Editor The Star: I wish to protest against your fon tn coup the names of ty” Arbuckle and Mrs. James A. Stillman. Their cases don’t seer at all analogous to me, Arbuckle, @ professional movie actor of many years’ standing, was unfortunate enough to be come involved {n @ scandalous murder case. He was tried—and found not guilty, Therefore, naturally enough, be returned to his profession—and, an far as any fair-minded person ts con cerned, that ended the matter. I'm not a particular admirer of his films—dut I can certainly see no moral ground for banning them. Mrs. Stillman, on the other hand, was never tn the public eye until she became Involved in @ scandalous divorce case. She was vindicated, it {s true— and therefore had a perfect right to resume her former position in the community. But she has no right to seek @ new position on the strength of the unsavory no- toriety which she attained. Arbuckle went back into the movies because that was the way he'd always made his living. Ho certainly doesn't count the Rappe cane aa “favorable public ity.” Mrs, Stillman, on the other hand, Is going on the leo ture platform for no other rea son than to capitalize her dl- voree. Vv. L. B. Editor The Star: Referring to your article In to- day's Star regarding whether or not Mra, Stillman should lecture here, let her come! Let those who have any scruples against listening to her, stay away from her lectures! Let the papers who oppose her keep her lectures out of reach of the public! Tho peo- ple who yell the loudest about this sort of thing are the ones who can hardly wait till the first edition is out giving detailed ac- count.
