I suppose I’m on the wrong side of the fence,” wrote a Kansas mother in 1932, “but I contend that we are not helping our children fight evil by tying a black cloth over their eyes and telling them that evil is not there. Censor the cigaret-smoking woman on the screen, and they will see one in our own little city. The real problem is that mothers say, ‘Here’s a dime. You may go to the movies. (And stay out of my way.)’ How much better to say, ‘Let’s go to the movies.’”
