WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Pushing
a SOC, 100000 load off the shoulders
of the motion picture producers each
year will be the first move of the
Hays regime.
~ By radical change in the method
OF distributing the films to exhibitors
a system of trfplicate handling in
shipment will be done away with.
1t will cost between S25,000,000 and
$50, 900, 900 to put the new plan in op-
GRAFTON as it involves building opera
tions in 100 principal cities where
new structures averaging between
S250,O00 and 100000 will be erected.
In substance when the plans are
completed, it means that the Ameri-
can Railway Express company will
become the "postal service" of the
film industry and it will act as the
clearing house. for all the produc-
erS.
If the undertaking is success, it
may result in its adoption by other
industries and will cause revolution
in transportation methods involving
the savings of millions and millions
of dollars to corporations.
hoCCtb NA. So"lt, VICE plGSIucIll
and general manager of the American
Railway Express Company who di-
rected the work of merging the seven
major express companies during the
war, worked out the plan by which it
is proposed that his company will be-
come the distributing agent for mo-
ton picture concerns with joint
capital of approximately $500, 700, 900
Cowie carried out the negotiations,
which are now practically complete,
with representatives Of the greatest
American producers including Fa-
nous Players-Lasky Corporation; Fox
Film Corporation; Universal; First
National Exhibitors; Goldwyn, Unit
ed Artists, etc.
By the proposed new plan the
American Express Company would
build a clearing house in 100 section
al distribution points to which the
producers would ship their films with
posters and advertising matter.
All the films for the exhibitors in
the metropolitan district of New
York would be shipped to the New
York express office, where the ex-
press company will assemble all the
shipments to one exhibitor and make
one delivery several days in advance
cf the release date on the pictures.
In this manner. the sectional dis
tribution offices of the express COM
pany would function for the movie
industry just as the postoffice does
for the mail districts.
Under the existing conditions the
movie producers have in Chicago
