Scenes From Coming
tette in fine fettle for their roles
in tho musical programs, with the
sielmr and star , musical feature
which presents the 4U-pteee Knter
prise philharmonic orchestra, and
a dance revue by the 'ittlc artists
and the above named lectures as a
background, the program us now
outlined promises to surpass any
thing given in recent years. And
it is all northwest talent.
(Jhautuuqtia fans should bear in
mind the chutitauqua picnic din
ner on the first Sunday following
the afternoon program. Coffee
will bo furnished in abundance and
the countryside is invited. The
Kntcrprlse orchestra gives the pre
lude Hunday afternoon und the
program at njgbtt and, with the
Kntcrprlse fans who will come out
with the musicians, will Join In
the t:nlon county crowds at the
picnic dinner. "It promises much
enjoyment," said Charles Ulngner,
secretary of the association, this
morning In announcing a brief
epltmomlzed outline of the pro

A moot question Is that of
censorship." explained Mrs. Lilly.
"It is taken for granted, that
there must be some protection
from the exhibition of quest lor
jable films, but whether it shuil
mum cuimui ur irumui - ui
re-'.community pressure upon the lo
cul exhibitors, has evoked expres
sions , of sincere differences of
opinion. The ordinary citizen,
busy with bis daily duties, tun not
spend his time viewing pict jrea
and it would seem as if the re
sponsibility for compelling pro
ductions to adhere to some fixed
standards of morality ought to be
lodged In thu bunds of cupahh
pcrsons who have no other claim
upon t heir time und attention.
"Complaints about the filming
oft books whose popularity us
'best sellers' depends upon thi
exploitation of the so-culled sex
problem have been received und
passed on to producers, but the
pictures us u rule aro free from
the objectionable features of the
books and our protests fall flat."
Mrs. Lilly suid the federation's
motion picture committee "started
wit h a fresh ent huslusm w hie b
embraced the Iminedlute sol it Ion
of the motion picture problem,
but as we progressed e became
imprcKsed with the Intricacies of
the situation and begun to rec
ognize the fact that the tremen
dous Investment of capital und
time which provided this form of
entertainment is not to be quick
ly affected.
"A study of the business side
of motion pictures will give one
some comprehension of the struc
ture of the edifice ugutnst whlen
we are . pounoThg and the dlff -culty
of finding the vulnerable
point of attack. It will also show
us the necessity - of keeping th
Industry stable eno igh to ut tract
capital, for without R Improve
ment fn the field will be Impos
sible. "It was appreciation of this
that led our committee to seri
ously consider some action In r'
gunl to t he banning of pictures
because of I he reports of que .
dutiable conduct of actors. Af
ter due deliberation we declutt-d
our endorsement of the policy of
believing a person Innocent until

"In addition to trying lo hold

suggest a t borough study of utl
sides of the question of censor
