CINEMA PERIL.
♦ "VIGILANT HOSTILITY" NEEDED (bt cable—feess association— coptrioht.) (Sydney "Sun" Service.) LONDON, January 6. "A commercial cinema depends on the ability to attract the largest possible number of silly people in their silliest moments. I would not like to be a shareholder in Hollywood on the day of judgment," said Mr R. F. Cholmley in his presidential address to the Head Masters' Association. "The chief victims of the industry are the immature minds of western children, and the minds of some of the immature and some of the dangerouslv precocious of the inferior races. The cinema is typical of everything deserving our most vigilant hostility as protectors of the young. "Any business, except educational, of exploiting children, is at the best liable to lower the standard in order to extend the market, and at tho worst is an enemy of the human race. 1 believe it can be defeated, as education is improving daily."
