G.. asking for "F. B. Siiii." His Committee Opposes Hays Prominent Members of Ha\-' Organization Would Bar Arbuckle. Will Hays' own committee on pub lic relations came out last wfek in a stand against the return of Arbuckle to the screen, according to a recent story carried by New York papers. The committee on public relations, headed by l.ee F. Hamer of the Rus sell Sage foundation in New York, was organised last June as a pet project of Will Hays, and represents national civic, religious and educational bod ies. Such men and women are Julius Karnes, national president of the chamber of Commerce: Mrs. Herbert Hoover of the Girl Scouts, Mrs. Olive Hurriman of the Camp Fire Girls. Ur. John R .Mott, Y. M, C. A. leader, and Mrs. Raymond Robbins of the Woman's Trade Union league, are members. This was the group which came out ii flat defiance of Hays' vMws. first, on the grounds that Arbuckle’s re turn would be detrimental to the youth of America, and. second, he i tuse it would diminish the confi dence of the public in the motion pic ture produccis who have gone on i old as wishing to maintain the highest possible moral and artistic standards in the movies. The committee further recommend ed that Hays advise the industry at large io refrain from exhibitng Ar liucUle's pictures. Film Flashes.
