MOVIES DARE ACTORS’ UNION TO FINISH FIGHT Next S,ep Rests With Equity in Its Invasion of Talkies. B'J r (Ilf t Pr-.. HOLLYWOOD. June 7.—With a finish fight anticipated as a result of the Association of Motion Pic- ’ ture Producers’ defiance of the j Actors' Equity Association toda". the next move in the campaign seemed to rest with Equity. Equity has issued an ultimatum to its members that all future con-, tracts tor sound picture work must be signed on Equity provided blanks. The producers, in reply, have announced that they will “continue to engage artists for our productions only under the fair and just form of contract which is prepared and approved by representatives of both producers and motion picture actors. ” Next Step Up to Equity The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which eighteen months ago brought about the arbitration which resulted in the present contract, has announced a “hands off” policy. Appar°rtly the Equity must make the next, step bv making good its threat to have its members refuse to sign the present contract, and to refuse to work in pictures in which the entire cast is not of Equity members. The Equity contract specified a basic forty-eight-hour week, with overtime and pay for rehearsing. The present, form does not. Frank Gillmore, president of Equity, said today that ‘2.800 members are working in pictures and are in sympathy with the closed shop movement. Point Out Rights *'l regret to inform the producers that T have on record scores of instances where actdrs have pointed out their rights under this ‘fair and just contract,’ and always have received the reply: ’Well, what are you going to do about it?' ” 5 “With no organization the film actor could do nothing. Offend one producer and you can offend them all. But I can assure the producers they will learn to appreciate the co-operation of Equity, once we get together. It will then be our pleasure to work together for the prosperity of the industry."

OH! DENVER—THAT ART MUST SUFFERJHUS! 'They—They Called It Trash,’ Says Director; Mourns Modern Exhibit. BY FREDERICK C, OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent DENVER. June 7.—Some modern art is very good. And some is very, very bad. But whether it's good or bad' citizens of Denver think it's bad, Arnold Ronnebeck, dignified and disillusioned director of the art museum here, admitted today in explaining how and why Denver’s first exhibit of modernistic painting lasted just one day. “They—they called it, trash." said Ronnebeck, internationally known sculptor and lithographer, in referring to several unnamed directors of the museum, who were invited to a special exhibition of modernistic paintings from the renowned New York galleries of Stephan Bourgeois and E. Weyhe. No Feeling—for Feeling ‘They insisted upon facts in their pictures,” Ronnebeck added as he continued to refer to the reactionary directors. “They had no feeling for—feeling. And what, if not feeling, is modem art?” “And so,” Ronnebeck concluded. “I had to send the exhibit back.” | The pictures, said one of the anonymous critics, illustrated for I the most part strange mixtures of ! hands and feet, long legs, spiderwebs. square blocks, round balls, i cock-tail glasses, lopsided houses, i pink seas, and broken board fences. “Ah, but the feeling,” Ronnebeck said he interposed. “Yeh—feeling,” he quoted the critic, “a bad headache, maybe.” Still Holds to Hope After considering every aspect of the situation, Ronnebeck said, he boxed the exhibits and sent them post-haste to the Messrs. Bourgeois and Weyhe. With the pictures he sent a letter in which he said that they did not look nearly so well as they did in New York. “But I still have hope,” he said, “of some day establishing an exhibit of modern art in Denver which will be appreciated. It will be a difficult i task, but I have hope—some day.”
