Bates, noted deaf mute instructor
and lecturer, resulted in disclosures
Of the use of profanity by the char
acters in the films.
This condition has been brought to
the attention of the Humane society
and is to be the basis of crusade
for the censoring of the productions

often without the least semblance of
relation to the play being performed.
TIE profanity and obscene language
seem to be addressed by members Of
the companies to one another on the
spur of the moment.
In some instances the profanity is
natural part of the dialogue in the
play. Then 1t is indulged in with dis
regard for the fact that deaf mutes
can read the lips of the performers
as enlarged and thrown on the
screen by the moving picture ma
chimes. Shocking language was used
In oil the shows visited.

that he had heard the couple quarrel

She also said that he had received q

The body still lies at the Whitley
