"Acting under the orders of the Motion Picture Projectionists Association, a non-union organization composed of colored motion picture operators, projectionists in the Franklin Theatre, 132nd street and Lenox avenue, walked out today (Thursday) causing a stopping of the performance for 15 minutes. The strike was called after the manager of the theatre, Mr. Brierman, refused to accept for consideration, a contract, drawn up by the Association, asking for improvements in working hours and conditions".
