'''SIR A. CONAN DOYLE AS A PUBLICITY AGENT?'''<br />
<br />
"[[Daily Express]]" Correspondent.<br />
<br />
NEW YORK, Monday, June 5.<br />
<br />
It is suggested that [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] has been used presumably unconsciously, as a publicity agent for the purpose of securing world-wide notices for a new film. [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] mystified the guests at the magicians' dinner on Friday night by showing them a film of<br />
dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.<br />
<br />
Threats are now being made that this exhibition infringed somebody's copyright and that legal redress may be sought. [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur]] refuses to discuss this phase of the matter, but says that the pictures were not spiritualistic, and that his purpose was simply to play a joke on the magicians.<br />
<br />
The newspapers have dropped the incident, apparently not being desirous of contributing more free advertising space to a film publicity enterprise.<br />
