MUSIC HALLS IN ROME
AUDACIOUS NUDES. PAPER’S SCATHING ATTACK. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) ROME, February 18. (Received Feb. 19, at 9 p.m.) The Osservatore Romano, in a scathing attack following up the Pope’s censure upon kineraas and music halls in Rome, says: “ The censor’s work in Romo is useless. Nudes in music halls arc becoming more audacious, creating tumult in the souls of the people, while minors learn the mysteries of life in the kinemas. The church authorities are obliged to warn the faithful from attending immoral art exhibitions, while salacious foreign magazines and pseudo scientific pamphlets full of filth are condemned. The authors are prosecuted in courts, their works being read only behind closed doors, yet they have entrance to the Academy open to them.”
