 Miss Balfour declares it Is i'm possible e public not to tol- crate th4 film. a sit has come to stay and will become more and more popular both as an educational and as al amusement factor.
 What would the magistrates do if they didn't have film to blame for all the wrongdoings of bad bOys?" she demands.
 Miss Balfour maintains the film has made people travel the world over and think about places they would never have dreamed of. The masterpieces of literature have been revealed by the film to persons who would never have known about them otherwise. She pleads for better scenario wrting done without thought of book publication.

THINKERS
 CRITICIZE AMERICA
Think Influence of U. s. Is De-
 mOraliZing To World

Rome July 13 tR,-Western Euro pean civilization is doomed to be
 -gcd and .ubdued by the "barbarities" of modern America whose cigar-smoking, money-mak- ling, gum-chewing and blatantly ego tistical prophet will gleefuly har- mess humanity 10 the time-clock and beauty 10 the industrial machine. An influential faction of young i Fascist thinkers. led hy Curzio Suck crt, editcg of La Conquista dello Stato, is f this opinion, and will endeayor 10 save Italy from this fate
 at all cos;s.
 Not all Italians, however, are of this belief. In an endeayor to rid l Italians of cir notion that Amer jeans are young and barbaroUs people. a mo cement has been started in literary circles 70 induce the United S-tcs to arrange an eXhi- bition Of American culture. In support of the idea, Diego Angeli. well known critic, points out that Italian do not at all real | ize that Americans have succeeded lin Iiterat re. He claims that Amer
 ica has had more influence on Eu- rope tan Europe has had on her, | if the comparison is made on pro- portional basis.
 For example, 7l asserts, Poe dom. mated the European literary Of the late nineteenth century. Charles Baudclaire of France copied him. Jules Verne's romances and the | Sherloc', Holmes stories were based
 on Foes stories "The Fall of the House Of Usher" pa~l the way for
