Loud announcement has been made
that the American Medical Associa-
tion will fight the indictment rendered
against it by federal grand jury Ito
finish" But the word going round
in Washington is quite different. That
word is that majority of doctors do
not want to fight, that they can see
that some form of group health asso-
citation is coming, and are perfectly
willing to have things tried out.
At this writing, the odds are that
the indictment will be settled by a con-
sent decree, which will open hospitals
and medical societies to doctors in
group practice.
The uncommon interest which the
public is taking in this matter is not
at all hard to explain. In the last two
or three years, increasing numbers of
people are learning that poverty is
one of the chief causes of illness and
death. They are getting such facts
as these:
Men getting from $1,000 to $4,000
year have an average loss of I days
a year from illness and accidents; men
getting less than $1,000 a year have
10.9 days; and men on relief have l7.4
days.
Day laborers in proportion to num-
bers have I times as many deaths from
pneumonia as professional men, and :
times as many from tuberculosis.
1t is bad policy to fight publlt
opinion which is backed by such facts
as these.

Measure For War
Referendum To Be
Pressed In Senate

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). - A
group of Senators Of varied political
belief are reported planning to renew
attempts in the next Congress to write
a war referendum amendment into
the Constitution.
Senator Clark of Missouri an
nounced that a resolution would be in
troduced early in the session to place
the proposed amendment before the
country for ratification He predicted
that it would have the initial support
of dozen senators.
The Senate proposal will be similar
to the revised version Of a resolution
introduced in the House last session
by Representative Ludlow but killed,
209 to 1873, when the House sent it
back to committee.

Mr. Weir has spent more than S.
100000 of his own and his stockhold-

Other firms in the same business have
found no such need Economy? The
odds are heavy that he has thrown
away twice as much as it would have
cost him to obey the law.
He is doing this in response to the
demand for industrial despotism which
seems to be a strong element in his
nature. He apparently has the weird

law has no right to interfere with his

Improvement in business and in

Incomes and living standards are

That makes for national cheerful

If this spirit is indeed rife, 1899 is
off to a promising start, despite dark

The Directors

Its Wrongs
Inept Producers
Are Blamed for
Film Faults.
1y the Associated Press,


HOLLYWOOD.
7 N1ON1zED screen directors
have answered the question
What's wrong with the mov-
ies?-in a seven-page state
ment blaming an ''inept army" of
minor production executives.
Taking the industry to task for a
complicated and expensive system of
supervision" the Screen Directors
Guild. Inc, made public frankly
critical analysis
The guild charged that:
Studio overhead much of it waste
ful, eats up 40 per cent of the cost of
Hollywood pictures.
Duplication, uncertainty and waste
increase the other 60 per cent actually
spent on production
Nearly twice as many pictures were
made 10 years ago with one-eighth
the number of producers, supervisors
and associates now employed.
Millions of dollars have been in
vested in screen stories that will
never be produced, but directors have
not been asked to go over this ma
terial for salvage and reconstruction.
Producers continue to prepare stories
with situations, stunts and scenes
which are extravagantly costly or i'm
possible to film, although directors
could suggest suitable alternatives if
consulted.
Dozens of executives have been pro-
NOTED to positions of authority for
which they are unqualified. inexper-
fenced and utterly lacking in creative
ability.
These executives isolate the director
and the writer from the real pro-
ducer." They offer "a virtual pro-
scription against originality and fresh
ness in pictures"
The situation is aggravated in the
case of "B," or low budget pictures.
The majority Of the men in charge
"have little respect for the medium,
less respect for their audiences and
excuse their lack of imagination by
ridiculing it in Others"

Robin Hood Is
Held Over

The Earle holds a show for a
second week for the first time
since the combination vaude-
vile and picture program was
inaugurated some eight years
ago. News, indeed. After view
ing "The Adventures Of Robin
Hood" it is no longer surprising
that such a change Of policy
should be commanded.
Technicolor which has been
making rapid advances as shown
in several recent productions
simply scars to the top in this
exciting and delightful resume
of the escapades of the dashing
knight of Sherwood Forest. The
unbelievable beauty Of the film
'transcends even the brilliant
performances of a grand cast.
In fact it is a bit difficult to
come down to earth after a show
which is as fascinating and
novel as is Robin Hood. Enrol
Flynn could certainly not be i'm
proved upon. He is the bold
leader around whom fact and
fiction set up a tradition well
known to all English speaking
people. Flynn's performance
makes Robin a real person. The
exquisite Olivia de Havilland as
Maid Marian in a joy to behold.
Claude Rains, Basil Rathbone
and Ian Hunter, and a dozen
others who are actors Of the top
ranks add to as fine an adven.
ture film as has ever unreeled.
The stage show includes Bob
Dupont, a juggler extraordinary.
Carol Manners a very good
singer, the Brown twins, Barteil
and Hurst and the Albertina
Rasch dancers in a program
which may be clasSed as good
entertainment. making the
Earle's current bill one Of sure
hits of the season. II. <.
