Hays Ultimatum (.Continued from Page 1) ure to acquaint men in the key cities with every phase and element of what was hoped to be accomplished, but he added this error was being rectified for future operations. Speaking of se.xy titles, he said they would be changed to conform to the generally accepted standard of morals existing throughout the country. He left nothing to the imagination when he declared there was no room for those in the industry who failed to co-operate in the new plan. He said; "Make no mistake about this: those who have responsibility are going to join in our action to make good to the press and the public. The men who make pictures are here tonight. Also those that do the exploitation. I do not have to say any more." Hays then touched on the exploitation meihods at theaters and mentioned specifically the twenty-four sheets in and around Los Angeles on "For Sale." playing at Loew's State. His particular objection was to those that read "For Sale" — A Woman." No mention was made, however, of the advertising used at other downtown theaters. Suggestive advertising has been used by them rather generally. At the conclusion of the speech, Hays was assured of undivided support in the form of a resolution.
