Hays Is Official

*'Doug” Denies Former Post
master General Drawing
$150,000 Year to ‘'Up
lift" Film Industry.
I.os Angeles, t'al., Jan. '.'ti.— Will II.
11a; s. titular head of the motion pic
lure industry. Is “the official fixer of
the films" and draws hia yearly salary
of $100,000 In th»( capacity, and is not
tiie “upllfter of the movies," Doug
las Fairbanks, motion picture star,
declared, the Los Angeles Times states |
today. !
Mr. Fairbanks made the declaration, |
the Times said, in an Interview in ,
width he commented upon his hope
of handing together the stars of film
Clom under a "gentleman's agree
merit." which would "give photoplay
patrons art,” instead of w hat the j
parasites of the industry, as he
termed them, "think is art.”
Plans Tor (Stars.
He made public several weeks ago
lie plana for grouping the leading
actors and actresses of the screen in
a combination designed to assure them ]
a free hand in making and distrlbut
ing their products.
The group includes himself, his
t ife, Mary Plekford: Charlie tilvaplin.
1'ola Negri, to whom Chaplin is sail)
to be engageJTo marry, and Harold
Idoyd. It plans to deal with no huge
cinema corporation in the production
or distribution of ils films, hut to
transact Ils affairs more directly with
ihe exhibitors throughout the country, i
A direct and flat-footed defiance of
Mr. Hays and the motion picture
producers and distributors was said
by the Times to be Mr. Fairbanks'
plan.
It was when asked about this that
be declared Mr. Hays was not the
"moral uplifter of (ho movies," as foe
vas termed sometime ago.
“Hired Intermediary.”
“Mr, Hays has nothing whatever to
do with the art or morals of the mo
tion picture Industry,” asserted Mr.
Fairbanks. “He is simply the hired
intermediary, or ‘flxer.’ Ho lias done
wonderful work In straightening out
the censorship tangle, but that, and
only that is his function.
"When Mr. Hays was here last
month. 1 told him the public ought to
lie informed that ‘moral uplift’ was
hot his role.
“I admire his ability and admire
him rs a man. blit I belies bis true
status should be made known.”
He was rjuoted as condemning the
film faction he described as "para
sites” as being meiv without vision,
thoughtful, not of the future of mo
tion picture?, but only of the money
to be made from them.
