Of Filmland and Its People By Julian Johnson ROBABLY a great many people are wondering if the actors’ strike, that astonishing event which is plaguing ‘the theatres, here and there, and more of leas seriously, will invade the movies, Th all probabitity—ne. History ts written in singtlar’ inks Yusoing down 044 pens thes days, 0 we are not predicting Jabor troubles or no labor troubles in the studios, We are merely saying that conditions are so different that disturbances, if they do come, will not only come in « different way and be met with dit, ferent resistances, but must, perforpa, come from an entirely different set of causes. Ope of the leading gentlemen of the Actors’ Equity is alleged to have said: “When we get through @#ith the drama we'll show these picture mopagers where they get off.” Al~ leged to have waid it—and, all tm all, I rather doubt the allegation. Tt is true that the heading screen Producers have. firmly allied them- selves with the associated mapagurs who are fighting the striking actors, and they cali it an alliance offensive and defensive, but I think you will find that pkactically every one of those producers is himself interested in the theatrical business, Thus, Willlam Fox is a vaudeville Adéiph Zukor owns Charles Cdr Ointment os ed a bless- - to thousands who have wuflered Years from irritating on oe sie troubles may be averted ftom sicin wonderful remedy. the use of this dum Ointment is for eczema, eruption ies, itch, scaly skin, 8, piles, scabs, orm, wll nig F sores, buriis, etc, Le ce Teter neat iad % ne nal roves ts Sanus FOR LESIGESTION orld “Wants” Work Wonders.

Brady, ex- equtive head of the associated pictiire men of this country, is primarily a theatrical manager, with his dircet business interest in pictures a suc ondary affair. While the studios have problems of their own, actorially speaking, they have none of the problems causing the wrangle between the Broadway producers and the Actors’ Equity. Conditions are utterly different. Here, the trouble arose over such things a6 pay for holiday matinees, extra per- formances, rehearsals and like matters which, in the very differing nature of the business, are unknown in the studios. find a list of grievances in any occu- pation—if one starts out with that purpose in mind. Tt might be said that from the em- ployee standpoint the carpenters are the dominant factors of the studios. T use “carpenters” as a more or less term penters themselves—the builders of sets and the “grifs” who set and strike the scenes, and the “props,” who handle the mountainous accumu- Igtion of furniture and other impedi- mienta—are a well-organized body, aa are the many electricians who are Just as necessary on the glass stages as their brothers with saws and ham- mers or rubber-wheeled trucks. In the presentation of his pieces, the movie magnate has an infinite advantage over the manager of the theatre. Every time the theatre manager gives a show he does it by the grace of his actors; every actor in a film may develop a vitriolic hate for the man who shows it—but he shows it, not by their grace, but by the indulgence and technical skill of @ young man in the projection booth, Furthermore, if some artistic disas- ter, “labor cataclysm or | patriotic necessity closed every studio, in America to-morrow, new pictires would be more or less regularly re- leased until next spring, and the pro- cession of old pictures, playing houses in which they had not before been shown, would be practically endless.
