HAYS TO END
MOVIE'LOSSES
Will Do Away With System
of Duplication in Sales
Practice
WILL EARN HIS
SALARY EASY
BY HUGH BAuLIE,
U. p. Stan Correspondent.)

CU. p. stan Correspondent.)
Copyright. 1929. by United Press.)
NEW YORK. Jan. 17.-This is
the inside story Of why the NOV
ing picture magnRtes can AFFORD to
pay win II. Hays. one hundred and
nfty thousand dollars year.
All the altruistic and uphft pur-
poses attributed 10 the move may
be properly endorsed but the true
story is the extremely practical plan
Of an extremely practical set OF big
business men behind one OF the big
gest Of Americas industries.
The masters OF the moving pic
ture business definitely expect that
WIN II. Hays. by harmonizing the
Industries business policy will save
for them and therefore in effect earn
for them ten times his salary.
That Is why they were able 20 in
duce Hays to give up his position as
Postmaster General In the cabinet
OF President Harding to become the
lands OF the Movies"
The explanation Is in the fact that
the great trouble with the moving
picture business at present is dupli-
cation in sales. There are perhaps
five hundred big, financially respon-
sible moving picture theatres In the
country, but there are about twelve
thousand smaller theatres which
constitute the bulk OF the business.
These small theaters in order to get
the various features from various
companies, contract annually for
far more pictures than they can
use. They pay for only the pic
lures that they do use and the big
producers are helpless. They can
not collect for the unknown pic
lures in many cases without ac-
tually closing up the small theatr,
which Is the last thing they desire
TO do.
The loss in 1877 on unshown pic.
lures ran from fifteen 10 thirty pei
cent. OF the entire contracted bus.
ness OF most OF the largest concerns
With the annual business runninf
over one hundred millions thi
would mean a loss OF over hfteer
million dollars and a saving OF
very small percentage. in fact. on,
per cent. would pay the salary o
the former postmaster general.
The big producers in the agree
ment with Hays propose TO form
definite system for the exchange o
information. the first that ever ha
been possible in the Industry. Their
will be a real organization workinl
on proper and acceptable lines whicl
will be designed TO eliminate tn
enormous waste now involved in tn
heavy duplication OF sales Hays. a
the head OF this organization, will b
in position TO save enormous sum
for the industry and at the sam
time carry out his desires in IN
way OF higher standards and IN
general uplift OF the business.
b But behind all other purposes an
the real decisive influence whic
brought the great producers tC
J gether was the necessity for elm
J mating the tremendous loss fror
: which they are all suffering acutel
by the action OF the small exhib
tors in buying many more picture
, than they can display.
