SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 14, 1914.
intensified 'Diamond Dick' story, which
Is indelibly Impressed upon their mem
ories; yet if these same children should i
be caught reading a yellow-backed
novelette they would likely be severely
reprimanded.
"The moral type of picture was, of
course, elevating, and usually began
"\vlth a display of wickedness, showing
the consequence and subsequent re
formation. Wholesome stories, also,
were placed under this head.
"Near-Moral" Films
"Those styled near-moral were in
sidious, in that they attempted, under
the guise of morality, to show pictures
that better would have been left un- i
displayed. For example, a young man
is shown passing through the entire
category of crime. In three reels of
fifteen minutes each one Is introduced
to an overdrawn and suggestive pic
torial tale of vice, when suddenly he
Is confronted with a 'lead' which
reads: 'And it was all on account of
this,' which is followed by a picture of
a whisky llask. The llask was the
'joker'—getting it past the censors;
whereas, in reality, this feature cre
ated little or no impression.
"Humorous: .Entirely unobjection
able. r
"Near-humormis: Objectionable; not
owing to their lack of laugh-producing
qualities, but because the subject gen
erating tho laugh was either bad or
I suggestive. Thus, a humorous picture
based upon tho effects of alcohol or a
poker game presents crime from an
amusing standpoint and thereby les
sens the general respect for law, par
ticularly in the growing mind.
"Salacious: These pictures showed
suggestive evidences of passion and
were bad only in spots; but the spots
generally were high lights.
"Depicting criminality: Showed
everything from petty larceny to mur
der. In eleven Alms there were actual
murders, as distinguished from their
suggestion. This type of picture offers
Ideas which youthful enthusiasm at
tempts to imitate. Many cases of Juve
nile delinquency are thus accounted
for.
"Travel, Including pure travel ana
stories set in foreign countries, were
thoroughly entertaining.
"Educational, showing industries and
dealing with history, were Interesting
and instructive.
"Indifferent, tlme-klllers, nonclassi
flable—Just pictures.
"Bad: Objectionable, Inasmuch as
the subject matter was bad. For ex
ample, the life of an opium-eater or
the white slave traffic. They were fre
quently highly colored and overdrawn.
Two-thirds Objectionable
"Thus it is to be observed that of
the entire 221 pictures, nearly two
thirds were either objectionable or of
no real value. As the 'services' are
general, it is not unfair to say that the
pictures above referred to represent
the usual type displayed throughout
the country. The conclusion is that
from a moral and elevating standpoint
the moving picture show to-tfay it.
scarcely a success.**
"Speaking generally, many films are
shown whose plots remind one of the
musical-comedy story: they are fairv
tales for grown-ups and offend intelli
gence. Everything, in all pictures, Is
sacrificed to the one absolutely essen
tial factor of successful pantomime; to
wit. attention.
"This fact was most forcibly illus
trated by a picture showing the events
leading up to the birth of Christ. A
purer and more elevating theme could
scarcely be employed. But the pro
ducers realized that the audience
would likely become restive, and to
save the picture inserted a baccha
nalian feast which disgusted a young
man at the festivities—and quite logic
ally—so that he turned away, walked
into the deserted street, where he was
beset by robbers and left to die. Sug
gestive and thrilling, certainly; but
one carries away with him those scenes
of revelry and near-murder almost to
the exclusion of the other features. It
is no concern of the manufacturers
that Oriental debauchery, highway
robbery and personal violence are out
of place in a holy theme. The people
must be kept awake, attention must be
held at any cost.
Other Condemning Features
In addition to the pictures there
are other features of the picture show
that somewhat condemn it. Here it is
hat women and girls form objection
able acquaintances that frequently lead
to bad results. Vice investigators gen
erally have arrived at the conclusion
that the picture show often is an aid
to the amateur and professional
profligate.
"Again, the very character of the
amusement precludes sunshine; as an
hygienic force it is lost in these places,
and in lieu thereof disinfectants are
used; at best a poor substitute. Tills
complaint may be laid against the
legitimate house, but the necessity for
sun-cured air is there not so great;
they are large auditoriums, and, ex
cepting the top gallery, accommodate
a good class of patrons. On the other
hand, the 'movie' theater Is small,
patronized by all conditions of human
ity, and frequently used for twelve
hours at a stretch. Crowded and over
crowded. the atmosphere is never the
best, and frequently the worst.
"The moving picture proposition,
bad as it may be. is far from hopeless,
on the contrary, it appears bright.
This diversion Is in a state of evo
lution. Time was when the audience
was satisfied with pictorial necro
mancy, but they soon tired of that;
they demanded at least a semblance of
congruity with a limited, but no les:-
certaln. appeal to reason, which is its
present status.
"Reformers cry for rigid censor
ship, home influence and social cen
ters; and If adopted these will un
doubtedly accomplish a great amount
ot good; but in the last analysis what
we really need is not these things, but
patience.
"The moving picture problem will
largely solve itself. Already audiences
tre tiring of the Wild West and crime
aden films; productions of this char
acter, after all, can only follow general
ines, and people will not much
onger tolerate repetition. Complaints
even now are frequent, and -no one
appreciates this better or mord slg
nificantly than the producers them
selves. Consequently, legitimate drama
s being promoted for the 'movies'*
actors and actresses 'of standing' are
deserting the conventional stage for
the screen, and able authors are being
employed to write plays for depiction
by the camera. Briefly, the 'feature'
film is rapidly arriving. Good plays
ind superior acting, then will not be
limited to those who can afford $2 for
i two-hour Performance, but the same
hlng will be exhibited to all, rich
ind poor alike at a poor man's price.
And when this is realized the worst
theses of the proposition will vanish,
instead of the now isolated exhibitions
that uplift and teach, the 'movie'
uiow s influence as an educational fac
tor will then be generally felt.
"Moreover. It Is not unreasonable to
suppose that the scientific mind will In
'he near future solve the talking
picture problem—the last step in the
evolution of this business. Decided
Improvement in this field has already
been attained, and when Its perfected
state becomes an accomplished fact
the possibilities of tho 'movies' from
the standpoint of amusement and edu
cation will be fully realized. Mean
while. we must wait, and not condemn
too harshly."
'The complete list of pictures, in
cluding plots, criticism, names of the
theaters and Uato of exhibition, is in
the possession of Mr. Funk and open
for inspection.
**ln attacking the moving picture It
is by no means the intent to state that
in the exploitation of crime and sug
gestive situations it stands alone; the
so-called "high class" vaudeville fre
quently presents criminal and prurient
features equally as offending as the
i' movie" chow.
