Cleveland Cinema Club
We had begun to think the
cinema was without a friend in
the world. The laws would
censor it to death, the voter"
would stop the showing of pic-
tures on Sunday, and the
churches claim they are harm-
ful to the community. Suddenly
the unexpected has come to our
notice - a club organized for
the purpose of studying and
promoting better films.
This Cinema Club IS organ-
ized to study the art of the mo-
tion pictures and to encourage
its best development in Cleve-
land. It is the first club or-
ganized in the United States to
promote Better Films.
Today committees of large
clubs or specializqd clubs under
various names are active all
over the country and are fed-
erated under the name of the
Affiliated Committees for Bet-
ter Films. With the aid of the
National Board of Review, they
demand certain standards of
morals and art in the pictures
they recommend. Standardized
lists are published for the Na-
tional Affiliated Committees and
the Cinema Club recommends to
its members these pictures as
they appear in Cleveland. When
money permits, these lists are
sent to the members. LIbrary
bulletin boards carry the lists,
also certain weekly publications.
Members are expected to see
recommended pictures, prefer-
ably the first day, and to report
on blanks provided for the pur-
pose.
.Recommended lists are sent to
members.

Motion Pictures
and Censorship
By Lewis W. Physioc
In studying great social prob-
lems we can hope for very little
help in their solution by our
prognosis of the future; but It JS
lozical to suppose that histor'ica:
a;alogies will furnish us a re-
liable text upon which to con-
struct an argument.
History teaches us that many
Devoted innovations, economic and so-
and
cial, that were subsequently
Pho-
proven of great benefit to man-
kind, were sometimes discour-
aged and often bitterly opposed.
Many resented the advent of the
railroads and other great inven-
tions, and automobiles were con-
sidered instruments of great

Photography
Ac- atives associated their use al-
most entirely with clandestine
"joy rides." The idea of a girl
riding a bicycle was shocking to
the average mind. For gener-
III ations, varying fashions of
dress and innocent pleasures,
such as cards and dancing, have
been attacked as having a de-
moralizing effect on the youth
of the time. The best of our
novels were the subj ect of the
most unreasonable prejudice;
some of our greatest works were
as much feared as Nick Carter
or Jesse James, as to their ef-
fects on the juvenile mind.
Christianity itself offers the
saddest pages of history as to
the varying judgment of man-
kind of what is beneficial to the
race. To whom but the censors
of the times did Christ speak
when He said, "For John came
neither eating nor drinking, and
they say, he hath a devil. The
Son of Man came eating and
drinkinsr and they say, Behold
a man gluttonous, and a wine-
bibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners."
It is not surprising, there-
fore, that motion pictures should
have their opponents, and we
will find them condemned most
severely by those who have
never been inside the picture
theatre.
These good people cry for the
purification of motion pictures
and the elevation of its ideals.
Only those who have been in-
timately connected with the in-
dustry can realize the moral
character of its evolution. Those
who know its early history will
tell you that the first pictures
shown were almost entirely de-
voted to the lowest themes, and
in many cases, filthy, obscene
subjects, shown only to men,
and boys who dared see them;
and for a long time only the
boldest characters ventured to
perform in them.
They have advanced morally,

A hearty welcome was ex-
tended to our new member, Bob
Walters, immediately following
the last meeting. A self-ap-
pointed committee of philan-
thropists took him in charge
and a good time was had by all
except Bob. Never mind, Bob,
he who laughs last irritates.
At the conclusion of our last
meeting the members accepted
an invitation to visit the new
Aller-Rothacker laboratory. It
certainly proved to be of inter-
est and though space is limited
we will describe the trip in part.
Upon entering the spacious
reception hall we beheld Paul
Perry arrayed in a magnificent
golf suit. We were then con-
ducted to the cutting rooms, the
feature of which w.as the bright

abled to observe Paul Perry in a

Thence we were led through the
