Up to this minute, the response
to the mayors pleas that New
York should become the new Hol-
lywood Of the country. has not

al.
They are George Jessel and Ben

a movie under their own stand
ard and the other day they con-
ceived an idea.
Since such an elephantic con-
Germ as MGM uses a roaring lion
as trademark, they thought that
they would Use the growing fea-
lures Of Mayor LaGuardia, to
whom their first enterprise is de-
dicated, as symbol. When put
up to the mayor, he protested
with good-enough humor.
MOVIES GREW UP
IN THE EAST
Bringing the film industry to
Manhattan Is not so startling
a scheme as 1t might seem on first
thought. A quarter of a century
ago, the film industry WAS In
Manhattan, Furnishing.
Thrillers and pie comedies were
fabricated on the cliffs Of Fort
Lee in New Jersey, on the plains
CT Long Island and In withered
brownstone houses In Manhat-
tan's Fifties where can recall
tramping In knee-pants for a ju-
venile days work as an extra.
Picture-making in those days
was not expensive. A producer
like David Wark Griffith could
buy powerful script for $25, pay
a cast a total Of $3.50 a week, a
director $50 and about $500 for
his total production expenses.
Then he could show his product
for a nickel in any of the old
fashioned "nickelodeons" In the
vicinity and emerge with a hand
some profit.
And now the mayor has asked
the prodigal film makers to come
home. He promises them a hear
ty welcome. He knows that New
York Is more susceptible TO such
hazards as rain. snow and fog and
that the Hudson Is not the Pa
cific nor the Catskill Mountains
nor the Sierras.
But he argues that the great
outdoor era of the movies Is ov-
err and that most talkies are con-
cerned with life indoors. Since
the sun and barometer. he con-
cludes, are no longer the neces-
stiles Of the art. there is no rea-
son why the movies cannot move
at least half their lares and pen
ates to the East and reinstatc
themselves in the good graces OF
Father Knickerbocker.

WELL once again the Metropolitan Police Department
w has been given the good old "run-around," and this
time by other than that estmable body the Budget
Bureau
citizens of Washington also denied the safeguards to
which they entitled.
We refer to the action of the bureau in again ignoring
the request of Major Ernest W. Brown Superintendent
of Police for additional men.
The Patterson Newspapers have differed with Major
Brown in the past and will undoubtedly differ with him
in the future. After all. that is to be expected
But in this case are in hearty
NOL UeLLHtY accord with him. We believe that the

adequate police protection. And we
know and the police know that they not getting

Take the recent case of the phantom Sniper" who
killed two and wounded several others. He was not
captured despite efforts of the entire detective bureau
to trap him.
Look at the snar of traffic that is daily occurrence.
Look at the list of unsoved crimes Then ask Why And
the answer is plain. NOT ENOUGH POLICEMEN.
Major Brown says that is the trouble. And Major
Brown is an officer with close forty years experience
He wants 1900 men, He puts that as the minimum with
which he can give the people of Washington the pro-
lection they should have and have right to demand.
At present there only 1897 members of the force
and that is not enough But the Budget Bureau doesn't

But day, God willing, things will be different.
Some day will get the vote the right to run our own
affairs And when that day comes, then shall have
enough policemen to guard the homes and lives of our
people.
