Uet wasd al Aflv a I VALENUNG DEFENSE SET BACK In a decision handed down by Justice CyMalley in the Supreme Court last week, Rodplph Valentinos defense in the suit for an injunction brought against htm b; the Famous Players-Lasky-Corporation re- ceived a severe setback. Justice C/Malley rejected nine counter claims and sustained one, which allows Valentino to aerre an amended answer. Merit was found in the tenth defense of Valentino by Justice C/Malley. This was to the effect that the Famous Players- Lasky Corporation secured the signature of the movie star to the contract, tmexpired and the basis of the injunction, "by cor- mptingly inducing the defendants' agent, who was authorized to negotiate for his employment, to withhold from the defend- ant s knowled^ of better offers than the plaintifTs, whidi had been actually nude by other motion picture producers." Other defense and counter claims were not allowed by Justice CyMalley, who held that they were frivolous. These included the allegation by Valentino that his con- tract was not like that of Thonas Meighan's, as he expected that it would be drawn along similar lines. This refers to the clause in the Valentino contract which reads in part, "in view of the consideration of $1,000 per week and upwards, stipulated in the contracts." The seventh defense and coimter claim, also considered frivolous, concerned the al- legation that Valentino and his wife were intimidated, oppressed and abused, etc, in order to make him live up to the contract GEST GOING TO EUROPE Morris Gest will sail for Europe on the Olympic on June 9. He will spend a good portion of his time in Paris, where the Chauve Souris will be presented during the summer. Gest will also make arrange- ments for the importation of the produc- tion to be used for "The Miracle." which he will stage here in the fall. He antici- pates returning to America late in Jnly. Max Reinhardt is expected to return to -America with him. BURNSIDE BACK FROM COAST R. H.
