LEADING STAGE
WRITER'S WAR
ON MOVIES
Financing Of Productions
for Screen Rights
Cause of Action.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-CP)-Lead
ing playrishts of America have locked
horns with motion picture interests in
what they describe os death strus-
gle for the future Of the American
stage.
At a secret meeting yesterday of AZ
dramatists, plans were laid for the
fight and a committee appointed TO
carry them into action.
The step was taken because William
Fox. motion picture producer, is try
ing to finance New York producers Of
plays in exchange for film rights.
The dramatists interpret this as an
attempt to corner the play producer
market and say they are facing des'
perate situation.
Maurice Revnes, Fox production
manager. admits that offers have been
made, but refuses to name the pro-
ducers, Broadway gossip name five
of the largest producers on the
Rialto,
THREE COURSES OPEN,
If the deals are closed and other
motion picture producers make SINH
lar agreements to protect themselves
against Fox, the playwrights argue
they will find themselves with a mar
ket limited and controlled by four or
five concerns.
Claiming Pollock, author of many
stage successes. says that, aside from
the official action decided upon by
unanimous vote at yesterdays meet
ing he and several other leading all
thors would cease to write for the
stage unless the matter was salts
factorily settled.
While the action decided upon was
not made public. veterans of the show
business said that only three courses
are open 10 the authors. The first
and most feasible. they claim, is for
the dramatists to join the American
Federation of Labor in order TO ally
themselves with the Actors Equity As
ISOLATION and its 10000 members.
