An Every-dax Fraud.

To the Editor of the Evening Star
1 would like to place before the pub
lie fraud that is going on right under
our very eyes, something that is talked
about every day and still is not under
stood. l mean the great flaring signs
which moving picture houses display In
front of their places to draw the
crowds into their show. Every day
people see. these thrilling signs and go
into these places expecting to see the
well-advertised pictures thrown on the
screen But they are very often mis-
led, because the owners use these
signs for a stall; that is, they buy
these signs advertising high-priced pic
lures and then when the people get
inside they see nothing but cheap plays
shown on the screens. I think that it
is up to the authorities to see that the
public is not misled by these cheap
moving picture show owners

Local Censor Board.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
An article appearing in your paper
drawing attention to the evils of NOV
ing pictures that depict stories of
wanton crime should be followed with
some religious effort toward the cor
rection of this evil, which although
reduced by national board of censors
has not been entirely eliminated.
There is no regulation without power
to rule, and regulation of all pictures
displayed before children should be
had. A local board of censors could
be appointed for this purpose, and if
an indiscriminate use of undesirable
pictures is being made the matter could
be brought to the proper authorities
and dealt with accordingly.
Good, wholesome pictures, if insisted
upon by the authorities and demanded
by the moving picture men, would soon
deplete the market of the undesirable
and dangerous sort.

neatly dressed, some that He was
rugged. No two men agreed upon His
appearance or His manner. Paris be-
came a tumult All kinds of people
visited the Christ, worshiped Him.
On page SO we read: "The most re-
markable of them was professional
Snowman, or impresarin, known the
world over. particularly in North ana
South America. He came to ask Jesus
to allow him to make up a company
and organize tour. He brought
references with him. We shall make
millions, he declared. The temptation
will be without popular interest, for
there is no desert now in which to go
to fast We must hurry on to the
passion Where shall it be to start
with? Why not in Paris?'" F"
1t is recorded that Jesus merely let
him talk Paris became honest on the
instant. Men declined to do business
on any other terms than those dictated
by integrity. People stopped lying to
each other. Singularly enough, this
condition created confusion. Every
thing was thrown upside down. Bust
ness could not go on. Mobs filled the
streets People starved. They froze.
In the midst of 1t the visitor preached
a new sermon on the mount, sermon
for Paris, one might say for New
York. Paris asked itself finally what
to do. 1t seemed a matter of self
preservation. The prefect of police
went to the president of France.
"A few more days of this sort or

of our government" and the president
replied: ITO find the remedy we must
lay hands on the cause of the trouble.
The trouble comes from the extraor-
binary honesty which has come into
Paris like a new form Of disease.
Everybody is suffering from 1t. The
consequences are terrible"
The president and the prefect of po-
lice determined what to do. They
must get rid of the cause. They must
rid Paris of this pestilence. The prefect
undertook the task.

it would be for us to go back. The
