MaiD Many reforms regarding the
exhibition of motion pictures. with
special regard to the attendance of
children at the performances, were
recommended today in an official re-
port by the Victorian Council OF Ed
ucation. One of the recommended
tions proposed the prohibition of any
picture encouraging disloyalty.
The total attendance at the sos
picture theatres in Australia for the
year ending June 80. 1920. was Co.
94,000,000 at all amusements, the re-
port stated. During tt current year
the record showed an average atten-
doncc of 100000 weekly at film
theatres, Australia has a picture
show for every $3.50 of population,
the United States has one for every
5000. and Great Britain has one for
every $500, the report said.
