CHEERING NEWS FROM MOVIELAND
(By Wightman F. Melton) t
One doesn't have to be very old to re
member the first moviing picture#. The
editor of The Griffin Daily News, who is stili
a young man, must remember the first movie
in Baltimore. He was a lad, some sixteen
years old. if 1 remember correctly, wher.
Blaney’e melodramatic theatre was changed
into a picture show.
A* Blaney's grew in popularity, it was not
very long until another picture show wa
opened, on the same street—Eutaw—not far
from the Lexington Market. It was about th<
time that I heard two newsboys debating ar
to which show to attend. It cost five cents
then. One boy said to the other. “Come*
on, let’s go to Blaney's. You can see fifteen
for nickel, there. • *

Since that time, the moving picture has
developed, wonderfully, but not always along
wholesome lines. Griffin :has been more for
tunate than many cities of the same size—or
larger—in having, in the main, clean pictures
Now and then, of course, there have been
objectionable scene# in otherwise beautiful and
entertaining and instructive pictures.
Now I am sure we are all glad to know
that the Motion Picture Producers and Di#
tributor# of America and the Association of
Motion Picture Producers of California have
aent out notice of certain themes that shat
not be used in motion pictures.
Among these, there is to be no profanity!,
illegal traffic in drugs; no ridicule of the
no i
clergy; no wilful offence to any nation, race
or creed; and nothing offensively suggestive
of sex relation.
On the other hand, special care is to b*.
exercised in the manner in which certain
subjects are treated: the use of the flag;
.international relations; religion and religious
ceremonies; arson; the use of firearms; theft,
robbery, safe-cracking, etc; brutality and pos
gruesomeness; technique of committing
J er by whatever method; smuggling; thirc
raurt electro
degree methods; actual hangings or
cut j oni as legal punishments for crime; sym
pathy for criminals; attitude toward public
characters and institutions; apparent cruelty to
children and animals; branding of people or
anifna l, ; the institution of marriage; surgical
opern tions; the use of drugs; titles or scenes
having to do with law enforcement of law
enforcement officers; and all titles or scene#
involving sex relation.
It is also good news to know that hospitals,
home for the aged, orphan asylumc, prisons
nnc j sc h 0 ola for the deaf are to continue to
receive pictures either without cost or at a
nominal fee covering shipment chafges.
It is heartening news to all lovers of good
pictures to know they are to be made better,
