THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1921 14 PRODUCERS 1TE FILM Sex Plays and Salacious Pictures Doomed. in REFORM IS FAR-REACHING Publtehers of Songs and Vaudeville Managers Join, in Slovcmcnt to Turify Entertainment. Sex plays and the salacious in pic tures will be eliminated in the future productions of leading companies, ac cording to Benjamin a. nampton himself a producer, who recently at tracted wide attention by an attack on objectionable plays. Not only are the pictures to be cleaned up. but muelc publishers are getting together to refuse distribution to suggestive Konirs and vaudeville managers are censoring coarseness from their acts. The changes amount to the ''great est reform ever known in the history of entertainment," says Mr. Hampton who has issued the following state ment: "Burinir the last few years, in al ! most every etate of the union there 1 has sprung into existence an aggres Bive demand for censorship of motion pictures. Many states and cities have created consorehip boards. The move ment already has reached such point as to threaten the existence of the pictures art and Industry "A few weeks ago I submitted the entire situation to the general pub lie through a magazine of enormous circulation, the Pictorial Review, in an article entitled 'Too Much Sex Stuff in the Movies? Whose Fault Is It?" In that article I stated plainly that the screen was burdened with subtly sa lacious sex pictures and declared my belief that the industry was incurring the wrath of thoughtful men and women. Theater Owners IVot Responsible. "The theater owner was not to blame. The public flocks to the the aters showing spicy plays and gives meager attendance to the house show ing clean plays. The box office 'tells the story," and the exhibitor had to pet into line with sex-appeal pictures or go out of business. "1 stated that the majority of pic ture makers and theater owners are clean men, desirous of building their business on the solid rock foundation of 'family trade," and that If the pub lic rallied to their support the eala clous play would pass out of exist ence as quickly as the war play died after the signing of the armistice. "The daily newspapers throughout the country published liberal extracts from the article and literally thou sands of news articles and editorials were printed. A tremendous agita tion followed with the result that public opinion expressed itself first as opposed to unclean plays, and sec ond, as anxious to co-operate with film Interests to make the screen safe for the growing generation. Greatest Reform Augured. "Results have followed with such startling rapidity that today it is pos sible to announce that the greatest reform ever known in the history of entertainment is now in actual oper ation. 'Wot only have the motion-picture people 'cleaned house," but their ac tion has the co-operation of the vaudeville interests and the music publishers. "No slow, tedious, cumbersome, un American censorship accomplished these results. The men in these in dustries, aided by the press and the public, accomplished In a few Weeks constructive results that would never have been possible through censor ship. "In New Tork, at a meeting at Del monico's, a committee representing all producers and distributors except three, banded together and adopted resolutions which will make It impos sible for exhibitors to show their productions where such exhibitors show salacious pictures. All services will be withdrawn to such exhibitors. Clean Pictures Is Keynote. "Adolph Zukor, president of the Famous Flayers-Lasky company, was selected to lead the industry. Mr. Zukor said: 'So far we have been successful In putting all picture men aces properly before the various leg islative bodies, but all this will do no good unless we make pictures elim inating entirely salacious elements." "Clean pictures was the keynote of various addresses by Hugo Keisen feld, Jesse Lasky, Edward F. Albee, John Emerson and others. "In Los Angeles the most largely attended meeting of the Motion Pic ture Directors' association of America was addressed by W. W. Hodkinson, the well-known distributor. Mr. Hod kinson told the directors that the total volume of theater business now is about JhOO.OOO.OOO a year and that it would increase to a billion and a half dollars the first year of clean pictures. When mothers and fathers tan permit their children to go to the aters freely the box office will dou ble its business. Producers Take Drastic Action. "Samuel Goldwyn issued instroc tions to bis Culver City studio as follows: No pictures showing sex attraction In auy suggestive or Improper manner shall be produced, and there must be no saia ciousness In photoplay titles and advertis ing matter. No picture shall be produced which makes drunkenness or gambling- attrac tun?, and stories dealing with the under world shall not be presented unless such scenes are merely a part of s conflict be tween right and wrong. Nothing la to be pictured which might lns'.ruct In the methods of committing crime. No incident in a story snail needlessly oftend the homers or a religious belief. "Jesse I Lasky has promulgated a list of '14 points' to be observed in future pictures produced by his com pany. They include: No pictures showing sex attraction in a surgestlve or Improper manner. No picture dealing with "white slavery." Stories built up on illicit love permlssl b'.e only If they convey a moral lesson. Nakedness banned. Inviting dsnoes eliminated. Unnecessarily prolonged passionate love scenes. No stories principally concerned with the underworld. No pictures which might Instruct the morally weak In crime methods. No stories which may offend any re liKious sect. No Incidents showing disrespect for any rel'gion. Suggestive comedy barred. "Unnecessary depiction of bloodshed" must be avoided. No salacious titles nor advertising. Lasky Takes Individual Action. "Mr. Lasky declared he undertook the purification of his own volition and was not influenced In any way by censorship or 'blue law" agitation. H ,Tted also he would make no i - --. induce his fellow producers ' , ; . similar steps. via Angeles vaudeville house . one act presented on the , ;1 contained several vulgar 'Vfter its first performance inent disciplined the actor ent of one large vaude- ,'ian cent out ordera to the effect that nothing of a vulgar nature is to be permitted on any of his stages. "The board of governors of the Music Publishers' Protective associa tion in New York decided to urge every publisher of modern songs In the country to turn down any lyric that should not be rated chemically pure. Suggestive Song Barred. "Aside from tha fact that publish ers do not wish to be sponsors for gongs capable of indecent construc tion,' said E. C. Mills, executive sec retary, 'the purely commercial aspect of the situation is that from now on such songs are to be barred from the better vaudeville theaters and pub lishers who back them may find pro fessional support withdrawn.' "Unquestionably the entertainment interests of the country have placed the burden of responsibility where it belongs, squarely on the shoulders of the public. The people can have clean pictures by encouraging and supporting those producers and those theaters dealing in clean pictures. Tell your story to the box office and you will find the film people anxious to provide the form of photoplay you demand." MURDER CHARGE FAILS B. B. ST-BI-HEXS FREED JUKI' AT MARSHFlELiD. BY Plea of Sclf-Defense Conies to Aid of Accused and Verdict Is Agreed Upon Quickly. MAKSHFTELD, Or., March 10. (Special.) B. B. Stephens, on trial here charged with the murder of Ed Wilson, was acquitted tonight after the Jury deliberated two hours. Wilson's death resulted from the refusal of Stephens to become a party to the scheme of murdering Mrs. Ed Wilson and burning the Alpine room ing house, which Mrs. Wilson was conducting, was the conclusion drawn from defendant Stephens' testimony, which was given to the jury last eve ning and this forenoon. Wilson and Stephens had been fairly intimate until Wilson com menced to make a confidante of Stephens and tell him of placing a bomb beneath the Sunday Morning Bee office, of other criminal acts he had done, and ended by trying to in veigle Stephens into the murder and arson scheme, according to the de fendant. After Stephens refused to participate in the murder of Mrs. Wil son, Ed llson became afraid some of his doings would leak out and' de manded that Stephens leave the coun try, threatening him with death, said the witness in his own behalf. Stephens thereupon went to a casual friend and borrowed a re volver. There had been some ques tion of Wilson being armed when he came into the room at the Alpine rooming house, as nothing was found upon him save a small pocketknife. Stephens swore that Wilson had this knife opened In his hand when he approached him and threatened to cu out his heart. After Stephens fired the fatal shot, he declared, Wilson straightened up, closed the knife and placed It in his pocket. He then walked out of the room and through the hall, falling as he emerged on the street. Stephens, In observing Wilson's act, following the shot, was not certain he had hit him, for he showed no sign of collapsing before he left the room, Mrs. ilson and numerous other witnesses testified to Wilson's dan. gerous character and the prosecution could produce no evidence that re futed the many tales told of the deceased. The object of Wilson In suggesting the murder and burning of the house was to obtain the in surance money on the house and fur niture, Stephens said.

Presentation to day by the pope of the red hat to three new cardinals Archbishops uennis J. Dougherty of Philadelphia Josef Schulte of Cologne and Michael von Kaulhaber of Munich, attracted princes and peasants, diplomats and citizens to the Vatican. The ceremony, which has come aown virtually un changed through the centuries, com bined historic brilliance and sacred Impressiveness. The pontiff rode to the Selia Regis in the sedia gestatoria borne by crim son uniformed attendants, and took his throne surrounded by prelates and richly uniformed representatives of royal families and plumed knights. The new cardinals entered and bowed low three times and then knelt and did homage to the pontiff. After the reading of Latin perorations, the cardinals received the embrace and welcoming kiss from each member of the sacred college. Two masters of ceremonies threw over the trio's heads the purple cappa magna. The cere mony closed with the papal benedic tion. At the American college Cardinal Dougherty received many friends this afternoon. One of the last callers was a papal monsignor, who brought the cardinal red hat. Many Americans attended the cere monies. L CHAPLAIN PASSES J. J. KANE ATTAINS RAXK OF REAR-ADMIRAL. Officer Enters Xavy In 1861 Sees Exciting Service During Civil War Days. PHILADELPHIA, March 10.

The Xew York Central railroad, announced; to day that beginning April 16 wages approximately 43,C0 employes in vir tually all departments will be re duced. A conference will be held later to agree on. the new scale. The formal order, addressed to em ployes coming under 85 official class ifications. affected virtually every oe partment of the system between Xew York and Chicago. The office of general superinten dent has been abolished, and six ot ficlals holding this position have been demoted to the grade of superinten dent, railway officials announced to night. General Demotion Proposed. This nten was a movement for general demotion of railway officials of virtually all grades, it was stated. Officials stated that the duties usually devolving on other officials, who also have been lowered, will be consolidated with those of the super intendent.

The transnortation act. however, express-ly nmriiis. ihat tha railways Khali be economically managed so this actios is In conformity to the law.

Detriment Is Alleged. "Artificial and unwarranted high wage scales upon the railways are detrimental to industry in general, as well as a direct burden on the rail ways, which the public must pay in high rates, with the more serious alternative of suffering the deteriora tion or breakdown of transportation machines. "On behalf of the public the rail ways are combating the so-called national agreements and rules which have produced grotesque injustice and almost insurmountable handicaps to official management, before the labor board. "The transportation act and the rulings of the labor board provide that the railway managements shall confer with their, own employes In advance of any revision of wages in an effort to arrive at an agreement. The New York Central is conforming strictly to these rulings." OTHER RAILWAYS ALSO Cl'T Thousand of Employes of Western Roads Arc Affected. CHICAGO. March 10.

Among" railways cutting wages were the Santa Fe, Chicago, Milwau kee and St. Paul, Chicago and Great Western, Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago and Xorth western.

THEATER BUILDING SOLD Fun I ages Buys Hippodrome Struo . ture for $450,000. A deal -whereby Alexander Pantages ot Los Angeles, Cal., is to take over the Hippodrome theater, Broadway and Yamhill street, from Max Houser, the present owner for $450,000 is prac tically completed, according to an nouncement made last, night by John A. Johnson, manager of the local Pantages theater. Mr. Johnson said that negotiations for the purchase were completed and only waited the forwarding of 1100,000 by Mr. Pantages, now In Chicago, to bind the deal. The remainder of the purchase price must be paid in the next 90 days, according to the agree ment.

SLAYER CONFESSES DEED SOLDIER ADMITS KILLING OF TACOJIA TRAIXMAX. Sorffeant Charles M. Hamlin of 39th Infantry Pleads Guilty. Companion Sentenced. TACOMA, Wash. March 10. Ser geant Charles M. Hamlin, 39th in fantry, Camp Lewis, today pleaded guilty In superior court to the mur der of Charles W. Bardon, railway brakeman. whom Hamlin and twe other soldiers were accused of hold ing up early Tuesday morning, the trainman being shot three times upon refusal to hold up his hands. Ham lin's trial by Jury will be held as soon as possible, the prosecuting at torneys oftice said tonight, tne law providing that sentence cannot be passed on a plea of guilty to first de gree murder. Private Edward B. Root of the same regiment and an alleged com panion of Hamlin, pleaded guilty to charge of highway robbery and ws sentenced to from 10 to 10 years in the state penitentiary. Sergeant Joseph Luebbers, also of the 39th infantry, the third soldier involved, asked that his arraignment on a charge of highway robbery be postponed until tomorrow morn ing. The request was granted. Superior Judge W. D. Askren, in sentencing Root, said: The very fact that a man in uniform takes him from the suspi cion of the average citizen. The uniform of the United States soldier never has stood for robbery or any sort of crime. To a person walking along a dark street, the appearance of a soldier In uniform usually gives sense of security equaling the ap pearance of a city police officer. In my mind the fact that this crime of highway robbery was committed by you and your companions while you were in uniform makes it a more serious offense than it would other wise he." AUBAXT JCKY FIXDS VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. Attack Upon Aged Marshal Lubor Day at Sweet Uome Results In Quick Conviction. ALBANY, "Or., March 10. (Special.) James L.
