~ HEEE weeks ago an audience at
the Capitol Theater in San
Francisco staged an eXtrsordi-
4 nary protest against censor
ship. The cause of this Vo-
ciferous expression of opinion was the
appearance of a hevy OF stalwar'
Frisco cops at a performance Of the
play. The Captive" Not only did the
police appear. they even went SO far
as to stop the show figuratively and
literally.
The Captive" has had similar eX-
perienCeS on previous occasions. II en-
loyed enormous success in its native

producers Of the play in New York
were compelled 10 withdraw it, rather
than risk arrest and possible Jail sem
tence.
The play has been seen in other
American cities. where stock companies
have produced II and profited ma
terially thereby.
Although what is known as the
"thene" Of the play is not Of a highly
elevating order. the play itself has al

''The Captive" have always been COM
PEELED to admit that it is a MASTER

could possibly find anything harmful
