Advertisement READ—WE ARE NOT UNFAIR Recently the Indianapolis Musicians’ Union arbitrarily demanded that the Lincoln Square Theatre (formerly the Rialto) must employ a given large number of musicians. Being limited in seating capacity, with big houses as competitors and a policy of “big entertainment at small prices,” this theatre could not afford to employ the number of men demanded by the union. We have made every effort to adjust the matter. We have offered to show our books and daily reports and even to turn our theatre over or have the matter settled by arbitration by uninterested parties, all of which was refused. Recently the musicians entered into an alliance with the projection operators and stage hands, so that now if one craft has a grievance, all must join to force a settlement. Wednesday night, to our surprise, all the union employes in our circuit of Indiana theatres walked out. We have no disagreement with the operators and stage hands and the question concerned only one theater, the Lincoln Square, which theater has nothing to do with other corporations and theatrical enterprises in which the undersigned is interested. This alliance is passing out cards saying there is a strike, with the words, “unfair to organized labor and a disgrace to Indianapolis.'’ It is only fair that the public should know the truth in this matter. We believe it is unfair in every way to call out employes who have no grievance whatsoever, and who have been associated with us for so many years, who are unwilling to leave their position where they are receiving a dollar an hour and upward, and who are working for corporations who have nothing to do with the Lincoln Square Theater. We have over a hundred applicants for positions, and our theaters running ith the very best of experienced and most competent employes, and we solicit the continued favor of our patrons. We regret very much to lose the services of men who had no grievance with us and wanted to remain, and who had been with us so many years, and we can not understand why they would lend themselves to pulling the musicians’ “chestnut sout of the fire.” REMBUSCH THEATRICAL ENTERPRISES Largest Theatrical Circuit in Indiana.

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS With WALTER D. HICKMAN ™ HE Indiana Indorsers of Pholoi plays have changed their opinion regarding Mabel Normand, according to Harry Kock, manager of the Ohio Theater, where Mabel’s new picture will be exhibited next week. Kock has sent me the following letter from the Indiana Jndorsers of Photoplays: “We. the picture committee of the Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays, screened ‘The Extra Girl,’ a Mack Sennett Production featuring Mabel

Normand, and in view of the great amount of criticism heaped upon this 3tar, we decire to make the following statement in connection with out indorsing of this subject. “We respectfully submit that it is fundamental with American law that every person is deemed to be innocent until proved guilty, and that there is no procedure available to ar.y one whereby innocence may be proved, except in cases where an indictment has been found and even in such cases no proof of innocence is required of the accused, but proof of guilt must be definitely determined. "Even the newspaper accounts charge her with no greater offense than friendship with a girl who was the friend of a man who was shot by a chauffeur. Even if we assume that Miss Normand is guilty of some improper conduct (and she is not charged with any improper conduct) It is difficult to understand the

reasoning that would condemn a picture—a picture in no way relating to her private life, which picture was made long before the incident occurred. “It is our opinion that the barring of the picture cannot penalize Miss Normand in any way. She has been paid in full for her services, and has no further interest in the picture. The full penalty resulting from the barring of pictures in which she has appeared falls not upon Miss Normand, but upon third parties who have invested large sums of money in these pictures. “We, as the American people, pride ourselves on our spirit of fair play. It is a fundamental principle of fair play that an accused shall at least have his day in court and oe given an opportunity to be heard in his own defense, and it is our desire to be. among the first to stand up for that principle in the fullest degree. “We can give no stronger indorsement of our stand than the fact that

some of the State boards which acted hastily in this matter, upon deliberation have withdrawn their objections and lifted the bans they have placed upon Miss Normand. "We feel that It Is not In the province of our work to censure the character of actors or actresses on the screen. Our mission is to indorse and give publicity to all good pictures. “Respectfully submitted, “INDIANA INDORSERS OF PHOTOPLAYS ~ As far as I am concerned, I refused to rush in blindly regarding the Mabel Normand controversy. Have always maintained that a picture is a picture. I hold the picture responsible, not the individual in it. The public has exercised the right to see “The Extra Girl” in other cities. The picture is being received on its own feet and not because of the headlines recently given Mabel Normand.
