MOVING PICTURE
CENSOR FOR LONDON
Former Examiner Of Plays Tells
His Ideas of What Movies"
Should Be.

London, Nov. sc. A. BEDFORD has
received official notice Of his appoint
ment as a censor OF moving picture
films.
Mr.. Bedford is looking forward keen
ly to the work. which he believes will
be easier than the examination of plays,
his duty for a considerable time at the
Lord Chamberlain's office.
The camera he said yesterday,
never lies. What 1 shall see when ex-
aiming films is what the public will
see.
I'm examining plays it is different
You have only the manuscript. You
have to judge carefully sentences and
situations which may read well, but
which when acted, create a totally diff
ferent impression.
There is a great difference betaween
reading a play and seeing it acted.
Sometimes you would hardly recognize
it on the stage as the play you had
read
The one difficulty 1 see is the ques-
ton of children, and this, of course, is
most important. Children go in large
numbers to the Cinematograph shows
throughout the country, and We shall do
our best to see that nothing is pro-
duced to alter their outlook on life.
Il think that violent death scenes,
grim suicides and murders should be
discouraged as much as possible, and
religious subjects should be carefully
considered,

",1uch Ado About Nothing"

The revival Of Shakespeare, which
seems to have swept over the metropolis
of late, was added to on Monday night
by Miss Annie Russell's production of
Much Ado About Nothing at the
Thirty-ninth Street Theater.
Miss Russell seems to have an abiding
faith in the efficacy of Shakespeare to
compete with the products OF the latest
Broadway playwrights, and so far her
successes have given credit to her per-
spicacity.
Miss Russell acted the part of Beatrice,
and a bright and sparkling Beatrice she
made. Frank Reicher played the part of
Benedick, the cousin of Beatrice, and
George Giddens had the role of Dog
berry. Each of these three principals
gave a brilliant performance, though it
might be said of Miss Russell that her
comedy could have been a little less
forced. In her defense of her maligned
cousin and in the subsequent love scene
with Benedick she could hardly have
Icen better, however.
From the standpoint of the casual
Shakespearean playgoer, the perform
ances of Frank Reicher and George
Giddens were perfect. The rest of the
cast appeared to be well drilled. and thor
oughly convsrsant with Shakespearean
Interpretation according to the edicts of
he principals.
