CENSORSHIP Powers
Influence Of Movies Discussed
by Character ReViSiOniStS

How to devise charter changes in
order that the young children in the
city shall be protected from harm
full influences resulting from Witness
ing suggestive motion pictures, or
pictures containing Objectionable
parts, was the chief business of the
charter revision committee last night.
During the meeting Safety Commits
sioner Howard M. Steele, a member
of the committee. pledged himself as
member of the safety board to see
that the present law prohibiting chill
dren under the age Of fourteen years
from attending shows unaccompanied
is rigidly enforced in this city. This,
however, is only one of the ways by
which the committee hopes to &C.
complish reforms here.
Policing of Theaters Criticized.
Those present at the meeting were
Chairman 3. F Gaffney, Secretary H.
V. Camp, George M. Landers, T. H.
Kehoe and Howard M. Steele other
members being absent at social func-
tons. The first matter taken up was
Councilman Charles Mays resolution
that the city boards be made partisan
rather than bipartisan. This matter
was not discussed but was laid over
until the next meeting when it is ex-
pected that the board will be more
fully represented. Another council
resolution requesting that the council
be given the right to delegate it's
powers of issuing, suspending or re-
voking licenses to other bodies was
discussed at length.
1t was the opinion of Mr.. Landers
and several others present that the
power Of issuing licenses and enforc-
ing the law pertaining should not be
invested in the chief Of the police de-
partment as that official has enough
hard work on his hands. The ques-
ton then turned to the licensing of
motion picture houses with a view to
protecting the morals of children
from the injurious effects of sugges-
tive films. Among other things, Mr..
Steele suggested that by having two
policemen at each theater it might
be easier to enforce the law which
prohibits children under the age Of
fourteen from attending a perform
ance without a parent or guardian,
and in this connection the board
memb ers characterized as absurd the
present system whereby theater man
has the choice Of what supernume~-
airy officer shall do duty at his thea
ter. This custom, Mr.. Camp said,
puts the policeman under the power
of the theater manager for fear that
he will lose his job, hence his eff
cheney is impaired. Members thought
that theater policemen should be
assigned to their respective posts by
the chief of police, regardless of
the whims Of the proprietors.
In discussing the moving picture
Judge Gaffney, speaking
FOR the school committee which first
preached this matter, explained that
the intention of that committee in
attention to the matter was
solely to protect the morals of the
children during their early years.

What was to be witnessed by their
elders the committee cares not and
has no desire to censor The judge
declared positively that In many pic
lures shown at the local playhouses,
in common with other theaters all
over the country, are certain sugges-
| tive sections that appeal strongly to
the immature minds of the little ones
turning their thoughts into vulgar
channels that might result disastrous
1y for their well being. He said that
during the plastic age, the mind of
a child is easily Influenced by these
suggestive pictures and there is moth
ing that has a more detrimental eff
feet upon the latter day morals of q
child than a, thing that hints at SEX
uaIity. To show the great hold that
the ''movies'' have on a child he cited
an incident of which he knew.
He said that a little school girl,
who attends the Grammar school and
lives in the eastern section of the
city, did not return home from school
one afternoon and at II o'clock that
night her frenzied parents called him
on the telephone to ask if his daugh-
ter could give any clue to her where
abouts. The final chapter in this
little story showed that the child, i'm
to moving picture house on Main
street and stayed there until the
shove CLOSED at Il o'clock that night
having only a doughnut for supper.
THAT little girl was a good sport
all right remarked Mr.. Landers.
Parents Too Careless.
In attempting to create a plan that
would remove the child from the evil
influence Of certain pictures it was
suggested that the law prohibiting un-
accompanied children under the age
of fourteen years be enforced to the
letter, but here another objection was
encountered. Mr.. Landers declared
that he had noticed on many occa-
sions where parents brought their
own children to see pictures that
while interesting to the adult and pos
sessing a moral for the mature mind.
contained certain sections that were
really harmful to a child. The ques-
ton then arose as to how to keep |
these children from witnessing the
unwholesome pictures. Mr.. Landers
declared that if the city attempted to
dictate to these parents what pictures
they should not take their own chill |
dren to there would be a great outcry, |
as the parents would think they were |
the best judge of what was right.
Judge Gaffney remarked that there |
are two ways Of trying to stop chill |
dren from seeing Objectionable pic |
lures. One is to pass prohibitory !
measures and the other is to pass
positive measure that will make it |
impossible The first method was |
termed Impractical by the speaker, |
who argued that by simply prohibit !
ing a thing a temptation is created. |
BY positively stopping it the situation !
is certainly overcome.
During this discussion on how to |
prevent children from witnessing mo- |
ton pictures that are harmful to !
their young minds Mr.. Steele pledged
