HE motion picture is goinj: to church. Screen versions of the v-ivid stories of the Bible, dramas, comedies, travelogues and educational films are to take a place in the constructive work of the leading denominations

through a new movement sponsored by prominent clergymen and representative laymen, seeking to elevate the standard of the film and make it a force for the church. Vampires and their victims will have no pkee in the dramas, custard-pics End bathing girls will be eliminated from the comedies and the travelogues will be of historical and biblical value, in the new type of film, for the entire program u-ill be of a constructive nature.' Churchmen themselves will conceive and produce the films from the church's point of view.

"Many commercial films have come to mean largely stories of intrigue, sex, crime and coarseness." said the Rev. Paul Smith, one of the leaders in the movement, in discussing the new project. "We are going to try to popularize, through the churches, films with a real moral message, clean, wholcscme and constructive." - The church film movement already has grown to considerable proportions. Mere than 2,000 churches now have motion picture equipment and it is believed that within a year more than 5,000 churches will be using films in connection

with their work. The Biblical films will be used in the Sunday services and the others in weekly recreational entertainments or community meetings. Work already has started through the Internationa! Church Film Corporation, organized by clergymen and Laymen, to produce the film on a comprehensive program. Among the Biblical films that are being made are "The Good Samaritan," "Blind Bartimajus," "A Modern Ruth," and "The .Child Samuel." Identified with the movement are many Christian leaders and it has the endorsement of all of the leading Protestant denominations-
