Ideas and Movement.

Many years ago William James de-
monstrated what he called "ideo-mo-
tor activity. To put 1t less technically,
your body will tend to move in the di-
rection of the things you are think
ing about.
Here's the test. Clo3e your eyes stand
erect and point your hand directly
in front of you. Next think Of some
object to the right, or left Of you and
concentrate you. thoughts upon that
object. 1t will not be long before you
will unconsciously move your out
stretched arm in the direction Of the
object you are thinking about
The facts Of ideo-motor activity ac-
count for the interest that once was taken
in the old-fashioned mlnd-reading par
lor games. Moreover. most Of the So
called mind-readirg stunts are based
on these facts.
The serious aspects Of ideo-motor
activity constitute a psychological law:
We tend to do the things we think
about. II there Is such a thing as

BRITISH CENSOR
SEX FILMS

London - The first official list
of what kind of motion pictures
the British people cannot have has
been issued by the British Board
of Film Censors together with a
sharp warning, obviously directed
at Hollywood, that sex" films will
be dealt with more drastically
hereafter.
The boards annual report. Just
issued. revealed that "a films
were rejected as being unsuitable
for public exhibition in this coun-
try and 284 others altered last
year. In 1929 only seven films and
in 1880 only twelve were rejected.
No list of titles was issued. but 1t
is understood that no British
films were among those rejected
in 1881.
Films which deal with lust, or
the development of erotic pas
sions. are becoming more daring
and more numerous. according TO
the censors. They denounced the
tendency of certain producers who
ION every conceivable occasion
drag in scenes of undressing
bathroom scenes and the exhibit
ton OF feminine Undertaking."
Without specifying all of the
REASONS why the board took ex-
oeption to 284 films, the report
sets forth some Of the principle
objections. The. lowly laugh-pro-
voking Bronx Cheer" is included
In the category of Vulgar Noises"
Obnoxious references to the
Prince of Wales or references to
Birth Control were deleted and
likewise orgy scenes and riotous
debauchery.

GERMAN CRITICS,
OPEN ATTACK
ON u. S. FILMS
Poor Synchroniza tiOn
Blamed for Most OF
Trouble

Berlin. (UP)-The attempt to
synchronize American films with
German text for presentation has
brought another outburst from
critics, who declare that the re-
suits are invariably destruction
Of whatever artistic value the pic
ture contained.
The latest complaints have been
directed against a Germanized YER
sion Of Man Overheard. The syn
chronization was SO poor, the
critics declared, that part Of the
sense of the picture was lost en-
tirely, while the German text was
distorted in an effort to make it
conform to the lip movements Of
the English speaking actors, until,
as German, 1t became meaningless.
The, audience remained cold
through many of the most excit-
ing scenes, because they could not
follow the plot.
Bancroft Favored
George Bancroft as captain won
the approval Of the public despite:
the language difficulty.
German critics are becoming
more and more nationalistic, al
though the public despite the
language difficulty.
German critics are becoming
more and more nationalistic. al
though the public still patronizes
such American films as are adj
mitted under the quota. Comedies
are especially popular and the re-
cent showing of Buster Keaton's
Casanova drew well at the box Of
flee, despite its mediocrity. This
largely because of Keaton's' droll
Of German the few
times he was called upon to use 1t,
and because the supporting cast OF
Germans was good.
Critics Indifferent =
But even with Germans produc-
ing films in Hollywood, or Paris.
the German critics still are rather
to the American Offer
ings. Marlene Dietrich's latest,
X-27, was coldly received. while
Morocco failed to excite great In
terest.
The Germans preference for
German-made films Is easily ex-
planned. Outside of the difficulty
in synchronization,5 there is the
difference in customs of America
and Germany, which Is hard for a
German audience to follow
smoothly. Also, the use of slang,
or current phrases easily under
standable in America. forms a
translation barrier which Is hard
to overcome.
