When Chicago Went Movieless
Chicago movie patrons, deprived of their daily
film fare by a reeent theater strike, turned to books,
news dispatches inform us. Photographs of long lines
of people storming bookstores and libraries while
the theaters stand empty are given as additional
proof. AU this “probably should prove something,
and behind it may lie some great moral; but what
is it? That the fnovies are harming the book in­
dustry! More bookB are printed, circulated and Tead
than ever before. That the movies, being on a lower
intellectual level, should he discouraged while book-
reading is encouraged? Much piffle is put in Holly­
wood cans, to be sure, and unreeled before the
world; but likewise much balderdash is put between
covers aad Beat broadcast as literature. And those
at whom the moronic influence of the movies is di­
rected are quite apt to be attracted by the moronic
influence in certain types of books.
It is difficult to get a fair perspective of the
movies. Supporters can hear, see and think no evil
of them? they are recreational manna, uplifting, in­
spiriting, devotional, given to a weary world to
brighten old age. Their opponents, on the other
hand, see them only as unmoral, unclean and de­
grading, fit solely for suppression and that right
quickly. Neither, of course, is an accurate picture;
the true one lies somewhere between. Bnt where?
Of a late movie magnate it was written that he
replaced thousands of saloons with hundreds of
pleasant picture pab og w . The first part of the state­
ment is donbtful. No one man, and surely no film
producer, banished the saloon from America: that
was done bv the American people. Bnt the second
phrase contains a germ for thought. The main
defense of the old saloon Was that U was the poor
man’s elub. A new club has arisen. Even the
ohiefHst eensnrer of the moyie would scarcely, say
it contains the satoe destructive forces as the saloon.
Not somewhere oaly, but everywhere iu France,
the visit of their wartime comrades from America
has stirred the hearts of the FrriSch people to a Hew
sympathy and understanding.
In formal public address and intimate private
conversation has been rehearsed the lO-year-old
tale of shared experiences — the epochal events that
go to make up history' and the little incidents that
go to make np life.
It ig a happy trick of human memory that the
stark agony of tragedy and pain is soon forgotten.
Lravghtdr wakes a longer echo than a sob, but when
the American Legionnaires gather at Verdun, at
ttt. Mihiel and Chateau Thienry; when they stand at
salute beside low crosses over sunken mounds, they
must remember once again the bitter realities of
the toll of war.
Death is a debt which knows no reparation and
the long lines of the living among the long lines of
the dead, American and French together, -are still
to a realisation of truer values than be counted hy
the money changers.
All the world has paid a cruel price for the
tragic folly that is called the Great War. It cost
so much that it must not now be cheapened and
robbed of the thing that made it great—the self-for­
getful heroism ‘evoked by the unhappy time.
Call it wartime hysteria if von will, bnt the fact
remains that eVetywliere men and women were
