Selznick for a balance of .$3,051 due on notes of Select made in 1922, endorsed by the defendants, on which the plaintiffs advanced $15,000. The plaintiffs assert that the defense is a sham. The defendants in their defense allege that they were discharged from liability because the notes became due Feb. 9, 1923, and the plaintiffs granted an extension of time for payment. A judgment for $1,479 has been filed in the City Court against Murray W. Garsson, Inc., in a suit of Roy Sheldon. The plaintiff alleged he was engaged to go to Georgia in 1922 to take charge of the film "Way Down South," and was to get $250 a week for five weeks and $1,000 when the film was completed. He alleged that a balance of $1,479 was due him. The defense was that the film as directed by Sheldon was "an ineffective piece of work."
