What dominating force instllls such thoughts in our minds? We have the newspaper which supplies us with maternal to be read and the radio over which we may hear news from almost any part of the world but the motion picture is the most convincing force we have because it supplies us with that which is not only read and heard but that which IS seen as well Q9 I I , , I ' 1 , . f I F A I - A I Now you are hurried past one special portrait, but, being curious, I ' I .. . .

THE AGNITA The mation picture plays a very important part in nearly every Americans life We have made it one of our greatest sources of information It farms our opinion of the different classes of people of how they live and how they prosper Since this is so we should asl4 ourselves the following question Are the pictures that are placed before the public giving the correct information so that right opinions may be formed in the rrinds of the millions of men wom n and children who visit the theatre almost every weelcr? Some do but unfortunately there are iust as many more that spread false propaganda wherever they are shown Are the rich and the poor portrayed as they should be on the screen? Are crime pictures and war pictures put b fore the people in a true light? ls the comedy wholesomef? It is true that most of the pictures give us the true characteristics of the average person but we must remember that it is the unusual person who mal4es the greatest impression on the public This popular novelty is a powerful agent in affectina our attitude towards other countries their people, and their rulers Very often we are given the true causes of war and the ways and means to prevent it While many pictures clearly point out that crime does not pay there are hundreds especially among the young who never learn that lesson from the picture They learn how to conmit crime Comedy wwich is int nded to provid inno ent amusem nt is so who attends such a picture runs the risl4 of having impress d on his mind undesirable pctJres which it is almost imodssible to effa e fhere is no doubt that the motion picture with its great variety of topics is an educational forc It is a most direct way of publishing and portraying the every day routine of people the world over But like all other so called educational means it has its strong points and its weal4 points When a picture shows what is true uplifting and helpful to better living it is truly educational, but when it shows what has a tendency to rouse the base passions of man it is in every sense a vitally destructive force If we consiaer how much or how little the motion picture cha racterizes he every day life of all people and what good or what harm it can CD we shall keep in mind its power ana be more discreet ttf: pi ture ve inteno d s JAMES J FINEG!-XN so ' 1 f ' f ' A t ' i' ' ' H , 9 I, A f , f f- . .
