The formula for keeping "nndeslrahla, storeis and "notorious persons out or mo tion pictures,! has been explained by Will H. Hajr. "How is it dope?" he was asked, when It was recalled that, several notorious individual failed to ap pear ip the movies after their own announcement of "fabulous" of fers from producers.! "The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America does not censor stories." said Its presi dent, "nor , do we bar anybody from pictures., "If you ask claimants for . the names of the companies that mad them offers, Uhey will be unable to tell you.' In every case, the wish to get 'easy money' from the picture producers is father of their announcement. Our investi gations show that in no case has such a persoa told the truth, when they said they had received offers' to appear in the mories." While the-companies are not prevented from making such -offers, Mr. Hayes said,' the com pan ies themselves did not want such people. ( , . ... "Neither does the publio want them. The morbid curiosity of the publio is often over-estimated. A few hundred will crowd to get into a court room and millions will eagerly read the pews about a sensational case, but they wont walk across the street and pay 23 cents to see one of .these persons try to imitate a motion picture actor. "Just because a man or woman gets a great deal of publicity is no reason why the people of New York, Dallas and Topeka, or Cal cutta and Melbourne would go to see them in a motion picture. They would have just as much success as a motion picture actor as a nov elist, a singer or a violinist. On much the same grounds the motion picture rights to a salacious play or book, are never worth much. "This is the formula, under which we operate: If any producer of our group. is offered the picture Tights to a book or play about which he has any doubt I mean as to its propriety for general showing he notifies this office. If the association agrees with the producer that it would be unwise to plcturize the subject, the pro ducer refrains from doing so. Then all the other members of the organization voluntarily abide by this decision. , . "In this way, not only are cer tain subjects failing to -reach, the publie through the screen, but it is possible that literature itself may be raised in moral tone be cause authors want their works to be picturised. They know this will not be done unlfiss their crea tions meet certain obviously proper standards. - "More than 150 books and plays have been rejected by mem-r bers of our organization under this formula. The authors of such books and plays contend-i-and with perhaps some Justification that they are simply reflecting some aspects of life. If motion picture makers were to deal with such themes and situations they. . ROLLER SKATING Tuesday, Friday. Saturday From 7;0 to 10:30 P. II. DREAMLAND RINK .
