Moving picture shows are a popuial
form OF amusement that appeal alike
to both juvenile and grownup audi
ences. But on account OF the often
meretricious character OF these shows
many parents have forbidden their
young children from frequenting thess
places of entertainment.
Now this ban of disapproval may be
safely lifted for recently q board of
censors has been appointed to pass
upon the moral and educational view

film can be used by any manager with
out the stamp OF its approval.
In line with woman's activities In all

has been appointed a member Of the
censors' board.
This unusual honor came about at a
meeting of the board at which Miss
Langford was an invited guest. At
this meeting the question of allowing
films to be made. depicting the life OF
