Brulatoor, Inc. g (Continued from Page 1) rule of clean thought that the other fellow, too, may he right. From this conference, in our opinion, will come many things of inestimable value to the industry. A new standard, uniform contract that all sides agree is the best and most equitable yet offered within the business. An arbitration system that will function with unquestioned justice and clear-cut understanding, and best of all a meeting of big minds in the spirit of harmony and fair play. Such results do not accrue from child's play. They are not the result of guesswork and shallow thinking. This old picture biz is no more in its infancy. The brains working out these sensitive but important problems were big, mature, experienced, firm and withal tolerant. Wise-cracking industry critics, both within and without, might have learned a somewhat fitting lesson by sitting in. Starting Again from Scratch There is to be a new start all around. The results of the conference will first go to the boards of the respective organizations for ratification. This should now be automatic. With ratification accomplished, a new era will be born. Abram Myers and M. A. Lightman have proven themselves in open forum to be fair-minded, constructive and willing to work in complete harmony for the best interests of all. Their co-working confrees, as well as those representing affiliated theater and producer interests, were both sympathetic and understanding. The man directly responsible for the success of the conference is Sidney Kent. The idea was his. He was a fair, impartial chairman throughout. We are rather reminded of the fact that they told him that it could not be done, so he went ahead and did it. LATIN AMERICA A HOTBED OF U. 8. TALKER AGITATION Buenos Aires — Latin America has become virtually a hotbed of agitation against American pictures largely due to influx of talkers made in the U. S. In several countries, including Argentina and Mexico, legislation pending would seriously curtail American product. Feeling against American talkers is especially strong in this city, where many musicians are out of employment and blame it on talkers. Wm. Heineman Honored at Testimonial Dinner San Francisco — About 120 local film men attended the testimonial dinner given to William Heineman, recently promoted by Universal to Assistant Western Sales Manager. W. P. Moran, of Oklahoma City, who succeeds Heineman here, also was an honor guest. A. M. Bowles of Fox West Coast was toastmaster. A handsome Gladstone bag was presented to Heineman.
