PICTURE POSTERS
CONDEMNED BY CANON. By Telegraph—tress Association. WELLINGTON, September 29. Strong criticism of undesirable types of picture posters was passed by Canon James, when addressing the Women’s Social Progress League. He said he knew that there were salacious pictures and novels; he knew there were films which, although not actually salacious, showed the sacredness of sex and marriage, smudged with coarseness. Pictures and novels were one thing, but posters were another. “The state not only allows these picture posters, but protects them,” Canon James added. “It must be the natural impulse for many people to tear many of them down, but if they did it would be an offence against the law. It is an intolerable state of things. The time has come when we must put an end to this beastliness that shrieks from our hoardings.
