Vast Possibilities For Good
Lie in "The Figures Danc-
ing on the Screen"
In his investigations as a representa
tive of the Department of Justice at
Washington covering the white slave
traffic In this city J. Clarence Funk,
one of the most prominent of the
younger lawyers of the local bar, gavo
considerable attention to the moving
picture problem anil his conclusions
after a thorough study of all the ques
tions Involved arc most interesting.
He looked into every phase of the
moving picture controversy and after
& personal Investigation has submitted
his observations and conclusions as fol
lows under the general heading, "The
Movies—To-day and To-morrow":
"Comparatively a few years ago the
moving picture was projected upon a
ecreen amid a blinding glare and was
viewed by the theatergoing public
alone. To-day nearly one-fourth of
each city's population throughout the
land daily sit before a mute screen and
worship pantomime mechanically per
fect. From an incident in a few the
aters the pictures have developed into
monopolies housed in their own build
ings and represent the .most popular
amusement in the world.
"There is no diversion in existence
for which an admission is charged
where one apparently receives so much
tor his money as in the picture show.
A nickel gives one an average per
formance of an hour and a half, In
cluding music. And It is a poor per
son. Indeed, who imagines he cannot
afford 5 cents for such a prodigal re
turn <kin his Investment Coupled with
the cheapness of the attraction 1s the
universal appeal of love for excite
ment, crowds and the deel'e to be
amused;-with the result that tho audi
ence represents absolute democracy.
Here one finds rich and poor, old and
>oung, white and black, good and bad
—all under the hypnotic spell of the
figures dancing upon the screen.
"Movies"' Here to Stay
"Some popular magazines, as dis
tinguished from trade Journals, are de
voted to the 'movies'; the daily press
gives news space to accounts of cur
rent films and those, appearing in
them; and the names of many 'movie'
actors and actresses are now house
hold words. In short, the moving pic
ture show, whether good or bad, is
here—and here tremendously. It Is
obviously quite impossible for such a
proposition to remain neutral in its
influence.
"The question naturally arises, then,
what is the public viewing that so
compels its attention and wrests mil
lions of dollars from it each month'.'
"Three "services' control the moving
picture production activities in this
country. The manufacturers belone to
these delivery trusts and release, onlv
through the one to which they are
attached. In addition there are 'fea
ture companies' that specialize on
elaborate drama, comic nnd educa
tional subjects, but their output is
comparatively limited and distributed
through their own agencies. It is
quite evident, therefore, that for what
ever may be good or evil in the busi
ness, the local manager is entitled to
neither credit nor discredit. He must
take what the trusts give him, for
they alone can supply his demands.
Pictures Classified
"It may be interesting to note that
of 221 pictures (pictures aro shown in
one. two. three and even six reels)

senting a week's run of films in each

OUGHT TO BE MET NOW
Commissioners Want to Be Able to
Start Next Year With Clean
Financial Slate
It was thought at the beginning of
the year that it might be possible for
the City Council to make a slight re
duction in the tax rate for the nine
months of the fiscal year beginning
April 1, but after earnest consider
ation of all the facts it Is now said to
bo the judgment of practically all, if
not all, the Commissioners that it
would be better to retain the existing
city rate of 9% mills for the present
in order to provide for the obligations
of the city in the matter of paving in
front of properties, and for damages.
This amount approximates ?50,000.
and is covered by paving in front of
churches, cemeteries, parks, engine
houses, school buildings and the City
; Grays' Armory. The outstanding
j indebtedness on this account also cov
ers the cost of the opening of streets
along the Royal Terrace in East Har
i rlsburg, amounting to $1,107.33 and
two items of 55,148.60 for paving one
half of Front street between Kelker
and Maclay and $23,298.79 for the
i paving of the same street between Mc
jcloy and Division.
These last two Items are in contro-
rsy under an appeal to the higher
court on the contention that the
property owners are only responsible
for the paving and curbing of tho
on tii > east lide In accordance
with the vi»-w of President Judge Kun
kel in the Whitehall street case, grow
ing out of the paving of xhut street
along Reservoir Park.
Swrt Year With Clean Slate
In the view of the City Cornmis
-1 sioners, it is neither wise nor good
| business to continue to pay interest
on these assessments when the money
is in sight to wipe out the entire in
debtedness on this score and so start
next year with a clean slate.
I They are understood to feel dis
' posed to clean up the whole matter
, owing to the fact that these odds and
I ends of assessments have been drifting
along since 1904, and the interest
charges have been gradually increas
ing until they are now considerable.
It is felt that the interests of the cltv
I demand that instead of reducing the
millage for a temporary period, the
paving obligations against these non
assessable properties should be paid.
The list of unpaid assessments with
. interest to July 1, 1914, is as follows:

Strong endorsement of the proposed
curfew law being prepared by the Har

Civic Council of Churches at a meet
ing Tuesday night. The ordinance has
already been heartily approved by the
executive committee of the church
body.
The curfew ordinance is expected to
go Into Council a week from Tuesday.
It is believed that Commissioner Lynch
will be asked to present the ordinance.
With the strong backing being given'
by the members of the Civic Club and
the church people it is believed that
Council will not likely hold up the
passage of the law.
The curfew ordinance on which a
committee of the Civic Club has been
working for several months will not
permit children under 10 on the streets
of the city after S» o'clock unless they
are accompanied by a parent or an
adult person of good repute.
Signals to Be Kuiu;
A signal system, ringing fifteen min
utes before 9 o'clock in several parts
of the city, will give the warning that
children must go home. This will be
known as the "curfew signal." The
law Is to be enforced by the city
policemen. When a boy or girl under
lt> is found In the streets after 9
o'clock by u policeman he is Instructed
by the ordinance to take the name
and address of the youngster, the
name of the parepts or guafian and
then to take the child home. He then
reports to the chief of Dollce. who will
give the parents a notice that the law
has been violated.
If the child is again found in the

Pathetic scenes were frequent to

lof the court. The employes generally

! that their hearts were not In the work,
