PICTURE SHOWS.
Tlie necessity for the exercising of a censorship over the picture shows of this Dominion is pointed out by a correspondent. The hint is one which might well be taken. The picture entertainment, in itself, is one of tine finest forms of amusement that could be conceived. Under certain condiitiions it is educational as well as instructive. - There seems to b» a disposition, however, on the part of some managements, to cater for the lovers of romance*" alid sensation, at the expense of the intellectual. This can only be attended with injury to the morals* of the community, and by an ultimate idss to the management themselves. The difficulty in New Zealand appeaiis to be in making a selection of films which will appeal to all classes of the oomanunity. With, the exercise of judgment and care, there should be no need for the adoplStm of measures in New Zealand, such as those whichi are proposed in New South Wales.
