100000 TROUBLE
When ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
decided on Lefty Lynton" as
Joan Crawford's release in 1882,
they got themselves into a peck
of trouble. TheaterS which ex-
hibited the picture are now in
VolVed in the plagiarism tangle.
1t all goes back to the fact
that PlaywrightS Edward Shell
don and Margaret Aver Barnes
submitted "Dishonored Lady,"
the Katharine Cornell drama, to
the movie prducerS. M-G-M
wanted to buy it but the Will
Hays office rejected the script
as movie material.
Since the story of the play
was based on the celebrated
trial of Madeline Smith in Scot
land in 1857, M.-G.-M. decided
to make its own scenario treat
ment of the tragedy.
The suit was ally
brought against M.-G.-M. in
1884 by the authors of Dis
honored Lady" who charged
that the Crawford picture pla-
giarized their stage play. The
United States District Court
found in favor of M.-G.-M., but
this decision was reversed by
the Circuit Court of Appeals,
which awarded the plaintiffs
$4,000, plus fees, basing the
damages on the playing of the
picture in "a theaterS. This was
figured on the $3.50 minimum
damage clause in the copyright
laws. The verdict was sustained
by the Supreme Court in its re.
fUsal to interpret the copyright
act as it applies to material in
the public domain.
A special master who has
been sitting the evidence to fix
damages has decided that all
theaterS which played Lefty
LINTON" are liable. If his rec
concentrations are upheld, il
means that movie houses, large
and small, to the number Of
5000, will be compelled to give
the playwrights sum eSti
mated at about 100000.

One of the battling problems
connected with producing eyes,
My Darling Daughter" at the
National Theater was finding a
suitable title for it.
Mark Reed, the author,
had originally called his wol.1
Mothers Day" Alfred de
Liagre, jr., the producer, didn't
like it. "All About Love" was
Mr.. Reeds second suggestion
and Mr.. De Liagre didn't like
that either. The author was
asked to think up some new
ideas, and practically all of Mr..
De Liagre's friends, the theater
staff, his own assistants, and
the actors were asked to help.
Before the problem was finally
solved at least 200 titles were
considered, among them Sauce
for the Gander" and lightning

Watson, who plays the leading
role, suggested an examination
of the old nursery rhyme:
Mother, may go out to Swim?"
Eyes, my darling daughter,
Hang your clothes on a hickory

Two titles at once suggested
themselves, 1.-THE Hickory Limb"

THE NEGRO
YOuT'HOF
D A Y I ON
BY Lewis Morgan

The Dayton Youth Movement has
been fighting for the progress Of the
Negro, for the betterment of civic
rights, securing employment, better
wages and bettering other condi-
tions.
The most encouraging signs Of
our Dayton race problems that the
Movement, despite prescriptions,
manages some how or other to con-
tinue in its rise. Like mighty
wave of the surf they just keep
rolling along. When they become
penned up on one side, like q mighty
river they find an outlet on another.
These youths have talked with
with Negroes from different parts Of
the country and it is known that
when one institution Of learning re-
fuses to take him (the Negro) he
will find some other in which to
secure his learning, at least some
members OF the race do, and con-
tinue i'll the upward climb. Sur
prising are the advances made in the
fields considered close to him, great
has been the achievement OF the
Negro in the fields of science, in

ventions and in many occupational
fields they have entered.
But there are many obstacles in
the way Of the Dayton Youth Move
ment in their attempt to attain
useful employment They are so
evident that one would be foolishly
optimistic not to admit their exist
ance. The obstacles which confront
this group of workers bear down
more heavily upon them than upon
others because of their forwardness
in pushing their way TO the front.
The subtle Indifference which retards
every group of Negroes who try TO
rise above the general run of jobs
available for his race, is barrier
that others do not have to face. NO
one is more aware than the Negro
young people who have attained the
best our colleges have to offer, that
there is no certainty that they will
find employment.
Nevertheless that driving spirit
which assures success must be the
possession of a larger number OF
young Negroes. The chances OF
killing this spirit is greater than
that Of keeping it alive. Toward the
end Of keeping it alive, the public
should plan definitely to render aid,
cooperation and service to the Day
ton Youth Movement.
1t is great realization, that
which the Negro youth Of Dayton
wishes to accomplish is attainable.
Others who have preceded them IN
other cities in the same field have
attained their objective through u Z
cooperation Of the public, therefore
it is d necessity that the public Of
DAYTON cooperate with the Move
ment, backing them to the last.
They are pioneering in their own
race and Ia the white race and can
win against the latter only through
rigid competition.
They beseech the Negro young
people to join them and become an
active part Of this organization. The
public is asked to get behind them,
help push them over the top, fol
civic betterment, the promotion O
better business, employment ane
better representation.
