Wabash Ave., Chicago— 250 Stockton St., San Francisco Copriaht lazi. Rudolvh WurHizer Co. had to be retaken three times. The strain brought on a stroke of paralysis, and for four years the girl was an invalid. Finally, her health was restored. She came again to Hollywood and found, as so many others have found, that there was no place for her. The public had forgotten. The girl was Florence Lawrence. The other day she played a little part in an independent production, through the kindness of the producer, Ben Wilson, an old friend. She who had been the fore most figure in pictures was now merely "atmosphere." What was it old Omar said? 'When You and I behind the veil are past, Oh, but the long, long while the W odd shall last, Which of our coming and departure heeds As the Seven Seas should heed a pebblecast." It is almost as if Omar Khayyam had known Hollywood. 0 Warns against Sugar Coating the Stage — From page 57 Is the Pollyanna. Screen Immoral? few flagrant violations of decency of late on the screen. The latter have occurred in certain cheap East Side theatres which have imported foreign films of an objectionable character and at stag parties. "There are a number of scenes which I see on the screen, however, which I would never pass if I were on the New York Commission," Mr. Sumner told me. Among these he mentioned a highly improper scene in a late domestic drama in which a husband breaks into a wife's bedroom and tears the lingerie straps from her shoulder. Sumner Against Flapper Pictures "F, lapper pictures are bad just as the books are bad," he said, "particularly when they show young girls doing just as they please while parents look on approvingly, often indeed setting an example of loose conduct. "Not only are such exhibitions bad," said Mr. Sumner, "they are not true to life." Which, of course, leaves all students of the rising generation somewhat in the lurch. Human Wreckage was described as an excellent picture in most respects by the newer Comstock, although he would have deleted one or two scenes in which the administering of the drug was shown. "I thought the subject in this picture was well handled on the whole," said Mr. Sumner. "But no method of administering a drug should be displayed in films under any circumstances. Showing the effects of the drug evil is not bad, but I am not. generally in favor of displaying vices in order to correct vice." // Winter Comes received honorable mention from Mr. Sumner for the unobjectionable handling of a girl's betrayal. He thought any child might see "Captain Applejack" in film form. Sumner Against Temple of Venus c utaneous propensities" and the exploitation of "feminine pulchritude and physical qualities" in such films as The Temple of Venus 'displease Mr. Sumner very much. A Pollyanna heroine in a flannel nightgown is never objectionable, but a bathing girl in tights always is, he declares. Flaming Youth he found irking because of the false portrait it gives of modern youth. He said managers liked to play up nude scenes in their advertising. Another clergyman who declared himself opposed to the unrealities presented under censorship was Dr. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community Church of New York. He has a congregation which has abandoned the Puritanical tenets for a more broad-minded creed. But he adds that screen advertising is vile. "One of the more amusing results of screen censorship in New York," said Doctor Holmes, "is the fact that the censors are occupied in making minute cuts in the pictures themselves while they permit all sorts of objectionable advertising to be flaunted in theatre lobbies for the exploitation of pictures that supposedly have had all of the wickedness removed. "In my opinion movies are not half as black as they are painted. But I wonder constantly why they are painted so black. Attack on. Objectionable Advertising CJome time ago when our church was burned down we held services in various theatres devoted to spectacular movies. On Sunday morning we were obliged to pass through all sorts of displays, in the lobbies. "These displays presented a psychological study. At first I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with me, that I must be in an awfully conventional frame of mind on Sunday morning. For the most part the advertising was deliberately sensual. I saw one or two of these shows. But they failed to live up to the debasing expectations created by the advertising. Then I wondered what a
