Vicious Films in the Guise of Morality
By Editor
"VICIOUS Films in the Guise of Morality" is a heading that a recent metropolitan daily uses for an editorial. It talks of the efforts that the said paper has put forth to have the picture shows in its particular city relieved from the interference of the overzealous censor, but it finds that "there has been a tendency on the part of some exhibitors to take advantage of the city's new and liberal policy." The editor concludes with the statement: "It is time that we rid the city of pictures that are objectionable. Respectable managers must be made to know that morbid shows will not pay. Other managers must be put out of business, if necessary."
