It Worked Quite a crowd thronged Broadway around 41st St. at noon yesterday to see the two rubes on a cart with the horse behind the cart. One of them dangled some hay on a pitchfork before the horse and this induced motive power,' while the other "flooded" the street with tobacco juice. The cart carried a sign reading "We are hurrying to the Broadway to see 'The County Fair.' " ^ (f (QcUiccLtioruii 0 ictivuu-/ W Priest a Producer Robert W.

He has signed contracts with Lottie Kendall, who has just returned to New York after a tour in "My Lady Friends," for a series of four six-reel pictures to be produced in the east and to be released on the state right market. No Paralysis, Reports Brunet Motion picture production is not suffering from "paralysis" notwithstanding the many statements to that effect which have found their way into print during the last few weeks. This denial is from Paul Brunet. Brunet, as noted, has just returned from a visit to the coast centers of picture production, where he spent more than two weeks with the object of satisfying his own mind regarding the actual production situation. Not only did he discover that there is no "paralysis," but that there has been none.
