JAPANESE PROTEST
AGAINST EXCLUSION

Toxic. = Foreign Minister Matsui
Wednesday asked and obtained as
sent of the prince regent to the for
warding of Japan's protest against
American enactment Of the immigra-
ton bill barring Japanese. The pro-
ceeding was extraordinary and is in
terpreted as indicating unusual i'm
portance was attached to the docu-
ment.
The protest was placed upon the
cables for transmission to Ambassa-
dor Hanihara, at Washington, short
ly after the foreign minister had left
the imperial palace. The ambassador
will deliver it to Secretary of State
Hughes.
Deep regret that the United States
has enacted the immigration bill, in
Guiding a clause barring Japanese,
is voiced in an official statement is
sued by the foreign office.
THE Japanese government remains
mistaken in their opposition to this
discriminatory legislation against
Japanese and they have instructed the
Japanese ambassador at Washington
to lodge a solemn protest with the
United States government on this oc-
casion," says the communique.

THEATERS
NEW MARY PICKFORD
IN HER LATEST FILM

During the first day of that Mary
Pickford's new picture, 'Rosita," her
latest United Artists Corporation
release coming next Sunday and
Monday to the D. & r. theater, was
in the making, this most-idealized
little cinema artistic spent the time
in jail.
But it was all in the script, the
first scene Of which required that
"Our Mary be imprisoned in a din
gy, dungeon cell. Ernst Lubitsch,
the director, turned the key and kept
her there from $3.50 in the morning
until $50 that evening, with brief
half hour out for lunch.
4 Those who see this feature when
it comes to the d. & R. theater, may
be surprised, however, to find that
the first scene of the picture does
not show the star behind the bars.
Even though this was the initial
shot to be taken it did not come
into the story until well along to-
ward the middle of the film. 1t hap
pened to be more convenient to make
the prison scene first, and at a mo-
ton picture studio scenes are shot in
their order to convenience rather
than in numerical order.
The new Pickford offering is said
to be the most pretentious of her
career. The story deals with the
adventures of little street singer
who has thrust upon her the love Of
a king. Miss Pickford is seen in a
very emotional role and rises. to
greater dramatic heights in this We
hicle than in anything she has ever
before attempted Those who view
''Rosita" will see a new Mary Pick
ford.

NEW YORK, May 29.-"The itch
for censorship is contagious mental
disease" said Thomas Dixon. author,
in an address to the American book
selling association.

on" Bald Mr. Dixon. ut spreads
from one nosey mind to another. A
censorship would be that Of group
of peanut politicians. 1t would not
be an intellectual or moral CENSOR
ship. 1t would be poliIica. II there
was a Democratic administration we
would have Democratic board
of eensors and If there was a Repub-
lican administration we would have a
Republican board of censors
"As an author l am opposed to a
pre-view censorship of pictures or Of
books. This power is absolutely un-
necessary in a free republic such as
this, because you already have the
machinery of censorship of pictures
and of books. Were l to write and
some one to publish a filthy story
would be fool, and the publisher
would be a fool, because the exploit
alton of filth never has succeeded in
books. And our common law cvers
the matter"
Mr.. Dixon said no man or woman

enough to hold the autocratic power
to place hands on the throat of an
author and say: you shall think

this morning about a small Christ

and located between the bedrooms
occupied by the President and Mrs.
Coolidge and young John, the west
living room afforded a more homely

Blue Room below.
With the Presidential group were
only Mr.. and Mrs. Frank w.

Soon after breakfast, the five
went to services at the First Con.
