ally men selected because Of some po-
hNcal pull rather than with vioE to

the movie men in particular have a
just grievance against those who are
egitating for = censorship. They claim
that there is no more reason why the
government should censor films than
that they should exercise a ike CUR
Neillance over the newspapers. And
they are right Picture men and
publishers alike produce what the
public wants. They are not knowing
iy going to offend the public taste
nor produce that which IS not readily
salatle. Nc picture man is going TO
exhibit many times = picture or class
of pictures Of which the sense Of his
patrons does not approve. because TO
dc so would mean slump in his

scruples to guide him, and the film
producers are not going to put out
productions that the movie men can
not show to their regular customers
II the picture business is not on a
high plane, we must look to the pic
ture-loving public as the reason. They
are the real and the most reliable and
judicious censors. Whenever they
demand and will pay to see a better
class of pictures. better class of
pictures viii be shown. Whenever
they refuse to pay FOR seeing a GER
tain production, that production is
going off the market mighty quick.
Official ecrsors, in such places as
have them, nave generally succeeded
IN making themselves ridiculous as

public Is more JUdicious and discrim-
