Johnson, who Is national director from<br />
MlehlRnn Allied, this week.<br />
Allied States Joined with other branches<br />
of the Industry entirely In good faith. Johnson<br />
Insisted, "In cooperative efforts to promote<br />
the best Interests of the whole Industry<br />
and thereby recapture public respect, goodwill<br />
and support."<br />
Exhibitors are In much the same pasltlon<br />
In business as contemporary nations, "forced<br />
by others to gird for war," Johnson said, becau.se<br />
of the reception given to such efforts<br />
by other .segments of the film business. "This<br />
cooperative and conciliatory attitude was<br />
greeted with gouging, confiscatory film prices<br />
which have closed many theatres and<br />
threaten many more. Allied assumed leadership<br />
at Chicago in what seems to be a necessary<br />
war with distributors of film whose greed<br />
or blindness threatens the very existence of<br />
countles.s theatres and the destruction of the<br />
whole industry."<br />
