Abstract

The uproar about the sinfulness of the movies is just a big, stupendous, colossal misunderstanding. The motion pictures are accused of corrupting the morals of American men, women and children. But consider who makes the accusation, a "Legion of Decency" already numbering hundreds of thousands of people and rapidly growing. By autumn it is expected that there will be at least 12,000,000 legionnaires of decency, 8,000,000 Catholics and 4,000,000 members of other denominations. By their own admission these crusaders are themselves unstained, the movies have utterly failed to corrupt them.
