.CRITICISE LOCAL
MOVING PICTURE
FEATURES
Some Pictures Shown Said to
Be Objectionable
MOST OF THEM ALL RIGHT
Manager Barley States He Makes
Effort to Get High Glass Pictures
and viii Cut Out All Others

In common with the rest OF the
country at the present time Benning-
ton is experiencing some of the trou-
bles connected with the moving pic
ture business This new form of
amusement which has grown with
leaps and bounds during the past
year, has met storm or opposition
in many cities on account of the pic
lures shown in some of the theatres
at various times. While it is not
claimed that these pictures, as a rule,
Interested in the welfare of the people
are immoral, clergymen and others
assert that some of the films are OBJ
iectionable on account of the improp-
er ideas they convey to the mind, es-
pecially of children.
During the past week considerable
comment was made relative to two Of
the pictures shown during the regular
performance Some of the local min
listers visited library hall theatre dur
ing the week and were convinced that
the pictures in question were immoral
and should be expurgated. The re-
mainder of the entertainment they
pronounced satisfactory.
In his sermon Sunday, one of the
local ministers openly criticised the
Objectionable features he had seen
while attending the theatre and plain
ly stated that he did not consider this
form Of amusement, unless properly
conducted, fit for children.
To the credit of Manager c. G..
Berkeley it should be stated that the
moving picture business as a whole,
has been conducted on as high moral
plane in this town as any in the coun-
try. Mr.. Berkeley has used great
care in selecting his films and has
cut out anything which he thought
would cause any criticism He stated
this morning that he intends to visit
the local ministers and conform his
entertainment with their opinion as
nearly as possible. 1t is not to be
expected that any legitimate amuse-
ment can be carried on proftably in
this or any other town. on the lines
Of a Sunday school class but Mr..
Berkeley says that he will not inten-
tionally allow any pictures that could
be considered immoral or which could
in any particular give children wrong
