After afweek of stormy protests to
congressman from every state, and a
week OF strenuous verbal battles be
tween the foremost moving picture
men of the country and representa-
.tives of various churches and reform
associations, a new bill for federal
censorship. Of the movies was intro
duced in the House by Representative
tTowner. The 9 bill, 1t is said, en-
bodies the identical suggestions that
have been made to the committee on
education by those who have fought.
the Hughes bill. It is the belief of
many congressman who are interest
ed in the measure, particularly SO
since the folks back home got busy,
and showed their interest by letters,
that the Objectionable Hughes bill
will be amended before 1t is reported
to the House, while other members of
the committee express doubts as to
its being reported at all. The objec.
ton to- the Hughes.Smith bill, as 1t
Is known, providing federal censor
ship Of all motion picture films, as 1t
is expressed in letters to the various
congressman, seems to be that CEN
sorship OF films is a state job, in which
the state can better supervise the
morals of the local communities than
can the national government. 1t is
freely admitted that the films have
become an educational factor which
a be best regulated and controlled
by the force of public sentiment
through the several communities and
states fortified by such legislative
machinery as may be necessary.

successful road show which has been
on the coast in the past two years,

received that Manager Bergner has
decided to make the Thursday con-
cert a regular feature The eight
