By NEA Service San Francisco, Noy. 14.—On trial with Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle are several million dollars worth of movie films, Four or five nameless rojls are shelved awaiting a verdict that will either free them to the public gaze, or hold them prisoner under a sen- tence of public condemnation, A dozen other rolls already are on the market, either under partial or total; ban. And many contemplated reels! may or may not be filmed. Hence the intense interest of cer-; tain powerful movie magnates in Putting the matter in cold busi- ness terms; here is a several million dollar asset threatening to become worthless property. Hence, also, the delicate task that lies in the hands of the defense law- yers,. Not only must they see to it that Arbuckle is acquitted, but he must be restored to public favor, Seldom have lawyers been given so fragile a task. In the background, move the active figures of film in- terest agents. Lou Anger, manager for Arbuckle, has been constantly in touch with every move and gits in conference with the defense lawyers. The film interests with fortunes tied up in Fatty’s films, it is said, will take from their coffers a consid- erable portion of the fund used in the defence. It is known that they retained Gavin McNab as chief of the defense staff. Whether McNab intends putting | Arbuckle on the stand in his own de- fense is not yet known. MRS. GEO.
