Dr. Herman Adler of the Institute for Juvenile Research, of Chicago, in addressing a woman's club, said that the prie- . during of bandits, desperate characters, fights, Indians and | li the other figures of ““meller movies” do not harm the nall boy who drinks them in with wide-eyed wonder. : The small boy wants to read of deeds of daring and hero- % ism, says Dr. Adler. The only condition is that “the play run § true, and as long as right triumphs there will be no harmful effects.” It is true that in most movies right does triumph over wrong; that the downtrodden do finally get their just dues.
