BILL BARRING CHILDREN
ATTACKED BY FILM MAN
Exhibitors League Chairman
Calls Measure Requiring
Guardians Unfair

The bill to prohibit children under the
age Of sixteen from attending motto. picture
theatres unless accompanied by older per-
sons. which now is pending in the Ponnsyl-
vania Legislature. was bitterly attacked at
today's session Of the convention of the
Motion Picture Exhibitors League Of Penn
sylvania in the Parkway Building
G. w. Sahner. president of the league,
said that bill and another calling for a
war tax of one cent for every foot Of film
shown would be fought tooth and nail but
the former, if enacted, would be dangerous
TO the morals and welfare Of the children Of
the community.
in the first place" he said, the bill is
not fair to the children themselves. They
love the movies and no one can dispute
the fact that moCng pictures are educa-
tionaI in countless numbers Of ways.
THE real danger of the bill lies in the
fact that the real young movie fan, II
barred from the theatres. Will be likely to
frequent poorooms or other such places,
seeking some older person to act as COM
panion and thus evade the law.
"Children under sixteen want to go to
the movies and they will get there by hook
or crook The bill would teach them to
make undesirable aCquaintanCes to get by
the law and might throw the children into
the path of kdnappers not to mention
white slavers In other words, they would
pick up strangers II necessary to see their
favorite movie star
"Of course I do not say that all chill
dren would do this, but there is always the
grave danger"
Mr. Sahner said the bill calling for war
tax of one cent for every foot of film shown
was too high. although the tax is to be
paid by the manufacturer as soon as the
,urfl saFntti l1Nr
fall on the theatre owners themselves" '
