CINEMAS IN ROME.
IMMORAL EXHIBITION. CONDEMNED BY THE POPE. United Press Assn.—Eloc. Tel. Copyright. ROME, February 18. The Osservatore Romano prints a scathing attack, following th.e 'Pope's censure, upon cinemas and music halls in Rome. The newspaper says the censor’s work in Rome is useless. Unclad women in the music halls are becoming more 1 audacious, creating tumult in the souls of the people, while minors learn the mysteries of life in the cinemas. The Church authorities have been 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 read only behind closed doors. Yet they have entrance to the academy, which has been opened to them.
