OUR FATTY.

Fatty Arbuckle fell from the public's favor, but
he is now apparently on the rebound.
He hit solid bottom, and it was generally supposed
that he would be condemned to lie on a hard bed
but his bouncing avordupois has put him on his feet
again.
He has come back as suddenly as he fell.
There isn't any doubt that he is on his feet again.
He's got a job and will begin work on making pic
sures. Whether these pictures will be popular or not
depends OF course on the sentiment OF theater-goers
AS soon as that scandal Of his carousng party in
a San Francisco hotel resulting in a manslaughter
charge against him, was flashed over the country,
the wires were hot with crypt little stories from
every hamlet in the land saying that Fatty's pictures
would hencetorth be taboo.
Now that he IS given a contract and Win Hays,
autocrar Of the industry, is inclined to give him !
chance 10 beat back" there is another ~plebiscite
being taken. The Associated Press wire yesterday
carried rhe verdict from four towns in the United
States, IRON Walla Wala, Washington, to Ardmore,
Oklahoma.
VIII his picturse be shown; That was the
question,
Ardmo,e and Montana said Yes. Washington
and Wyoming SAID NO"
But remember these votes are not the result OF
a poll OF tiester-goers. They only express the sem
hASh Va NA-sA hN~-"'
newspaper inquiries reached.
And neither was the recent and overwhelming
verdict Of thumbs down the outcome OF such a
vote.
Some newspaper or news organization got the
idea Of feeling the couutry's pulse. The scandal was
4 nasty story.
The newspapers, OF course, had no interest i'll
which way the ynesyers went on the subject, but the
manner in which tne inquiries were made, and espe-
cially the time a. which they were made, tended to
increase the "nayS.'
As a matter Of TACT il would have made a better
story if some theayer owner had come out and said
I'm not so sure about that. / don't intend to be
stampeded into any massed action. | spend a great
deal OF time in probing The likes and dishkes OF my
patrons. l think the thing 70 do in this instance is
what l have always done Oiter this and that to
my patrons in all effort 70 learn ior sure just what
they want. We cant populaI.ze the picture business
BY jumping on one fellow and boosting another 10
please q few, who axe usually the first 10 speak up,
and talk the loudest and Longest. Unless the booking
agencies stop offering Ls pictures ] will try one
and see what the people her. want. Ii the public is
disguised with Arbuckle, tasir yerdict will come to US
in no uncertain terms. They vii! simply refrain from
patronizing his performances.
Put, above ALL / say .sy the theater-goerS them
selves decide.
The newspapers and rs.ormers are only TOO much
inclined to decide the fats Of the moving picture
people"
In times past men wanted leave 10 speak their
minds" Now that they have it, few Of them are
inclined to speak their minds, and = great many Of
them haven't any minds, when it comes to thinking
things out ior themselves.
Free speech isn't going to survive unless We have
yome free thinking.
