HORRORS Of WHITE
SLAVE At TRACTION

One of the main attractions with
the Capital City Amusement Com
pany now showing in this city and
an entertainment that is causing a
great deal Of comment is the ''Hor-
rors of the White Slave Traffic
Many people imagine that this is
an immoral show Such, however.
is not the case. There is absolute
Iy nothing about the show that is in
the least indecent or immoral On
the contrary the pictures with the lee
ture given by J. D. Callicut, preach a
sermon that every parent can we'll
afford to listen to. The entertain
ment shows the methods used by
the cadets employed by the vice dens
Of the world in obtaining fresh vic
Tins for their nefarious work If
parents will see this show and take
the lesson it teaches to heart, there
will not be so many young girls fall
victims to the wiIes and methods of
the agents Of the vice trust
The pictures and lecture follow q
story form and tell of a young Ken
lucky girl. Row she was induced to
leave home and go to big city and
how after she arrived there, she was
sold into white slavery by the man
she supposed loved her. 1t shows
the heartlessness of the people en-
gagged in the troffic in young girls.
Too many parents allow their children
to associate with people Of whom
they know absolutely nothing and it
is very often that the downfall of
the young girl is brought about by
this association and especially by the
strange man who comes to the vii
Iage or hamlet and wins the conf
dence of even the parents. There is
"a big crusade going on thrUout the
country at the present time. An ef-
fort is being made to obliterate this
great blot.
Prominent men and women all over
the country. are working day and night
to suppress this tIIegitimate traffic.
This show is good thing. 1t shows
the white slave traffic, it's effects
and its results in a plain and yet
genteeI way.
