BATTLE over
CENSORSHIP OF
'TALKIE' films
Movie Companies Challenge
Boards Right to Pass
on Spoken Words.
BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The
Supreme Court, returning here in
the autumn, will find Itself con-
fronted with perplexing problem
OF sort it has never had to deal
with before.
1t is this: When movies become
talkieS, can moving picture boards
of censorship censor things said on
The screen? And if not, who can,
if any one?
The question has arisen in Penn
sylvania. The State board of cen
sors attempted to pass on the pro-
priety of words spoken in the once
silent drama, and Vitagraph, Inc.
asked for an injunction to restrain
them. The injunction was denied
Frame High Court Appeal
The board proceeded to censor
words coming from the screen, and
Vitagraph proceeded to frame an
appeal to the Supreme Court.
The whole matter became more
complicated when a second Penn
sylvania judge, ruling on similar
case, handed down an entirely diff
ferent decision on the same issue.
Appealed to by the Fox Film
Corporation, Judge Harry S. Nc
Dewitt of Philadelphia declared
that censorship of language in a
talking movie has ian obvious at
tempt by the board of cenSors to
extend its jurisdiction beyond that
conferred by the State Legislature"
Sees Censor Danger
Judge McDevitt saw in the in
cident danger that censorship of
this sort would lead to a claim that
boards of censorship have a right
to pass on any words spoken in
connection with a movie, whether
actually uttered on the stage or
heard through mechanical devices.
From that, censorship of all drama
is an easy step.
Another possibility would be a
claim by censors of power to pass
upon words spoken by politicians
and other public figures in news
reels.

Joan Crawford, in the latter
role, by her efforts in this film
is being raised to dizzy heights
of stardom-and she deserves it
for a sterling performance never
bettered in a role of this kind.
Miss Crawford is great screen
material-the kind that is giving
the old guard such a terrific lam
basting at the box office. Another
youngster who does remarkably
well is Anita Page; particularly
in the last few scenes. Here Mr..
Beaumont's hand is strong.
John Mack Brown, Dorothy Sc
bastian, and Nils Asther are other
young people who make Our
Dancing Daughters" so remark
ably effective. And. there should
be a word concerning the mod
ernlstic interiors thoughtfully
utilized. AS atmosphere for this
particular picture they were a
happy thought.
Marion Harris and Leo Beers
step forward for some limelight in
a Movietone presentation of their
respective vocal talents.
Then. to round out the bill,
there is the Moyietone News,
M-G-M news, and a pretty color
short subject called Gold" The
Columbia orchestra obliges briefly.
