Scathing Attack on Italian Life
CENSOR’S WORK USELESS ROME, Feb. 18. ’ Tho Osservatore Romano makes a scathing attack, following up the Pope’s censure upon cinemas and music halls. The Rome newspaper says that the censor’s work in Rome is useless. Nudes in music halls are becoming more audacious and creating tumult in the soul of tho people, while minors learn the mysteries of life in cinemas. 'The church authorities are obliged to warn the faithful from attending im. moral art exhibitions. Finally, salacious foreign magazines and pseudo-scientific pamphlets full of filth are condemned. The authors are prosecuted in the courts, where their works are only road ■ behind closed idoors, yet they have entrance to the Academy open to them.
