The mystery play, of course. is

there was much uncertainty. In these

BY HALLETT ABEND.

7 OS ANGELES. Calf, February g.
Joseph NJ. Schenck, husband of
Norma Taimadge, Is emerging as the
man of the hour in motion picture pro-
ducing circles here. and will probably
be the business head Of the new asso-
citation of Independent big stars who
are following the lead Of Douglas Fair
banks and Mary Picldord in rebelling
against what they call "maciline-rnade
pictures"
Mr.. Schenck, who this week paid
$6,000,Oo0 for a one-ffth interest in a
chain Of 105 theaters in California, and
who only recently paid 81, 100000 for the
controlling interest in the immense
United Studios. formerly known as
Bruntons, admits that ne has been IN
final conference with Fairbanks and his
associates on the new arrangement.
Independent Stars.
This admission means that the inde-
pendents will have features by the fol-
lowing stars to offer exhibitors: Doug
Talmadge, Constance Talmadge, Buster
Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Pola Negri,
Harold Lloyd and probably Charles Ray.
d. W. Grfnth also will be aligned with
the stars. The alignment Is particu-
larly strong in comedy stars-Chaplin,
L
Fairbanks would rank with the come
dtans rather than with serious actors,
so that where man stars are concerned
the list Is weak in romance or serious
stars. That Valentino will finally land
with Schenck is not doubted by those
here who are in the know and Chap
lin will bring with him into the new
fold the new series of serious plays in
which he personally is directing and
starring Edna Purviapce.
Opposition to Censorship.
Frank opposition to meddlesome CEN
sorship is part of the plan of the big
Independents, Mr.. Schenck admits, and
he says that if necessary the list Of
stars will be augmented to assure y
complete f1fty-two weeks a year release
circuit, and theaters will be built or
leased where necessary to exhibit their
films.
II say without hesitation that in the
great majority Of instances censorship
organizations are selfishly conceived and
selfshly conducted" Mr.. Schenck de-
clared. even such men as Rockefeller
gave financial support to the censorship
movement at first, but Rockefeller dis
covered that the movement was being
diverted to selfish channels and then
withdrew his backing. Within reason
