In the Courts A default judgment for $1,267 has been filed in the Supreme Court against Claire Whitney Keane, film actress, in a suit of Frances M. Johnston to recover for moneys spent for her benefit. The Fox Film Corp. has filed an answer in the Supreme Court to the action of Alexander J. Gordin for an accounting of the proceeds of the "Queen of Sheba" on the ground that he wrote the scenario, in which Fox alleges that Gordin was employed as assistant in the scenario department, and was directed to do Biblical research work for a pretentious play based on the "Queen of Sheba." It is alleged that after he had completed the scenario he refused to send it to J. Gordon Edwards at Hollywood, Cal., as directed, and the defendant had to employ some one else at $1,000 to do the work. For this reason he was discharged. A counterclaim for this sum is made on the ground that Gordin received $700 at the rate of $70 a week, for what he did. A judgment for $973 was filed in the City Court against the Community Motion Picture Bureau by Dudley Murphy in a suit to recover $500 for services and $450 expenses in producing films. The Community Motion Picture Bureau was sued in the Supreme Court by the Bay City Film Corp. for $6,160 as the value of 137 prints from which the defendant got 2,000 feet of film which could be used. Clearing the Atmosphere I. E. Chadwick, president of the F. I. L. M. Slubs, feels that there is some doubt as to the attitude of his organization over uniform contracts, because the text of the M. P. T. O. standard contract was followed by another article last week telling of the resolution passed by the F. I. L. M. Club on the same subject. Chadwick says : "The coincidence of publishing the two articles on successive days, has led in some quarters to the misconception that the F. I. L. M. Club, had, by its resolution, approved and urged the adoption of the standard form of contract submitted by the M P. T. O.. This is not a fact, and 1 write to ask you to correct the apparent misunderstanding due to a heading used hy you in your issue of June 18th. The F. I. L. M. Club did not and does not approve the principle that a standard form of contract he adopted without passing upon the merits or demerits of any ific contract proposed. "Tin F. I. L. M. Club deems it the province of the National Association and not that of the F. I. L. M. to adopt such a contract."
