Too Drastic Action

Ihe introduction of a bill in the New York state lepis-
iature TO ban all gang motion pictures seems altogether
loo drastic a measure at this time. 1t would mean. in
effect, that all pictures which show gangsters in action
could not be shown on the screen. The central theme of
the film would be ignored.
The intent, undoubtedly, is to prevent children and
retarded adults from seeing movies which will suggest a
life of crime. The intent is good. This might be accom-
pllshed by other methods, perhaps by not allowing chill
dren to see gang pictures. The retarded and easilv-swav-
ed adult would be another problem.
But the fact remains that there have been good gang
pictures. Any person who sees the current film in which
a gallant but tottering old Civil War veteran goes to the
stand, despite a threat of death, and testifies against
gunmen, cannot help but be inspir II to do the same thing
If the emergency arrives. And yet thai. is a gang picture.
The problem demands the pressure of common sense NOT
ruthless and unthinking censorship.
