- The cLANSMAN."

/ The Negro Welfare League of Sar
Francisco, OF which A. P. Alberga il
president. and Attorney Oscar Huusor
is secretary, protested against THE
Clansman to the San Francisco NOV
ing picture censor board. AS result
OF their letter the following from the
chief OF police is self-explanatory
4 COMPANY COMMANDERS The San Fran
cisco moving picture censor board, hay-
ing reviewed the picture entitled 1.-The
Clansman," has the following to say,
suggest. and order concerning same:
| when the old white woman in the
Abolitionist meeting shifts the little
colored boy, and shows plainly that his
odor disgusts her. This is in very bad
taste, and is generally unclean and
offensive.
2The scene between the mulatto
housekeeper and Stoneman, where he
finds her after she has torn her clothes,
is offensive through too much lustful
ACkniis LIN paw VA thO StNuC WASAC
he strokes her naked shoulder, and bis
feelings are seen to be aroused thereby.
must be eliminated.
3-The brutality of the guerrillas in
the Cameron house in the scene in
which the women take refuge in the
cellar Is too long drawn out and much
overdone. A portion OF this scene of
wanton violence should be cut.
4-The scene in the legislature show
ing buffoonery OF Negroes, taking off of
shoes, etc., is overdone and overplayed
and is therefore essentially offensive to
colored people.
5-Gus's chase OF the girl is far too
long drawn out, and that part where he
overtakes her on the cliff and slavers
at the mouth like an animal must be
eliminated. This is absolutely offensive
to the moral sense.
Elm the mob scene towards the end
just before the XXX. arrive. Negroes
are shown grabbing up white women,
fondling and kissing them. This part
must be cut out.
THE struggle scenes between
Lynch and Miss Stoneman are too
frequently flashed. and in too much
detail. They should be pruned and
shortened.
Please be advised that we are suggest
ing changes Nos. L, 3, 4, and as in our
judgment necessary to make the picture
less offensive on all sides; but that
changes 2. 5, and are mandatory as
far as this board is concerned.
Other than the items above mentioned
we have no objection to the picture.
though we do believe good deal of it
to be in somewhat questionable taste. |
You will see that the provisions of the |
communication from the censor board |
are coupled with.
d. A. WHITE, Chief of Police.
We give credit to the Welfare
League for its efforts, and the
method pursued, but regret that
they were not more successful.
Changes Nos. 2, S, and s. which
were Objectionable to the whites,
were taken out but Nos. I, 8, a
aud 7, which were suggested to be
stricken out as being offences to us,
were not disturbed. The moral is
plain.
The suit of E. J. Speede, secre-
tary Non-Partisan League, with
Attorney Mash acting for plaintiff,
in which damages were claimed on
account of the production Of " The
and All injunction was
asked for, came up in Judge Gro
Tiers court on Wednesday. The
same was denied, but ten days was
granted for an amended complaint
