MOVIE EVIL DOOMED
BY PUBLIC OPINION
Educator Says Screen Players Private
Life Not So Potent to Do Harm
Az the Parts He Plays.

Terre Haute, Ind. - 1.-THE movies
will either be cleaned up by the people
who are producing them, or they will
be cleaned up by people not roduc-
ing them" asserts L. N. Hines, presi-
dent of the Indiana State Normal
Schools, in a statement given for pub
LEGATION to the Society for Visual Ed
ucation. There is every indication
that the vulgar movie will be COM
PEELED to go. Although the people are
sometimes very slow in moving, when
great cause presents itself they ulti-
mately do move"
1t h asbeen frequently and fervently
declared in recent months that, despite
the uncovering Of high scandals in
Hollywood and other movie towns,
the vast majority Of the screen people
are decent and respectable in private
life. DR.. Hines does not deny the truth
o fthe defense, buttn aintains that this
is not exactly the point. Personal
character Is undeniably important, but
the picture itself according to this
educator, is the public's more immedi-
ate concern. The greatest damage, he
believes, is not done by motion pic
ture actors who are reckless in their
private lives, but by those who, reck-
less or the reverse, consent to part
in placing vulgarities on the screen.
"A man may live a perfectly nor
NAL life at home, but If he takes part
in the development Of stories that en-
body unclean ideas he is thereby gull
ty of an injury which is vastly greater
than If he confined his vicious influ-
ence simply to his personal acts" DR..
Hines declares. "a man who, in the
part of a bank robber, shows just how
a bank may be broken into, is helping
to perevert the minds of tens of thou
sands of boys over the country. This
'robber' might himself be bank rob-
Der on the side and yet never In that
way work as much harm as by por-
traying the robbing Of bands on the
screen. It is what the people see the
actors do that makes for good or evil,
rather than what these actors are or
10 in their private lives"
It has been stated, remarks DR..
Hines, that in one community the Gen.
,or reports that vulgarity has been
from the films, only to have
take its place. OF this sit
lation he says:
mo more vivid commentary could |
20 made upon the scarcity of real rea-
IONS for the existence Of the ordinary |
commercial moving picture than the
remark Of movie CEN
or. Interpreted, this is a frank ad-
mission that movies must be either
,ulgar or stupid. 1t Is assumed, OF
course. that stupidity will not bring as !
much money into the box-ofiices as
and so in all too many cases
he vulgar type Of film Is produced SO
hat people will continue to patronize
he theaters."

Manufacturers Now Using Apples to

The thoroughness with which the
apple is now worked over and uti-
llzcd by some manufacturers makes
it comparable with the packing house
pig that leaves only n futile squcal.
The apple is not transformed into
such variety of products as the pig
but all are useful. and when the last
of the series has been made hardly

tories the apples arc first pressed 10

striking illustration of the weakness
depression has taken place, that we
shall have uninterrupted or rapid
recovery to full activity in all lines.
A readiustment OF industrial rea-
tions is under way and has produced
the Improvement in sight, but COM
plete readjustment has not been ac-
of the highly organized modern in.
dustrial system. in which production
is carried on by groups OF people
exchanging products and services.
1t is an effective system when all
are working harmoniously We are
benefited by it, but the system is
dependent upon good faith. iair
dealing and broad view OF mutual
interests. The work OF the ccyt
miner or railroad employee is no
more essential to the welfare OF So
ciety than the work OF the farmer
or the worker in many other indus
tries, but the opportunity to COM
bine is more favorable, and the
chances OF success for combina.
ton are better.
The action OF the miners and rail.
road employees in forming an a.
lance must be accepted as meaning
a purpose to exercise their control
over the mines and the railways,
and is threat OF arbitrary power,
inconsistent with the mutual obi
cations upon which society rests.
This, OF course, is not saying that
the miners and railroad men are an
exceptionally bad lot; we know they
are not; as individuals they would
be as kind. considcrate and helpful
as the average OF other people, but,
as with most people, they have such
a bias for the interests OF the group
or class that they do not see the fun
damental rights that undcrly all
others and which must be respected
if orderly society is to endure.

the industrial organization. the

the population in jeopardy it aspires
to an exercise OF power that in the
long run society will not tolerate.
When rights and interests come in

Daily Kennebec journal., 1922-06-20

The general business situation has
continued favorable from month 10
month until confidence is now well
established that the worst OF the IN
cvitable postwar depression IS over.
The most potent factor in the re.
vival has been the exhaustion OF
stocks, the wearing out OF things IN
use, bringing consumers to the ne
cessity OF coming into the markets
to supply their own wants and OF
selling what they might have to pro-
vide the means OF purchase. The
pressure OF reciprocal wants gradu-
ally brings all branches OF industry
to the readjustments that have TO
be made.
In the case OF foodstuffs and the
leading raw materials OF industry
there are no large supplies being
carried over, unless we except corn,
which does not enter readily into
consumption until it has been con-
verted into meat. The grains chlet-
" used for bread are closely used
up, the world depending upon full
crops each year. In the chief mate
rials OF clothing, wool and cotton,
the carry-over which has existed
since the war has been reduced in
an important degree during the past
year. These conditions give an as
surancc of stability in the principal
agricultural staples which has not
been felt since the Fall Of 1920.
Prosperity is the fruit OF state
OF ordered, balanced and reciprocal
industry, in which everybody works
at rendering some service to others
and gets his pay in the services
which they render to him. Although
an appalling ignorance OF mutual in
terests is constantly displayed
nevertheless people are bound to
strive increasingly to improve their
relations with each other.
The state OF ease that has devel-
oped in the money market, as evil
denccd by the liquidation OF the
Federal Reserve banks, the ready
absorption OF investment securities,
and the rise OF the bond and stock
markets, is a condition favorable 10
business expansion. 1t does not fol
low, however, because a substantial
