"SOCIAL HYGIENE FOR WOMEN" npHFS film, made by the American Social Hygiene Association, is designed for illustrative use only, and is always to be accompanied by a lecture. It is to be shown only to women and girls over the age of sixteen. The first reel is an explanation by animated drawings of the physi- ology of the reproductive organs, birth, etc. The second reel explains disease dangers, the symptoms, course, and effects of these, especially to children born of diseased parents. The film ends with the following appeal: Venereal Dheaaes Are Preventable! Every man and woman can aid in combating them. But in combined effort lies tlie greatest promise of success. The unit of society is tlie family. It must be protected from moral and physi- cal hazards by the community. To aid in doing this, a well-founded program has been adopted, which consists of these measures: 1. Provision of recreation and entertainment. 2. Education in social hygiene. 3. Knforcenient of laws against prostitution. 4. Medical care for infected persons. These two reels are admirably adapted to teaching pur- poses. The first reel gives a dignified, scientific treatment of the origin of life, contains no suggestion of the abnormal or the unhealthy, and is an excellent presentation of the subject, clear and easily understood. The purpose of the second reel is naturally somewhat different and it is open to question whether the two reels should be shown at the same time. The association now has this matter under consideration. Social Hygiene for H'omen. Produced and Distributed by American Social Hygiene Association. 2 reels. "SUNRISE FOR THE MONO" 'T'HE Mono Indians in the remote mountains of Cali- fornia blossomed forth as movie players on Thanks- giving Day, in a picture called "Sunrise for the Mono," taken at Auberry, California, for the Stereopticon Depait- ment of the Baptist General Board of Promotion. The tribe, an old and big one, retains some of its most primitive customs, such as the pounding of acorns between flat stones for acorn mush, while figuring as a highly modernized labor factor in central California. Through the efforts of their missionary, J. E. Brendel, these Indians practically monopolize grape and hop picking and wood hauling in their section. The picture shows the Monos in their daily life, and at work in their mountain homes. The scenario was written by Coe Hayne of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. " A MODERN RI^TH" A N International Church Film Corporation two-reel pic- ture, A Modern Ruth, gives the story of an American girl whose devotion to her relief work in France kept her there after the war was over. She met and married a French aviator. After his death she went to'the home of his mother where she learned to take his people to her heart, indeed, giving up an opportunity for literary dis- tinction in her own country to do so. The story is a simple one, simply worked out, but it contains several dramatic moments. The story of Ruth, recalling itself to her mem- ory, as she is packing her Bible for her contemplated re- turn home, is what turns her decision, and the story is veiy successfully portrayed on the screen titled by the Biblical words. A Modem Ruth. Produced and distributed by the International Church Film Corporation. 2 reels. PROGRAMS COMMUNITY CENTER THE SPEXDER.S—.l/«fro 5 reels (A story of giving.)
