Better Pictures or Censorship.
(Rutland Herald,

The coming of a legislative session re
calls the fact that there will almost Ger

q censorship law passed in the state
Vermont, designed to establish Il boar.
charged with the business of licensins
or rejecting motion pictures for stat,
distribution.
This has been done in New York ant
several other states, and the same force,
that would censor pictures are perfect
prepared, as they think to take over tn
censorship of books, magazines and ult
mately newspapers. because editors an
authors know exactly what this censor
ship idea means and where il will 90
not checked in the beginning.
Now. after about Il year of Will Hays
the question might properly be raised
are the pictures better or worse Thi'
must, of course, be answered. not on ::
basis of artistic merit so much as o.
cleanliness, moral standards and educa
tional values. Picture censorship ca
only be conducted on the basis of whethe
given production tends to Subver
morality. No picture can please every
one.

merely to ask the wouid-be censor {

thoughts of religion and things eternal.
this very difference between rythni and
melody on the one hand, and harmony on
the other. When the music relates to
Tannhauser and Venus, representing
thoughtless, careless revels, it is swaying
and melting when the Pilgrims appear
their music is, like the best hymns Of the
church. in four parts with a stately
sweep of melody and rhythm.
\ glorious hymn.-This Pilgrim Chorus
is sung by the group of Pilgrims on their
journey TO and from Rome. at one time
in a quadruple and the other in n triple
rhythm. 1t has become widely known
and loved as the opening section of the
overture to Tannhauser selection
which is frequently played by the best
hands. Both there and in the usual YER
sion. which we are studying today, it is
in a majestic triple or one. two three
rhythm. There are two main themes. the
second one being in flowing half-tone or
tones The first theme reap
pears after the second and is concluded
with resounding chords sung to the words
''IIallelujah.'

SUPPER SUCCESSFUL
Over 75 Men and Boys Present Last
Evening Talk by. Rev.
Sidney CrOsier.

Great success attended the first
father and SON supper of the season
held by the Mems brotherhood of the
Center Congrega tional church last eve
ming. Over n men and boys Were pres
ent, the number greatly exceeding all
expectations
The meeting began with a supper at
$50 served by 4 committee of ladies
from the church. Mrs. NJ. J.1arrabee in
charge. and it was followed by an illus.
trated talk on the Palestine campaign
in the World war by Rev. Sidney Crouch
of Westminster
Norman /. Howe. president of the
brotherhood. presided In addressing
the men. Mr.. Howe said it was crafty
ing to have such a large attendance at
this first father and son meeting and
that it would preface having many more
such affairs.
Rev. Mr. Crouch explained that he
was Il \. NJ. c. \. man in the Austria
liam service. He was sent to Egypt and
Palestine. where he remained for three
years with the army under General Al
lenby. BY means of the slides which
were shown and which represented &C
tual pictures that were taken by Mr..
Crouch, the campaign as instituted by
General .Allenby was traced from the
moment the army left the shadows of
the pyramids of GiZeh until it had
passed up through Palestine to Aleppo.
Mr. Crouch said that the Palestinian
campaign was one of the five great cam
paigns of the war. He said that at the
beginning of the war England realized
the necessity of cutting the Turkish EN-
pire in two by means of the Allenby
campaign because the then kaiser relied
upon the Turkish unity to provide a
through route from Germany to India.
In fact. Mr. Crouch said that some his
tOrians had traced the cause of the war
to the Berlin to Bagdad railway.
Contrary to the belief of many, not
Il shot was fired on either side during
the capture of Jerusalem, according tC
the speaker The views shown of this
ancient place and scenes of the Sinai
desert where intrenchments were made
against the Turks were also especially
interesting.
