FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane) The universe is old, repeating itself over and over. How beautiful the sun rises this morning—it is but doing what it has done a million times. All the freshness is in the beholder’s eyes. Yet, said Jean Paul, “wherever a child is born a new universe is created.” Innumerable stories are published in the magazines monthly and weekly. Yet you notice a certain sameness. And some ex- pert has declared that there are only six stories in existence; the thousand and one are but variations of those six themes. Every play is a reshuffling of the old There are just about so many ideas in the world. They have been here all along. Each generation of men comes, and thinks them, and passes. The ideas remain. Likewise the stock of feelings is limited. And permanent. We are born, we enter- tain these emotions, we die.

Then what? Well, the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension, New ‘York, says that Christ would say: “Let my people enjoy this thing. Let my church employ it. Blessed be that - which uplifts, restores and refreshes the weary souls of} men.” Tastes change in the movies. Years ago the | and Wild West melodrama and the train robbery were the things. Now, the very best of everything only suffices, and producers are hunting the world over for it. It is not ae tne that all the salacious things have been removed e the screen. But public taste, which hits the box ‘Office, is helping. A:wd many believe there is a dawn at hand that will make the movie universally clean, Even % this time 2,000 churches out of 14,000 are using the “motion picture. The influence of the screen is, it is fine to record, being utilized in religion. Says Dr. Grant: “The movies of today are our cleanest of amusement. They are well censored and morality and right prevail.” Tastes have changed. What pastor ‘would have cared to say that 10 years ago?
