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.
