Motion Picture Ethics.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In an article of your issue of Septem- Der l, entitled, "Motion Picture Sing ers." the question was brought up of the ethical position of the motion picture show in modern city life.
 For the benefit of those whose concep- tion of the moving picture show Is based on certain disreputable type of theatre which at one time was quite numerous, we would like to say that in every city throughout the country the whole tone of the moving picture amusement has been raised. and is being improved all the time. One of the largest manufacturing com- panies of motion pictures in this country Is now staging biblical pictures, tho seen arios of which are being furnished by the Rev. Madison c. Peters. ono of New York's most prominent clergymen.
 As moving pictures are very much in the public mind at the present moment possibly the news value of the enclosed folder will appeal to you. Very truly yours, WALTER STOREY.
 New York, September g, 1909.
