THE EVENING, STAR, WASHINGTON, .D. C, SAPIRO IS MADE AMOVIE “CZAR Independent Theater Men | quage Co-operative Expert at $100,000 Yearly. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Co-operative marketing—the Cool- idge panacea for farm relief—Iis about to be applied to the movies. . Aaron Sapiro, America’s foremost authority in the field of co-operative distributing and selling of agricultural produce, has just been placed at the head of the { “independent” picture-theater owners of | greater New York, in order to graft that | principle onto their problems. Sapiro thus becomes another ‘“czar of the {movies” and at a “czar’-like salary— 1$100.000 a year. The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America pay Will H. Hays $150,000 a year—or | did, according to last accounts. | Sapiro is to have the same compre- | hensive powers that Hays wields. The !likelihood is that the two “czars” soon- er or later may find themselves clash- ing. The Motion Picture Exhibitors® Assaclation of New York, which Sapiro to command, was founded for the pecific purpose of defense against the ompetition of the big chains affilisted with the Hays organization. A Nation- wid» extension of the New York com- | bination is in the offing.

Co-ordination Is Aim. | Mr. Sapiro has convinced the “inde- | pendents” that the problems of the small picture house are, in their own way, identical with those of the small farmer trying to market his produce | against big capitalistic odds organized | for marketing purposes. ~“Co-ordina- | tion, not consolidation.” is the aim of the exhibitors' association which has now begun to operate under his leader- | 'ship. The linking up of the small movies of Manhattan Island appears to be only the first of Sapiro’s activities along such lines. He has recently ne- gotiated with the laundry owners of New York City concerning a co-opera- tive organization. Sapiro warmly espouses the theory that co-operative buying and selling is the salvation of many loosely organized American industries. Some economic authorities think the scheme with which Sapiro's name is conspicucusly identified may be the sole hope of small merchants and producers against the chain-store idea, which is playing such havoc with tradesmen in all lines of business States. everywhere in the United Wins Ford Suit. It was Sapiro's actlvities in agricul- tural co-operative marketing ythat brought him into conflict with Henry Ford three years mgo, and which re- |sulted in the young Californian’s tri- ,umfh over the motor magnate at the end of protracted legal proceedings in Detroit last Summer. Sapiro organized half a dozen different farm industrics | {in the United States and Canada. He has his friends and his foes, but men ! | like Senator Capper of Kansas, one of the country's recognized agricultural | Hen That Lays Green Eggs Arrivep At Zoo to Exhibit Wares to Skeptics A hen that lays green eggs arrived at the Zoo yesterday in time to produce a good supply for Easter. This breed, the Araucanian, was dis- covered in Chile in 1914, It had been kept by farmers for many years as a domestic fowl, but its origin is unknown. Besides laying green eggs, the hen has a pecullar growth of feathers on each side of the neck, at the juncture of the neck and head. All other breeds of domestic fowl lay either white or brown- shelled eggs. . The cgg_is about the size of that of a Rhode Island Red and is excellent for table purposes. The hen is not a good layer, however, and is not likely to become popular with American poultry farmers. The specimen at the Zoo laid an egg upon her arrival yesterday, but she was sitting on a perch at the time, so it was broken. She was a gift to the National Zao- Santiago, Chile. “Our rabbits were badly overworked in their efforts to meet the demand for colored cggs last Easter,” sald Dr. Wil- llam M. Mann, director of the park, “and the arrival of this bird should make things easier for them this year. the red, pink and purple eggs, and need not produce any blue or green ones.” The Araucanian hen, Dr. Mann said, has been brought to the United States before by poultry fanciers and consider- able work has been done in an effort to trace fts origin, but this is the first specimen obtained by the Zoo. It is a domesticated bird. The fowl. Dr. Mann pointed out, offers a striking contrast with the bird in the Zoo which is believed by ornithologists to represent the breed from which all domestic_poultry originated—the jungle fowl of Southern Asia. IVY CITY CITIZENS ASK D. C. REPRESENTATION Committee to. Urge Opening of New York Avenue Bridge and _ Extension of Street. National representation for the Dis- trict was advocated last night by the Ivy City Civic Association, meeting in the Crummell School. The association passed a resolution aligning itself with | the forces now working for the measure, and offered its unqualified support. It was indicated during the discussion that the consensus of citizens was that only through representation in Congress can g his s> svernment of the District v sub- stantially betlered.
