Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1927)

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Judge Ben Lindsey Defends Flapper Movies [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29 ] "He put the young girl on the stand and she admitted that she was a constant attendant at the movies. The mother never went to the motion picture theaters. "The older woman's lawyer stood up. 'You see?' he shouted. 'She's the kind' — and he pointed at the rouged, lipsticked flapper— 'that runs to the movies and gets all the modern notions that are leading our women to Hell! What would this woman* — and he turned to the other defendant — 'want with lipstick, rouge and mascara? This other admits she goes to the movies; she is the one whom you must search for the stolen property — ' " THE judge was dissatisfied with the results. Following his usual custom he brought both women before him, one at a time, to his famous judicial chamber. The girl frankly admitted she was a flapper, but denied ever taking an article from , anyone. The judge, I think from what he told me in that fascinating breakfast conversation, was inclined to believe her. He sent for the other woman. It is too long a story to go into details. But with that instinct of getting to the hearts of all people who come before him, with the one remark, "You don't love your husband, but you do love " — a certain traveling salesman, — he opened the flood gates of confession. The mother had stolen the beautifiers to make herself attractive before her lover; the flapper had cared for the mother's children while she took the cosmetics — to lend her a little beauty. OF course, Judge Lindsey always camouflages his stories a little, so that the principals will not be recognized in the reading; but the essential facts remain unmolested. He concluded the narration: "Yet I am convinced that a jury of twelve men would have sentenced the flapper, largely upon the evidence of her attending the movies." Incidentally, this girl's favorite pictures were those depicting the flapper and flapper actresses. "No, the movies may be teaching the young girl to spend money on rouge, lip| stick and mascara — " "As the men spend it on shaving cream, hair tonics and face lotions," I interrupted. He nodded. "But it is teaching women to think, think about life. And just as you are unable to see the forest from a distance through the foliage which enshrouds it, so are we unable to see clearly the changes in civilization being brought about by the movies. 'They are many. But paramount imong them is the teaching of the sex question, the opening of the way for cor"ect instruction in the Art of Love, so ;adly neglected before the innovation of *:he so-called flapper pictures!" at JEWELS EXTRA THIN We Insured Watch BUYDIRECT Save50%!
