The Moving Picture Industry,s Handicap

The association of Postmaster General Will H.
Hays in some capacity which has not been clearly
explained, with the moving picture industry has at
tracted to that industry the attention Of the public
which had previously concerned itself only with the
pictures they thrown upon the screen stories
OF fancy salaries paid artists and reports OF the
Midas wealth Of those connected with the industry
in even humber capacity
We have since heard though that the movie peo-
pie have their troubles the same as the rest of us
Arizona republican., 1922-01-21

and they are casting about to get rid Of them. In
way they hope that the executive genius of Mr..
Hays will afford them relief. AS matter fact it
turns out that there has been comparatively little
organization business in the industry. There
too much money in it from the beginning and it was
too easy for practically man, and child
in the country became willing contributor and is
yet in still greater measure, and always will be.
We may say there are as many people in
America who patronze the movies there peo
pie who eat bread and they willingly pay more for
pictures than they do for bread So great has been
the patronage and so Niagara like the volume of
money pouring into the business that 1t has
had time opportunity for organization Naturally
money tossed to the winds Of heaven in the
reckless manner-princely salaries which could not
be earned, the feaping Of hordes of middemen the
wild expenditures of artists" Only the other day
we saw the picture Of costly automobile which
little Jackie Coogan, aged or Z, presented to his
mother Christmas, at cost of two weeks salary
But conditions have been fashioning themselves
that demand organization and retrenchment. Pro-
prieors OF moving picture houses have been report
ing signs of public revolt against the prices which
the houses compelled to charge to the cost
Of all this extravaganza in the studios and the
pacity Of producers and middlemen.
Probably the public would take 1t out in COM
planning but relief is promised from unexpected
source-foreign competition. We have just noticed
in Financial Survey of February stock brokers'
comments in which in relation the OF Famous
Players he pointed out its strong position in spite Of
the handicaps of the industry among which were the
long term contracts with stars fancy salaries.
But the much serious and threatening one:
rs German competition, the films coming from
abroad being much superior as far as plot and pho
Biography concerned and much lower in cost Of
production"
There is what the American moving picture in
dustry has to face-foreign excellence and foreign
thoroughness. There ridiculous salaries paid
stars and there money is not thrown at the birds
makers content with reasonable margins of profit.
To meet this menace either the business in
America must be organized business basis or else
it must be given protection that will be protec-
ton of continued wild extravaganza which must be
paid for of the pockets of the people, We do not
daer nout the whole people of America to perpetu-
ate this extravaganza.
We will suppose that those who furnish US with
bread should be equally wasteful and Indifferent as
the quality of the product. Would congress dare
to protect the flour mills and the great bakeries in
would be anxious to furnish us better and cheaper
bread?
The moving picture business in America must
work out it's own salvation.

AMERICA OPPOSES
STRAIT COMMISSION
Believes Dardanelies Should Be Actually
Free and Guarded by
Treaty.

LAUSANNE, Dec. 20 ASSOCIATED
Press On the eve Of what threatened
to be critical day in the life of the
Lausanne conference, Ambassador Child
last night had a long conversation will
Ismet Pasha' about the Straits problem
which Lord Curzon yesterday declared
must be disposed of Immediately
1t has become known that the Ameri
can observers at the conference believe
that an international control commits
sion associated with the league of ma
t1onS, as suggested in the allied plan for
supervision of the Dardanelles, is unnee
essary. In other words, the Americans
believe that freedom of the Straits should
be an actual freedom guaranteed by. a
treaty between Turkey and the other
world powers. and that it should not be
a freedom limited by an international
commission.
The American observers have 50 far on
the conference floor limited themselves TO
statements of the most general terms OIL
the Dardanelles question, without sug
costing as To how the Straits should be
kept open 10 the commerce of the world
and to the fleets of the powers. Neither
has there been limitations of America s
attitude toward an international board
of control
Allied leaders last night served notice
that the Turks TODAY must either fatty
accept or reject the allied project for set
lieHitAt OI the STRAITS question. Failure
| OF the Dardanelles negotiations il il be-
lieyed, win hardly affect the other prob
lens which the conference was called TO
| solve.
Although there was uncertainty as to
whether Ambassador Child as the Ameri-
can spokesman would voice the Ameri-
can views at todays' meeting, it is under
stood that every delegation claims to be
cosnizant of the fact that the naming OF
an international commission. meets the
strong disfayor of the American observ-
| ers.

KENNEWICK has just started a
n nice large city park. All they
have, so far, is the land but they will
plant trees this spring and in about
ten years their park will be ready for
the people to enjoy. A landscape
gardner was sent over by the State
College and the park will be laid
out scientifically. A little care and
lots Of patience is all that will be
needed for about ten years.
Sunnyside has nothing but a vague
and very faint desire to possess the
blessing of a good big park. Up here
we don't know how to go at it. 1t
seems impossible to get the people to
pull together on any piece Of construc-

up from Kennewick to tell us how it
is done.-Sunnyside Times.
