IT'S Hard To Be q Villain
In Censored Ohio

In Kansas they don't allow cigarette smok-
ing, not only in real life but even pictured on
the screen, and wherever it occurs those parts
have to be cut out. So if your hero or villain
happens to be smoking cigarette at the most
vital point of the film out goes that part, and
the action is left to take care of itself.
Also in Kansas and the Middle Western
States they don't like bathing girls, unless
very much enveloped. To tell the TRUTH they
don't really like them at all. You see, lots of
Middle Westerners have never seen bathing
beach at ALL and it certainly makes some diff
ference if you have been raised to be used to
abbreviated suits. Out there, where there are
no beaches, they don't quite see the reason for
them unless it is to vamp husbands.
In Kansas, too, they don't like narrow
skirts which pull up as a girl gets in and out
of an automobile. In fact, in some parts they
don't approve of fancy stockings at ALL They
really prefer cotton ones as being more moral
In Ontario they also have things down fine.
They ordered bewdered exhibitor to remove
a tobacco stain from comedians shirt front
AS shown on the film.
When in comedy billposter pasted up q
poodle behind lithograph portraying bur-
lesque queen, and the picture undulated after
the most approved Cairo fashion, thanks to
the struggles of the poodle to escape, certain
board of censors simply passed out-and also
passed up the film.
And also in a certain film of Eugene
O'Brien's the order went out: "Cut to brief
flashes his attempt to kiss girl in his apart
ments" Another film Caught it'' where the
girl stood against the light without wearing
shadowproof pettcoat. The Universal was
told to eliminate that part of "The White
Horseman" serial where Art Accord is dragged
on the ground by being tied to horses tail.
Reason: cruelty to animals(!)
Women may smoke in Paris, in New York
or in London--but not even on the screen in
many localities.
Sub-titles are pits for the unwary.
New-York tribune., 1921-08-07

great shrek without knowing why, and he
disappeared without any ones being the wiser
as to his destination.
1t was in Ohio, too, that Stevenson's i'm
mortal Treasure Island was objected to by
one censor, on the ground that it taught
children piracy.
One of Harold Lloyd's recent comedies
was deleted out West because in a certain
portion of it he was riding the bumpers like
tramp and he sagged in the middle, so that,
owing to the friction of the rails against the
seat of his trousers he struck fiery sparks
When the train stopped he sat down on a cake
Of ice, which promptly melted in a cloud of
steam. This was certainly not allowed to get
by outside of New York City.
A censor in Pennsylvania, struggling with
"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and
his ideas Of birth question, changed the
announcement Of the nurse: cit is boy"
to '"The boy is better" which must have
mystifed those of the audience who did not
know the baby had arrived.
Respect not only for religion and policemen
but even for state lawyers must be observed
in certain parts Of the West. The villain of
the film was an assistant district attorney.
DO you think that was allowed to get by? No!
A district attorney-even an assistant one
can do wrong. His description was
changed to read simply, GA prosperous attor-
ney."
In Manitoba at one time they objected to a
dog comedy called '"The Eternal Triangle'' on
the ground that it belittled love! The actors
were all dogs, and evidently the censor either
didn't like animals or had no sense of humor,
for he raised awful fuss and banished the
film, which had delighted audiences all over
the United States.

pie have been working to get, and now you
come here expecting to see something shock
ing which you can go home and tell your
friends about. Instead of that you are bored
to death. Serves you right. I'm good and glad
of it."
But that shows the spirit in which some
would-be reforners approach the movie
theaters. They hope they will be able to re-
port: "Oh, my dear, what is the world coming
to? What do you think I saw in the movie
I reviewed this morning at the--studios?"
Then follow the eagerly listened to shocking
details which lose nothing in the telling.
Of course, sometimes the producers do not
seem to realize the limitations Of the English
language-and a few other things. Such
titles "Berth Control (need one state
from a comedy?) "Tails VIM" "Who Is
Your Father?" and "The Mortgaged Wife"
might just as well be chauged-and they
were!

She barely lost the ticket and the shawll
Nine. Sables could hardly control her dis
appointment and Indignation Was if for this
that she had risen early and forsaken her
breakfast in bed? She patted two or three
yawns and exclaimed scornfully to the person
sitting next to her:
"Why-y-y, a little child could see this"
The person next to her, who happened to be
a young man in the employ of the company
and who had suffered from the film which he
was required to see, retorted, letting polite
ness go to the winds:
Eyes, and it's just the sort Of film you peo-

York or Paris. And what will fashionable
hte In Monte Carlo look like to the good folk
who don't believe in backless gowns or
gambling tables? How will they get around
that? Will they make specially posed pic
lures for certain localities, showing the great
roulette tables of the Casino with the wheel
taken out and all the ladies and gentlemen
playing dominoes? And will they make the
fashionable throng dress all over again in
high-necked gingham dresses and have the
walters serving buttermilk instead Of cham
pagne?
Virtue must be preserved
The censors who are going out to California
are Of the new school. They are the most
intelligent and broadminded of their profes-
sion They are men and women of education
who have travelled and have seen the world
Doubtless they will find some solution of the
widely varying standards of 'virtue" in this
land. But consider some Of the decisions of
the past from well-meaning censors-self-ap-
pointed and otherwise-who acted according
to their lights.
For Instance, the censors in Pennsylvania
insist that, no matter what reasons are con-
tanned In the plot, a prospective mother must
never be seen making baby clothes, nor must a
cradle be flashed on the screen, nor NAV there
be any reference in the titles to the fact that
the home will soon be crowded with the advent
Of third person. Nor must the husband be
urged to settle down because there's going to
be three Of US, dear!"-nor ANYTHING of the
SORT AS long as there is single child in
Pennsylvania who still believes in the storls
the grown-ups who frequent the movies will
have to pretend they do also!
New-York tribune., 1921-08-07
The Monstrous ln1propriety
OF Sucking Pigs

The censor board Of Pennsylvania has dis
tinguished itself in the past by squeamsh
attitude against motherhood, anyway, which
extended even to the animal kingdom In a
certain film the ending wassupposed to show
peace, contentment and general wel-being-
the back-to-the-farm stuff you know. First, it
showed a dear little wooy calf standing in
field of clover nursing it's mother, then some
cooing doves, next litter of wee piggies suck
ling their proud mamma. Right there the CEN
sors deleted the whole scene.
It was about that time that the statue Of a
politician was taken away from in front of
public building by means Of derrick and q
rope placed around the neck of the work of
art news reel played up the scene among
the gossip of the day, and, to the amazement
of everybody, the censors ordered the scene
cut out, on the ground that it was gruesome
as we'll disrespectful to the politician in
question!
for a scene where policeman kisses nurse.
This is hard on slapstick comedies, but re-
spect for the law--or is it the nurse?-must
be maintained.
OF course in many states in the Union they
object to any reference to drugs. No one must
have been taker of drugs in the past and,
Of course, one must be indulging in the
present, nor must there be any future inten-
tion Of using it.
story is told about certain company
which had on its hands film showing the
evils of dope. A moral film it was, but the
censors were undecided about letting it pass,
the more suspicious element among them be-
ing doubtful about the amount of benefit a
depraved mind could extract out of this sup
posed screen sermon. The producing company
was in despair until the master brain of the
organization thought of slver-tongued
Bradway actor, at that time out of job, and
employed him to make a speech to the censors
about the good this film might dc. That he
was himself dope fend did not worry the
movie people in the least. They knew he would
make more brilliant speech after be had

HER SINGING INCREASED
OUTPUT OF WORKSHOP

That music "speeds' production in
factory and workshop is again attest
ed--this time by Selma Kurz, known
thruout Europe as leading colora-
for her achievement at the Vienna
Opera House, of which for many
years she has been the pride. who
now is on tour of the United States
Mmc. kurz somewhat wistfully ad-
mitted upon her arrival in New York
that her destiny in her Girlhood days
seemed to lead to nothing moro hope
full than the life of a sea.mstress.
My parents were poor" said Mme.
kurz. and my needlework was neces-
sary to help keep our family Of elev-
en- children together. My father was
an am mbrella mender in the little town
of Bieliza. Poland. AS l was skilful
with the needle, 1 devoted most of
my timo to needlework. Perhaps it
was that which made me want to sing
to break the tedium of the work.
"In the factory where / used to
work l. often burst into song almost
unconsciously. Sometimes / did not
realize what I was doing until the
forewoman would touch mo on tho
shoulder and give me this gentle rep
rimand:
"'You should not sing so slowly.
because the other girls are listening
and IL makes them work slowly, too.
You should sing q lively melody, so
that they will stitch with moro
speed"
While singing she went about
her duties at home one day the girls
voice attracted the attention of two
boy playmates of her brother Mano,
now resident of San Francisco.
They told the cantor of the synagogue
in Bieliza about the wonderful voice
thay had heard, and on seeking her
out and hearing her sing he was
equally impressed. He interceded in
her behalf with a wealthy Polish
family. who agreed to provide for her
musical education. When she ap-
pesred in Vienna in the title role OF
Thomas's "Mignon' her success was
immediate.

In fact the or era was such q success
both from financial and artistic stand
point that our citizens are anxiously
awaiting the announcement of the ar
rival of another performance Of this
kind The house was sold out entirely,
it being necessary to add n goodly
number of folding chairs in order to
accommodate the people who came to
witness this high class attraction. Not
only were people of the city and ada.

from other owns within radious of

all those in crested in the success OF
southern Nebraska's biggest and best
show house are highly elated over the
success of this orera.
The costuming, stage settings aud
scenery equalled anything seen in the
cities. The music 10y their own orches
ira was worth the price of admission.
The caste of characters contained
such noted artists as Albert Parr as

and George Olsen, his ward. The
parts of the outlaws were taken by

worthy of note.
The management of the Auditorium
is receiving many compliments and ex.
pressions Of appreciation from those
who witnessed the play, and it Is TO be
hoped that many more attractions of
this kind may be booked in the future.
