FILMS
COMMITTEE IS
ORGANIZED
To Promote Patronage Of
Only Clean And Whole
some Pictures.

Many of the civic organizations in
Dover, have, for a long period of
time, talked of and wished for an
/ opportunity to organize some sort of
an association that might aid in get
ting good, interesting and right kind
of moving pictures for the youth of
Dover and vicinity. At last these
dreams and hopes have materialized
as an association has been oTganiz-
ed to be known as Kent County Bet
ter Films Committee, which commit
tee will cooperate with the present
managership of Capital Theatre in
Dover, in arringing Saturday matt
nees especially adapted to our youth
which will appeal to them as most
of them like action, humor, adVen-
ture, hero and heroines, exhibitions
of prowess in sports, etc. 1t is along
these lines the weekly matinees will
be planned followed by a moving
picture of high merit.
This Better Films Committee is
not composed of few people but
will he comprised of representatives
of public spirited people of all civic,
religious, educational and social Or
ganizations of the county.
The objectives of such an organi-
cation are: a'
First Increase a demand for bet
ter films by promoting patronage of
only clean and wholesome pictures.
SecOnd-DiscOurage salacious and
unwholesome films. e. 'i.'
Third: To provide a. weekly NOV
ing picture suitable in every way
for the children.
Last Thursday evening a delega-
ton of people from Dover and the
county held a meeting and the fol-
lowing officers were elected for one
year: President, Mrs. r. e. Lewis,
Dover; Vice president, Wilbur Jump,
Wyoming; secretary, Mrs. G. Her
bert Smith, Dover. The following
chairmen of various subcommittee
were also elected: Publicity, Bailey
Thomas, Wyoming; advisory, G.
Park Weaver, Dover; selected per-
fOrmance, Mrs. John Shilling, Do
yer; prologue, George Ehringer, Do
yer; matinees, Mrs. Warren Mack,
Dover; ushers, Miss Ruth Kemp,
Dover; young peoples activities,
Mrs. Walter Morris, Dover; extern |
sion, Mrs. Wilbur Jump, Wyoming.
1t is hoped that the parents will
cooperate with this committee by
sending their children to the Satur-
day matinees. The management of |
Capital Theatre is doing all they can |
to help make this adventure a sue
cess but without the cooperation of
parents it can only fail. AS a parent |
you may feel no hesitancy in send
ing. your children to these perform
ances as chaperones are there to /
gram will be delightful as we'll as
educational for them; The manage
ment of Capital Theatre is as anx-
ious to give the youth of this COM
munity a good, clean, interesting
and educational afternoon as the
committee is to sponsor it; but if
the public does not patrOnize by at
tendance of course the old method
of any kind of a picture on Satur-
day afternoon needs must follow.
An organization known as "The
Young Timers" with Harry Wilson
as president is a live organization
and doing a splendid bit of work.
Let us show this youth we are will
ing to back them in their efforts for
better and finer things in the movies,
We as parents dare not fall down
on the job for they are challenging
us to fight in this adventure
Macon, Ga, has had such an adult
operatingrfoE ten years
and the success fftheir efforts only
spurs us on to do as great if not
greater things than. they have
achieved. More of the workings of
he Kent County Better Films Com
nittee will be given in the press la ,
Ter. so watch the press and see
what can and will ybes done.
