States," by the Rev. Joseph A. Luther,
dean of men at the University of De-
troit, in a talk yesterday before the
Diocesan Council of Catholic Women1
meeting in the League.
The Rev. Luther, who is a member
of the executive board of the Detroit
Council of Catholic organizations, re-
viewed the history of the Legion of
Decency from its inception last April
and outlined an optimistic future for
the organization.
"The Legion has succeeded," he de-
clared. "It has become international
and its field lies along the line of
close co-operation with the best ele-
ments in the industry, with the
elimination of block booking and blind
booking, with urging that much fewer
pictures be the aim of each production
studio and lot, and with gradually
taming down this giant young indus-

By a final vote of 14 to 6, it was

the forces of evil as do the charac-
ters on the stage. Children are bet-
ter audiences because they have less
inhibitions about their likes and dis-
likes, he said, and because they know
less about theater deportment than
grown-ups.
It has become, according to Mr.
McCracken, a tradition that as thea-
ter-goers, adults are frankly dull.
After tomatoes and eggs, there was a
definite reversal in audience policy
which resulted from the theory of
"aesthetic distance."
Mr. McCracken explained that this
theory places the member of the aud-
ience definitely outside of the play,
making him a glorified "peeping
Tom." It became vulgar, bourgeois,
and inartistic for the theater-goer
to express out loud his likes and dis-
likes concerning the ideas in'his play.
