others, whose patriotism might In

customs, accept highway robbery as

CUT OUT THE CRIME.

We accept moving pictures as one
of the most innocent diversions ever
invented for the pleasure of the city
man, and lifelike representations Of
scenes in remote parts of the world
and of public events are educational
in their nature; but we do assert that
the depletion of life in the Paris
slums, for instance, wherein a wom-
an, sitting on a table drinking with a
man, nonchalantly shoots her foot

the revolving details of a murder or
assault, are neither edifying TO the
adult, nor particularly beneficial TO
the adoescent mind. Cut out the
crime pictures, Mr.. Moving Picture
