SEX-IFIEI) MOVIES
At tho risk of be ng called a
prude, this writer wishes to regis
ter his objection to the picture
“The Birth of a Baby" recently
prearnted in Richmond. As an ex
perienced teacher, I feel that sex
education has its place in the study
- of every youth, but the time and
place and circumstances are mat
ters of the greatest moment.
It is true that hitherto much of
any. education has been given in the
streets and imbibed in the streets
b> the youth of the land. This hu«
been unfortunate for the youth and
tho community. A new day has
dawned in which sex h"s its place
in tho educationnl scheme; and
aex is no longer to be regarded
as something indecent or degrad
ing but it is fast coming to be
regarded as the high and holy thing
is is. Hoerin lies the dangers. Too
mako too much of Hex in try'ng to
’•nautify it and idealize it is to
V'stroy it* beauty and sanctity.
Man is to constituted psychologi
cally that he cannot worship that
which is common and it may be
x the reason that his Creator
screened from view tho eternal
verities of the hereafter. To make
thing** of sex too common is to
degrade them eventually.
“The Birth of a Baby" as a
cross section of movie education
may not appear ill'cit or undesira
ble, but as a trend it is horrible!
The unsophisticated and guillible
public does not know in the long
run what is best for itself. The
public must be saved from itself
by those who understand the foibles
of human nature Nobody denies
that pregnant mothers need the
attention of their physicians; that
informat^n relative to the pre-na
tal development of the child should
be made clear; that certain exami
nations are pertinent to her con
dition and that labor pains are

knows in u way t.’vo part the phy
i Irian plays in the dr-livery of n
child. But foe t.'-r producers to
screen every deta'l of this solumn
procedure before m'xed audiences
in the nsimn of educating rbe pub
lb is deplorr-bie to say tie least.
It would be a fine picture for
expectant mothers and prospective
i I'nthers but for the general public
i it is simply another play up of
sex for the commercialising of
cine isf humanity’s most sacred
passions. Picture producers are not
necessarily interested in improving
the morals of a nation and U.i
world. They ore primarily in’er
I rstH in Rolling a ocreen p’-*tfuc
fion and although they in ninny
■*u>vi do much, the said good is a
hy-prcduct.
i
I One man was askrd his oh -
| jcction to restaurant food ir.'i Iw
replied, "restaurant food is not
cooked to seat but to sell." While
this ig not true of all restaurants
it cun be applied to the produces
r.f screen pictures. For ho long
matters of sex were taboo that vv •
me coming to the other extreme
i ai.o make them too common. Here
in lies the possibilities of moral
I degradation! It has come about
i that every picture has its love
seme with its embracing and ils
inevitable "mushy kissing.” All
l-.nds of suggestive th ugs ;,tv<kon
I i mi acted before the gaze of im*
! mature persons. From one degrei
| of six incss to another the movie
if. going. It this generation »• coopts
the “Birth of a Babv” the will
i be shown "The Begetting of A
| Baby etc.”
Somebody ought to call u halt
| to this debasement of the only pas
i Plon make life worth living. Some
I thing of its privacy and beauty
should be safeguarded There ..s
| no partcular point to be served by
showing a baby coining into this
world head-foremost assisted by a
physician and nurse. There is noth
ing that a movie audience can gain
from hearing a mother groan in
labor. The movie producers know
that such things will sell 'for they
cater to the rnorbib propessities of
human nature . These producers
know that if ‘‘sex-iness’’ is paraded
under the guise irf sex education
the gudlible public will crave more
and more of it. The producers know
that matters of sex have always
been, are now and will ever be
interest. They know that if this
can be put on the screen pictures
will sell. They are right*
I sent my class in Family Re
lations to see the picture and out
of 35 only 5 did not approve of it.
The majority thought it fine and
I am not surprised nor disconcert
ed at their conclusion. The end of
all this sexiness will be sex per
version and national decay. Con
genital sex perversion among1 the
lower animals ig common; acquired
perversion among human is dan
gerous. Life in the movies begin i
at SEX-TY. A nation’s shame!

Pending in the Nebraska legis

than the building and maintenance
of Nebraska's highways.
Today, State Engineer A. C. Til
ley anticipates that by June, 1939
there will be $1,176,000.00 of fed
eral aid funds available for Ne
braska highways—but which won’t
be matched due to present inroads
on state highway funds.
Adding to the federal aid which
will be unmatched by June 30, 1939

next two years require matching.
Thus there is a total of $6,616,460
1 .00 wh'ch must be matched with
stato funds if Nebraska it to make
i full use of the federal funds avail

ONTHEUR
By Sailye Bell for ANP
Last week students of Washing
ton’s Armstrong high school were
featured on a program represent
ing the fourth of a series of “Stu
dent Radio Workshop” programs
under the auspices of Station
WJSV and the Washington Post
and with the cooperation of Wash
ington’s board of education. The
school’s 65 piece boys’ band played
John Phillip Sousa’s “Thunderer”
and the 18 voice girls’ chorus sang
"Irish Love Song;” Craig Wesley
played a violin solo, and talks were
given by Helen Morton, senior at
the high school who Bpoke on
“Crime and Youth” and Francis A.
Gregory, teacher of applied elec
tricity at Armstrong whose sub
ject was "Industrial Arts in the
High School.” Dramatic skit of
the program was a scene from "The
Beggar and the King.” The pro
gram was produced under the su
pervision of Mrs. Estelle P. Webs
ter, music teacher at Armstrong
high school, and Mrs. Elizabeth W.
Smith, teacher of dramatics and
English Those participating in the
program arc members of the Stu
I dents’ Radio guild of Armstrong
; high.
I’m sure Washingtonians enjoyed
thlu broadcast by Negro students,
and I only hope they didn’t keep
their enjoyment secret, but immed
iately wrote letters of apprecia
tion to station WJSV, officials of
the high school and board of edu
cation. It is only by audibly voic
ing, you know, tohat we can let
them know that we want to hear
more Negro talent.

If. Arthur Gilbert, concert was
guest at h's alma mater, Los An
geles’ Sumner high from which he
graduated in June, 1936. Mr. Gil
bert is assistant to the musical con
sultant of radio station KFUO. and
may be heard Mondays and Fri
days featuring piano selections
from 7:46 to 8 A. M. and plays
daily for the Concordia Chapel
from 9:80 to 9:45 A. M. His other
broadcasts are: “Organ Reveries’’
on Friday from 10:30 to 10:45 p.
m.; and “From the Organ Loft,”
10 to 16:80 p m., Thursday and
Saturday, whieh is hear over the
mutual chain. If west coast fans
are getting h?s programs, I hope
they are letting him know much
they like him.
If you listen to "Her Honor,
Nancy James,” dramatic sketches
on Columbia network Mondays thru
Fridays (WABC-CBS, 12:15 to
12:30 P. M., EST), you'll be inter
ested to know that Gee Gee, color
ed housekeeper in the sketches, is
one actress who doesn’t have to
change her name for the script’s
sake. Her real I fe nickname in 1
Miss Goo Gee James. She was
christened Regina Theodore James,
but ever since she was a little girl
in Philadelphia, she’s been called
Gen Gee.
Her dramatic career began one
summer when she won a dance
contest A producer engaged hei,
then 14, for “Charleston Dances,”
in Wilmington, Dec, When vaca
tion was over, she resumed her
studies at John Halahan Catholic
Girls’ High school, where she be
came captain of the first colored
professional basketball team in
cham of Canada. The decision was
Philadelphia. After graduating
from high school, she sang with
Claude Hopkins’ band in Atlantic
City and Los Angeles, then came
to New York in “Hot Rhythm.”
This season sihe was seen on Broad
way with Arelen Francis in “Mic
hael Droos In.”
In private life Miss Janies is
Mrs. George Wiltshire, a mother
of a six year old daughter whosi
name is of all things, Gee Gee.
These little biographic sketches
of stars always make them a bit
moro interesting, and I hope you
readers will tune in on "Her Hon
or, Nancy James” and listen to Gee
Gee, and then drop her a line and
tell her how you like it. I know
gbo’d be glad to hear from you,
«o how about it?
Don't look now, but Zora Neale

To Kick one in the face
When he is down and out
But the one who never cries
Who keeps his usual pace
Is he who will win out.

Have naught to fear or dread
