THE MORXTJfG OREGONTAIT, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1914. 11 BOARD OF PRAISE FOR MOVIES IS PLAN Censors Appointed by Mayor to Keep Shows Clean File Exhaustive Report. VAUDEVILLE HERE SCORED Variety Bills Far More Objection able Than Photoplays, Says Dr. W. T. Foster 59 Investi gators Help Inquiry. A board of praise to view and class lfy motion-picture films on the basis of merit and a board of censors to co operate with vaudeville managers in culling Improper acts, or parts of acts, and improper billboard posters are suggested by the committee on com merclallzed amusement appointed last January by Mayor Albee to investigate and report on amusement conditions In Portland. The committee's report, or at least a report prepared by Dr. W T. Foster, chairman of the committee, and concurred in by the committee members was filed yesterday with Mayor Albee. The plan for a board of praise ai outlined in the report is to have view ers see the motion-picture films be fore they are sent to the theaters for exhibition, and in addition to cutting out objectionable films or parts of films, classify the films according to merit. The best films would be placed in Class A. the next best in Class B and so on. Best Pictures Popular. The demand for the best class of pictures exists at present, it is declared, and the picture houses naturally would strive to get Class A films. They would advertise these and get the bus! ness. This, it is calculated would at tract business from houses showing the lower classes of pictures, styled in the report as "empty, negative, vapid, flat, yet not bad enough to be condemned on moral grounds. "Any board of censorship that Port land may have," reads the report, "might well consider itself primarily a board of praise and select those films which at least have positive good or are pure fun. These might be des ignated as Class A films. A number of enterprising managers probably would take advantage of the opportu nity to call their houses Class A the aters and offer nothing but films des ignated by the board as having posi tive value. Other managers, doubtless, would find it advantageous to have certain days for Class A pictures. Vaudeville Men Co-Operative. For vaudeville shows an "advisory committee" is suggested. This com mlttee would co-operate, the report says, with the vaudeville theater man agers in cutting out improper jokes, songs and dialect of a vulgar or im proper nature and in eliminating im proper posters on signboards. "Nearly all the objectionable fea tures," reads the report, "are parts of acts which could be eliminated without injuring the act. In fact, many of the parts regarded by the investigators as vulgar are extraneous matter, destroy ing the unity of the act and detracting from it and apparently varied by the perfo-mers from city to city, depending on the character of the audiences, the general reputation of the city and the instructions of local managers. It is said the managers of vaude vllle houses would profit by having censors. The experience of other cities Is cited in the report- Censoring of vaudeville acts would eliminate "the Just complaint of motion picture man agers and producers that some of their films are considered while worse things are permitted on the vaudeville stage," the report sets forth. Vaudeville Here Scored. The report contains an attack on the vaudeville shows of the city. "Overwhelming testimony is given," it reads, "to the effect that vaudeville hows are in general far more objec tionable than motion picture shows and more frequently offer specific parts which are corrupting to the morals of youth. Of the 68 vaudeville hows visited only 10 are reported as being free from positive objectionable features. On the other hand, most of the acts over 80 per cent of them are regarded as harmless. "Several managers of vaudeville the aters testified before the committee that they personally censor their shows, that they rigidly exclude every thing they regard1 as objectionable, and that, -in their-opinlon. they are compe tent judges of what constitutes moral ity and decency. "The fact is that the Judgment of the managers differs from the judg ment of the investigators. If only a minority of the members of a commit tee represented the diverse popula tion of the city we might brush the matter aside. The striking facts about the Portland investigation are, how ever, that only three of the 29 members reporting on vaudeville shows found nothing objectionable in the shows. All but one of the visits were made after the local managers had had opportu nity for censoring the shows." Report Is Exhaustive. The report contains about 50 pages of reports of investigators on the vari ous shows and films viewed. Tables are listed showing the number of chil dren attending motion picture shows. Reports, it is said, were received from 2647 school children from all nine grades of five schools chosen at ran dom. Only 251, or 9.5 per cent of these children, the report says, do not attend shows. A total of 28.4 per cent attend twice a week or oftener, and 5.6 per cent attend three times a week. Dr. Foster reports that he found it Impossible to get the originally ap pointed committee together, and for that reason the report as submitted was the report of 60 investigators, sup plemented by his own interpretations, and concurred in by the members of the committee.

STOCKYARDS ON TOUR PA XT AGES ACTRESS WHO SAYS STAR PERFORMER CAN name: OWN SALARY. 111k Betty Vale. New Tork vaudeville mana gers are "up against it properly," to use the vernacular, according to Miss Betty Vale, who, with Harry Antrim, is making 'em laugh at Pantages this week. It is all because the managers can not find new material and the old standbys are not getting by with the public any more. "The vaudeville performer who has anything new at all to of fer," says Miss Vale, "can ask his or her own salary and get It. The public is always demanding something new and original, and it's all the better if it is a 'laughing" act. True it is that hundreds of actors are out of work, but it comes because they have nothing original to offer." registered at the Multnomah from Cas cade Locks. K. C.

H. Dawley, a colored attorney who failed to make proper records in the local courts of his cases, may be corrected, a court order wlU be made by Judge Kava naugh in the case of Frona M. Palmer, who sued her husband, J. Palmer, for a divorce. This was granted last No vember, but the attorney failed to file the findings and the records do not show that the decree was given. That his wife harassed him to such an extent that his life became burden some was the plaint of W. W. Brown, who filed a divorce action yesterday against his wife, Hortense. He says she used vulgar and profane language and humiliated him so much that he was forced to leave Portland and took her with him to Seaside, where he pro posed to do literary work for two months. He found this impossible, he says, because of his wife's actions. She is charged with having thrown dishes at him on one occasion and the plain tiff states he was forced to leave her in 1913.
