are twenty-five daily trains
between New York and Philadelphia.
For the week end rush this service was
increased by thirty. making fifty-five
trains between here and the Quaker
city.
Besides the regular trains leaving the
Grand Central Terminal there were lsO
extra Pullman cars. run as special trains
or added to the regular trains. Many
OF the incoming trains arrived in two
sections or were specials.
"The number of passengers that
passed through this station Friday was
10000" said one Of tho New York
Central officials "Thc normal number
during the winter Is 100000 daily and
during the summer about 10000. To-
day we had our largest number. 10000.
I'VE estimated from the Friday crowd
that we would need twenty extra trains
for outgoing travellers to-day. but before
10 A. NJ. the demand for accommoda-
tions was so great that the schedule
was increased to thirty extra trains.
Heavy Week End Travel.
Much Of this travel is made up OF
week end holiday pleasure seekers.
though the Pullman travel is SO heavy
that seventy extra sleeping cars
were required. Short haul travel Is
largely TO Syracuse. watertown. Roch-
ester. Burlington. VT. and intermediate
points. Winter sports drew "a large
crowd 10 Lake Placid"
AT tha Offices OF the Jersey Central
lines II was reported that the increase
was 30 per cent. over last year and that
it was necessary TO run the Lakewood
specials in two sections.
The Erie Railroad Company officials
reported an approximate Increase of 90
per cent. over the same period OF 1921.

The length OF time we remained in
