Pictures Teach
Deaf Man How to
"Hear" With Eyes

An elderly gentleman coming out
of Broadway theater had some diff
ficulty in crossing the street on ac-
count of the traffic. A youth as
sisted him safely across and the two
entered conversation as they
walked downtown. The young man
was surprised to learn that the eld-
erly gentleman, who gave his name
as William Black of Boston, was al:
most stone deaf. s
"You seem to understand what I
say" said the young man, "And 1
assure you I am talking in an ordi-
nary voice." l.
"That is the result of the movies"
replied Black. "You1 see l go to the
motion pictures almost every day and
watch the lips of the players. I can
understand what they say by watch
ing their lips.
"It was difficult at first to grasp
the meaning; but I began to watch
for Yes and NO and How dare you!
These expressions are very easy to
understand. Then began to compre-
bend the more difficult. ones.
81 continued my observations on
the street, in the subway trains and
wherever I might be. The result is
that I am able to follow whole con-
versation by watching the lips. Nov
ing pictures have given me back what
nature has take naway.
"There is no excuse for a person
being stone deaf today. If I can
learn to use my eyes to hear at IS
years surely younger person can
follow my example and do the same.

PRODUCERS WILL
WAR ON IMMORAL
MOVIE: PLANTS
National Convention Takes Ac.
ton to Clean Up the Amer
lean Screen.

The National association of the
motion picture industry has declared
war against evil pictures. Its action
! is freighted with the promise OF
prosecutions that will likely arise in
communities throughout the nation.
The movement spells complete
cleanup of the American screen.
It came to a head in the form of
a punitive declaration at the third
annual convention Of the association
at Rochester.
Many sinsistent demands at section
al meetings and through unofficial
channels of the industry laid the
groundwork of the campaign.

Concerning immoral films, the as
ISOLATION in it's Rochester session
| passed a resolution binding all its
| members to cooperate with the ma

! elements that occasionally have put
testers upon the screen. The reso-
| luton calls for legal punishment Of
| distributors and exhibitors of sala-
| cious or immoral films or subjects
otherwise inimical to public policy.
| The association will provide special
attorneys for the prosecution of all
such cases.
The associations activity in help
ing the prosecution recently of the
distributor of subject that was SEN
sationally disgusting served as a
guide in discussion of future action.
It was reported that the distributor

and his film removed from the screen

About 100 of the supreme film pro-
ducing and distributing leaders in

The group was taken from New

sines at the Rochester station, and

After breakfast at the hotel, the
association enjoyed morning of re-
markedly instructive and entertain
ing experience at the Eastman plant.
There followed day of important
business.
A tribute OF the integrity and fine
efficiency of the association officers
came in the form of their reelection
by acclaim. The principal officers
are: William A. Brady, president;
