FIRST LADY'S OPINION
In suggesting this limitation
on the free exhibition of pic
ture sponsored by eminent physl-
clans and sociologists, you be-
come aware that at once you
will be grouped with those who
advocate censorship for the
screen. Nothing could be far
ther from the truth.
If read correctly the United
Press reports of Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt'S comment on the
picture, issued April 26, the First
Lady described it as: "A good
educational film for young peo-
pie who are going to get mar
ried, and for mothers, but un-
suitable for indiscriminate show
ing" Indeed, a perfect ap-
praisal.
The New York board OF re-
gents, and regulatory screen
bodies in other Jurisdictions,
which have barred public ex-
hibition of the picture, are &C.
cused of condemning it as COM
ing under the obscene, indie
cent, immoral, inhuman, sac
rilegiouS" clause, which is again
quibbling with the fact.
They merely deny the wisdom
OF showing such clinical sub
jects to the morbidly curious,
would reserve it for those who
can approach it seriously and
derive value from its educational
lesson.
FEW RESTRICTIONS
When The Birth of A Baby"
became a controversial issue in
early April. this desk was bom-
barded with literature and
handouts from Special Pictures
Corporation, distributors of the
film, all designed to impress edi-
tors, and exhibitors, with the
fact that the feature was a "box
office wow" Meaning it was
a commercial competitor of
Hollywood features, sold pure
ly as entertainment.
Nothing since has changed
the opinion it is being exploited
as a peep show" The catch
The Washington times., 1938-10-03

line for advertising is, "The
Birth of Baby Before Your
Very Eyes"
Exhibitor restrictions are: /.
1t cannot be double-featured. 2.
Short subjects must be ap-
proved. 8. Only approved ad-
vertising, publicity, lobby dis
plays, etc., may be used. 4. No
commercial tie-ups permitted. 5.
No increase in the theater's nor
NAL admission scale.
Exhibitors will find nothing in
these conditions to annoy them,
nor any curb on the flow of ad-
missions. Anybody over 16 with
the price can see the feature,
and children accompanied by
adults will be admitted.
BOX OFFICE VALUE
DR.. Joseph G. Cretty, eminent
obstetrician of Cincinnati, Ohio,
a stout advocate of general ex-
hibition for the picture, uncon-
sciously comes to the nub Of the
controversy, in a letter defend
ing his public endorsement. Said
DR.. Crotty:
Il recognize that the actual
birth scene could be deleted
without destroying the educa-
tional value Of the sequence one
little bit, but as one Of my ma
ternity patients Put it, the story
would seem incomplete without
it. On the other hand natural
h u m a n curiosity might lead
many to see the film, who would
not do so were the AZ seconds Of
birth scene left out, and these
cannot help but absorb some of
the educational value of the re-
mainder of the film"
Educational value VS.. box Of
flee value, is reduced to AZ Sec
onds of celluloid. And its seems
to me that in unrestricted
exhibition the main objective
is to reach the AZ seconds Gus
toners, rather than those seek
ing sound professional advice
from medical experts whose sole
purpose is to help the world to
better health.

Year-old Store Well
Pleased With Growth;
Has Anniversary Sale

An infant business whose VOL
ume has grown to man-sized pro-
portions is celebrating it's first
anniversary in Redwood Falls this
week.
Herrold's Shoes is offering mar
velous values at an anniversary
sale in appreciation of the pat
ronage given the firm since its
establishment here.
Every day values are as import
ant as sale values, Herrolds main
tain, pointing to their value-ful

trade territory can't be wrong.
Since Herrold's Shoes, Incor-
porated, opened their up-to-date
shop in Redwood Falls just a year
ago, that many pair Of Hikers
have been sold.
In case you're not one of the
700 buyers, you'll be startled to
know that this sensible style of
footwear is so constructed that
the heel can't run over, that the
shank is so flexible the shoe can
be entirely twisted around in

shoe works UP and exercises your

the establishment is prouder, still,
of its fitting service.
Here's what they say about it
and here's their advice to you as
a shoe buyer (aren't we all?):
"John Public sometimes doesn't
understand exactly what highly
developed profession shoe fitting
can be.
soften someone comes to shoe
store and instead of letting the
shoe filter, who has had many
years of experience in fitting
shoes do the fitting, insist on a
certain size. The shoe man who
spends all his time fitting various
types of feet yearly has nothing to
say in this case.
eve would like to tell the shoe
buying public what knowledge
one must have to intelligently fit
shoes. First, he must know leath-
er, and the. various kinds and
qualities used in different types
of shoes. Second, he must know
the processes used in making
shoes. Third, he must understand
lasts, which the shoes he sell are
made on. Thousands of dollars are
spent by manufacturers to make
these lasts. A last is wooden
form over which a shoe is made
and shaped. Some of these are
shaped to fit long narrow feet
with long toes, others are made to
fit long feet with short toes, and
still others are made to fit short
arch or long arch as the case may
be. This gives the public an idea
of what shoe man must know in
order to properly fit his customer.

Associated Press Sports Writer

.
The amazing collapse of the st.
Louis Cardinals at the outset of the
National League race is causing more
comment in the baseball dugouts than
the failure of the Yankees to start off
at their customary clip.
The players and managers have a
strong hunch that the Yanks are due
to start pouring it on the ball about
tomorrow. when Joe Di Maggie likely
will break into the lineup as pinch
hitter. But they don't know about the
Cardinals. They suspect that the de-
parture Of Dizzy Dean has taken lot
more out Of the Birds. mentally and
physically, than generally was thought.
Dizzy's Spirit is Missed.
Dizzy didn't get along with Mana
ger Frankie Frisch, the rival players
admit. yet they declare he put fight
into the Cards and embodied more
than any other member of the team
the spirit of the "Gashouse Gang"
They say the Cards are going to miss
more than Dizzys pitching. and it be-
gins to look as If they're right.
Yesterday, with Slugger Joe Med
wick still out Of the lineup, the Cards
dropped their seventh game in eight
starts, 10-inning. 8-to-7 decision to

went under as the Chicago Cubs
punched two triples and single in

career, to 3. Tex Carleton went the
route for winners, checking the Pirates
with eight hits. Tony Lazzeri, ex-
Yank, clouted home run.

There is strong rumor that the
Bees will obtain Buddy Hassett from
