Main Objectives of Allied Won at 5-5-5, Says Myers With two exceptions, involving chain expansions and the score charge, Allied States Ass'n gained its "main objectives" at the 5-5-5 standard contract conference at Atlantic City, said Abram F. Myers in a statement issued yesterday. "The producer-owned theaters would make no concession whatever on theater expansion, and the distributors would take no stand on score charges," said the Allied president. "On these important issues the theater owners will have to continue to fight until score charges are abolished and some assurance is obtained with reference to the unnecessary and reckless building of theaters." Myers urges exhibitors to "await the full text of the document before forming a final judgment on the work of the conference." Two Cameramen Hurt While making "The Gypsy Code" for Audio Cinema at their Long Island studio yesterday, Al Wilson, chief cameraman, received several scalp wounds when a knife thrown by Roy D'Arcy accidently struck him in the head.
