MONTPELIER
City May Have Board of Motion Picture
Censors.

Montpelier may have board OF mo
ton picture censors. There is nothing
definite about selecting such board
but the board of trade has the matter
under consideration because of objection
last week to a film, "The Lure which
was to have been shown in the Old
Comique theatre. AS soon as Manager
Harold Keegan was informed of objec-
tions in some quarters to the presenta,
ton of the motion play, he readily con-
scented not to show it and substituted
another film. Mr.. Keegan should be
given credit for his action in the matter,
and in order that his theatre may not
present pictures which are liable to call
forth criticism he has taken the matter
of board of ccnsors up with the secre-
tary of the local board of trade.
