S. Walker, Mgr. BROOKSVILLE, MAINE. CORRESPONDENCE. EXHIBITORS JOIN IN THE "UPLIFT." Pinconning, Mich., April 24, 1909. Editor The Moving Picture World: Dear Sir — In a recent issue of M. P. W. an exhibitor complains that some of the films treat of subjects not simple enough for the understanding of the patrons, and he mention"Mary Stuart," "Virginius," "Charlotte Corday." These subjects please the majority of our patrons because we explain them, and that is the only way to elevate the moving picture business and the taste of our patrons, not only in moving pictures but in reading. Let us have ancient, medieval and modern history films, but let us have them true to history, not like a recent film, "For Love of Country," which no censor should allow to be shown, not only on account of its false history teaching but of the horror of the Indians burning out the soldier's eyes. That disgusted our patrons. Let us have more of Shakespeare's dramas, of Sheridan's, Goldsmith's, etc. After I had explained the play of "Othello" some school girls asked me if I had that story in a book. And every one who saw the pictures expressed themselves as we)l pleased, but said they would not have understood them without the explanation. Don't let us have silly or vulgar subjects. Don't let us be like the minister who thought by using slang and, as he said, getting on the level of his people he could help them. He did not. He only disgusted all, even those who used slang. Yours truly, DREAMLAND THEATER COMPAXY.
