1t Is Better
To Murder
Than to Slap
At Least That Is
What the Censor
Tells Director
HOLLYWOOD.


Rita Hayworth and Tyrone Power
are rounding out their more torrid
sequences in Blood and Sand" and
that keeps a call young fellow named
William Randol on the alert.
Randol is goth Century-Fox's
own private censor. He anticipates
what the Hays Office will rule out.
He knows what the various States
and nations won't tolerate on their
particular screens. A fellow like
Randol is pretty much okay from
a budget standpoint. He saves q
lot of unnecessary action and film
footage because when the Hays boys
throw out a hot scene or two that
means costly retakes.
Randol launders the dialogue,
passes on Rita's wardrobe, times
Tyrone's kisses and makes certain
Linda Darnell CTyrone's faithful
sweetie) always behaves in her
scenes as demure senorita would.
It's Too Brutal.
Randols ideas seldom alter
scene completely, but the other day
he was wrecking one from top to
bottom. Here's what happened:
Rita, a cold, hard siren, who
makes a game of man-Snatching,
tells Ty she is through with him.
She has already wrecked his life by
grabbing him away from Linda.
The script calls for Ty to slap Rita.
You mustn't do that" interrupts
Randol. Australia and Nova Scotia
would consider it brutality and
maybe New York and Ohio, too.
It's all right in comedy for a man
to slap a woman, provided she has
slapped him first, but you can't do
1t in serious scene"
Director Reuben Mamoulian looks
like some one just kicked him in the
pit Of the stomach.
"Try Poison."
What can we do, them" he final
ly managed to peep.
You can murder her. Poison her
or shoot her" offered the censor
man.
You mean to say that Ty can't
slap her, but he may kill her?"
asked Mamoulian.
That's right" said Randol. He
produced a copy of the morals code
to prove his point.
"Is there any law against Ty Civ
ing Rita a dirty look?" Mamoulian
pouts.
He is told that would be quite ac-
ceptable
So, instead of slapping Rita in the
face, Ty will simply stand there
and stab here with his eyes. And
Rita will recoil as though she had
been slapped.

Ann Miller lost an argument to

wanted to wear her usual black
stockings. Saltern demurred. In
the first place, she argued. the cos
tune was too skimpy to hang gar
tiers to. Also, she said, the Miller
legs were better stockingless. Stock
lngs are used to hide bulging mus
cles and AIMS don't bulge.

Ann gave in and danced without
stockings. When Ann saw herself

Brigham Young" Trotti drew on
his imagination when he wrote the
screen play of a story about a
Missouri woman outlaw known as
Belle Starr. Belle Starr" will be a
movie about a woman outlaw,
but
THE real Belle Starr probably was
a homely tobacco chewer. Our Belle
Starr is pretty, little spitflre
(played by Gene Tierney, who is
pretty and little). We had to have
her young and pretty to get in the
romance. We don't know why the
original Belle was an outlaw-may-
be she liked the work-and, frank
ly, we don't care for movie pur-
poses. Even if the facts were avail
able, which they aren't, we wouldn't
care.

Overshadowing the position of
Hays himself. Breen has been the
most powerful figure in HOLLYWOOD
Tor seven years.
In June, 1884, when the Legion of
Decency's morals cleanup campaign
was putting severe bite on movie
attendance throughout the country
a badly frightened industry offered
breen and revised code of morals
as an appeasement gesture to a con-
clave OF prelates of the Roman
Catholic Church in Cincinnati.
Hays promised in behalf of the
f1lm industry that salacious pictures,
scenes and dialogue would be weeded
out and gave Breen unlimited power
10 turn the trick. The legion agreed
to call of its drive and watch results.
Breen hurried back to Hollywood.
called in the heads of all studios and
literally laid down the law. His
efforts Immediately showed results.
Much to the astonishment of film
makers, the laundered type of pic
lures turned out under the Breen
administration proved much better
in quality and brought in greater
returns at the boxoff1ce. They also
attracted the attention of an entirely
new audience - the Juveniles.
Cautious mothers and fathers al
lowed their youngsters to go to the
movies.
Demanded Clean Films.
The custodianship of Breen was
practically 100 per cent effective-up
to about three years ago. Gradually,
since then, the code has grown more
elastic in spots. Certain violations
have crept in. Bitter arguments
ensued between Breen and many
producers as to what was and wasn't
proper to set forth on the screen.
Sometimes, in recent months, it is
believed, Breen did not always win
his points.
1t was not unusual for visitors to
the Hays office to hear voice shout
ing in the Breen suite:
You can't do that. If that goes
in, 1 60 out"
1t was the voice of big, deter
mined Joe Breen arguing for and
demanding clean, wholesome pic
lures, in keeping with the code he
had been ordered to enforce.
When Breen quit Thursday, none
of his associates was aware of the
breach.
Gust Punch Drunk"
Even Y. Frank Freeman, presi-
dent of the producers association
and head of Paramount studio, re-
fused to believe the news when
asked for statement on behalf of
the Hollywood Hays group. Like
wise, the heads of all other studios
professed to be in the dark.
I'm punch drunk, that's all"
Breen said I've been on this job
seven years and it's time I took a
rest. I'd like to get acquainted with
my family. You can't do that when
you work five or six nights a week
Breen denied that friction over
code enforcement had anything to
do with his quitting.
Everybody has been very nice
to me-" he said. so nice that it's
almost embarrassing"
However, a former associate of
Breen's declared the censor's rela-
tionship with certain studios has
been far from jolly and he has been
trying to get away from 1t all" for
more than a year. His past resig-
nations, forwarded to Hays, in ev-
cry previous case have been patched
up.
