COMMUNICATED The Other Side of Film Censorship, Feb, 3, 9125, Editor of the New Britain Herald, Dear sir: Your editorfal regarding movie censorship deals with a very vital question, but 1s one on which people hold wide differences of opinion, Your view of censorship appears to the writer superficlal and falls to teuch the heart of the matter at all Most people will agree that cen- sorship is not the best way to guar- antee good pictures. *Selection, not censorship,” would probably be the ideal. The theatre going public must oventually be the onés to place ap- proval on pictures, but under the present method of film showings it is rather difficult for us to express ourselves on this. Theatre managers may say that a salacious or ques- tionable film, will draw the crowd while a picture known to be free from such elements will go begging for an audience, The writer has fol- lowed the development of motion plctures carefully for the last 15 years and there i no one in New Eritain who enjoys movies more than he does. Judging from obser- |vation and experience it is abso- [Tutely false that the public prefers the questionable picture. Undoubt- |edly a small part of the public does want only this kind, and it may be true that the box office receipts |show a big rise with such a picture, | but when has the public had an op- portunity to register its approval of the more wholesbme films? Occasionally a theatre shows an | Listorical film or a high grade en tertainment drama and blazes forth that fact in a commendable endeay- lor to appeal to those who like the better class of pictures, If the re- sponse is small, what is the matter? Perhaps one of two things: (1) The public realizes that while the picture ":uhr»ru.-:rd may be 1004, wholesome, ;ynt there is apt to be a cheap com- edy, a vile short subject, or an in- |decent or suggestive vaudeville act |accompanying the good pictures. (2) The public has lost confidence in the heatre management. Because week fter week he has put on films reek- ing with filth and sordid, unhealthy, views of life they cannot have faith in any sudden change of heart. One high grade picture to ten or fifteen low grade ones is no way to test what the public wants. | Now while censorship is not the |ultimate ideal, yet it would seem to {be a very necessary instrument at present. A man with a broken leg would not want to use a crutch the rest of his life, but until his weak {limb is - normal he tageous. Some years ago the principle of censorship was applied in the mat- ter of foods. Bxperts found that certain ingredients were being put in widely used products that were {Injurious to the heaith of those who ate them. Consequently government stepped in and with drastie action sald what should be left qut of those foods. So judges of |courts, public school officials, edu- {cators of all kinds, Y. A. and Y. W. C.A secretarles, ministers, and others whose business is fo un- derstand and | with the better side of all human life | | are pretty well agreed that a large | sumber of motion pictures shown |today are distinctly (detrimental to 1he moral natures of those who sec them | Suppose after the Westfield dls- | si¥ months yet, and he's | | | plus of the fed-| | | finds it advan- | the | deal with youth and | closures the government had sald “This is a pretty bad state of things, but we will not do anything about it except to educate the public to better food products and appeal to the manufacturers to make purer foods.” How long would it have teken for that education and that appeal to hgwe bad any effect? Bevere action was taken, with much opposition, but it"guve the cause of pure foods a tremendous boost for which we all have reason to be thankful, So while we may not approve in general the idea of censorship of films, at least it would stem the tide of rotten pictures which are being turned out in larger numbers every year, untll wo can adequately deal withr the situation. Would that some fine splrited cltizen would erect and conduct a motion pleture theatre in New Britain where programss of adven- ture pictures, of entertaimment dramas both serigus und light, of | historical films, and of wholesome ccmedies could be shown. There are many such tilms available today. Such a theatre would, in the opin- fon of the writer, be well supported by & large part of the public, and vould prove a profitable investment. Very sincerely yours, Frederick L. Fay COMMUNICATED Wants Sldcwalks Made Safe For Pedestrians Editor New Britain Herald: ‘Will you kindly allow a suggestion that the city fathers grasp an op- portunity which seems to be at hand to swell the income to the city. We hear how hard it is for' the various departments to “get by” on their al- lowance and we also know there are certain ordinances which require property owners to make the walks “safe” for pedestrlans—within a certain time after a storm. Now in | your issue of ¥eb. 3 and the issues of the Hartford Courant of Feb. 8 and 4 comes an appeal frqm the mayor and police to the public to try and make an effort to have the walks taken care of. Why not have the people who don't take care of |things pay their little fee of §2.0 We have patrolmen who must know pretty well where to look for the | ones who are at fault unless they are afrald to take a chance on the walks’ and use the middle of the street as lmany citizens are doing at present. ‘What is the use of allowing “gold- |en opportunities” to slip by and then asking the taxpayers to pay more 0 meet the suits for damages that are | aused by the indifference of somc |people who never scem to think of | safety for those’ who are compelled |to take the risk of passing over their | neglected walk. It would not take | more than five minutes of any man or woman's time to put ashes or sand on the walk and if they are not willing to do that it would seem that | their negligence signified their will- ingness to pay the fine.

The photographing of the nomenon was successful despite the intense cold. Prof. Cady sald. A moving picture camera was usc! {and the film was kept running up to 40 seconds before totality and re- | started 40 seconds after totality. The film was developed at Hartford and | the pictures shown at Scott labora tory at Wesleyan last Thursday.
