Il foresee much benefit to the Amer

from this practical fusion Of the coll
lege student with the practical! theater.
The theater as an institution is now well
established and has advanced TO a per-
fection OF technique which Is generally
satisfactory. The problem now is to
continue with the acquisition of lit
erary drama in view. ] can think OF no
better step than the gradual infiltration
OF the personnel OF American players
with the university trained men and
women. This is no reflection on present
standards, it is simply striving for bet

High Schools to
Hear Lectures on
Film Censorship p
Advocates and Opponents of
the New State Movie Law
to Be Heard.

New York is going TO learn lot
January and February. In the lecture
rooms OF many high schools the subject
will be discussed both by leading ad-
vocates and opponents Of legalized
screen control.
Through an arrangement between the
Board Of Education Of the city OF New
York and the National Association of
the Motion Picture Industry, William A.
Brady, president of the National Asso-
citation; u. w. Griffith and Paul Cronl-
lin, Aim exporter, will speak against
censorship in several high schools in
Brooklyn, Manhattan and The Bronx
between January IL and February 81.
AT each of these lectures there will be
shown model motion picture program
donated for this purpose by producer
members OF the National Association. 1t
is expected that these speakers will offer
arguments Of the ineffectiveness OF CEN
sorship and its menace to the industry,
as well as to the fundamental rights of
the public. The lectures Will not take
the form of debates.
Although the advocates OF censorship
will also speak under the auspices OF the
Board of Education, the dates to be as
signed them Will not conflict with the
appearance of the motion picture men.
Among the champions of censorship
who will seek to justify legalized screen
control are Mrs. Clarence Waterman,
Canon William S. Chase and Frederick
Boyd Stevenson, all of whom figured
in the campaign which resulted in the
enactment of a censorship law in New
York State. Joseph Levenson, secretary
OF the New York State Motion Picture
Commission. will be another speaker.
The double barreled discussion is the
outgrowth of a recent anticensorship
lecture by William A. Brady in the
American Museum OF Natural History
Ernest L. Crandall. director OF lectures
of the Board of Education. decided then
that the subject OF censorship was of
sufficient interest to warrant a series
of lectures in the high schools. but he
considered 1t only fair to have both sides
of the censorship controversy repre-
sented.
