The Motion Pictures.

The Notion Pictures
what Is the matter with motion pic
lures? That is Il question now promi-
nent In the minds of many Grecnvillc
people. The "Woman's Home Com
panion' gives an answer. The aswer
is the same as that suggested some
days ago by The News. The primal
trouble Is not with the picture makers,
not with the operators OF shows, but
with the public. 1t Is q question of
taste AS a matter Of public interest,
and also, as guide for whatever ac-
ton may be taken, this phase of the
matter should be considered. From the
experience Of this paper with motion
pictures, we have concluded that those
shown here are as good as any shown
elsewhere. The makers Of the films
produce the best that the public will
stand for. 1t Is not question of
catering to the tastes Of the produc-
ers. 1t Is question Of pleasing the
public. In whatever line of business
one may engage. the patrons of that
business must be pleased, or the busi-
ness will go broke"
Consider the following from the
"Woman's Home Companion" and seek
to meet the real issue, seek to culti-
vate public opinion, in case there is
quality of pictures which are dctri-
mental to the common veal:
In the May Woman's Home Compan-
ion campaign for cleaner moving
picture films IS inaugurated. In the
the leading editorial are given facts
that seem to show that the bulk of mo-
ton picture dcvotces prefer the
"risque' film to the clean one.
"The president Of a moving picture
company which, from its organization,
has led the fight for better, cleaner
films. discovered three months ago a
falling off In the company's receipts in

For answer the theatre-own pro-
duced his record of receipts for the

questions we have. Teach high ideals.
