The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-07-10

Residents of Montana have n,
cause for complaint and if they visi
other portions of the country, par
ticularly the south, they would soo1
find out that they have confidence il
the state, said j. E. foreman, oil OPP,
orator, who returned to Great Falls
Sunday night, after a three months
trip to Louisiana, Texas, Kansas.
Mississippi, Kentucky and Wyoming.
"The general business conditions in
the south, especially in the oil in
dutry, Mr.. foreman, "and to get
back to Montana and see the grow
ing crops and business conditions
pointing to ward prosperity is ac-
tually a cure for the blues. Produc-
ton in most of the fields in the south,
is shut in, there is no demand for oil,
and as a consequence there is very
little development work going on.
"To give one an idea of how bad
conditions really are, IL wells in
which l am interested r shut down
in Oklahoma, and five refneries in the
same state are in the hands of a
receiver. These are not small refin-
cries but some of the largest in the
country.
''The surplus stocks of 1923 load
ed all storage facilities in the coun-
try, and the consumption this year
has not drawn sufficiently on the re-
serve to warrant any extensive drill
ing operations anywhere. Too much
competition in the larger fields has
also had a bad effect On the indus
try, and l do not look for a healthy
resumption of business until several
of the larger operators get together
and agree on definite plans for de-
velopment work, refining and mar
keting.
'The reserve stocks will not be de-
pleted for at least two months and by
that time oil men believe the indus
try will come into its own"
Mr.. foreman expects to remain in
Great Falls for a few days and then
where he has some interests. He
stated that most of his work for this
would be in Wyoming and Ok
lahoma but that he expected to visit
the north field several times.-Great

Jane Cowl on Censorship.

fn our definition OF beauty and art.
but after all that is mere QuibblinS
on the part of the self-styled ultra
modern artist who becomes facetious
and poses as a super -highbrow ami
says beauty is absolute freedom
Beauty may be freedom, but it is not
tcentiousness. and we must remem-
Der that there is, and probably al
ways will be, a standard of social
conventions against which a certain
ugly and immoral freedom should no.
stand.
AN absolute censorship is un-
doubtedly basically wrong, but many
of the Broadway managers are com
mitting q greater wrong when they
encourage the lowest Of human emo
tions and pander to the lowest level
OF intelligence instead of to the
highest
THE proof Of the need of at least
a limited censorship is seen after
plays leave New York. The salacious 8
plays that are often huge success
in New York city invariably fail oil
the road. Our American audiences
as n whole really do not enjoy the
seamy side of life, and IL isn't a very
fine or uplifting thought to feel tina.
our big city managers and actors try
to persuade them that they do by
first putting on the morally dsstruc-
take them on the road. AS most OF
our big productions originate IN and
around New York, the responsibility
appears to rest here, where our Grour
Of censors could easily be estab-
lished."

Mr.. Lasky declared that the tenn

Lasky, land in the future no picture
will be started until every item has
been estimated. During the brief
temporary closing of the Lasky stu
have been carefully going over the
scripts OF future productions. Each
OF these scenarios has been carefully
studied with a view to elimination of
all unnecessary expense; casts have
been carefully chosen, and more time
and study have been placed on every
step of production from the original
selection of material up - the final
approval before actual photography
I'm the formulation of this policy

support of directors and scenario

"TT has come again-the matter of
censorship--and more ferventIy
vehement than ever before" says
Jane CowI.
Several times recently l have been
asked by the prime movers in various
fields OF endeavor who have renewed
their anti-censorship campaign to
give my opinion on the vital question.
What I really think they want
from mo is not my opinion exactlyl
They want me to agree with them
that all censorship should not only
be lifted, but absolutely removed
from the arts.
This I cannot do, for honestly
feel that a reasonable censorship is
a very necessary thing. One does not
have to bend backward with Puritan
ical ideas. certainly would never
do that nor do I approve Of a too
rigid or a wholesale plan. A CEN
sofship OF mon and women Of intelli-
gence and ideas. who also are pro-
gressive, certainly would make an
barrier for certain Broadway per-
petrations.
''It is absurd to say that any kind
of censorship whatever would hinder
the advancement OF art, for it would
not. am all for progress, but I
certainly do not see any beneficial
results in salacious plays Of a certain
horrible type that have appeared on
Broadway from time to time in the
past few years. There were some
that ought to be wiped out of the
literary world-and certainly Off the
dramatic staHe-in which I fail to
see anything to warrant public
presentation.
Even as interesting vehicles for
very remarkable actors or actresses
I see no excuse for vulgar or crude
immortality. No, no matter how ver-
satile comedy actor. or dramatic
interprete a man may be, he need
not allow manager to give him an
ugly means Of portraying his ability.
IT know the old argument, that the
right group OF censors would be diff
cult to assemble, but this is not nee
essarily true. A standard Of person
mel could be found for censors just
as it has always been found for any
group of people-when needed--in
the right way, at the right time, and
In the right place.
THE anti-censors contend that con-
sorship will do two things: Hinder
the progress of art and crush out
beauty = the natural spontaneous
quality of beauty that comes from
complete freedom and lack of re-
straint. do not believe this, and
haye proved my belief IN my own
plays. In deleting offensive refer
ences I have always found the
beauty and continuity greatly en-
hanced

The Ten Commandments.

CECIL E. DE MILES Paramount
production, The Ten Command
ments," apparently pleases the re-
viewers in New York.
Some of the comments follow:
Times: 'It is probable that no NOR e
wonderful spectacle has ever been put
before the public. Nothing on the
films is SO. utterly impressive as the
laundering and belching forth of one
commandment after another, and the
tltling and photography of this par
ticular effect was remarkable"
Morning Telegraph: Cecil r. De
Mile has produced a great picture in
The Ten Commandments He welded
a tense modern drama to one Of the
most moving epics Of history
Herald: THE biblical prologue tells
with remarkable clarity and aight-
forwardness the story of the book of
Exodus. Mr.. De Mile and Miss Mac
pherson have built drama of the most
enthralling sort Mr.. De Mile has de-
vised his individual scenes with great
skill. We believe The Ten Com
mandments' will be popular-enor-
mously so,''
Evening Telegram: Here Is a su-
perb picture. The parting Of the Red
sea is an almost unbelievable achieve
ment, and yet Mr.. De Mile has real
ized it. The mad bachanals before
the calf Of gold are worthy of the
great Reinhardt. This nrst part is
surely the biggest achievement of the
cinema"
Sun-Globe: "Cecil b De Mile Il, a
graphic artist, working miracles Of
brave. conception and deft execution.
Not motion picture actors carefully
made UP, men and women across the
zacian fidelity. Photography at a
high level of excellence"

Evening World: "The years big

dertaking and the whole affair exudes

In natural color. and the grandeur OF

'Discovered'' Many Times

COLLEEN MOORE has probably been
- discovered" oftener than any one
else in pictures.
The motion picture potentialities of
this young star were first discovered
by d. w. Griffith when he was intro
duced to her about five years ago in a
Chicago newspaper office. where she was
visiting Der uncle, managing editor Of
the paper. Under Griffith's direction
she appeared in numerous roles OPP
posite the late Bobbie Harron, after
having first served a brief novitiate
in doing bits
Next Marshall Neilan discovered"
her and gave her many important
roles, including the part of the young
mother in "Dinty'' and the feminine
lead with John Barrymore in The
Lotus Eater" t-t
