"NHE screen, however, Is
the hayward and wilful
child among public serv-
ice institutions.
1t does not either appreci-
ate or reciprOcate the cOnsid-
Grafton or the first aid to the
injured that it receives from
the public press.
The screen not only defies
public sentiment but rejects
the efforts made by the press
to correct the evils of immO-
rality or cruelty in the crea-
ton of the product of the
screen.
The Carlo picture is an ex-
ample of insistent imprOpri-
ETY.; and as an example of
reckless and needless cruelty
i'm total disregard of public
protest a picture was recently
made on a leading lot in which
two men were killed and over
twenty put i'm the hospital,
not to mention innumerable
injuries inflicted upon help
less animals.
a Nd with all the honest
~ and besOught endeav-
Ors of the men of the
press to aid and elevate the
cinema, no audience has ever
yet seen newspaper people
presented i'm a creditable or
even SEMI-truthful light on
the screen.
The press reporters are
II sua lily represented as
drunken and unreliable per-
sons, the publishers as venal
If not disreputable.
However, it is not the news
papermen who are notorious
for disgraceful brawls in
night clubs of Les Angeles,
and it Is not the establish
ments of the press that are
closed on occasions by the
churches and the civil author
tiles and an indignant and
outraged public.
Perhaps the screen might
well refrain from throwing
stones the while its friends
and sympathizers are rallying
to help it repair and protect
the fragile facades of its own
glass houses.

THE blame for this often

sive picture must lie
upon the producers, not
in any way upon Miss Carlo.
That excellent actress has
made her biggest hits i'm clean
comedy and In decent drama.
She began her great career
in this country in "The Tenn
pest" and In 1.-THE Torrent"
stories provided for tn e
screen by your cOlumnist's
Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Both these stories were
written by the great Spanish
novelist IbaneZ-and IbaneZ
always wrote i'm didactic
theme.
He not only adorned a tale
but pointed a moral.
He preached an uplifting
sermon or conducted a power
full crusade against an obvi-
Gus evil.
Miss CARLOS very latest
picture, "NinOtchka," was a
delightful comedy, pleasing to
everybody except perhaps
subversive elements.
Why drag this distin-
guished lady from the pedes-
tai upon which her talents
have deservedly placed her,
and soil her record and her
high reputation in the mud of
suggestiveness?
1t is not good morality; and
II that is not enough, 1t Is not
good business.
