the growing attendance tends to prove
that they are very popular with all cltl

Many women and children and In fact
whole families are permitted many an

outlying ahows that they would otherwise
ba denied. It Is so easy to Just run down

It la a mistaken idea that the little
movies hurt the attendance at the larger

rather tend to Increase It. In the first
place most people becomo "movie fans"
by just dropping In to the most con- ; where,

community house. I.ter when they de-

they go down town. Then, too, many peo

Filmland's best asset Is the Interest of
'women and children. . Anything that of
j fends them In moving pictures is against
the best Interest of the screen. Realizing
this as sn Incontrovertible fact, rroducers
will have nothing to do with U2gcstlve
I photoplays.
j Huch are the conclusions cf E. V. Hork-
helmer, secretary anil treasurer of the
company which makes Balboa feature
filma. '
"The so-called 'nasty picture' la short
lived," saya Mr. Horkheimer, "and it
never has been known to create a depend
able clientele for any house that special
ises In It.
"Heart Interest In the best element with
which to hold picture-goers. It applies
to the written story as well aa to the
drama. Ta be sure of this one has only
to analyse the books and plays that have
gone on indefinitely. Their heart interest
Is the element that ha appealed to the
multitude. In every man, woman or child
there Is a better nature, that can only
be touched by a clean story.
I a. J . ..I . I
. "I realize that there are certain things
represented In production at times from i
the very beat movies on the pert of the
producer which advertiser distort In or
der to muko a sensual appeal. Then, too,
soma stories which have been written
with a good motive In view are twisted
out of all semblance to the original for
the purpose of pandering to tho baser
part of men and' women. But they are
becoming fewer and fewer.
"Dirty dollars are not lasting and the
companies which are going ahead are
thoao who are putting on photoplay with
a constructive viewpoint. Wholeaomeuess
must be tho keynote."
The observations of Mr. Horkheimer
meet with the approval of the majority
of Omaha photoplay devotees. '
It may be excusable to picture vice at
t'mea to point the contrast and to show
how good triumphs.
