Permanent Position — State Experience Address K-23 c/o Film Daily "Pious Gestures" (Continued from Page 1) pages of the address which he delivered before the Forum. "The figure that Will Hays makes as an improver of moving pictures is a pious gesture which has not yet deceived very many people," said Oberholtzer. "Nobody pretends that he sees the pictures before th'^v are circulated, th only way the output can be controlled, that he would have nrohibitory powers if he did see them, tliat he represents more than a part of the industry, that his function is more than to go about t.v forums and women's meetings to confuse the issue and run up sentiment unfavorable to a legal supervision of the business. If he can do anything like this he will serve his masters well and make them willing perhaps to renew their fine contract with him for more pretense and buncombe. He will not fool many peonle in Pennsylvania." Syracuse Starts Second Syracuse Motion Picture Co.' has started its second production "Midnight" with Henry Hull and Mary Thurman.

The Troubles of an Exhibitor (Continued from Page 1) This here feature I found at the express office ain't got no title on it and don't seem to end no where, the main title seems to be "Episode Four," which my wife thinks_ is the four horses of Appollinaris, vvhi(:h vvas run in San Francisco. If it is, it's certainly exciting without any finish to it. I may be the owner of a big circuit by the time you hear from me again. I got my eye on a house over at Frostburg, twenty miles from here. It is a two hundred seater with a, what I think they call a dummy stage, (two far for bicycling), but I think I can make a go of it anyhow, fo." I can get better rentals on a circuit than for one house. It looks like I can give a matinay Thanksgiving, if the print gets in in time. My Labor Day show got in too late for the night show, so_ I ain't going to announce anything special till I feel the old picture right in my hand. I got a slip of paper frorn a paper asking me to make it out with details about my theater. Here's how I filled it out. Make any changes you want and return to me.
