A Shakespeare Needed
For the Movies, Says
Reinhardt

THE Russians are not the only ones
who take the movies seriously
who consider that films are not lux
ury but an absolute necessity, and
therefore the best writer's should not
hesitate to consider the moving pic
ture as an outlet for their sincere eff
fort. Max Reinhardt, the noted Ger
man director, who is widely known as
an authority on such matters, takes
up the cudgels for the screen, and
insists that the moving picture art is
only in its infancy, and will develop
further when the advanced writer's
take to the movies to express their
views, and at the same time serve as
an outlet for their talent.
why should not the screen become
the instrument of a genius who will
be able to write veritable master
pieces for an international audience ?"
says he. "Why should not Shakes
peare come for the movies? In their
time Shakespeare and other great
writer's were, too, handicapped and
had to write plays that were ordered.
They had to please certain classes
just as scenario writer's and directors
are doing now. The pinnacle of NOV
ing picture art will be attained, how
ever, when a real genius is able to
adopt the same subject at an oppor-
tune moment to all minds.
ut is not absolutely certain that
the genius will be an American, the
land where screen art has every ad-
vantage of great technical perfection,
the most beautiful studios in the en-
tire world and unlimited financial re-
sources. But we must admit that
each time that film artist, no mat
ter in what country, seems to prom
Use to become a genius of the movies,
America doesn't hesitate to invite him
and to give him the means to achieve
his career!"

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The new
officials of the Cleveland club are
learning just how hard it is to as
semble a winning baseball team at
the annual major league meetings.
Billy Evans, general manager, has
placed all but four players on the
baseball mart and has yet to COM
plete a deal after three days of
dickering and pickering.
A deal of minor Importance be-
tween the Senators and Indians was
pending today as the majors went
into their fourth day and unless it
goes through the Indians may not
swing a deal this week.
Washington offered Joe Judge,
first baseman, to the Indians, but
the players to be received in ex-
change is presumed to be holding
up the deal.
The Indians we're to have figured
in the Tiger-Brown transaction
which sent Manush and Blue to
the Browns for Harry Rice and Van
Glider, but somebody slipped the
trade over before Billy Evans was
ready.

Minors Make Racket at
Major Meeting; No One
Is Satisfied.
JUDGE HEARS TROUBLES
Walter Hagen Stymied in
Rochester Club Deal.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The ma
jor league may be meeting, but the
minors are making the racket. Each
session of the Misunderstanding COM
mittee, joint and private talkfests-
has been overshadowed by the men
ace of the minors.
Both the American and National
Leagues coasted through their own
simple problems without trouble,
but both were forced to spend most
of their meetings here consider
ing what is to be done about the
insurgency Of the minor leagues
concerning matters of the draft.
The complicated machinery
whereby ball players are shifted up
and down and back and forth
through the various vehicles of the
national pastime never has worked
to every ones satisfaction. Just
now no one seems to be satisfied.
While club owners prepared for
the formal joint meeting at the
Hotel Roosevelt, Judge KeneSaw
Mountain Landis found upon his
doorstep this morning a delegation
of minor leaguerS bent upon talk
ing turkey.
Every minor league representative
in town was summoned to the meet
ing. The minors, of course, are by
no means unanimous group. They
have as many grievances among
themselves as they have against
the majors.
The three double A" leagues, In
ternational, Pacific Coast and Amer
lean Association, had planned to
steal march and call upon the
high commissioner today. But the
representative of the smaller
leagues found out about it, and
everyone interested made for the
judges suite at the Roosevelt.
Lands had to hear the troubles
of the minors and then go to the
joint meeting of the majors, which
made it pretty full day Of baseball
for the judge Meanwhile, the
International League was holding its
schedule meeting at the Commo-
dore.
The question of Walter Hagen's
$4,000 came up at the International
meeting.
Walter, the peerless golfer, de-
cided he would buy himself ball
club. So with the backing of some
Detroit people, Hagen made first
payment of $4,000 on the Roches-
ter club.
And then the Detroit people de-
cide1 they didn't want to play any
more and left Walter out on a limb,
stuck for his $4,000, and making
vain but vigorous attempts to dig
up the rest of the purchase price.
