Editorial COMMERCIALIZED OBSCENITY MUST RE CURED Under the head of America in Decent," Collier, in the current inaue, comment at length upon the condition of the presa, theatre, motion picture and the club and the extreme of indecency they have unk to commercially. Recently we spoke about the action taken by a chain of theatre in the eaat, refusing to book or allowed to be played in their theatre the act of a woman who had gained great notoriety aa the result of a divorce case. We alo wrote upon the action of the law in New York City in not only closing the theatres where the immoral plays were running but the arresting of actors, managers and producers. According to Collier we are in for another wave of Puritanical reform and richly it has been earned. It then adds: "Books, the yellow pres, the theatre, moving pictures, not to mention the clubs, have entered into a competition of dirt "The very extravagance of the recent wave of commercialized obscenity wrote its own doom. "Fundamentally we are decent and woe to the man who persists in acting as though the contrary were true. "Indecency will be curbed. If those in control of the various industries which appeal to public taste are wine, If they will exercise they are blind to the writing on the wall, they will be restrained by law. They have their choice now; Later they may not be able to choose. "The public temper was shown when a theatrical producer staged his infamous bathtub party. He was sentenced to the penitentiary on a technicality. He lied and his lie gave the courts a whip with which to lash him. But his real offense was commercialising indecency. He sold nakedness and a way was found to reach him. "The theatre have gone too far. Subjects too filthy even to be put in printed words have been good enough for dramatic exposition. Material fit only for the consideration of students of pathology has been offered as popular entertainment. It wont do." The editorial then goes on to say that the yellow press, appealing to the lowest impulses of possible readers have vied with one another in reciting salacious details of divorce proceedings. Worse than the newspapers and the theatres, it claims, have been the books which commercialized sex. "No detail of diseased life was too foul for some of them." During the past few years, says the writer, customs have been made liberal. Sense has routed prudery. Subjects previously taboo have come into the range of clear discussion. Clothing has been abbreviated and improved. Ankles, as a famous suffragist recently remarked, are no longer a source of interest; they are no longer concealed and made mysterious. "Women and men alike are allowed to wear bathing suits suitable for swimming without being suspected of immodesty. "In every way women have gained equality with men and the consequence has been wholesome. New habits and customs have arisen- and subjects which until recently were beyond the range of public talk have become commonplace. "All of this i good. Everyone ha been benefited by the changes. "But nobody has been .benef itted hy the commercialized obscenity which followed in the wake of this great liberal tendency.
