Mrs. Robert G. HaIliwell, 1133 L.ake avenue, chairman of the motion picture committee of the Woman's Club of, Wilmette, appeared before the board on behaîf of the Better Films group. The occasion for ber appearance was the receipt of a let- ter from one of the producing com- pallies demanding to know by what authority the Better Films group make its recommendations concern- ing pictures to be shown at local thea- ters. The letter ivas received after the group objected to a picture that was schedùled for showing here. Off er Suggestions. Mrs.-Halliwell pointed out that her committee does flot act as an officiai, censoring body, but that it previews 1ictures and makes recommendations as to which films it considers suitable for showing locally. The committee works with the local theater opera- tors in 'this respect. After Iistening to Mrs. Halliwell's presentation of ber case, the board voted to support ber and hier organ- ization. The film producing company will be so notified.
