HAYS BRANDS CENSORSHIP Says It’s Contrary to Principles of Government; Working Hard NEW YORK mand for censorship will be met by this organization ana when ft 1 met, then the issue of censorship will bess,” This te the declaration of Will Hays in his first intervtew since his | ~ election as preskient of the Motion Picture Producers and Ditributors of America, “The American peonte are just as much against censiship, be- cause it is un-American, as they are against wrongdoing, because it is unAmerican, It lb not so much the censorship that gives terror to the true American as the principle involved. “Censorship is contrary to the Principles on which this govern- ment is founded, and, | repeat, the demand for censorship will be met Just as we accept the chal lenge of the American youth that Its pictures shall give to it the right kind of entertainment and instruction. “I'll give you my wort that cen- e@orship was never menttone! in my negotiations with the producers be- fore 1 accepted the position. In @ recent prepared statement Hays urged that special «{.ention be given to pictures for boys, covering Bature studies, physical training, hunting, fishing and camping, and that these pictures be shown free on Saturday morvings. FREQUENTLY ON JOB 20 HOURS A DAY Haye frequently works 29 hours a @ay on his new fod. Conferences, and correspondence. “I'm working harder than ever be fore In my life,” he says. “I went te a theater the other night at 8 o'clock to study the exh'bite:s’ bust mess. I stayed until 2 ta the morn. “The most marvelous thing to me ‘was the way the ‘scorer’ works. Most people, I suppose, imagine ar I did that a film is merely sent from a dis. tributor to a theater and *urned over to the operator. Why. tho scorer is the whole show.

I'ts my whole job in a breath.” He thumped the table with clenched fist as he talked. “GETTING TOGETHER” OF MOST IMPORTANCE “The job itself? Your joh? you ® program?” he was asked. fm just ing to work,” Hays answered. 'm going to work fast I plan and work and execute rapid. ly, but there are a lot of things to work out. The big thing, : seems to me, is this ‘getting togetler.’ Before the producers organized th!© ussocia- tion they were working independent ly and at cross purposes. They were quarreling and wrangling. There was no getting together on any thing. “The film Industry has grown to be the fourth largest in the nation. It must take its rightful place with steel and oil. “Business reform, elimination of waste—there are a iot of things to be worked out. There will be no trouble in the future among the pro- ducers.

A cross section of Everett bust- ness men, selected at random along Hewitt ave, the main business ar- tery, showed the following results: . SHUMWAY, grocer, 2102 Hewitt ave, “Everybody kicks on them. I don't get the phone calls I used to, Per sonally I'm saving $2 a month, but I seldom use the phone.” SsTor AND SHOP GROCERY, 2018 Hewitt ave: “The phone costs me more than it used to.” SAVOY HOTEL, MKS. EF. SON: “I don't like it. It costs me more now.” KRONFELD BROTHERS, 2016 Hewitt ave. don’t know what it cost the last month, but if it's more than it used to be, I'll have it taken out.” “If you could hear what people say about those phones,” sai! a promin. ent cigar stand proprietor, fused permission to use his name, “you'd soon decide what we bave to do—to fight them to the last ditch They're awful, terrible, fierce. We're all scared to use ons, When a cus tomer asks to use my phone he lays a dollar down on top of it.”* A prominent shoe store owner told me that he had decided to have his residence phone taken oui, because it registered a “terrific” Increase. He declared that he had newr heard his customers say anything gvod of the new system. In direct contrast to the flood of anathema that has descended upon who re the luckless telechronomater, fe th following statement of M H. Bridg-| ham, 1906 Hewitt ave. @ stationer: “Fine! Wonderful!

JEWELL, of the Jew. ell Collection agency, announced that she had been presented with a bill for $18, the first month of the tele chronometer tryout. She said she might have the phone removed. In the residence districts, “The Star among the housewives, the princ objec. tion is not the increase? cost, but the curtailment of service. One hun dred per cent of Everett women are using the phones onty to order the family grocertes and to answer calls, Out of an even doren house- wives questioned on two fairly representative residence avenues, only one declared that she Hey syed the new talk meters.” She is business woman who does litue or no phoning, but answerer calls.
