was convened at the Orpheum theater

ministers of Topeka churches, with
DR.. Charles M. Sheldon as chairman.
The censors were called by Manager
G. L. Hooper to view a special show

ture feature which in several other
cities has been under fire from the
pulpit because of the fact that it is
based upon a theme which shows
hypocrisy in a Christian church
Following the showing of Inside
the Cup this morning, the Topeka
pastors declared they could see no
reason why it should not be shown
here. One of the "censors" went so

the film was typical of the church in
Topeka there was all the more reason
for showing it here, but he declared
he believed it a theme well worth en-
phasizing and what is more, really
clean picture of the type of which
Topekans should see more.
Following the vote of approval of
the pastors Manager Hooper an
nounced that the film will be shown
to the public at the Isis theater with
