This public Interest must be taken Into account Decent-minded people do not cars to Continue an entertainment companionship With Arbuckle In view of the revelation of his character; his pictures are "ho longer being produced.

Whether other artists of the movies have had a sufficient lesson In these two recenf instances remains to be seen.

It is high time that the producers took a hand in cleaning up the moral filth in the colonies; If they do not they will run the risk of sustaining heawy loss. The public is apt to form a code of morals of its own. to Include not only murders but free and easy violation of the sacrament of marriage in the divorce courts and other marked evidences of degeneracy in morals. Decent-minded people cannot enjoy a picture when they realize that the principal characters on the screen, in their companionship almost as naturally as it they were there in. person, are besmirched and' befouled with sexual sin and general depravity.
