niehty-seven motion inctures shown
in this city this enr were characterized
as "bad" In the report of a survey
conducted by the lnterchuroh Federa
tion nnd the joint committee to con
sider motion pictures in IVimsvlvnnln.
According to Mrs. Wllllnm S. Ash
brook, who read the report at the Chest
nut Hill Community Center esterdny.
as "bail" were meant pictures 'Intro
ducing nctual immorality or indecency,
race antagonism and ridicule of law nnd
older nnd of the cliureh.
Fully "00 men and women, represen
tatives of various organizations in the
city, took part In making the survey.
Mrs. Ashbrook's report was based on
,'t-KI performances attended and com
ments on -127 individual pictures.
A survey last 'year mimed twenty
two pictures as bad, but it lasted for
only one week, while this ear's exam
ination covered two weeks.
"Wo must consider the effects of such i
pictures on our young persons." wns !
I.Mrs, Ashbrook's comment "I'letiited '
suggestion is much stronger than the ,
printed page; it Is dreadful to put be- '
foro our boys such examples of crime .
as are shown dally In the motion -picture
houses. I
"During the survey our observers
were Impressed with the genuine appro
elation of audiences of really good pic
tures; they were impressed, too. with
the tenseness with which jounger boys
In particular would follow the develop
ments of the stor told by the typical
'thilllcr. "
"There should be.'' It was empha
sized, "an orgnnized and continuous 7.
effort to bring home to pnieiits their'
responsibility in nscertnlnlng the char- I
acter and ipmlitj Of the pictures the ,
permit their children to see. It Is per'- '
fectb possible for a program to lie i
wholesome, attractive mill Interesting!
for all members of u family. There I
should be an organized effort nUo to I
wori oui a piiiu ny which pictures par
ticularly adapted for jounger children
could he shown nt special weekly mati
nees such as, those which nre so suc
cessful In France."

The arms of William Penn sur

King Tamany had provided that
refreshment at the Treaty Tree. The citizens of that gen

Their successors of today are more fortunate.
