BATTLING JIM FULLY.

|HE editor OF Photoplay Maya
zine, James r. Quirk. publishes
a ringing editorial in the cur
rent issue of his journal, IL
which he denounces Jim Tully
for the latter's Scathing remarks on the
subject of John Gilbert. 1t occurs to
Mr.. QuIrk that Mr.. Tully is a bum
sport. an migrate and one who is none
too reliable when it comes to telling
the truth.
The Jim Tully article that inspired
Mr.. Quirk's ire was printed in month
lv magazine. It said of John Gilbert
"A man of neither education nor ca
pacity. he is more opinionated than
Elinor Glyn, and less profound" 1t
also contained other remarks calculated
to damage Mr.. Gilbert's reputation. but
these we're surrounded by the careful
Mr. Tully with quotation marks and
credited to an anonymous witness in
the Metro-Goldwyn Studio.
Jim Tully's character studies of vari-
ouS prominent Hollywoodites have all
been violent. not all of them have been
derogatory. as in the case of John Gill
bert and also Of Charlie Chaplin. Mr.
Tuny has managed to collect few en-
thuSiaSms during his stay in the Citadel
Of the Cinema.
I don't know most of the celebrities
OF whom Jim Tully has written. I see
them or their work on the screen. but
their private virtues and frailtieS are
beyond the limits of my jurisdiction.
Consequently I have no desire 10 rush
10 their defense. as Mr. Quirk does.
when the brawny author assaults them.
AS matter of fact, I have derived
eon1e pleasure from Mr.. Tully's brutal
naulings Of certain sacred idols. They
are welcome relief from the species
Of slop that Is usually dished out by
the magazine correspondents in Holly
wood. It is highly probable, as Mr..
Quirk intinlates. that many Of Mr..
Tully'S statements are untrue. but SO
are most OF those uttered on the other
side, by the sob sisters, and Mr.. Tully's
Misrepresentation of fact make for
much more interesting reading.
I doubt that any one takes these
virile and virulent compositions of Jim
Tully's with any great degree Of serious
ness. His deliberate self-consciousness.
his carefully applied inconoclasm. his
synthetic bitterness are all Just a shade
too obviously pfoney TO be creditable
When he writes Of people and expert
ences with whom and through which
he has lived Jim Tllly is legitimately
authoritative and inpreSsively forceful
But when he attempts 70 investigate
the hothouses Of Hollywood and TO de-
scribe the exotic plants that bloom and
wtfher therein. he becomes Just as alb
surd sensation seeker, Just as much
OF an outsider looking in. as are the
sob sisters whom he abominates.

Marines to Stay
In Nicaragua
Ry United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, March T. The
senate foreign relations committee
voted unanimously in favor of con
tinuing the marine occupation of
Nicaragua. The expression of pol
icy was made in q decision direct
ing Chairman Borah to report ad-
Versely to the senate the Heflin
resolution which would have direct
ed President Coolidge to withdraw
the marines.
Borah declared later in a state
ment that the United States had
sent marines to Nicaragua to guar
antee fair election and that the
Republican and Democratic mem
bers of the committee believed the
marines should remain until the
election is held.
"Speaking for myself I want to
see us get out of Nicaragua and
stay out,'' Borah said. "But /
know of no way to do so decently
and with justice to all parties eX-
cept to hold that election.
"To withdraw at this time not
only would leave the entire machin-
cry of the election absolutely in the
hands of the conservatives but
would leave the Liberals perfectly
helpless to protect themselves eth
cr in the election or against the vio-
lence of their antagonists, Borah
announced.
"What ever may be our views
with regard to matters transpiring
prior to the Stimson agreement, the
agreement places an obligation on
lis which we cannot at this time es-
cape.
"I think the entire committee
would like to see us get out of Mic
aragua. If we could hold fair
election and recognize a government
from that election there would be
some chance of getting out and
staying out.
''It is my judgment that the Lib
erals constitute rs or so percent of

believe that if a fair election is held
tho Liberals will succeed. Backed
up by the people of Nicaragua and
by our reorganization there is hope

COLOR line"
INTRODUCED IN
ROW ON QUOTAS
by United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON, March Tile
color line was brought into the
house immigration committee hear
ing on the Rox bill today.
nr. II. II. Laughlin of the Carne-
gle institution urged that immigrat-
ion and naturalization be restricted
to persons o. not less than 31-32
white blood. This provision, he sug-
gCstcd, would meet the fact that the
1924 immigration law does not in
clude American countries in its res
trictions; and also the fact that Sen
engalese and other blacks born in
France can be admitted to the
United States under the French
quota.
His plan would still permit Can
adams and Mexicans of Castillian
blood. to enter. Chairman Johnson
suggested his plan would cause dip
lomatic plications for this coun-
try.
Representative Timberlake, Re
publican, Colorado, presented petit
ions from Colorado sugar growers
against the bill, saying his state
feels Mexican labor is needed in the
beet fields.
Asked incidentally concerning his
bill to limit the duty free limitation
Of Philippine sugar, Timberlake
said:
There is no prospect of sur
r'us production in the United States
and / feel that the United States
should expand its sugar production
sufficiently to meet its consumpt-
I'VE needs he said.
Charles Mckemy, commissioner of
labor of Texas, strongly supported
the Box bill.
