The Moving Picture World (October 1907)

512 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD. Moving Picture Exhibitors' Association. When the case of the People vs. Annie Houseman and Solomon Joseph was continued on October 5, 1907, be- fore Magistrate Droege in Essex Market Court, there was present a large number of moving picture exhibitors, as the determination of the Court was of vital importance to their interests. Captain Daniel P. Sullivan, from the law office of Florence J. Sullivan, of 229 Broadway, representing the Moving Picture Exhibitors' Association, argued that Sec- tion 290 of the Penal Code, under which the defendants were arrested, did not apply to common shows and mov- ing picture exhibitions, and he differentiated the term "theater" used in the statute as not embracing the latter class of shows. The defendants, who conduct a moving picture exhi- bition at 27 Bowery, were arrested for admitting a child under 15 years of age who was unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. The complainants did not attempt to show that the exhibition was injurious to morals. Magistrate Droege, in rendering his decision, stated that as there was no substantial dispute as regards the facts, the only question to determine was the novel point of law urged by Mr. Sullivan, and as to that, he was con- strained to accept Mr. Sullivan's interpretation of the! law, and discharged the defendants. Mr. Sullivan was Tieartily congratulated by the exhib-j itors in attendance at the hearing. Hiawatha, Kan., September 30, 1907. Editor Moving Picture World, New York. Dear Sir—In your issue of September 14, mention i& made in regard to a "Ben Hur" film. I find, from invej-p tigating two films used for the above, that they are '"M Passion Play," and the operators claim the "Ben Huf || idea from a Biblical standpoint. This may be ot use to someone and stop misrepresent* I tion. Yours very truly, H. D. Adams. [We thank our correspondent for this information | which will satisfactorily answer several queries we haTt| received, and also one who asserted we had given wrong^ data—he had seen the film.— Ed.] I BUY AND SELL MOVING CTURE SHOWS, Theatres, Amusement Parlors and Penny Arcades anywhere.
