MANY vaudeville stars have been

pot of mixed races and multitudinous
nationalities. chiefly Jewish and

Fannie Brice was once a ragged

standing collection of funstars, the
.Ziegfeld Follies."
When Fannie was in her early
teens she had an Unsuitable ambition

She wanted to become an actress. not
of tragedy. not of opera. not of

musical shows and extravaganzas.
especially vaudeville, or variety. as 1t
was called in the days, and not so
long ago, when Fannie was budding
from the short skirts of girlhood.
In Fannie's case 1t was the urge OF
genius that kept her watching,

is to develop. if it is to become the
great power for moral and SOCIAL i'm

edly destined, there must be freedom
of expression left to those who are

to William De Mile. the Paramount

In an article on censorship in the
Los Angeles Times. Mr.. De Mile
wrote, in part, as follows:
cit has been reported to me that
one of the Ohio state censors said re-
Gently that she was going to give
the people of the state of Ohio not

Here, in a nutshell, is the evil and
Injustice of censorship, thoroughly
expressed by one of the censors
themselves.
Looking at the matter from my
own point of view, this censors state
ment means to me that my twenty
ave years of hard work, study and
effort to be artistic are to be calmly
put aside in order that some, one
with an autocratic, If inferior. brain

me and my audience.

of long years of effort l have never
written anything for publica ton. l
have never put any play upon the
stage and I have never put any pic
ture upon the screen which 1 am not
willing to stand behind and defend as
being an earnest effort to tell a good
story as beautifully as / could, and l
resent the discrimination which is be-
ing exercised against this new art
by subjecting it to restrictions to
which no other art is subjected.
TT seems that we have come, in
this country, to a point where we are
not content with legislating every
phase of morality; We are now start
ing to legislate matters of taste.
What will be left of individual lib
erty when this scheme of things is
completely worked out?-
"It is difficult for me, as an artist,
to understand that a kiss which lasts
for five seconds is immoral, but be-
comes moral when shortened to three
seconds, duration. 1t is difficult for
me to see how we are going to attack
the powers of evil when we are for
hidden to show the thing we \re at
tacking, and. in some states, even to
mention it.. I am one of those who
have never been able to see immor-
ality in the fact that a child is about
to be born, a. $50. ;
"The public is already protected by
laws in every, state which prevent
the exhibition of anything indecent
or immoral. These laws are wise and
necessary, but the great, evil of cen
sorship is that it is. not a matter OF
law, but a substitution of personal
opinion for law.
: "Under censorship immortality be-
comes whatever the censor chooses
to call immoral. and the artist has
no day in court in, which to defend
himself. The matter may not be sub
mitted to competent judge who
is easily capable of determining
whether given subject as presented
is or is not. immoral. The opinion OF
the censor becomes the law of the
country, and whether or not the
censor IL right pales into insfgnifi-
