Show THE MOVIES the statement has been made and we believe belleve it will come to pass that eer e er long moving pictures vill w be used la in the school room for the purpose of 0 teaching various subjects this mat ma te ter of 0 showing things in life on a screen Is a wonderful accomplish i i men tand is destined to play a mighty part in life from now on the ile movies are certainly a wonderful factor in the progress of the world and because of their subtle influence they affect all classes of people it Is a genuine pleasure to sit thru a performance and witness some ot of the master productions in dramatic art produced upon canvas it Is not only delightful but intensely interesting and impressive many of the details of the spoken play which have to be omitted can be produce dIn dlin the i picture play thus enhancing its value hy by the same token the evil in life is portrayed and by a casual glane glance at the bill boards now and again the thought has often thrust itself forward do not the movies work harm upon the young and tender minds we belf believe ie ve they do for chevery th the every very reason that much of the detail of crime and wickedness that Is left out of the spoken play Is can c vas and pictures surely make a more lasting impression than words A noted writer who has given this subject much careful thought has hag gi given V en e examples in a literary work now being considered by the parents classes in the sunday schools of young boys and girls who started ok off on paths of unrighteousness through seeing those kinds of pictures produced at the moving picture theatres theartres the atres they watched the sneak thief turn the trick and then carefully practiced the act until they became somewhat adept themselves after which they ventured forth to practice upon others numbers of these illustrations are given and in each case the beginning was made at the moving picture house you have all seen pictures that were so utterly impossible to real life that but tor for the thrill attached to them they could not possibly get a respectful hearing the battle of dead mans blans gulch and such subjects always excite interest and the scene is so laid that impracticable as it Is the attention of the witness is so fastened to it that he sits and glares at it while Ws his emotions rise and fall as the plot of the picture progresses no good can come of such experiences and yet we fully realize that managers of picture houses show the class of pictures their patrons demand parents ought to attend the moving pictures occasionally it if for no other reason than to see the class of films that are being shown their children it if the class Is poor a united demand should be made upon the managers tor for a change they will be glad to suit the taste of the majority and there is no question but that the majority it if they will but stop and consider tor for a moment will decide that some of the pictures that are shown right along are unfit for the the children to see get good subjects and they can be had just as easily as the bad ones and the moving pictures become educational cat ional factors to take the children and go to see some of the bad pictures cannot help but result detrimentally to the tender minds we get enough bad in life without seeking becking it so that it makes it all the more jn imperative pera tive that that which we eka seek should be good this question of 0 quality of moving pictures Is a serious one and should appeal to every father and mother in the community |
