CINEMA CONDEMNED
ENEMY TO HUMAN RACE
ITS CHIEF VICTIMS AN OUTSPOKEN CRITIC. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 10.25 a.m. to-day. LONDON, Jan. 5. “The commercial cinema depends on its ability to attract the largest possible number of willy people in their silliest moments. L would not like to be a shareholder in Hollywood on the Day of .Judgment,” said Mr. R. F. Cholmley in an address. •‘The chief victims of the industry are the immature minds of western children, and the minds of some immature and .some dangerously precocious of the inferior races. The cinema is typical of everything deserving our most vigilant hostility as protectors ot the young. Any business, except educational, of exploiting children is, at the best, liable to lower the standard in order to extend the market, and at the worst is an enemy to the human race. I believe it can be defeated, as education is improving daily.—Sydney Sun Cable.
