OPERATOR WRITES
ABOUT CENSORSHIP
Continued from page three)

Continued from page three)
while causing endless trouble to tn,
picture producers who make clean
| wholesome dramas.
The producer must feel the pulse Of
public taste and act accordingly, if he
expects to sell his product Censor
| ship is not the will of the twenty-five
millions of people who attend the pic
ture theatres daily in the United
! States, but the dictates of the disin-
| terested few who determine what the
many shall see. 1t is in many ways
similar to the principle of taxation
without representation" for it does
not represent the will of the regular
| theatre patron.
Since producers are dependent up
on public opinion in selecting the
type of pictures that will be most
popular with the American public,
censorship will interfere materially
with the existing high quality of the
average photoplay. No producer will
risk from 100000 to $250,000 in max
ing a picture of which he is In doubt
Of success because of the idiocyn-
circles of the numerous censors
throughout the country. The practical
operation of censorship is that no one
knows definitely what may be shown
on the screen. Censor board in one
community may approve a picture, or
a situation in a picture, that may be
violently condemned in another COM
munity A board of censors may re-
fuse to let certain picture be shown
and later, after change has occur
ed in the personnel of the board they
may allow the same picture to pass
without deleting a single scene. These
illustrative conditions have actually
occurred in many state censorship
boards.
While censorship may be intended
TO improve the quality of pictures, it
has a reverse action and throws a wet
blanket over the enthusiasm of the
producer, the distributor, and exhibit !
or. Good pictures. wholesome pic |
lures, instructive, progressive pic
lures are impossible while any man
or any group of men ID given the
autOcratic right to determine what
shall not be shown on the screen.
Obviously no one can progress uf~
der conditions such as these. The
history of censorship from the begin
ming of history to date has been
record of prevention, embarrassment
and stoppage Of progress. Art edu-
cation and social advance IL impos-
sible under censorship.
"Reformers" the country over have
the picture screen because
Of its popularity and because it hap
pens to be easily accessible. 1t is not
difficult to imagine that they will not
stop with the motion picture, but, in
Ill probability, will extend their acti
vities into every phase of life. How
ong will it be until board OF CEN
'ors will prescribe what we shall eat,
wear, read, and think? While at first
his may seem to be stretching the
lnalogy beyond reasonable limits, it I
S not improbable that it will eventu-
lily come to this.
There is some question as to wheth-

It is the opinion of many that a
theatre manager may take a catalogue
of available film sand select what he
chooses and discard the emainder.
This is a mistaken idea as often
theatre is compelled to book an en-
tire series of pictures in order TO Sc
cure a few choice subjects. 1t often
occurs that the film he wishes is not
available ON his open dates and he
is compelled to substitute another at
traction in it's place There are nu-
merous other situations that arise and
make it difficult for him to secure
ius+ what he wishes when he wishes
it. The law of supply and demand
plays a very potent part in the book
ing of film plays. Only a certain
amount of film NAV be available. |
This may contain scenes Objectionable
to the censors. Deleting scenes in
this film necessary to the continuity
of the story will not render the film
over satisfactory to anyone looking
for entertainment.

zens from sleeping; no sun
struck gents are weeping. but
people sing and smile Spitz-

comfort and OF ease! The cold
they cannot measure. for mer-
curry will freeze; amid those
wholesome rigors no voter ever
figures on flies or ants or CHG

OF that fair land I'm dreaming
when | to roost repair, the per-
spiration streaming from brow
and cheeks and hair; how |
would like to wander among
the icebergs yonder and see the
grounding ponder within. its
frozen lair! 1t seems a thing
surprising that all men do not
go where winds are always ris-
ing and there is always snow.
Why do we shilly-shally? Why
don't we straightway sally to
some far northern valley and
sit upon a foe? Spitzbergen
is inviting the weary to her
doors she beckons at this writ
ing. she beckons and implores !;
why are we here remaining,
where horrid heat is reigning !;
ch. why is no one straining to
reach her ice-bound shores?
The summer sun is blazing, the
sky's like polished zinc; and
heat. absurd. amazing, has put
us on the blink; and still the
days grow hotter, why don't we
weave and totter to where men
chop the water when they would

Street Sprinkling
May Be Extended

Mayor A. Y. Glover and Mr.. r. NJ.
Waters are anxious to see street
sprinkling more general in Columbus,
and with that end in view are DESTROYS
of having additional property owners
make application to the city council
to have the street sprinkling district
enlarged.
Under conditions as they exist at
present, the sprinkling district is
little too large for one truck and not
large enough for two. If the property
owners of sixty additional blocks will
come before the council and ask for
the sprinkling service, their request
will be granted and Mr., Waters will
purchase another truck.
The hot summer months will soon
be upon us, and the dust demon will
be working overtime. Money spent
to keep the dust demon down de-
eidedly is coin judiciously expended.

MISS PEGUES
IN RECITAL
Gives Brilliant Interpretation of Old
and Modern Composers.

Unusual interest conferred in the
piano recital given in the Music Hall
at M. S. c. W. on Friday evening by
Miss Rebecca Ann Pegues, post
graduate student of Miss Atwell. Miss
Pegues enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing received all Of her musical educa-
ion in the Mississippi State College
'or Women and for the pest six years
she has studied exclusively with Miss
Atwell.
The program for her post graduate
'ecital presented one interesting group
If compositions from the romantic and
modern schools. Schumann's delight
'ul "Papillous," with which the pro-
,ram opened, gave ample evidence of
Miss Pegues' technical skill and mu-
iical perception. Very sympathetic
vas her Interpretation of Cyril
SCOTS exquisite drowsy, strangely
harmonious Lotus Land" compost
ion that has won many admirers for
he modern school. Two other fascin-
ating modern compositions followed.
Then the program returned to the
romanticists, and in the "Gavotte" of
Cedar dand in the poetic loveliness of
List Italian sonnet, Miss Pegues
combined imagination with an I'M
derstanding of the spirit of the COM
posers.
Although her program was enjoy
able throughout, it was in the Aren-
ski Concerto that Miss Pegues was
most evidently at ease. She played
brilliantly, revealing all of the Rus
sian beauty of theme and magnifi-
cense of climax. In this number she
was splendidly supported by Miss At
well, who played the orchestral part on
the second piano.

POLICE CHIEF
HUNTS LIQUOR
Officers Get Tip ard Follow II But
Finds No Booze. tE

On Friday, Chief of Police Cook
was informed that certain parties
would receive supplies of liquor that
night to be sold Saturday and Sun
day. 1t was straight tip" and the
police chief decided that as the in
formation was on old offenders he
would follow it up.
With two members of his force,
Chief Cook instituted search. They
went into houses where the liquor was
supposed to be, and through the house
into the gardens where it might be
concealed. They searched diligently,
but not drop of cat could they find.
1t may be that the boot -leggers heard
the officers coming and concealed the
evidence by drinking it. A man can
be arrested for having liquor on his
person, but he is immune from deten-
ton for having it on his breath
The Chief of Police and the Mayor
are determined to put stop to the
sale Of liquor in Columbus, and will
leave no stone unturned to bring law
violators to justice. The common
talk on the street is, that cat whis-
key is being made in the county; that
the distillers telephone TO town when
they have, supply for sale, and that
the boot-leggers go to the country
and bring the booze to town at night
and conceal it, to be retailed later
at is long lane that has no turn"
Sooner or later the eagle eye of the
law will see, and the iron hand of
the law will seize, the violators of the
Eighteenth Amendment. When this
times comes, so our officers declare,
"the quality of mercy" will not come
into play. The full measure Of the
laws demands will be exacted Of the
offenders.
