Trial records reveal alleged blackmail in Gruber case
James Handler testified at the trial that Frances Gruber’s husband, Albert McMurtry, spoke of a scheme to obtain $10,000 from him and that Gruber had threatened his sister with money. McMurtry denied the New York and hotel visits and claimed his wife’s testimony was misleading while Gruber admitted discussing settlements, and defense contends the suit is a conspiracy to extract money, calling it a badger.

First Irish film shown at Tremont Temple
An evening on Erin's soil drew a large audience as Tremont Temple screened the first Irish Film Company of America photoplay Knock-mna-Gow based on Charles J. Kieckham’s novel. The tale follows rural life with Irish settings, strong native actors, a wedding, eviction, deathbed scene, and a reunion in America. Over 190 Ireland views are shown, with Irish ballads by Thomas F. Kelly and a comedy The Courtship of Widow Malone. Senator-elect David I Walsh welcomed the project for a faithful Irish life portrayal on screen and stage, and the orchestra was expanded to ten pieces.
