MANAGER MAINTAINS
 PICTURES ON .UPLIFT

The general improvement and up- lift of the motion picture as a form of entertainment and education is becoming more apparent every day to the large following of the pie ture show. The business is no longer a fad" in any sense. It is filling a great need in the entertainment of the people and their wishes must be considered by all interested in pro- viding them with this form of amusement, stated Director Melville, of the Lubin motion picture con- pany, who is now in the city with his troupe making picture films.
 As is the case in everything else, the people are continually wanting better pictures in every way. This means a constant tendency toward perfection in photographic excellence and every other feature of the me chanical side, and on the artistic side, higher class, cleaner scenarios acted by more skillful performers. Iii both these respects wonderful progress is being made A flicker less picture is practically a reality now with the use of all standard projecting machines. Better actors and actresses are attracted to the work before the camera and the re- suit is that nearly the same excel lence of acting is afforded which we find on the legitimate stage.
 The most encouraging part of it, however, from the point of view of the average laymen is the improve ment in the character of the seen aries. The scenes which have i'm moral characteristics or those de picting burglary, murder or vicious ness of character are fast being barred from the screen.
 The fact that children form such a large part of the patronage of the average tneater makes 1t neces- sary, of course. to have strict cen sorship of film subjects; much
 stricter indeed than the legitimate stage. for what would be harmful to a younger mind would not neces- sarily affect the more mature.
 Films based upon historical facts, or present day episodes, are rapidly gaining popularity. And exhibitors are finding that these prove good
 drawing cards and ought to be used
 regularly in their program. Indeed
 as the ordinary hours entertainment
 consists of three reels, what could | be a better program than a fine
 drama, a clever comedy and an in- structive as well as interesting, edu- cationaI subject.
 | To those of us who can read the
 signs of the times it is clear that ] the arrow points toward wonderful achievement in the uses of moving pictures. True, there is still much to
 be done, but if as much can be
 accomplished every year in the fu-
 ture as has been accomplished in
 the last twelve-mOnth, 1t is hard to
 prophecy what wonderful results
 will be attained.
