CONSERVING MOVING PICTURES
Objectionable Films Cut out Before
the show Can Go On.

The power OF the moving picture show for
good or evil seems now to be a vital issue
all over the country. and hundreds OF city
OFFICERS are searching through codes for
ordinances under which they may legally
stop the exhibition OF certain films or
hurrtedly passing new laws to meet the sit
uation. Chicago has had for some time an
effective way of dealing with Objectionable
shows In its special board, whose business
II is to censor them In advance, and also
to inspect the actual performances as a
double safeguard.
The five men on the board, headed by a
police sergeant. Charles E. o'Donneu. cover
the city. A decision of the supreme court
two years ago confirmed the right OF the
police department to supervise the exhi-
oition In moving picture theaters, and the
board was then organized with orders 10 he

their release. In one case the policeman
sat alone, looking intently at the silent
drama" while half a dozen employees OF
the exchange stood anxiously about him.
He held up his hand. and the machine
was stopped
You'll have to cut out that murder" he
said decisively
But It will spoil that story-thats the
whole point!" pleaded the manager. while
the other men crowded around, adding their
arguments.
Cant help It," answered the policeman.
You'll have to clip that murder and give
it TO me, or you'll get no permit for that
film in Chicago"
And there was no help for II. That meant
losing many feet OF the roll. and the best
part Of the climax. but the censor's word
was law. The film was taken out, the muir
der scene cut from'it. and a reading no.
tice" inserted to explain what had happened
In the hiatus. The policeman wrapped the
clipping up carefully. labeled Il. ana took
1t to his office to be stored away. When
the film is sent elsewhere, these censored
parts are restored to the owners.
The list OF Objectionable features Is not
long one, but rather broad and leaves
much to the discretion OF the censor. Crime
must not be presented in heroic ASPECT:
there must be no murders; no burglars or
other criminals are allowed 10 escape the
