RELIGIOUSFEELINGIN .ERIN'S CHRISTMAS T HE celebration of the festival In Ireland does not differ to nn.i . great extent, perhaps, front its. method of observance lit other conn tries,. The deeply religious sentiment of the country makes the religious oh servnueO of the festival its dominant feature. Thb humblest habitation wears an air of cheerfulness when decorated with holly uud Ivy, from which .the red berries which grow on th'e holly peep out lu great profusion. In the Cathode churches in the larger Cities and in many of the smaller places as well masses are celebrated hourly from midnight on Christmas ”<5Ve, thousands (locking first to the mid­ night mass'and later to those that fob low. Even in the penal days, wlien It meant death*for a clergyman to per­ form the holy sacrifice or for those who assisted a t it to be caught in at­ tendance, the midnight mass was nev­ er abandoned. When the churches were destroyed by Cromwell and Elizabeth the priest took refuge beneath some protecting rock, and with scouts among the flock ' thrown out to guard against surprise by the soldiery the mass was- offered up. a3 It hud been in the earlier days . of Ireland’s religious glory.1- ' Today, happily, there is no surh ban oh the religious faith of 1he people, and tlm through Who then, flocked to the glen or the mountain side to assist In the holy sacrifice can attend their re­ ligious services fh comfortable churches everywhere throughput the land. On Christmas mprnlpg, especially In the rural portions of Ireland, the peo­ ple flock to the morning masses, often traveling eight, and ten miles from their homes in ‘ the remote hills and valleys of their respective parishes. .The goose hangs high in Ireland on Christmas day, and n6. family (s too poor not to provide the delicious bint On Christmas night the waxed bless­ ed caudle Is lighted in honor of Christ's nativity, and music uud good cheer of every kind are enjoyed everywhere. The' day following Christmas, S t Stephen’s (lay, is also regarded as prac­ tically a holiday. It is mostly availed of by the young people, especially the boys, for fun and frolic of every de­ scription. Athletic sports, footbnjl matches, burling mid other enjoyments are general.

A. W E A V E R Only Two Out of Nearly One Thousand Theatre Men Favor State Board Canvass Made, by Cleveland Photo* play Board of Trade—Report Made La* Convention International Mo­ tion Picture Association in New York—Same Convention Endorsed " Work of National Board of Cen­ sorship. That there is no sentiment in favor of any other kind of Censorship of motion pictures except that of tbe Na­ tional Board among those conducting picture theatres was clearly and con­ vincingly shown by the result:of a poll made by the Cleveland Photoplay iPBoard of Trade in-June last. This result was announced a t the National Convention of the Interna­ tional Motion Picture Association in New York by the .Chairman of the Cleveland branch, Mr, Sam, H.. Bul­ lock, of Cleveland. The report fol­ lows; « ^ “Bulletins to each exhibitor enclos­ ing printed ballot were sent out,’’ said Mr, Bullock. “These were followed "by letters urging the importance of a full 'vote. The results showed that out of 848 exhibitors asked regarding their views on censorship, only two were for legalized censorship in any form.” The 814 wereifor the repeal of the Ohio state censorship law,, and con­ cluding his remarks, Mr. Bullock said; “We will put in a repeal bill and will work our screens until next winter, at which time there won’t be a single censorlte left,”. At this same convention, the work of the National Board of Censorship was endorsed and all manufacturers were urged to have their films passed upon by that -body. f The members were also urged to become associate members of the National Board, so that they might review Its Weekly Bulletin and see for themselves what pictures had passed and what changes had been made In others.

Issues Bulletin to Manufacturers Distinguishing Between Fashion* ’ able and Other Apparel. , The National Board of Censorship in Bulletin No. 11, which is reprinted below, says the New York “Tele­ graph," takes exception to the (ten­ dency of certain manufacturers to ■permit their actresses to under, dress the part of the socially elect, The hoard draws 'a line between the ultra fashionable gown and the demi-monde Imitation. The bulletin la designed to assist tbe jhanufacturer in saving sev­ eral yards of film by adding an equal pr corresponding am oun t'd material to -the costumes of ,his players, It reads as follows; “To the "Manufacturer—During the pas,t few weeks the National Board has.' received.' complaints from high- class motion picture exhibitors and the public that some of the producers of motion pictures are presenting their women characters in certain so­ ciety scenes so scantily clothed that both good taste and the moral con­ ventions are disregarded.- *■ “We presume that the attempt of the producers has been to portray the elegance, luxury and atmosphere of so- called ’high life.’ Unfortunately it has sometimes happened that they1have more nearly approximated in -these ‘society’ gowns the ideal of the demi­ monde and the brothel, "Public opinion frowns on women wearing gowns showing their backs bare to the waist, Cut out in front be­ yond the requirements of decency, and with nothing 'whatever over their shoulders. It la on ly 'in the demi­ monde, the burlesque and variety show, and in some motion pictures, that such gowns are presented as characteristic of women of taste, re­ finement and morals, # The producer who presents or permits his actresses to present society scenes with women ggwned in this manner is not only guilty of bad a rt, but also of making i.lctayea k Jth .ijaji.*uiorjl ?An4\,--*Vi.rP F, G. ■X-XJeweler and Optician 2C2C A Most Beautiful Line Christmas and Holiday i ■, .» Goods - 134 S O U T H M A lfr S T R E E T , - Ohio mm mm Gift Suggestions Shirts Gloves Hosiery # Mufflers Clothing i . j Pajamas y . ■ - ‘ Neckwear Scarf Pins Fancy Sets Bath Robes House Coats Night Robes ' * •' ■ ■• • Link Buttons Safety Razors Leather Goods ' * ’ , i Hats and Caps Silk Suspenders 1V * 1.* Merchandise Orders Everything newand attractive— very Reasonably priced.
