A Good Word for Films

DEV. FRED BRIDGMAN, American
IN missionary in the Transvaal, tells of
hating a riot with a movie. Native strik-
ers We're preparing to go on n rampage
and tear up the town of johannesburg.
Mr., Bridgman and his aide set up a movie
machine and flashed an American two-reel
comedy on a hastily improvised screen.
Result: the would-be rioters broke into
roarS of laughter, and the ncipient trouble
was averted.
This is printed chiefly because it's such
a relief to hear good word for the
movies once in while. With self-appoint-
ed guardians of the public morals laying
every crime on the calendar at the movies
door, it's refreshing to get vote from the
other side.
