'Philadelphia.—The movie theater has become the church of American young people. It is a question whether it should replace the church entirely. So said George E. Odell, of St. Louis, editor of the Standard, organ of the Ethical Culture movement. He addressed the Philadelphia Ethi cal society in the Academy of Music. "The moving picture 1’ieater has laken possession of the world, ft has become the actual church of (he young people in America to day," Mr. Odell Stated. The movie house is a church, he explained, because in it young peo ple learn ethical value... learn about behavior in life and moral ideals. "The advantage is all on the side of the theatre." he went on. ‘Young people go to the movies to get their money's worth, to be entertained and they pay attention. They may sit in the pews without paying at tention to the service and sermon. "The screen is soaked in moral values, good bad and ndlfferent The audience is m a receptive mood. The movie is no place to sleep m because the minister has a voice you don't like. The moral values are seeping in unconsciously and with out question. rue young people are getting the moral ideals they teach because they are not revolted by having the theaters called Sunday school or church." He declared many think that the movies should take the place of the church. He opposes this, he said The morals taught are not those of ministers or professors, of "dull or uninspired people," but those of the | owners, directors, billboard men and box-office managers. These men are in touch with life at some points, but out of touch at others "The moral ideals portrayed nrc for tiie most part commonplace, which creates a serious situation/' he went on. "The values are sordid and the ideals cheap. The chief | ideal seen in the movie seems to be * that of getting money and spend ing it. Thtre is a question whether the increasing tendency toward ma- j terialism in this age is not due to ’ the movies " Keep Little - Ones Well and Comfortable nud thry‘11 itav hippy anil healthy from babyhood thru schooldays. it* vege table oils are vo.d'erful.ly helpful to nurntain bcmel wguUnty so essential to healthy childhood.
