WEDDING HELD LEGAL
Court Refuses to Upset Marriage
of James Mcdonald, Sd, After
Elopement.

BY the Associated Press.
REDWOOD CITY, Calf, March II.
The marriage of James Mcdonald,
Sd, of Hillsborough, heir to Standard
Oil fortune, and Alicia Breeze Nc
Donald, after an elopement to Ne
vada June z, 1882. was held legal to-
day by Superior Judge Franklin
Swart.
Judge Swart's decision sustained a
demurrer brought by Harold Caul-
field, attorney for the young wife. to
annulment proceedings instituted by
McDcnalds mother, Mrs. Beulah
Martin, Hillsborough society leader.
Mrs. Martin had contended the
marriage at Elko, New, when her son
was 18 and Alicia Is, occurred with
out her consent and was therefore
illegal. Nevada law sanctions mar
riage of minors.
Whether the birth of child to
Mrs. Mcdonald in San Francisco last
week was an element in the decision
was rot disclosed.

Instructions to the producers in
the RKO Radio-Pictures studio to
forthwith eliminate the possibility
of offensive material in the films
made there have been issued by B.
B. Kanane, president of RKO Stu
dios, Inc.
Mr.. Kahane's letter of instruc-
ton follows:
you are aware Of the attacks
being made against the motion pic
ture industry because of indecen-
cies, smut, and other Objectionable
elements contained in certain pro-
auctions. Many of the attacks are
unwaranted and the attitude of
some of the critics is unreasonable
and unfair.
ION the other hand, the criti-
ciSms coming from certain religious
groups, prominent educators, the
Motion Picture Research Council,
Parent Teachers Associations and
other highly respected persons and
organiZationS-are, to a large eX-
tent, justifiable.
while our company has in good
faith attempted to keep its produc-
tons free from legitimate criticism,
a few of our pictures have been in
Guided among those criticised. 1t is
imperative that henceforth still
greater care be taken to avoid OBJ
iectionable themes and offensive
scenes and lines, and 1 expect all
producers on our lot to give me
their fullest cooperation.
The line of demarcation between
good and bad taste is not always
clear. All minds do not meet as
to what constitutes proper screen
material. Honest differences of
opinion may arise. But if we in
good faith observe the letter and
spirit of the production code, which
was prepared with great care sew
eral years ago, our productions will
be acceptable to the vast majority
of -manded film patrons every
where.
I'VE do not have to eliminate
sex situations from our pictures. If
we are to present honest dramas
of human emotions and experiences,
some scenes of sin and wrong-doing
necessarily must be depicted.
But there is no need and no
excuse whatever for productions
which scott at chastity and the
sanctity of marriage. present crimi-
nails and wrong-doers as heroes and

laciousness are injected deliberately
for the appeal they may have to
