TRAFFIC IN FILTH
FURTHER PROTESTS (United Press Association —By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright) ROME, 18th February. The “Osservatore Romano” makes a scathing attack, following up the Pope’s censure upon cinemas and music halls. The Rome newspaper says the censor’s work in Rome is useless. Nudes in music halls are becoming more audacious, creating tumult in the souls of people while minors learn the mysteries of life in the cinemas. Church authorities are obliged to warn the faithful from attending immoral 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 read behind closed doors, yet they have entrance to the Academy open to them.
