 BE |NAUGURATED
Films Depicting Scenes From Great Novels and of Famous Cities Will Be Shown and
 Singing Will Be a Feature

Movie matinees for children on Saturday mornings will be initiated in Birmingham this fall, with schools and women's organizations cooperating in fostering and de veloping the idea, according to plans of Mrs. Neil R. Wallace, city amuse- nent inspector.
 Promises of cooperation and as- sistance have already been given Mrs, Wallace by moving picture and thea trical men of the city, she stated yes terday Educational films for chilren will be shown at these matinees, she said, following the course in cities like Providence, R. l., Chattanooga, Indianapolis and other cities.
 Films which depict scenes of great novels and which show famous places in the world will be featured. Pro- Erammes to be arranged in connec tion with the pictures will include singing by the children, led by teach CTS trained in chorus work, tableaux arranged by artists in which children will have part, short talks and ser monettes by ministers.
 In the near future Mrs. Wallace stated yesterday, a call for a meet ing to discuss this plan will be sent out to the various organizations of women, the Pastors union and school organizations. Chairman and heads of these bodies will be notified of such meeting by Mrs. Wallace. The idea will not be put into operation before fall, she said because the CO., operation of school authorities Is necessary adjunct to the success of the movement.
 "The growing tendency on the part of mothers to assume that the photo play is not conducive to good morals is responsible for many children be- ing deprived entirely of the oppor- tunity to see motion pictures" de- clared Mrs. Wallace.
 This office feels that il will render a real service to the community If better films can be brought for adolescents once a week. Films ap proved by selected group of men and women will be featured, satisfy ing the child's craving for entertain ment and proving of inestimable benefit to the children.
 "A constructive programme for such entertainment will require care full planning"

 ing yesterday. The burden of -- not enforcing the laws was
 placed on the health officer.
 Several rather warm tits between Walter Brewer, assistant city attor- ney, and pr. Bowling occurred dur ing the meeting yesterday afternoon, which lasted from o'clock until after 6:30 o'clock. The question of enforcement was the subject of heated debate between the health of ficer and the legal representative.
