THE MODERN CARTHAGE
“On with the show!” # -
Thus while grim nature was making a shambles oi
Long Beach, men, women and children were dying, while
distraut and apprehensive parents and friends paraded
by the marble slabs seeking possible trace oi loved ones,
Hollywood, famed for its abandon of decency, and the
mirror whence is reflected the sordid, immoral side of
American life, answered while pugilists battered ana
bruised one another in the prize ring.
Long Beach and environs is experiencing something
akin to the great San Francisco earthquake of Apm 18,
1906. San Francisco was a hard hit city, famed for its
vice and corruption.
But there were limitations to indecency even among
the habitues of che purlieus of Barbara Coast. Scarlet
women, erstwhile yeg and bankers nibbed elbows ren
dering what aid was possible to stricken victims oi the
Great holocaust.
But Hollywood must have its thrill. .
They are searching for causes of the nation s decad
ence, the distored perspective of youth, crime, misgiving
and uncertainty. .
The answer is Hollywood in what it has given to the
world in glorifying lack of virtue. It is the modern Car
thage, whose filth is purveyed daily to a world disgusted
with the nausea. .
Fortunately discretion has been exercised in the
presentation of films in Alaska, the motion picture
houses having refused to be the agency for pandering
to the sex inebriate, outlaw against decency and a gen
eral assault against America’s traditions for well order
ed social life.
Such a thing as a prize fight in progress where
shouts drowned the anquish of a bereft mother could
have happened nowhere else but Hollywood.
There is a nadir of depravity. Hollywood has reach
ed it.
We were not so much perturbed by the bank holiday
as we are apprehensive of a closed season on porcupines.
Sourdough Bill issues an official statement to the
effect that it was not the California earthquake that
shook the sides out of the Porcupine city hail. It was the
cork which flew out of a bottle in his hip pocket.
