Censors Are Beaten

Very often the movies are the
football Of politics, but occasion,
ally general public blows the
whistle and stops this practice OF
hooting the films for ulterior
purposes.
Such an instance Of an aroused
public opinion soaring the censors
has Just occurred in Ohio. For
some strange reason these cellu-
old autocrats barred "The Big
House." The 6ilmsy excuse for
prohibiting this splendid prison
movie was that it might injure
the morals Of children. The real
reason was that it's expose Of
0yercrowded conditions in jails
presented a picture that might
remind voters Of a recent out
break in the Columbus penitentN,
ary. That would have cost the
party in power votes-or so it
was apparently reasoned-and
the feature was barred from Ohio
screens. "a
Public resentment of this auto
cratic action became so strong
that the board was forced to re
verse itself. This explanatory
statement was issued with the or
der lifting the ban: "On account
Of what seems to be a statwide de
mand for this picture, the boarc
should take into consideration the
will of the people and release the
picture for showing" The appro
pirate action for the board woulC
seem to have been turning ir
designations as a frank admission
Of incompetence.

Comedian Going Up

A coming comedian, or I miss
nay guess, is this Billy Taylor in
Fred Stones "Ripples." He plays
the role Of a New York State
policeman in just about the way
I imagine Jack Oakie would play
It. His laugh method is quiet,
seldom relies on over-emphasis,
offers a significant but infectious
grin. leans a little to port as
though he had a stiff neck and
altogether delivers a good sized
bundle of chuckleS. Working
much with Dorothy and Paula
Stone he is just heavy enough on
the hoof to accentuate the grace
and charm of his girl partners.
Billy Taylor, right now, looks
to be on the threshold Of q real
Broadway career.

My, we have just been more than
cleaning up this week. We are real
pleased with the results, too. The
curtains were fixed over, everything
given a good overhauling, and
what is more, we are trying to
keep it that way all the time.
Among the recent visitors at the
studio are Miss Davis, Mrs. Ertl
and Marcella Bromenschenkel. We
are always glad to have visitors at
our studio, and are anxious to
have as many of you come as can.
Alcuin has one third of his book

that is doing pretty good, don't you,
too?
We put up new decorations for

some frisky squirrels riding on
some pumpkins that are running
away from something, what, we do
not know. Maybe the one that is
following it. Then we have a
whole border of grinning JACKIE

There will be no fight unless the

time was enjoyed in playing
games.
The Girl Scouts of Troop I had a
picnic Monday night in place of
their regular scout meeting. The
first two patrols marked a trail and
