PICTURE PROGRAMMES
[to the editob.] Sir, —With reference to a letter in yesterday’s “Star” concerning picture programmes for children, I cariridt say very much about what effect they would have, but recently I took my mother and sister to see a picture recofrimended. as inore suitable for adults and I often thought since what an effect such a picture must have on modern girls. As an example of extreme fashions in dress, extravagance and disregard of marital ties, it was superb. Surely, the exhibition of such pictures should be prohibited entirely.. The modern girl needs little enough encouragement when it comes to forgetting conventions, and the ideas gained from pictures like these must lead to the breaking up of many a happy home. I should think prevention of this sort of th i rig much more important than depriving chib dren of a little harmless interest in a thrillihg picture.—Yours etc., A SON.
