If you good decent Christian women would unite with the other Christian women throughout America, you could put a stop to the whole wicked tendency of the stage and moving picture business, but you women permit your children to go and you go yourselves. I personally do not believe any woman can be going to a moving picture show four or five times a week without being developed into a superficial type. I don’t see how you care to go. There is a similarity about all the plays and it is the rarest thing in the world that you ever see one that has any refining influence.
