Continued applause was given each speaker when emphasis was made on clean and moral amusements. Mrs. Dawes Opens Meeting. On behalf of the Woman's club of Evanston Mrs. Rufus C. Dawes opened the meeting with a brief introductory speech stating that that organization was always willing and ready to join in any movement which tended to re- _ form and for that reason had joined hands with the Drama club in the meeting for the discussion of the mo- tion picture topic.

She recounted the experi- ences in trying to have lurid pictures j stopped in Chicago and commended the work being accomplished by Ma- jor Funkhouscr and his staff in cen- soring such pictures. Instead of the "thrillers" which many film concerns are now manufacturing. Miss Vittum suggested that fairy stories, scenery, achievements of the day such as the 1 ti t dustry curtailed by one man. The case in the court are based on the proposi- tion that a censorship on motion pic- tures is not any more legal than it would be on stories to bo-pubUshtHl in the newspapers.

We have villages 'stopped films aggregating Our patron-[ about $100,000 which related to such performances as the foregoing offer- ings and that is the reason the suits vcre filed against me. "It is. high time, I believe, for the parents to grab their children by the necks and kerp them away from such lustful performances. They have not the reverence for the parents that < hildren in the years past had and that is the reason I suggest the paren- tal slipper to make them behave.

In a brief address Mr. Minturn gave j facts about the state of affairs at the I Evanston theater.

Major FunkhOuser closed the meet- ing with an interesting talk telling of the difficulties which have beset him since he has started war on the film concerns which produce sensational pictures. "I'm about as welcome as a carbuncle on the end of your nose In the position I now hold," he said in prefacing his remarks. "I have gained a good education in the work thus~far--given by "Rev. L. W.

And now we are beginning to get the censor- ship in good working order. There are twenty-five film rental concerns in Chicago and daily I send men from my office to view the new pictures they receive. Since I have discovered that fully 85 per cent of the audiences at the motion picture play house are women and children it is vitally im- portant that nothing but clean and moral pictures be shown. Now I have a small theater in my office and daily I ask representative social workers to act as a jury in passing an^many ot the pictures before they are shown to the public. Out of the^85 per cent be- tween 40 and 60 per cent are children who. comprise the "'movie' audiences." Most Expense Involved. Major Funkhouser recited the de- tails and expense attached in making many of the films which are stopped in Chicago.
