State st. —Advertisement.I/What Policeman Funkhouser Does NotCannotSee!The moving pictureindustries in the world, no equal.business has become one of the greatest As an educator for old or young, it hasy byMillions are invested in it. It has created thousands of handsome theaters. It furnishes employment to countless thousands of people.It furnishes high-class entertainment to millions of people who can’t afford the high prices of the “regular” theaters with the illegal scalpels commission added. It has been a Godsend to the Universe.—It is an illustrated geography of the world. It is a University of Art, Science, Literature, Drama and Comedy for 10 cents. It illustrates everything from the Crucifixion of Christ to the actual blooming of the rose. It creates laughter and tears, happiness and pathos. It teaches great moral lessons and shows us in picture what the people of the whole world are doing.It deserves dignified treatment and cordial welcome from the hands of the Universe. But in Chicago it is treated like a homeless hobo or a drunken suspect.■This is probably due to the fact that here its destinies are in the hands of Policeman Funkhouser who evidently does not grasp its beneficial and educational significance. This is proved by the awful spectacle presented here on Thursday when he invited an audience composed wholly of Jews to witnessShakespeare’s immortal classic, “The Merchant of Venice,” and in effect said to them, “If you think it’s all right, I’ll let the rest of Chicago see it.”—Shakespeare evidently had Policeman Funkhouser in mind when he penned this meaty paragraph: “Man, drest in a little brief authority, plays such fantastic tricks as make the angels weep.”■In other words the policeman askedthe people of one religion to pass on a* classic that has charmed—and will continue to charm—the people of all religions. We'd like to ask you, Mr. Policeman, whether, when we produce an Irish Drama, you will ask Governor Dunne, Roger Sullivan, Richard Collins and other representative Irish citizens to state whether it is fit for the Jews?We have no quarrel with Jew or Gentile. We are not thinking of offending either. We are not thinking of either. Our main idea is to entertain, instruct and amuse, and our purpose, as carried out, is ten times more lofty and elevating than the butchery by Policeman Funkhouser can ever hope to be.He is destroying the continuity of our pictured stories. He is making beautiful and costly productions appear ridiculous. They are tattered and torn and unrecognizable when presented. Andthere is little or no sense apparent in the changes that are made. When we produce anything immoral we’re willing to have it dumped in the scrap heap. But to sit here and see our pictures made senseless and disconnected is too much for human nature to stand.—This is our grievance against the policeman. When he finally gets ready to do some good we are with him. But as long as he continues to do nothing but harm, we are not with him. Just now he’s skeezicks.
