Film Censorship in Japan

Illustrating something of the
practical application of censorship
in Japan, an article in the last num-
Der of the Educational Film Maya
zine contains the following:
IN a japanese picture show an
actor is not permitted to beat up
policeman. or hit him in the eye
with a custard pie or in any way
to discomfit or discredit him and his
dignity. The policeman always
comes out on top or else there is no
policeman in the reel.
Mary Pickford cannot kiss any
body excepting her husband in
Japanese picture houses. She might
possibly be permitted to kiss her
brother, but that would require
deep consideration on the part of
the police censors. There can be no
violent struggles or knife plays in
Japan.
And now it is desired to show the
young artist in his studio, the young
artist whose father is a prominent
banker. the young artist with bushy
hair and Robert Mantell eyes who
is making a Madonna portrait of
the little girl of the Hull House dis
trict, and who will surely marry the
little maiden as soon as she has
been heartbroken and they have
drifted apart. only to meet on a
battlefield, where he is a doughty
doughboy and she a wonderfully
gowned Red Cross girl. with the
shells bursting all around them.
They have gone over the top to-
gether, you know. and she wears
white so that the Germans may
know just where the American line
is and he wears a sport shirt and
carries Old Glory in one hand. while
he waves a rife in the other hand
and carries a trench knife in his
teeth.
"oh, 1t is a terrible strain on the
Japanese girls to have that man
wounded The Red Cross girl bends
over his bleeding form and - she
recognizes him! They start to en-
brace when the Japanese censor in
tervenes. The artist RECEIVERS and
they live happily ever after in a
$1,000, 900 California bungalow.
where so many other movie mates
have lived before them. But if the
young artist should be shown in
his studio gazing soulfully at his
Hull House model. the background
must first be divested of all nude
statues"

Anne Morrison, leading woman Of
the Garrick Players, has been es-
sentially a production woman"
but she did have a flyer in Milwau-

norous insight into some OF the
tribulations which stock actors
have to undergo.

hurry call to jump into the Mil

and supposed to become domestica-

eyes and kindred other playful
abuses.
About this time things began to

her lines with reference to the tele-

carried on a dialogue with the lead
ing man about his hat, which he
had neglected to bring on the stage.
but Miss Morrison was oblivious to
the fact and spoke her lines just as
though she held the hat In her hand.
This resulted in another fzzle.
Miss Morrison began crying. and
to cap the climax the stage mana
