! The pictures in an artistic way were
all beautiful
Edwin c. Knickmeyer: yes indeed,
7 would have passed 'HypOcrites' had
been on the board of censOrs. 7 en-
jOyed the play very much indeed. It
had a fine lesson all right and shows
the way that the real truth is received
by the majority of people. I didn't
quite get the hypOcritical point in the
family scene where the little child dies.
The parents were certainly portrayed
as unwise and lacking in judgment,
hypOcrites. On the whole, 7 thought
the entire production was very, very
good"
Teaches a Good Lesson.
Mrs. E. NJ. Bray: " 'HypOcrites' is
staged beautifully. It teaches a good
lesson to people that might not get it
in any other way or from any other
sources. I can see nothing in it that
any person could object to. The figure
of truth was so esthetically presented
that it should not arouse criticism.
We all look upon undraped statues ev--
cry day, without feeling shocked. I
think the play is very depressing; it
leaves one saddened."
Mrs J. NJ Frank: "The evil is in
him who evil thinks. Eypocrites' is
splendidly presented and teaches a
vital truth in a beautiful way. I liked
the play very much
watched the Dates.
Alves Dixon: It liked the play first
rate. 7 think it was a splendid prOduc-
ton Yes. I believe would have
passed it had I been on the board Of
CensOrs. There was one discrepancy in
the production. though a rather trivial
one. The newspaper the clergyman
picks up from the choir stalls in the
first scene is dated six months earlier
than the newspaper which announced
his death, which was supposed to have
occurred the same day"
Col Omar Bundy, 10th infantry: Il
should never have permitted the pro-
duction OF the play Hypocrites,' had 7
been on the board Of censOrs.
Ought to be Seen Twice.
Judge J. !. Murphy: 'HypOcrites'
was very good show, but so deep that
it really ought to be seen twice to be
fully appreciated. I think it is the
greatest show I have ever seen. The
portrayal of the political scene. with
the appearance of the reality in the
7 have ever witnessed 1t is one of the
few picture shows that makes a per-
son want to go a second time
Mrs. O. Fl. Baum; Il think it was
fine picture. It portrayed a very
truthful lesson It is something very
unusual and I am very glad I did not
miss it,"
Did Not Like It.
Mrs. TT. II. Stark: 7 did not like il.
The moral Of the play was good and
the play was beautifully staged and
well acted but 7 do not think anything
is gained for good by presenting the
character of Truth in the way that it
was presented"
DR.. Alice G. Merchant: It loved the
play. Tt is a beautiful play with Il
great lesson. [ am glad ] saw il and
that my two children saw it. I did not
think there was anything immOdest in
Ell
ure OF Truth. It was certainly not as
immodest or immoral as the extremely
low cut gowns and suggestive lines Of
some of the modern day evening cos
tunes worn in modern day society"
Truth Well SymbOIiEed.
1.-THE eIusiveness of truth was well
symbolized. In our modern day, when
everything is so CLOSED over and
clOaked we have almost lost sight of
truth and being absolutely truthful is
a lost art 7 have heard a number OF
children discussing the play and not
one Of them had any suggestion of an
evil idea concerning the portrayal Of
Truth. Unto the pure, all things are
pure The play was handled so artis- !
-ically that ] cannot see how any crit !
icism could be justly directed against
Kent G. Bush: Hypocrites' is the !
finest moving picture play I have ever
seen. 1t is the best staged and the |
best played and the best blended. It /
certainly carries a good lesson. The !
play was forbidden presentation in San /
Francisco by the board of censors there. |
I can not see why they should have
found harm in IT. The finding Of evil /
in anything depends great deal upon !
the mental attitude of the person him (
self 1 think it was a good play"
