Counsel on Bench (Special to THE FILM DAILY) Kansas City, Kan. — Richard J. Hopkins, former attorney general, who has acted as counsel to the .Kansas M. P. T. O., has been elected a Supreme Court Justice. Unusual Suggestion (Continued from Page I) duced Hays, easily made the real hit of the evening. He created roars of laughter. He said that originally he had been told he was to introduce the man at the head of the greatest amusement industry, and that he had spent two weeks gathering statistics and information oil his subject. Then. he said, much to his surprise, because he had gathered his statistics about "boot-legging," he, was told to present Hays as the head of the movie industry. He described moving pictures as "a lot of storm with different names to them," and created a roar when he said, introducing Hays, that when the Republican Party went into power in 1920, they promised prosperity. "Hays is the only one that's got it," he said. General Hays made a characteristic speech, and reiterated a number of the statements that he has made on previous occasions with reference to the importance of the industry. When Irvin S. Cobb introduced Thomas, and in discussing Plays, he significantly declared that "sensualship was just a head of censorship" at the time Hays was appointed. He got a big laugh by adding, if Hays failed as director-general extraordinary of the movies, "they could use l.im as understudy for Jackie Coogan." When the pjcture producers, following the lead of tive baseball magnates, wanted an imposing head for their industry, said Cobb, they told their committee they rriust get a man of letters, and misunderstanding this, the committee got .Hays. This reference to Hays' activity as former Postmaster-General brought a big laugh. There were a number of inrportant motion picture film folk at the affair, including ^^'illiam Fox, Al Lichtman. Ralph Kohn, Arthur and David Loew and Eugene Zukor.
