MIRROR FILMS, FROM THE MAILBOX

A reader writes: I am fascinated by the roguish antics of Clifford Harmon and his time in the movie business. Did that company actually ever produce any films?

Response: Yes, Mirror Films, Inc. (also known as Mirror Studio) did produce a small number of films during its brief existence from 1915 to 1918. The company was founded by Clifford B. Harmon, a prominent real estate developer and aviator, with the goal of applying standardized business efficiency to the film industry—treating movies as "canned product."

Films Produced by Mirror Films
Despite its short lifespan and frequent legal troubles, the studio successfully released several titles:
The Marriage Bond (1916): A drama directed by Lawrence Marston.
Turned Up (1916): A production directed by Lawrence Marston.
A Wall Street Tragedy (1916): A drama featuring Nat Goodwin.
The Lion's Mail (1916): Another of the studio's early releases.

Company History and Dissolution---The studio was headquartered in New York City at 16 East 42nd Street, with production facilities in Glendale, Long Island. The company's trajectory was cut short by several factors:

Rapid Capital Depletion: The studio exhausted its working capital by mid-1916.
Legal Battles: Mirror Films became mired in high-profile lawsuits, most notably a breach of contract suit filed by actor Nat Goodwin, which significantly damaged the company's finances.

Final Closure: By 1918, the combination of financial mismanagement and legal disputes forced the company out of business.

MOST RECENT US SUPREME COURT PARENTAL RIGHTS RULING---MIRABELLI V. BONTA

A subject of intense discussion on some of our local facebook pages; here's a breakdown and the legal documents:

Uniting NYS Newsletter--News Alerts & Updates--March 26, 2026

SCOTUS Parental Rights Ruling

 Let’s break down the most recent U.S. Supreme Court parental rights ruling:

The U.S. Supreme Court just stepped in on a case out of California: Mirabelli v. Bonta, blocking a policy that allowed schools to withhold critical information from parents about their own children, even major, life-altering issues.

Schools were operating under policies where they could:  Keep secrets from parents

Treat children differently at school without parental knowledge

And the Supreme Court said: not so fast.

 What this ruling DOES:
 Reinforces that parents have a constitutional right to be involved in their child’s upbringing
 Makes clear schools cannot deceive or mislead parents
 Sends a strong signal that parental rights don’t disappear at the schoolhouse door

What happens next:
Back to the lower courts, the Supreme Court’s order was temporary, it hit the pause button to protect parents while the case continues.
California courts will now examine the full lawsuit and decide the final outcome using this ruling as a guiding principle.

Bottom line: The highest court in the land is acknowledging what should never have been up for debate:

 Parents get to raise their kids. Not the government. Not the school system.
