AMUSEMENTS. flmsefllefltg The PH Y IT is doubtful if, in all the world, there be any place where a picture will not excite interest. If the picture be a good one, or if it tells a good story, for all pictures tell stories of one kind or another, the interest in it may lead to admiration. And when admiration comes, then comes also the desire for more pictures. People are not only willing now but always have been willing to spend money, and lots of money, for pictures long before the ver sheet” had grown even into the imagina- tion. The psychology of it must be unfolded by some one more deeply fparned in the art of mental dissection than those who usually furnish the $im literature. Now if admiration of pictures be so great as a sort of primary instinct, it is quite evident why the moving picture industry has leaped into great prominence and why picture-making ought to be, if it is not, a profitable business. * ¥ *k % BUT just as natural instincts are always improved by culture and the touch of refinement, so can and should the motion picture yield grace- fully to the influences which will make for its betterment. Only the ignorant and the unobserving will resist such influences when their pur- pose is above reproach. There are several kinds of influences, it is true, tn this old world of ours which feel themselves spurred into action for one reason or another. The wise course for the motion picture maker, therefore, is to discriminate between them and to yield to those whose legitimacy and constructive effect are beyond question. I, instead of brusquely sallying forth with a club in hand and coarse language on the lip, the picture producer who feels that his product is unjustly assailed would but quietly sit down and consider what the charges are against that product and conscientiously endeavor to remove obvious faults, the ever-recurring threat of censorship would die out. It will not die out 80 long as faults continue and flippant, irresponsible whippersnappers connected with the industry undertake to banish it with the wit and the unrestrained vocabulary oi those untrained in the use of the ver- nacular. “Smart Alecs” are familiar in all walks of life and they are over abundant in the photoplay industry, which today stands in greater need of discrimination in the selection of those who are to do its talking and especially of its publicity matter than almost any other institution on the face of a flippant world. * ’I’HE whale of America rebelled against censorship, and this when a world war was being fought. It taught the lesson that the people want, intend and have a right to say something upon subjects that affect their interests. The people are well able to judge for themselves between right and wrong, but the mistake the picture producer makes is in attempting to foist his box office receipts into the argument as evidence that the peop:le approve and reallyfidemand dcmora]ilzing pictures.
