HAYSSUCCEEDS
In CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

Now 1t can be told. The 35 or
more producers concerned with
supplying the motion picture
screens with features have
solemnly agreed with Will Hays
that there will be no more lurid
exploitation. Meaning that those
ad writer's who by adjectives and
pictorial decoration endeavored to
make it sexploitation have been
peremptorily ordered to cease and
desist or add to the current url'
employment problem.
The orders from the higher'up
were in such plain and out
spoken language as to constitute
an ultimatum. Ignore them at
your peril was the final warning.
About 40 titles submitted for
registration were axed as too Sug'
gestive.
Victory in the fight for clean
advertising is due to the per5is-
tent campaign Of the viii Hays
organization in which it enlisted
And secured the complete co-opera-
ton Of the metropolitan news
papers.
one of the factors that fastened
the action was the knowledge that
one Of the national reform organi-
zations had circulated on Capitol
EIill 1900 copies Of offensive
movie propaganda and was using
it as q telling argument Tor re-
strictive and censorship legisla-
ton.

Hammerstein Quits?

This department, which has a
real yearning to be down in the
front row for a swell musical
comedy, learns with regret that
Arthur HamInerstein has post
poned the arrival Of "Sweet Ade-

date. It seems that Philadelphia
is giving this HammerStein musi-
cal nectar bumper business and
so the booking has been pro-
1onged.
Producer Hammerstein, by the
way, announces that he has quit
making musical comedies for at
least two seasons. He withdraws
"Ballyhoo," with Comedian Will
Fields, from Broadway tonight
and declares to the world that
he has lost $1,350,000 in his last
eight productions and the busi-

Weather conditions were ideal and

the mountains and the desert flora
we're at their best. Great forests of
ocotillo, already in bloom and al
most enveloped in blossoms, were
traversed for miles, and the great
gorge of the Coyote, which most of
the party saw for the first time yes
terday, left them breathless when
they first gazed into its rugged
depths.
There were no casualties reported
on the entire trip, and members of
