MOVIE MANAGERS
ARE ORGANIZED TO
FIGHT CENSORSHIP
LOCAL EXHIBITORS, LED BY CON-
MISSIONER WILLIAM BRADLEY,
ASK SUPPORT IN CAMPAIGN TO
DEFEAT BILL

Ottawa movie houses, stirred into
activity by the recent agitation at
Springfield for statewide censor
ship bill are being organized to take
part in an active fight against the pro
liam Bradley, manager of the Cres-
cent, has been named chairman of the
local anti-censor organization, and he
will have as his lieutenants in the
fight Manager William Martin Of the
Orpheum, Manager John Mitchell OF
the Apollo and Manager Russell
Wright of the Gayety
The organization here has been al
ready perfected, and a persistent cam
paign, both among their patrons and
the citizenry in general is under way
to create sentiment against the prOpo-
sition to clamp a lid on Illinois movie
exhibitors and producers.
The censorship bill has already
passed in the senate, and is now be-
lOfe tHe lower mousse Tor acceptance
or rejection. If pressure enough can
be brought to bear by the state eX-
hibitors' association it means failure
will meet the bill when it gets into
the hands of the representatives
The charge is freely and openly
made that the censorship proposition
is merely an attempt to land some
body in a soft berth and a nice fat
salary, without accomplishing any of
the things the law is proposed to
stand for.
Local houses are issuing appeals by
slides each day asking their audiences
to line up against the censorship, and
are winning an abundance of support
TO their side Of the case.
