The bureau has fre- quently been asked to take the init tive in establishing a unified observ- ance of music week and for this rea- son It geemed important to C. M. Tre- maine, director of the bureau, to sound out the general opinion before taking decided steps in the matter. According to the bureau's records music weeks have been held in ninety-four cities to date, and many others are being planned now for_the late winter and early spring. New York, San Francisco, Detrolt, Denver. Washington, D. C.; Dallac, St. Paul, Omaha and other important centers already have observed two or three annual music weks, while Philadel- phia, Los Angele iimington, De and ‘'scores of smaller cities are r cent recrults. The growth of the movement dates back only to Febru- ary, 1920, when the pioneer music week on a comprehensive basis was held in New York, and the record in- >‘udes none but those which were | complete city-wide observances, en- listing the co-operation not only of the musical element but of churches, schoolg, women's clubs, hotels. indus- trial plants and a vast number of or- gantzations not directly connected with music but realizing the Impor- tance of its greater utilization.

The month of May received the larg- est vote as the most appropriate sea- son for the event, with April and June tying for second place, and Oc- tober third. Probably the most striking fact brought out by the questionnaire was the relatively small expense in- volved In many of these extensive celebrations. In most citles of less than 60,000 population the outlay of the central committee was under $200. In Birmingham, Ala. it was : in Sacramento, Calif., $300; in fi:‘-‘llll‘. Wash., $490. Even in San Francisco, whére many speclal tures were included in addition to the usual activities, the expnediture was only $3,600, and of this nearly half was contributed from the clty treasury.

HAYS WASHES HANDS OF ARBUCKLE’S FUTURE Removes Himself as Bar to Re- Entry in Movies, But Leaves De- cision to Public. ted Press. January €-—Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Pilc- ture Producers and Distributors of America, has issued what he termed his final word on the case of Roscoe C. Arbuckle: Mr. Hays. statement was issued after a long conference with his com- mittee on public relations concern- Ing the status of the comedy star, who was banned from the screen after the sensational death of Vir- ginla Rappe, screen actress, at_ & drinking party in Ban Franclsco. Mr. Flays expressed the bellef that Ar- buckle should have a chiance to “make good” after he had been acquitted of a charge of slaying her. Mr. Hays' “final” statement follows: All suggestions which have been received from all view points—and they are many and varled—will be reférred to the proper parties. This is the kind of question that must be left finally to the judgment of the public, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, to those who have busi- ness assoclations with the individi himself.
