Women of Methodisi Church Heor Subject of Moving Piciure Discussed When the ladies of the Methodist Missionary Society met at the church Thursday afternoon for their regular monthly meeting, Mrs. L. B. Hayncs addressed the group on the topic, "Are Movies fit for Children?" Mrs. Oliver Orr led the devotional exer cises. ! Mrs. Hayncs based her discourse upon the article of Fred Eastman, j Professor Religious Literature and ? Drama, Chicago Theological Seminary j which appeared recently in "Parent's - Magazine". "The movies have become a hot issue where they touch children," Mrs. Haynes said, "And three ques tions are pertinent," she declared. ?'What are the facts? Who is res j ponsible? How shall we remedy the matter?" Her speech was in a;.jwer to a desire for a solution of these ! questions. "Certain assumptions can be taken ' for granted. One is that the movies are here and here to stay. Another ? is that they are potentially the ' greatest force for recreation and for education that the world have yet iseen. Another is that the movies have 'made marvelous progress in perfect ing the mechanics of photography and ' projection and souui reproduction. Moreover, they have turned out some very good and great pictures ? pic tures like The Covered Wagon, Disraeli, Abraham Lincoln, Seven Day's Leave, iom sawyer, SKippy, Father's Son, and a score or more of others which come to our minds. If the pictures were alt of this sort or ?ike the delightful cartoons of Mickey Mouse and The Siity Symphonies or those rollicking comedies usually as sociated with the names of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd and Harry Langdon, there would be no need of any inquiry, for such pictures start no trouble. They provide only the warm glow of a fireplace around which the whole world can find cheer j and the fellowship of laughte?. Un l fortunately pictures of this sort make I up a small proportion of the 500 and ? more feature films produced by Holly i wood every year. '"With these assumptions ii: mind, let us take up our first question: i What is the present situation with i regard to the impact of the movies ' upon children? Well, it is a bin ijtuation, for the movies touch about 250 millions of people every week ? 100 millions in the United States and i 150 millions abroad. More people will will probably see the next Charlie i Chaplin release than have seen , Hamlet in the 300 years since Hamlet | was written. The movies reach prac | tically every child of school age in | America and, of course, a large I proportion of those under school age, I Social surveys have -disclosed that on (the average every child of school age sees a movie about once a week and is exposed to that movie about two hours." The most recent study of the movie habits of children is that published last year by Mrs. Alice Miller Mitchell. She studied the habits of 10,052 children. She classified them in three groups: first, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts; second, the average run of children in the public schools; third, children in institutions for delinquents. She found that the scouts had been to the movies least often and the delinquents most often. In fairness, it should be said that this | does not necessarily prove that the 'movies contributed to their delin ! quency, but the evidence points i somewhat in that direction. The al ternative to this conclusion seems to 1 be that their frequent attendance : upon the movies was a symptom of ; mental subr.ormality. The testimony of somo of the children in Mrs. Mitchell's study is worth noting. She asked them what kind of pictures they like best. Here are a few of the replies: A boy of fourteen: "I like especial ly the fighting and tortuing ones..." | A sixteen year old girl: "Those (Pictures with hot love making in them; they make boys and girls sit ! tiiig together get up and walk, go oiT J somewhere, you know. Once I walked i with a boy before the picture was 'even over. We took a ride. But my : friend, she all the time had to get up and walk out with her boy friend." ! "They make you want things you : haven't got, and you take them." a Ismail boy said in regard to mo?ing ?| pictures. i Nearly all of these advertisements 'concern plays run in theaters owned by the producers themselves, and have appeared since the Code of Ethics adopted March 31, 1980, and the ad' vertising code adopted three months later. The producers, therefore, can not blame the local exhibitors, j But it may be ccntended that tht ! pictures are not as bad as their ad I vertisements make them out to be ? I that the advertising really besmirches ! the pictures. That would be a strangi i kind of advertising, but let us granl j it. I/et us, then, call in other witnesses 'as to the character of the picture: I the producers are putting before oui | children. In 1924 the Chicago Censor ship Board examined 788 pictures 'From those it eliminated 1,811 scenes I of assault with guns with intent tc kill; 175 scenes of assault 'tyith knives with intent to kill; 271 scenes o; ?; hanging; 173 scenes of horror sue!1 as clawing out eyes, biting off cars i , etc. ; J57 scenes of attacks upor : ; women for immoral purposes ? alto . , gether about 4,000 scenes in one year 1 Last year (1930) the same Board ol ?j Censors inspecting almost the sam< : o, pictures haJ to rejfict 150 ( i..;? altogether; made 2.969 cuts in other reels and marked 45 aottw pic tures "for adults only." Ameng the cuts -u-erc 1,380 scenes portraying crime, 850 of bcjc immorality, and 250 of vulgarity or indecency. Here is n quotation from a letter dated March 9, 1931, from the head of the Chicago Censorship Board, "Pictures the last year have been more objec tionable from the standpoint of iir-r morality and criminality than ever before." Brevard has been fortunate in ob taining clean, wholesome pictures and Mrs. Ilaynes concluded her speech by asking "What do our children see in the movies? An occasional fine picture to be sure. But the industry has promised pictures of a much broader nature. Parents are urged to inquire as to the context of a moving picture before they allow their children to attend. This being the only local measure pos sible to take, because the quality of the picture is in the hands of the "higherups" of the industry.
