Vile Banner, ito go about discover
ing whether or not any given play
deserves clean bill of health with
| out giving the theater in which it is
running its best weeks business in
years" N
TT may he asserted" says the Port
land Express, chat what will pay
best is rather a low standard by
which to determine the forms of pub
lie entertainment. but it is of course,
true that IL plays are to continue to
be given they must be profitable.
What many thea trical producers seem
to need to learn is that there is no
money to smut" To which the Reno
Gazette adds: The players. clean
minded men and women, do not want
the lines that are handed to them, but
it is that or nothing. So il is evident
that the reform must come from the
outside and the producers and play
lwrights be taught that, however witty
vice and immortality may appear to be
from their mental point of view, its
place is in the now extinct barroom-
certainly not in the theater." And the
Cincinnati Times-Star observes: Some
of our producers should be thorough
ly ashamed of themselves; they have
sold their regulations for about as
vile messes of pottage as any for
which venal souls ever have been
bartered."
The best that can be said for theS
liberty movement" remarks the
Charleston Post, ''in so far as the
drama is concerned, is that the CEN
sorship is likely to cost the world
very few masterpieces" An official
censorship, according to the Duluth
Herald, "is the last thing any think
ing American wants to see"
The Herald continues: IF there
ever was an official censorship that
was not stupid, 1t is not recorded.
Yet. if the panderers among the pro-
ducers continue to inflict foulness
upon the stage, anything, even an
official censorship, would be JUSTIFIED
The box office, in the opinion of the
Indianapolis News, lis the solution
after all, and the most effective con-
troll lies with the public" The News
adds: Whenever managers can no
longer make large profits on vile
plays, the stage Will come to the realA
ization that it has a good purpose in
the life of the country"
