NEWS OF THE THEATRES _.FAVORABLE REPORT ON ; THEATRE !’BANO]!ISE X Notification . that his - application for membership had been favorably acted upon by the lo 1 :franchise ‘holders, and that it had been for- ‘warded for approval by the New York office of the Associated First Na- . ‘tional Pictures, Inc., the organization ‘;of mearly 6,000 independent motion ipicture exhibitors, starsiand_ direct: .ors, was receiyed by Mr. Brinkman ‘of the Rex theatre today. The ac- ‘<ceptance of this app! cation means jithe issuance of a sul ~franchise . to Bim which will give hum the exclu- iisive rights of exhibiting in this dis- trict the future productions of Mar- shall Neilan, Charles Ray, Charlie Chaplin, Constance.and. Norma Tal- madge, Katherine -MacDonald, ‘Anita Stewart, - Mildred~ Harris * Charlin, and many other prominent stars and directors who have already allied themselves with the movement to pre- vent the monopolization of -all ‘branches of the motion picture in- dustry by certain of the large east- -ern financial interests. Means Much For F: ans. It is more then probable, however, that the recommendation will be ac- cepted; for local self government is included in the scheme of organiza- tion of the association. The project of supplying 6,000 exhibitors, the " 'total membership which the associ- ation has nearly reached now, is a . ‘vast one but as far as possible a most ;- democratic formation has been main- ! taijned. In fact the organization of the association follows closely along the lines of the organization of the ' United States government.. The As- . sociated First National Pictures is . the main organization with head- !"quarters in New York. The member- ship of this consists of the franchise ‘holders for the various geographical franchises to the individual theatre owners, who thus acquires every right and privilege which is contained within the main organization. Mr. Brinkman declared today that the importance of granting a fran- <hise in this city will not be fully ap- preciated by motion picture patrons until the results of it ‘have had a chance to demonstrate :themselves, He said, however, that if.a franchise, had not been recommended some of the greatest pictures of ‘the future . ‘would not be shown here, for Charles 'Ray, Marshal ‘Neilan, King Vidor, Henry Lehrmann, Charlie Chaplin, Anita Stewart, Katherine MacDonald, Norma and Constance = Talmadge, . Mildred Harris Chaplin, and other of the best known stars and ' direct- ors have signed contracts to produce exclusively for the new organization.

The Meeting opened with an un- expected fight over the - chairman- ship. Charles H. Innes, Massachu- setts was opposed by Edward P. Duf- field, state chairman of the Wood or- ganizatlon in New Jersey. Duffield was elected 28 to 16. The result occasioned some muttering by the de- feated faction who made muca.of the fact that Frank H. Hitchcock, Wood’s campaign manager had been *“visit- ing” with the committee members for an hour- before they . got' aown to business. = W.-T. Laube, Washington, was elected secretary by acclamation.
