These put tions, a sort of giant-fungus growtl the movie business, stand as liten for millions of movie-goers—a m» narcotic to keep them happy while beloved screens are not working, pending on the great industry for very sustenance, it is natural that t magazines should give desperatelj their best to defend the source and ] of their whole existence. The uttei tility of most of their editorial argui for their cause is nothing short of thetic. They seldom achieve a worth reading by persons with cap! for independent thought. But nov\ last, one of them has named with phasis and conviction the vital and c ous "first step" toward the regenerj of the movie world. In "An Open Letter to Mr. Will Hi rublished in Photoplay for April, read: "Viewing the situation broadly, I lieve that what motion pictures nee< the present time, more than anytl else, is a moral house-cleaning. 1 need it for their own good as well as 116
