CINEMORALITY!
THE MOVIES HAVE NO REST IN MADRID. Madrid, July 10. The new prefect of. police here, who recently issued an order that the pexes should be separated in the audience at cinema theatres, has now amended that order as follows: Two-fifths of the space available for the audience will be reserved for women and children; one half of the remaining three-fifths will be reserved for men and children; the other half of the three-fifths will be for both sexes. . Red lights must be kept on at all times in this last section.
Any one over 10 years of age who is found in a part of the house where he does not belong will he liable to a fine' of not less than £2. The newspapers declare that ciifema proprietors will be obliged to take a course of higher mathematics in order to malm sure what the half of threefifths may be.
~ Although the new regulation has been the subject of many humorous paragraphs, it is generally agreed that drastic restraint was needed, since the behaviour of a section of the public at cinema theatres has been a cause of scandal.
