CRUSADE NOW
TAKEN UP IN ORANGE.
Police Commission Asked to Suppress
theatrical Bills Which Are
Claimed to Be Harmful.

Following the example set by this city in
an effort to prevent moral contamination of
weak and youthful minds, the Civic Club
of Orange has decided to ask the Orange
Police Commission to establish a censorship
over theatrical posters used on billboards
and in windows in that city, and also estab-
fish some control over productions at a
local playhouse. The matter will be taken
up by the Orange authorities at once, it is
expected, and needed reforms accomplished.
Many of the cheap playhouses utilize
space on signs in Orange to exploit their
melodramatic and variety shows, resulting
in a display of some crude vulgarity, it is
claimed. To an extent the Orange authori-
ties have stopped the bad effect of the
flaring posters by using blank posters, hut
the evil still exists in a measure, 1t Is
alleged. T..
The matter of supervision of posters, II
brought to lie attention of this depart
ment, will be attended to, don't worry,
said Chief Washer today when qucs-
toned. ut is a good plan for the citizens
To interest themselves in these matters ana
this denartment will do anything within its
power to remove offending posters. In Or
ange good plays and bright, ATTRACTIVE
clean performances are welcomed, hut there
is no occasion to exploit a show IN me
manner some Of the companies have iiaunt-
ed coarse pictures | will gladly cooperate
with any move to accomplish a REFORM, anu

minds of the young ana lnorpld VIII NC

and add their appeal to thai of the owes
