' Every Manufacturer's Pledge (Continued) After all, pictures have a very effective censorship in the persons of pa and ma. who will soon regulate any producer who offends the decencies. " And this from Carl Laemmle. President of the Universal Film Corporation: '-Universal 1 is pledged for clean pictures, and against cen: sorship. Censorship by little cliques is un! fair because it has been demonstrated that the cliques themselves do not agree on what is censorable. The things that a clique in one locality will eliminate, the cliques in another will pass. This results in endless con: fusion. Censorship by politicians is vicious because it not only leads directly along the ! road toward dishonesty, but threatens to plunge the screen into politics, an evil which the industry has thus far managed to avoid. 1 The only real, true, practical censorship is the censorsh'p of public opinion, and I mean by this the public which pays real money to see pictures. We found long ago that the oublic wants clean pictures and even if there were no other reason on earth for giving them clean pictures that is what we intend to give them because we have found by experience that that is what they want." J. Stuart Blackton vows: "I am and always have been unequivocally in favor of absolutely clean pictures. My standard is fixed by whether or not I would be willing to have my young daughters see my productions. This does not mean complete emasculation of the situations inevitably interwoven throughout all dramas of human life but it means that the utmost care be exercised in choosing themes in which the keynote is decency and morality. I am and always have been against legal censorship of motion pictures on the ground that it is class legislation and therefore unconstitutional. There are laws and statutes in every state to punish the exhibition of indecent pictures." William L. Sherrill. President of the Frohman Amusement Corporation, wires: "The Frohman Amusement Corporation is opposed to censorship on principle, just as it is unequivocally for the manufacture of clean — and nothing but clean — pictures on principle. Our every production has been an adaptation of some successful novel or stage success, in which I think we have proved our desire to offer the public nothing but cltan. wholesome material which bears the stamp of general approval." And from Ricord Gradwell. President of the World Film Corporation : "World pictures stand on their list three years' record as proof that censorship is not needed and that World is itself a strict censor in every way. We pledge ourselves to make as we have made under this administration. nothing but clean pictures. We realize the responsil ility in handling entertainment that strikes close to the family tie. and need no governmental control in questions of decency." From Samuel Goldwyn, head of the producing organization bearing his name: "Goldwyn pictures have always been made and will always be made with an eye to cleanliness and healthfullness. They are stimulators of public morality. The picture of ours that lapsed or offended the moral rules of any community could be promptly dealt with under the police laws that safeguard the welfare of that particular community. Motion pictures in general have done more to improve the morals of American cities than any other factor in the past ten years. Public opinion and the application of the ordinary existing safeguards are sufficient to drive any unclean producers out of the business. The present scattered agitations for censorship are not founded on sanity or logic and again represent attempts of minorities to impose their will upon majorities."
