politics and has passed within the
control of Lasky. Fox, Zukor, Laem-

is to be exerted to obtain the repeal
and prevent enactment of further leg

The influence of motion pictures on
American life was emphasized by DR.

''and one OF the duties which is re-

DR.. Chase termed it injurious that
the man selected should have been
