Making Sodom Sick MEASURED by the pace set at some movie star parties there must have been a lot of weak and sterile minds in ancient Sodom and Baby- lon—Rome and Pompeii. Either that or the historians have been holding* out on us—have not told us all there is to tell. Possibly there was a limit beyond which even a Pagan emperor dared not go. It may be that the truth was not so easily suppressed in those days. There was no phalanx of press agents in the armies of the ancients. There were no million dollar ad- vertising appropriations to help still the journalistic conscience. No sixteen page displays such as ran recently for ten consecutive days in a certain Western daily. In the light of revealed history it is certain—what- ever may have been the cause—that ancient degen- erates had to exercise a certain amount of prudence. There were no modern safeguards such as sur- round the kings and queens of Moviedom. No ram- ification of inteersts to suppress the truth at every step. Moviedom's imagination had free play—un- fettered, unrestrained it made the scarlet sins of Sodom and Babylon, of Rome and Pompeii fade into a pale, pale yellow!
