Personal character is undeniably important, he says, more immediate concern. The greatest damage, actors who are reckless in their private lives, but by those who, reckless or the reverse, consent to a part in placing vulgarities on the screen, “A man may live a perfectly normal life at home, but if he takes part in the development of stories that embody unclean ideas he is thereby guilty of an injury which is vastly greater than if he confined his vicious influence simply to his personal acts,”” “A man who, in the part of a bank robber, shows just how a bank may be broken into is helping to pervert the minds of tens of thousands of boys over ‘robber’ might himself be a bank robber on the side and yet never in that way work as much harm as by portraying the robbing of banks on the screen. what the people see the actors do that makes for good or evil rather than what these actors the vast Hines does but the picture itself is the public’s he believes, is not done by motion picture It is that in one community the censor reported that vulgarity had been eliminated from the films only to have stupidity take its place. vivid commentary can be made upon the scarcity of real reasons for the existence of the ordinary commercial moving picture than the above-quoted remarke of a this is a frank admission that movies must be either vulgar or stupid.
