Click on image to zoom in
Vignettes show children leaving Sunday school on the left and walking to the movies on the right, with scenes depicting bad influences, such as “The Devil’s Recruiting Station” and the hazards of films that teach bad habits, such as “Where did you learn to crack a safe? At the Moving Picture Show.” Above the Sunday school is a bust of an angel; above the movie theater is a bust of the devil. Caption: From the Sunday-school to the moving-picture show is but a step.
