Section Was Not Shown.

Mayor Keller prohibited further ex-
hibition of the film play 'Hypocrites
at the LaSalle theater wednesday
morning. This action was taken af-
ter members of the censors' commit
tee recently appointed by Mayor
Keller reconsidered their approval of
the photoplay, given last Monday
morning. 1t was alleged that the
theater management failed to exhibit
the entire film at the private perfOr-
nance given at that time, and the
portion which was left out is said to
have been the most Objectionable Of
the entire film.
L. O.. Manning. chairman of the mo-
ton picture committee, stated We'd
nesday morning that the film as shown
Tuesday anc Monday night was not
the same as when the committee was
given its private performance. 1t was
claimed by Manning that the figure
of Truth, portrayed by a nude WO-
man, was more plainly visible in the
section left out, and that the theme
of the Objectionable portion was not
above reproach.
Mrs. Alma o. Ware, Mrs. Retiring,
Mrs. II. l.. Greene and Mrs. +. /.

the picture after the private pefor-

all the film was not on display Monday
morning.
The portion of the picture To
which the committee objected" said
Mgr. Harry Lerner, was cut out not
because of its theme, but because the
nude figure was a trifle more prom
lnent than in other scenes. However,
after the board composed of repre-
sentative clubwOmen and members OF
the censorship committee unanimously
praised the picture and the delicacy
with which the role of Truth was
portrayed, we replaced the cEtOut, to
the approval of the thousands Of per

Of the city authorities that portion
would have been removed. We knew
