One I'D Fixed as the
Standard Length of Kiss

In her censorship of love dramas Mrs
E. Cyrus Niver. of the Pennsylvania
State board Of censors. has come to the
conclusion that one yard is long enough
for any kiss. She hds sat through
yards and yards of kisses of everY
variety. and her ultimatum. after
watching an embrace which stretched
over five yards of film, was that four
yards should be eliminated. and that
the young people should be torn from
each other after thirty-six seconds OF
osculation.
From in the morning until in the
evening Mrs. Niver sits before the
screen on which one picture after an
other is shown in swift succession. Her
life is one continuous attendance of
moving picture performances. She holds
in her hand a pencil and pad and makes
her comments on the films by noting
down objections as they occur and max
ing suggestions for eliminations or indi-
eating her disapproval.
She views the passing film from the
standpoint of adolescence. Will II harm
the child? What effect will It have on
the grown boy or girl?
