The Chief Executive told his press
conference the P. w. A. Is checking

If all their spending money is in
vested on trying to pick the dog
which will catch the flying rabbit,
they have less or none whatsoever
for Hollywood and all its works.
In Massachusetts,, with legalized
betting, the dog tracks have en-
joyed enormous prosperity and
such a juvenile patronage they
comprise the stiffest summer op-
position to the picture houses.
The reform element is leading
the national fight to end dog rae.
ing on the grounds that it is a cor
ruptive influence on the young.
A year or two ago Hollywood
turned out a picture on dog racing
called Dark Hazard" It showed
quite a few of the tricks used at
the tracks where racing f1ourishes.
Edward G. Robinson was the star
and I thought it a highly enter
tanning feature. It went floppo at
the box office, however, ironically
enough because exhibitors said it
failed to interest young movie
goers.

LICKED IN JERSEY
The Virginia enterprise would
be located at Four Mile Run or
next door tc Washington'S back
yard. Ten minutes by auto from
Pennsylvania Avenue.
There is, Of course, big money
in dog racing, which Is why the
promoters are eager to locate in
this territory. Those who are red
hot in fighting the flying pups
claim 1t is not q sport but q racket.
They assert it cannot thrive with
out legalized pari-mutuelS-and
Virginia has not legahzed betting
so that the new enterprise would
encourage hand books and all the
evils that 60 with this type Of
speculation.
New Jersey movie exhibitors
fought the dog tracks to a legal
finish through the courts and won.
The victory came when pari-
mutuel betting was ruled illegal.
When dog racing was thriving
at the ST, 100000 municipal Audi
forum at Atlantic City all other
amusement enterprises suffered.
They suffered mostly because
trick tickets Of admission literally
flooded the shore and it was pos
sihle to visit the dog track with
out spending any more than for
q game Of bingo or an eloctro-
cuted canine in a mustard roll.
My brief inspection of Atlantic
City'S glorified track convinced me
that dog racing can be made quite
q spectacle and has all the essen
tials for a colorful and exciting
evening. At the time, the pro-
meters were fighting heavy oppo-
sition and everything about the
lditorium was run much more
smoothly and with closer re-
gard for public comfort and con-
venience than exists at the ordi-
nary horse race track. You could
bet, for instance, without leaving
your seat. And be paid off also
without a trip to the cashiers
window.
The stubborn opposition Of the
motion picture interests to dog
racing is based on the fact that
the so-called sport interests chill
