Letters to the Editor
A GROWL AND A HOWL IN THE
NAME OF ART
To the Editor Of The Telegraph

To the Editor Of The Telegraph:
Did you hear that Harrisburg has
been taken? No, ] don't mean by
storm, but by the movies. There isn't
town or city In the country that can
boast the surfeit of films of Pennsyl-
vania's Capital City. Good Lord, de-
liber us from de destroyer! Run all
the way up Market street, or down
for that matter; and he who runs
may read-"Movie. Movie!' Hurdy-
gurdy music clashes and drones out
that the films are on, and they're
making ot-the-chute time. The
tourists that come to our city must
certainly have strong opinion of
Harrisburg good taste. Posters, fear
fully and wonderfully made, stare bra
zenly at you from half a dozen bijous
in three minutes walk along Harris
burg's Broadway. Pathe's posters are
, about the worst. They make you think
of the night you ate Welsh rabbit,
and piked off to bed and dreams.
Now the ubiquitous movie has in
vaded our one high class theater, the
Majestic-the last place in the town
for 1t. Months agone, we, in an evil
hour, went to the Majestic to see the
Prisoner of Zenda" films with the
handsome James K. Hackett cavorting
before the camera Oh, Jimmie, why
! did you do it? The Majestic-we are
| judging from the Hackett firms-is
| the worst place in town for moving
pictures. The "Zenda" firms We're all
out of focus, and handsome James
looked as II he had been dragged
through a clothes wringer. His lead
ing woman suggested the sea serpent
mo fault of hers, just the focusing,
: you know. We paid forty cents for
two seats, and had seen better photo
plays in other houses for a nickel.
Now listen, Majestic! We all love you
since you've cut out the burlesques,
and given us so much that Is worth
while. Go just one step farther. and
say, "Nevermore" to any movie that
taps at your chamber door.

Are those the pictures that are at the

RABBI DENOUNCES
VICE PROBLEM PLAY
Declares Home and Not the Stage
Is Place For Discussion
of Such Matters

Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-TWO promi-
nent Jewish rabbis, in sermons deliv-
cred at their synagogues yesterday,
discussed two vital topics of public
interest. Rabbi Isaac Landman, in
Temple Keneseth Israel, denounced
the wide publicity given to vice prob
lens, declaring that persons who
would have no knowledge of the sub
ject otherwise are being made familiar
with 1t, SO that bad effect upon pub
lie morals is produced. Rabbi Henry
Berkowitz, at Rodef Shalom Syna-
gogue. defended the much discussed
address of DR.. Charles w. Eliot, pres-
dent-emeritus of Harvard University
in which he expounded his views OF
modern religion.
Rabbi Landman said the present
