Henry Trumbull Tells KiWanianS
 Farms Are Essential

New England is getting away from the old idea that it need pay no at tention to agriculture, according to Henry Trumbull, president of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, in an address to the members of the Kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel today. MT. Trumbull said the idea that nothing counts in New England but manufacturing is erroneous.
 Agriculture is still fundamental, he added, and when agriculture ceases manufacturing will follow.
 Agriculture will remain New England's most outstanding indus try even more so than manufactur- ing While it is true that so years ago so per cent of the population gained d livelihood from industry while only 80 per cent of the people get their living off the farms, the speaker said the low peak of agri- culture in New England has passed and agriculture has passed the zero hour here.
 New England crops based on the value per acre arc three to four times that of western states known as agricultural states, the speaker explained. The most important phase of agriculture in the New England section is the dairy line, he added.
 Factory Production Doubles
 Mir. Trumbull spoke on the New England manufacturing industries and referred to the problem of un- employment, which he attributed to the present economic situation. Fac- tories now produce moro than twice as much in the same period of time as they did seven years ago, and probably will double that produc- ton in the next seven years. It opens up a problem of shorter hours with more employment, or that the people must become greater con- sumers, he said.
 Organized agencies such as serv- ice clubs, chambers of commerce and other organizations which gather and direct the best minds of the community on industrial prob lens. Mr. Trumbull secs as the hope Of the future.

the influence of women patrons that the
recent campaign against showing pic
lures featuring drinking parties has
been inStigated Most women who have
spoken to me, or written to me-" con-
tinued Mrs. Parker, "object to pictures
which show drinking among young peo-
pie. They feel 1t is wrong to create the
impression through the medium of pic
lures that the young, people Of this
country all drink and all have wild
parties"
Another objection generally agreed
upon by woman patrons of the movies,
IS the showing Of murder mystery
plays on Saturdays. when the pictures
are generally attended by children, Mrs.
Parker learned through q recent ques-
tionnaire, which she distributed In a
local theater, whose patrons are COM
posed OF women from various walks OF
life. This objection was a general one
on the part of mothers signing the

There was also a general cry for
more clean pictures" said Mrs. Parker.
Solicitors of Children.
The American public is more solicit
GUS for its children's welfare than is
generally believed, Mrs. Parker con-
tends, and managers are doing all tney
can to cooperate and give the public
what 1t wants.
THE trouble is" remarked Mrs. Par

sides laughing at a picture while they
are ! nthe theater, and then as soon as
they pass outside, they tell the man.

serving the pictures which receive the
greatest popularity.
I'm some of our small theaters In
farming towns" Mrs. Parker pointed
out, farmers will come for miles to
see picture In which horses are fea-
tured. Western pictures are very popu-
lar in these small towns, whereas In O
large city they may be absolute failures.
The same Is true Of the cultural pic"
lures. Gov Milliken, secretary Of the
Motion Picture Producers and Dis.
tributors Of America, of which WIN
Hays Is president, claims that the cities
which respond to Disrael may be con.
Sidered as centers of culture"
Strictly historical pictures are not
popular as a rule, is the opinion OF Mrs.
Parker, although occasionally those
with historical backgrounds may be
successful. 1t has been Mrs. Parker's
observation that children are fondest
Of plays which feature dogs, like Rim
Ttn-Tin. or aviation pictures with plenty
Of action.
Equipment Expensive.
MANY persons who are Directing to
sound pictures do not realize the dim
culties which theaters have undergone
TO equip their houses properly for the
talkies," she said. Since the intro
uuCClOu "a SOuIlu pictures, WHICH, uCl"
dentally, are very popular with chill
dren, hundreds of theaters have had to
be equipped at great expense and much
work. Floors and walls have had to be
padded and speakers trained on differ
ent parts of the house so as to produce
satisfactory results for those in every
part of the house."
1t is part Of Mrs. Parker'S work to
observe and report upon the sound
effects in the houses she visits; also the
personnel in the theaters; whether the
