He fur ther stated that he had cancelled the film service on which questions of propriety has been discussed.
 "I think that Commissioner Barber is quite right" said Mir Newsome, "in calling the attention of the motion picture exhibitors of this city to the impropriety of certain films. I agree with him thoroughly on the question and will cooperate with him in every way, and so will every other exhib itor in the city in seeing that only clean pictures are shown.
 My letter files will show that have made numerous complaints to the producers on the themes supplied us and whenever scene is shown that is likely to cause offense it is promptly cut out by the operator. l have given orders to that effect.
 Again I desire to state that l will gladly meet with Mir Barber and dis cuss the situation with him. He cer- tainly has my hearty support in seeing that the motion picture shows are clean and wholeSome.'
