| LOndOnS dissatisfaction WIFI ~"
play censor calls attention to the
state of affairs which exists not only
in England but in America. Theatrl-
cal promoters have, within the past
few years, presented a large number OF
and in certain places censorship
has been provided. But as is usual
| in such cases the promoters were
not satisfied with the censor. They
gathered about them a remarkable
large proportion of the theatre goers
to support the claim that the plays
ruled out were no worse than those
which were permitted to run.
The chief objector in England has
been George Bernard Shaw, and it is
significant that he has offered to fill
the vacancy which is likely to occur in
the censor's office. Whether he would
be able to censor his own plays to his
own satisfaction is matter of doubt
as lie IS d CIlIOIllC ODJtSlOI.
The matter assumes a more serious
aspect as the moving picture shows
enter into more intimate relation
with the American home. Thousands
of these little theatres are running and
they are filled each day with millions
of women and children. Their in
fuence can easily be for great good or
for as great evil. New York censors
the picture shows rigidly but there is
no limit at the more pretentious
theatres.
1t is said that half the French films
sent to America are returned at once
as indecent. This is not so much be-
cause the proprietors of the houses
object to running such films or be-
cause the people will not tolerate
them. Nothing cuts down the receipts
of a moving picture show more
quickly than does film which is of
questionable character. On the other
hand the more pretentious theatres do
a rushing business when they adver-
tise plays with suggestive titles or
plays which are in themselves sugges-
tive.
These facts could easily lead us to
believe that the man whose amuse
ment is confined to the nickle is more
nearly moral than is the man who can
pay $500 for seat. Certain it is that
the high priced shows do not suffer
when they portray Partisan follies
Another strange feature is the fact
that these Objectionable shows do not
pay on the road. We are, therefore.
lead to the conclusion that the people
as a whole demand clean entertain
ment and that the tendency toward
filth is working more harm than good
to those financially interested. There
is no need of censor to give his time
to telling the people what they wan-.
An immoral show is easily reached
through other chalmers. A show
which is suggestive soon ceases to at
tract and the promoter alone is the
loser.
