its inception in 1909. It is entirely possible that some "b1oomers' have slipped through.
 Too Bad!
 And 1t is here that Mrs. O'Grady's argument loses it's force. She fool ishly appended to her wise words a plea for New York State Censor ship bill, then before the Legisla- ture. Now, any intelligent legisla tor in New York, unless impelled by patronage" considerations, believes that State Board would be no more efficient than the National Board of Review.
 The Slacer State Censorship bill therefore died an ignominious death and Mrs. O'Gradys original talk, as delivered at the Humanitarian League, was tied up'' to that bill. When the Slacer bill "went dead" Mrs. O'Grady's points went dead"
 And this is why her words on the movies stand today as a mere joke which has outlived its usefulness, when in fact Mrs. O'Grady was doing the industry service in hold ing to the spotlight a condition that would work harm to the industry if not corrected!
 Letters of Complaint.
 The proof of this observation is found in the flood of letters on sug- gestive pictures which found their way to the New York Press. fol- lowed by a decision on fthe part of New York exhibitors to refuse dates to salacious pictures followed In turn by the decision Of motion 9to-

passions have been produced and with no more helpful object in view than to fill the pockets of their pro- ducers or the exhibitors thereof. Anyone in the business can tell you the name of a manufacture who has become rich through the release of subjects that come pretty close to Mrs. OGrady's description. The industry must be fair even with it's critics! If fair we can be, we may learn much that will help our art reach a pinnacle from which 1t wiz be safe from all criticism.
 I believe that 99 per cent. of the people engaged in the motion pie ture business today have no patience with suggestive pictures. I am sure that the National Board of Review is anxious to discover such pictures and prevent Heir exhibition; but I have seen on the screen subjects - per- haps it would be more proper to say scenes-that have just slipped by" Why or how I don't know. But I have witnessed them on the screen!
 And yet the censorship of the Ma tiona! Board of Review is the most perfect system for checking up pio- ture evils that has been devised to date. No state or city board or film reviewers can bring to such work in- spectors of the caliber of the mem bership of the various committees of the National Board of Review.

ture producers and distributors >af- filiated with the National Associa- ton to submit their films to a cen sorship of their own association. and to refuse to sell pictures to exhibi- tors who showed films of which the Association disapproved.
 The industry was outwardly scoff- ing at Mrs. O'Grady-behind closed doors its members were taking her counsel to heart and acting upon it!
 Not only did the exhibitors know that too many salacious pictures were reaching the screen. but they had long been aware that these pic lures were causing a reaction against the movie that was about to seriously touch the exhibitors pocketbook!
 In the Bronx section of New York where there are prosperous mo- ton picture shows on every hand one of the churches had become so peeved with reports on current flps given by it's members. that 1t de- cided to go into the exhibiting busi- neAs on it own account. This church recognized that the motion picture had come to stay as the poor mans entertainment and believed that it should be fostered; but had taken alarms at the moral effects of the picture theatre on the younger generation"
 Many of the church notables agreed that it would be wise to have regr1lnr daily film exhibitions under the eye of this church that would carry 100 per cent entsr- ta1nment ya1ue~4ut Nveald slbe toeAlly

DID not want to write about the x ~O'Grady business until I could give sufficient thought to it, so this will be belated if the simple truth. l don't see Mrs. O'Grady as a financial Anti in the first place. Her attack on the pictures was spirited but not venomous, and examining her beliefs. outside of the particular view on "smutty pictures that has gotten her into trouble with the industry. I dis cover a maximum of fairness.
 Mrs. OGrady really appears to be a Progressive. She says unhesi- tatinsIy that she is for the movies. She oven wants them to be shown on Sundays. I recall that she is the lady who some months ago visited e number of Broadway dancing places and said that she thought bet ter of them after she had been in- side them 4 and urged all critics to visit such places before giving vent to statements about them!
 So we cannot put down Mrs. o'Grady as an intolerant fanatic. Indeed, I must set her up as a woman of the most liberal possible tendencies
 IL l true that Mrs. OGrady has not to date put in an answer to the majority of the questions hurled at her by members of the industry, ana it ie also true that she was accurate In many of the points she originally mado.

clear of the suggestive and improper. It was even planned to try out the idea in a great school affiliated with this church, beginning with films or a contradictions character, but even tually coming down to the exhlbi- ton of ''any meritorious feature that will bear rigid censorship with the soft pedal on the sex plays.
 The plan has not progressed further-I wonder if local motion picture men were heard from and ii to do with the abandonment of the scheme?
 Action seWithin."
 Had the church movement gotten under way, as per original forecasts. it would have taken many thousanos of dollars away from the regular ex- htbitor. Do we, in, this. discover added reasons for the combining or New York exhibitors in stand for clean pictures and to refuse dates to others. finally resulting In the ac- tion of the producers and distrfbu- tors of the National Association that has just been noted?
 Mrs Woodward. president of tho National Juvenile Motion Picture League. who is considered a we'll posted person on the film on the side of the attitude of the public toward it. said with emphasis just the other week: '.All over the country the storm has been gathering and con- certed action is becoming stronger in decency in motion pictures" Mrs. Woodward. of course. had in mind the concerted action of the public. But already as show. there has been concerted action within the indus try!
 Whyf Because there is such a con- dition as Mrs. O'Grady charges and because the industry knows 1t Is in danger of feeling the reactionary ef- fects of such condition?

 I suppose it is only human to want to own as much as you can on an in- vestment that promises exceptional dividends. The point is that the dividends, might be greater if you allowed local capital to participate in the investment with you-due di- rectly to the local boost work of the latter.

Seek him out after the show and tell him what Is wrong A half dozen sincere pro- tests from an audience will insure q lively protest to the producer from the manager of the theatre. A half dozen protests from theatre man agers will insure a deep concern on the part of the producer"
 These protests have been com ing in!
 The industry has been so stupid In the matter of improper films that 1t has undoubtedly taken a wave of protest to bring about the exhibitor and producer decisions so suddenly arrived at. The protesting persons are therefore friends of this indus try. Who knows but that Mrs. O'Grady has proved to be a great friend?
 We cannot be too careful with our screens. The majority have ever been anxious to keep the standards of the movies high but as a result of the recent kicks" we are going to keep it higher and we shall. as an industry. benefit immeasurably by this upward movement
