CATHOLICS DEMAND FILM GENSORSHIP Welfare Council Wants Ev- erything Unwholesome or Indecent Eliminated. The National Catholic Welfare Council today filed with the Com- missioners an indorsement of the movement for more rigid regulation of motion pictures in the District. The council emphatically states, however, that it does not favor the | closing of motion picture theaters on Sunday, but seeks to have the sileat drama made fit for exhibition on évery day of the week. The letter Is from Charles A. McMahon, director of the motion picture bureau of the ;::lllell, and reads, in part, as fol- Plea for Proper Pictures. “What the National Catholic Wel- fare Council desires in Washington, Two Things and a Third WALLIS’ 12thand G Streets N. W. NE thing to every Zy8man’s well- pestdiibeing obli- gates him—discrimina- tion in his diet. An equally essential table tenet —know where and go where food quality and cooking standards are highest. Which brings you to consideration of the decidedly moderate prices:which prevail at Hemps, etc. and' In every other city and town where motion pictures are shown, is the elimination of whatever may be classified as unwholesome and inde- cent eithen in pictures, titles or posters, and the protection of the ;oum of America from the evil in- luel s which emanate from these ! ncies. il “Whetner_this result can be brought abogt in Washington by a special buréau or board of censorship or, in some other way is for your body\fo detefmine. We desire your honorable board to feel that the public, and es-y pecially the Catholic portion of it, is |} thorpughly indignant over the pres- ent degradation of the films, and that this_ public will look to the board of Commissioners to correct the pres- | }f ent gituation in Washington as speed- | ily as possible.” Mare letters in opposition to censor- ship of the movies were received from individuals by the Commission- ers today. Prank A. Sebring, clerk of the Po- lice Court, tells the city heads that as a ie fan” he does not believe the Blctires shown on_the screen. in ashington. are such as to warrant censorship. “Three hundred and fifty thousand people attend weekly in Washington. It would seem from this that the peo- ple themselves are fully capable of censoring these pictures.” G. B. Van Nest, 2529 25th street, called the attention of the Commis- sioners to the fact that the best citi- | zens of the city attend the movies, and he believes there is no need for cengorship. A protest in two sentences was re- | ceived from a business firm signing | the Jetter as Gale & Cramer. It read: “We are in favor of a censorship for moving pictures if immaculate cen- | sors could be found. As they are un- obtainable, why attempt it?” o """ 507 13th N.W.
