And the paper going with them — kicking legs — bared shoulders — is just as much "out." We haven't many sentimentalists in this industry. Perhaps they all are compelled to worry about dollars too much. But a lot of people. Might well accept the White List idea. As a basis for doing business. Not only in 1925. But for a long time to come.

Brabin against Metro-Goldwyn on the ground that he was engaged to direct "Ben Hur" and was discharged before the picture was completed. He demanded the $500,000 alleging that he lost prestige valued at that sum because his name was not used as the director. The defndant in opposing this claim asserted that it was too speculative to be the basis of any recovery. The defendant made no objection to a claim of $23,500 as a balance due on Brabin's $27,500 which he was to get for making the picture.
