pErRoyA ON CENSORSHIP"

The distinguished actress, Olga
petrova. who has been starred in both
stage and photoplay productions and
also has written both screen and stage
plays, appeared personally before
large audience at the Jewish Com
munity Center last night and gave an
interesting talk on Censorship
Nine Petrova was featured IN the
Lyceum course. in which most OF the
programs have been musical. She was
assisted by the George Washington
University String Quartet, local
ensemble, which gave pleasing rendi-
ton of the andante movement from
one of Schubert'S string quartetS.
Mime. Petrova's talk was illustrated
with colorful scenes from her newest
play, who Knows?" and the audience
enjoyed the unique pleasure of seeing
scenes which had been cut from the
public performances of the play by the
British censorS when 1t was first
planned to produce the work In Lon
don. The actress made all the differ
ent characters involved in turn, each
seeming true to life and Of easily
recognized types.
1t is the story Of woman who is
the daughter -in-law of a stern leader
of Purity League. and who has mar
ried a man who has never been any
thing to her but a distant companion
She falls in love with a sculptor who
urges her to return to the city with
him. She hesitates. but finally follows
him and is found In his apartment by
her husband. The latter has awakened
TO his own unfair neglect of his wife,
but his appeal for second chance Is
turned down. He and the sculptor
have a terrific fight while storm Is
raging outside. A fash Of lightning
kills both the men. Later the woman
turns to a sister who Is q spiritualiStic
medium and tries TO get a message from
her lover, who. before he died, vowed
he would come back to her. The sister
the woman's tense waiting It fails.
however and then the woman has a
vision OF her lover and his message.
and as she looks upon 1t she dies.
It seems that the play was censored
by the British on three grounds
blasphemy. due TO the espousing OF
special creed for dramatic uses: re-
Election on the organizations emblemized
in the Purity League and its characters.
and on the ground OF being bad in
fiuence for public morals. Finally.
after some discussion In American
papers, the British production was en-
tirelY Cancelled.
Mime. Petrova made q strong plea
that there should be no censorship OF
plays except by the public. She says:
"If people don't like play they are
perfectly free TO get up and walk out.
The poor drama is being crushed In SO
many ways II seems too much TO add
the burden Of censorship by few in
diYidualS."
