Dennis O’Brien, Mr. Fairbanks' New York attorney, came out to conduct the proceedings, and, as Miss Pickford was still confined to her home, her attorney attended the meeting with Mrs. Charlotte Pickford.
This new “trust” has everybody guessing. The plans are not quite perfected, and they do say that the big men like Adolph Zukor, T. L. Tally, Jesse Lasky, et al, are standing like little boys at the circus fence, trying to peep in and find out what’s up. They, disclaim fear, but if five ^ great money-makers “go it alone” it’s
surely going to be hard on sorne pj^kford up
