EXPLAINS WORK
Of COPETT ES

Motion picture theater owners and
film companies are "ali right" in
the opinion OF Mrs. Nina Van Win
kle, head Of the Women's Bureau.
She has no great kick to make
against them, she said today, In out.
lining complaint series OF
complaints against what she says
has been q misinterpretation by
press and public OF the spirit Of her
report to the District Commission
ers and the spirit Of the work or
her bureau, generally.
I'VE have received the most cor
dial cooperation from the moving
picture fieaters, she declared.
They don't want men who annoy
elrls in their theaters. and they
aid US also in getting truants out
Of their places.
Cites Instance Of Help
when we found one film, which
we felr IibeIed the Police Depart
ment, and complained about It.. the
flleater showing it took it off the
boards, although $1,000 had been
paid for It's rental and more had
been spent for advertising. The
Him salesman accepted all changes
we asked to have made in this
film"
AS to the spirit OF the work OF
the bureau" Mrs. Van Wrinkle had
this to. say:
"our women are principally Dis
trict girls, well educated, trained in
social work, unselfish and willing
to work. frequently, sixteen hours
day. And they are striving. al
ways, to accomplish a work OF pre-
vention and protection, rather than
a work Of punishment"
A false impression Of the rela-
ton between the number of cOnvic-
tions in court cases and the num-
Der of cases also was given by the
press reports of the report yester-
day, Miss Van Wrinkle complained.
Only 20 Dismissed.
True, she said, there were 1876
court cases listed, and only 20 con-
victions. But this did not mean, as
indicated, that there were 10
cases in the dismissed classified
ton. There are IS of these cases
pending in higher courts now, she
said, and II more awaiting grand
jury action, leaving only 20 in the
dismissed" class.
That there were only 897 "com-
plants" made, as the report indi-
Gated, also is not true, Miss Van
Wrinkle declared. This was the
number of COMPLAINTS received
from individuals, or representa-
tives of organizations, directly at
the desk OF the Women's Bureau
she said, and did not include many,
many more which were made by
telephone and through other
sources.
