Hays states that he would not even listen to an arrang'^ment of that sort. xte. llnys believes lb:it now, for tlTo flrtit time since his advent in the picture industry, he has the wheels working In the right direc- tion, through which he will bo en- abled to perform constructive ser- vice which will be for the general good of the exhibitor as well st» tha , producer and distributor. He la loath to leave the active executive (Tirectton of his organization any time within the next few years. Hays says that he is nut going back Into politics for a number ot ' years, and that he is going to aticlc to the job he has on his hand in the film buslnesa. Up to the preMnt Hays has b«tn at the film helm for about 18 months, and has about a like length of time to continue on his present contract.

HOW COME" IN BALTO - (Continued from page 1) its audiences were not the aiult- « ences which atteAd t)^ legltimat* ^ theatre in th« winter. And the i show, although the whttea^laugbed i at it and enjoyed It, wai not ap- j plauded lustily by them. Also, 36 ,^- women each night In the tbeatr* I woMd be the outclde number. Tb«^. rest of the white* were men. - j, Another interesting experiment '' was tried—and worked. The Gay- ; ety, where tha ahow played, is S \ burlestiue house on East Baltlmora* street, and ita floor is divided into ^ three section*, the left hand *Ido /' section being reserved for negroM '. and th^ boxes on that side of tha ;■ house also being turned over t<»-^ them at |1.M high. This price also h went tor 10 row* back on the or* "^ chostra tloor. The rest ot the floor ' was given over to the whites, wbll* '" the two balconle* were devoted to r' the darkles. They filled the hotwo,': nightly and at the matinees, a* dl4 , the white people. Altogether the show struck a lit- ,: tie over |t,000 on the week and will be held over tor three days next .' week, 'it having this op»n time be- fore taking'^i^ it* Shubert book* Ings. ' The next real experiment will (^ come the week ot Sept. 10, when ;< the Auditorium will open with :i "Liza," a higher .type show, but,!' withal, colored.
