Fl NJ. WARNER, president of
- Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc, has
challenged the recent statement given
the press by Thomas A Edison in
which the inventor advanced the be-
lief that there is no future for a talk
ing and singing motion picture de-
vice. or any chance for it's sustained
favor with the film-going public.
In contesting the electrical wizards
predictions that singing and talking
pictures are only n novelty, Mr.. War
ner, whose company is interested in
the Fitaphone. cites the success and
the popular acceptance of that inVen-
ton as indicating that the talking
motion picture is already an enduring
improvement to film presentation not
to be dismissed as a mere novelty of
momentary interest
ut is not a pleasant task to take Is
sue with Mr.. Edison" Fl. NJ. Warner
said. But in the interests of prog
ress and justice il is only fair to say
that his statements as recently head
lined in the newspapers are unwar-
rantedly preiudiced, as he is undouht-
eddy unfamiliar with exactly what the
latest device for SynChronizing sound
and action has accomplished.
THE inventor states that Is years
ago he created a talking picture, but

discarded 1t as having no permanent
value. 1t probably had no value at
that time, as MIR. Edison had not at
his command in that day the things
that go into the making of modern
talking picture device. Today we
have among other aids radio and the
public address system. so that an idea
that was abandoned Is years ago as
impractical is today a perfection.
Talking pictures are not n mere
fancy any more. They are n fact. not
theory. They are a realized dream
achieved by scientists who have been
working on the idea for many years.
They are here TO stay and may be con.
sidered as one more step in the prog
, ress of film making. just as In the
earlier days of the industry one-reel
stories slowly evolved into five-reeI
features, contrary to emphatic predic.

A MOTHER great story of United
States history is to be made by
Warner Bros. as their further contri-
button TO the living drama of America.
1t will be THE Romance of the United
States Mail" an idea suggested by
Jack l.. Warner, in charge of produc-
ton at the West Coast studio Of the
company. Already, it is claimed, the
Post Office Department has signified
it's intention of getting behind the pic
ture.
1t is to be a big epic OF the mail
service, which is chock full of ro-
nance, but SO far hardly touched
upon. 1t will take in all phases of the
service from the time of the pony eX-
press riders of the old Wells Fargo
days up to the present airmail planes
speeding across the continent.

always has been the backbone of

How They May Line Up.
The line-upS:
MARSHALL STRIVING
TO BOLSTER QUINT

Following close upon the heels of
Center Jude Maesman, the 6-foot
5-inch rookie from Portsmouth,
Ohio, came the report today that
Owner George Marshall is beating the
bushes around New York and New
Jersey to find reinforcements for his
Washington basket ball club, which is
struggling to get out Of the throes Of
early season reverses.
Manager Ray Kennedy, who is in
Paterson, n. j., with the Washington
quint for an exhibition game tonight,
has been ordered to make desperate
efforts to line up one or two expert.
enced center men, of whom there are
several now playing in the Metropoli
tan League. opposition circuit Of the
American Basketball League.
The going of Baesman. who is en-
titled to six days grace before he must
turn in his uniform, will leave Wash
ington with only another rookie CEN
ter to plug up the gaping hole in the
teams defense and attack. The latter
is 5ChiZmadia. the husky youngster
from Trenton, n. J.
Neither Baesman nor Chizmadia is
OF big league caliber. in the opinion Of
critics, although ChiZmadia is slightly
more experienced than the Westerner.
Marshall stated today that he was
sorry to have to release Baesman. but
that with the Capital five trailing in
last place he had no other alternative
If he hoped to strengthen his club.
The tall Portsmouth lad was highly
praised by Marshall for his willing.
ness to learn and fighting spirit,
however.
The release of Lou Schneiderman,
ex-Philadeiphia star, takes effect to-
day, thus leaving Washington seven
players, including young Butch"
Meyers, who has yet to make good.
With Chickie Passon and Willie
Carey still on the injured list, the need
for repla cements at forward or guard
is apparent. and Marshall very likely
will strive to locate another player
besides center.
Tomorrow night Washington clashes
with the Celtics in the first of two
game series in New York. the first
game being listed for the Arcadia in
Brooklyn and the second game on
Monday night in Madison Square
Garden.

BAR BEYOND FIELD.
AFFECTS DROP-K|CK
Shift to Former Position Is
Held Necessary to Re- !!
tain Booting. i
. THROUGHOUT the country there

tn THROUGHOUT the country there
is n general desire that the
goal posts be- restored to their
l. original position on the goal
line. There may be places
whore their present location is viewed
with some equanmity, but only West
Point has said so. -. .
Elsewhere the feeling Is that the
art of dropkicking will die if the posts
are permitted TO remain where they
axe, and that over and above this the
game has lost a pronounced dramatic
quality, which the presence of the up
rights ut the goal line used to supply.
Chick Meehan. the New York Uni
verSity coach. says that the players
feel this. and it is certain that the
spectators do. The rules committee
should carefully take note Of the trend
of feeling in this regard throughout
the country. Admittedly all the rules
changes made last Winter were ex4
perimental No great fault has been
found with any of them. save the set.
ting back of the posts. and it will be
n good thing for the game If the COM
mittee gracefully restores them to-
their former position. i
If there is any feeling that the POSTS
endanger players. as they do, tnisi
peril easily can be obviated by having
the posts set back and the cross-bar
project out on struts over the goal
line as was done in the West and in.
some college eridirons of the East in
former sea sons. Is
The loss of the dramatic quality Isl
of course, more or less an academic
matter. but the decline in drop-kicking,
is serious, and steps should be takens
to return the field goal to its formers
important position in the game. II
