Labor - Unrest
Noted in
Studios ;
'Supers and Even Some 'Stars'
Declared to Have Joined .
' ' New Union. '
LOS ANGKIES, July 12. A ruling
juct mad by tha stats labor coramls
aioner th first round of a struggl
between two opposing forces in the mo
tion" picture world to that one represent
ing labor. The decision prohibits a
charge for obtaining employment through
the Motion Picture Producers' Exchange
for a period of less than seven days.' La
bor unrit has not escaped tlltndom.. ,
More than 1000 employes of producers
hers have formed the Motion Picture
Players' union, affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of -Labor. The union , is
composed lsa-gely of the humbler actors
and extras of the studios. Now the
studios errploy talent for each picture
through an exchange they have estab-
-- llahed and,' there Is a large new floating'
market that. In the union labor guise, has
grossed. Ianee with the producers and won
ths first bout.. ' -vvJ''j-JJ- , .
The new union claims to include In its
' membership some directors, scenario ed
itors, many camera men and other ex
perts of the industry, and even a few
. stars,;, although no names are given by
Seymour Hastings, secretary, a former
London newspaper man. r
" It is recognised hers that .theraare
potencies of serious trouble in ths hostile
attitude of producers and employes that
now exists.. Secretary Hastings made
tms challenge to the other side : ;v"We
not-only have the enthusiastic backing
of the Federation of Labor, but by close
affiliation with the American Federation
of Musicians, the Moving- Picture Ma
chine Operators' union, the organised bill
.posters, stage employes, etc., we, can
close any theatre in the state that dis
plays a picture made under conditions'
that we regard as unfair toward -the
great body of mental or manual labor
concerned in its making."
- The 'Fortune Teller" Coming . .
Following The Only Girl at the Al
casar, "The Fortune Teller will be the
attraction for the week beginning Mon
day, : July 21. Mabel Wilber will as
sume the role played by Alice Nell son in
the original production and Henry Coot
will have a fine opportunity . for his
splendid tenor -voice as the captain of
the Hussars. Oscar Flgnaan will have
. a line of comedy calculated to keep the
audience in good humor. v
So, Here's the "Perfect Kiss
What 'Every. ManVank vTiat?
HfiRE iwe'havet at ' last the per
fect kiss ! - lolores Cassmelli, whose
brlllian epigrams.- from' "her ', Inspiration
and Ironies of Love,", have aroused ap
preciation and comment, ; was the recip
ient of an -especially . enthusiastic ' ap
praisal from Garnet Warren, the author
of "Twentieth ? Century Cameos.'. '-. He
wrote her- that .! some . of her amatory
laconisras had the "flawless beauty of a
perfect kiss." And knowing, that, she
might expect a glowing response from
the "passionate poet Of the Antipodes."
Miss Cassinelli, while' - graciously ac
knowledging his tribute, propounded the
question : r Just .what is a perfect kissr;
And now she is in the deliciously be
wildering knowledge , of the oeculatory
secret. .Here is how Mr. Warren .tells
iti T saw you "give "a shadowy revela
tion of the perfect kiss in The Unknown
Love.' And. knowing that it was merely
artistio ' simulationL and barren ! of spul
intimacies .of the -wonderful actuality, I
shall be glad to tell. you. the truth of it,
according to my poor conception. " The
perfect kiss depends upon Aa simple art,
however exceptional that" art, may be.
Soul and soul .must there be who shall
perfoiTn the higher;, functionspluck, so
to speak,, the rarer garlands fit pleasure.
"They will be subtly; attuned, these
two : the selfsame languors must possess
them both, the same dice sense ; effects.
An equilibrium, there must be, which the
balance of a breath . might well destroy.
Such is a kiss. v There may be contacts,
understand me. in, which, he more finely
adjusted, balances . are lacking I have
known, of many such but the kiss su
preme, in all the thrills of -its responsive
trernulations, and dewed testacies and
yielding, unselfish warmth Ah, Child of
Romance how- precious a gif t, and how
memorable !' , v t .
