From a Boy's Standpoint
By L. CASE RUSSELL
My folks are awful good and kind — I know I oughtn't kick, My mother 's sweet as she can be, and father, he 's a brick. And that's just why it's queer to me that they wont let me go With all the other fellers to the Movin' Picture show.
Dad says, "My son, the picture show I pos-i-tive-ly bar, I've often read how low and coarse those picture places are." And mother says, "I, too, have read how Western scenes entice Poor foolish boys away from home to plunge them into vice. ' '
I teased and begged them please to come just once and really see The kind of show the Lyric had — you should have heard them — gee ! ' ' A ten-cent show ' ' — that was enough ; I guess the picture show, By chargin' opry prices, could get all the snobs to go.
I read the daily papers, and no one seems to care ;
And, say, the things they tell about aren't all quite on the square —
Eloping parsons, murders, thefts, divorces in a row ;
There isn 't much they 'd leave to learn at any kind of show.
And that 's the queerest part of all — so far I haven 't seen A single play that wasn't good upon the picture screen; Why, every time I 've ever been, it 's made me ache to be Big-hearted, strong and manly, like the players that I see.
I never cared for church a lot — I guess boys seldom do — But say, I saw some Bible scenes that made it all seem true; One film took us 'round the world, showed how each country looks, I got more real geography from that than twenty books.
I hadn't ever got wrought up in studying history 'Til I saw the "Death of Nathan Hale," and "Arnold's Treachery," And "Washington at Valley Forge," and "Bunker Hill" — well, say, I'd be crazy about hist'ry if they'd hand it out that way.
But what 's the use of wishin ' — unless my folks will go And see, instead of readin', 'bout the Movin' Picture show? They '11 never know how much they miss, nor how they martyr me — It's hard to be the son of folks who 're convinced before they see !
