Unsanitary and poorly ventilated rooms, in the main, are the “the- @tres” where the most lurid and sensational films are displayed in New York City. Not only are children exposed to serious dangers affecting their morals as a result of disgusting sentiment, sometimes suggestive and in a fow instances frankly salacious films, but their health is en- Gangered by bad air and dirt. Few of the cheaper “movies” make any effort to battle with the question of ventilation. Some use an electric fan or two in the hope of| keeping the air stirring and thus improve it, but the great majority dodge the matter entirely, Doors and windows must necessarily be kept closed fm the daytime, when children form the greater part of the audiences, Because the presence of light would render the pictures hardly dis- cernidle. ‘The matter of ventilation and sanita- fon in the moving picture shows fre- quently has been called to the attention of the city Health Department. In each fnetance where a #pecific complaint has deen made an investigation ts ordered, and If conditions have been shown to be dad the owner of the premises has been ordered to make necessary improvements. ‘No special investigation of conditions in meving picture shows, however, has been mate by the department.

C., Dec, 5— (ele blll i af ‘The department has full power to step fe and compel a reform in conditions in places such as moving picture shows, it was said at the Health Department to- day, under Section 26 of the Sanitary Code of the Board of Health. This seo- tion provides: “No master or teacher or manager of or In any school, public or private, or of or any Gunday school or gymnasium, or the officers or managers thereof, or of- ficers or managers or persons having charge of any place of public worship, shall so far omit or neglect any duty or reasonable care or precaution respecting the safety or health of any scholar, pu- pil or attendant, or respecting the tem- Derature, ventilation or cleanliness or strength of any church, hall ef worship, echool house, ae cgaigns rie of ve to ani are te ac oe tT Yotas. aope Feemiee gh too ee that “a whole show.

Extortioners Escape While the Prisoners Are Trying to Explain Situation. By dynamite and the inoendiary’s torch a desperate band of biackmailers thas been trying to extort money for the comfort and protection of the two fugt- tives wanted for the murler of Grace Carbone, whose body was found in a méipond at Georgetown, Conn., early last month. A running revolver duel at Fifty-ninth etreet and Second avenue near midnight last night between the blackmallers and two of their victims drought out the whole story of blood money demanded for the murderers. Baivatore Cussoniano and his brother Charles, two eober, hard working men much beloved in the colony of Paler- mians along East Thirty-ninth atreet, were arrested just as they were closing im on two representatives of the black- matling gang under the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge. Unable in their broken English to make their case un- deratood, the two eaw both of the men who had threatened them with fire and bomb disappéar, while they themselves Were in the grip of policemen, Later they told their story.

Policemen pounced upon brothers, and the two biack- mall scaped. One was believed to have been wounded. NEW SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES TO BE BLESSED. An Unusual and Special Service at the Church of the Immac- ulate Conception, The Feast of the Immaculate Concep- tion, an unusual and especial service, Health, have been instructed to give spe- cial attention to the condition of moving pleture shows in their sections, ‘There are only sixty-eight sanitary in- @pectors in the five boroughs of the city of New York, and only twenty-elght of them in Manhattan, but the field will be covered. Employees of the Health Department manifested considerable interest in re- ports of methods of deodorizution in practice in many of the cheaper “movie” houses. DARKNESS PREFERRED BY. THE CHILDREN OF THE AUDIENCE, In Williamsburg and Brooklyn, as @long the east side, there ts hardly a five-cent theatre where a window can be opened except at long intervals when there 4s no reel showing. Opening win- dows, especially in the daytime, not only admits light and endangers the vatue of the film, but also the darkness which seems to be sought in many places by children of opposite sexes. This can be readily seen by watching them take seats first in the parte of the houses which are darkest. The suggestive imi- tations of soul kisses, often by young wirie, are the result of this security of Garkness and the suggestion brought up by the indecent film. ‘That the air in the narrow, box-like “movies” is unspeakably foul needs no further proof than the admission of the impurity by the managers themselves, who send attendants about squirting a malodorous, soapy disinfectant, of doubtful value but successful in kill- ing the other stench by sheer force. ‘This disinfectant or secondary odor is to lay the stifling filth ee wet es smother dust on a dirty Without the long pump squirt- ing over the walls, floors and even clothes of the patrons, the place would be unbearable, Along Graham avenue in Wilttams- bupg there are several five-cent movies which are unsanitary. In many of the houses there are alot machines for spraying one with @ fith deodorant. ‘The price for this protection ts one cent and worth it. The owners seem willing to make @ profit through these machines through reason of the filthy condition of their places which renders inoculation worth money. DOESN'T DARE LET UP USING THE DISINFECTANT. Up at & theatre in Third avenue, near One Hundred and Jorty-ninth etreet, in the Bronx, an usher walks up and down the centre aisle all during every per- formance indusiriously shooting what he called ‘disinfectant’ and also the atmo: “Te that necossay for The Evening World, “You'd say #o if you smelt it after I had stopped fo he went on, usin bind they use in 8.
