Chicago, May 81 (By mail
years of motion picture censorship
Chicago have resulted in the elims
ton of hundreds of thousands of
from films shown to more than 4
900 person sdaily, according to N
M. c. Funkhouser, second deputy
perintendent of police, who revid1
the problems he had encountere;
"moral censor" of the second lar
city in the United States, wher
defended the ordinances under w
he operates from the recent alta
According to Major Funkhouser
board of twelve censors, the n
bers of which are selected by
service, and which sits in jungn {
on the picturese, has little or no
cretion in ordering "cut-outs" or
fusing to issue permits, as t
merely adhere to city ordinances,
the state law which prohibits hans
scenes. The ordinances, among O. ]
things prohibit the showing of
lures immoral, obscene or which
tray riotous, disorderly or other i
lawful scenes which have a tendenc
to disturb the public peace.
Within the last year 1854 motto
pictures were inspected by the censc
and his aides, and out Of this numbe
only 153 were rejected in their el
tirety, Major Funkhouser ASSERTED
The average film is approximate
1000 feet in length and the tot;
number of feet rejected by the censc
last wear was 216,556.
The cost of maintaining the Gel
soring department is more than pal
for by the permits issued to the pre-
ducers, which cost $1.00 each. Las
year 29,697 permits were issued. Tf
twelve censors draw salaries rangin
from S120 to S135 a month.
"The trouble wit hthe motion pit
ture producers of TODAY is that frol
% to 40 per cent of the pictures pr'
duced deal with sex, the eternal tr
angle. affinity and white slave prol
lems," Major Funkhouser declare
GAS approximately 80 per cent of II
motion picture audiences are compose
of women and children, especially chi
dren, in theatres, outside of the down
town district, and as children ofte
obtain their ideas of morality from til
pictulese, close guard is necessar
to see that the pictures do not conve
erroneous ideas"
Within year the city was mao
defendant in twelve suits by motto
picture concerns, Major Funkhouse
said. The courts, both state and fec
eral, have declared the city ordinant
constitutional, and out of seven case
tried the city has won six The sevent
was lost on technicality. the NOR;
censor explained. Five suits are penC
ing.
Two kinds of permits are granite
the producers. one being called tn
"white" permit and the other tn

Major Funkhouser explained, was fo
adults only. In these pictures som
sex problems and scenes are permit
