EVIL EXPLOITATION
Urges Decentralization OF Good
in Speech to Federal
SCh0olmen's Club.

Youth should not be blamed for it's
present "antisocial" tendencies, SO
much as the factors which are re-
sponsible for these tendencies, Repre-
sentative Brooks Fletcher of Ohio told
the Federal Schoolmen's Club last
night at the Lee House.

now than in the days of the old horse

Today, Mr.. Fletcher said, in discuss,
ing sex degeneracy, the school, the
home and church have to compete
with "melodrama tized suggestion OF
vice in all it's lurid forms, explaining
that some of the anti-social adventures
of youth were a natural result of the
'overstimulation" they received from
exploitation of evil in the motion pic
ture, newspaper and magazine.
Adults had engaged in the horror of
the World War, the speaker said, and

Opposition to the bill to change the

mission arose at the meeting of the

last night in the District Building,
when 1t was charged that this was
another effort to import into the Dis
riot outsiders unfamiliar with local
conditions to run the city. The asSo-
citation passed over consideration of
the matter, IN the light of the attack
and will seek further information on
the measure
At the outset Of the meeting Presi-

j. G. Yaden pointed out that the
federation would find many objection
able features in the measure when
they had full light thrown on it. He
pointed out that most of the members

expenses for such duty as they per
formed as members Of the commission.
Mr.. Yaden said that this was another
attempt to bring to the city "a lot of

BETTY BRONSON- Na+ional
Lady Luck at Luncheon.

4 CHANCE luncheon with Sir Ed
drome brought to Albert De Cour-
vile, London's foremost producer Of
the revue type of entertainment, the
first opportunity Of his career to be-
come famous. And it is said that Sir
Thomas Upton, who also was a guest
at the luncheon, can vouch for the
fact.
De Courville, at that time, was a
rather modest producer of entertain
ment. He had not set the world afire
with his achievements, but he had
established a fairly good reputation in
his line. Also the London Hippodrome
was not making the hit with the pop
ulace that ranked 1t with the glitter
ing successes of the day. Indeed, at
the luncheon, Sir Edward Moss re-
marked that unless he found an at
traction soon he was afraid he would
be forced to close up. as the Hippo
drome was losing more money weekly
than he was able to spare.
At this point Sir Thomas Upton
got into the conversation with a sug.
gestion that probably De Courville
might be able to help out in the diff
Guilty. Sir Edward at once fell for
the suggestion and asked the young
producer if he thought he could evolve
something from his bag of tricks,
which would keep the Hippodrome
afloat. De Courville jumped at the
chance with eagerness and with youth
full confidence assured Sir Edward of
his belief that he could put the Hip"
on its feet and keep 1t there.
Accordingly, Sir Edward commits
stoned the optimistic De Courville to
go ahead and assemble his first re
vue. Within two days De Courville
was of for Paris in search of material
and two weeks later he had worked
so rapidly and so effectively that the
first De Courville Hippodrome revue
was ready for presentation. It was
glowing success and ran for nearly
two years, putting the Hippodronfe
back in the class Of theatrical sue
cesses. #
