their lives in the interest of Holly

Too strong spotlight makes even
actors and movie makers self-con-

there's also the income tax problem.
Mostly it's the latter.
Menjou's Dark Picture.
I only suspected that there is much
less big and unnecessary spending
than ever and a great deal less
showing off until I ran into Adolphe
Menjou the other day. He confirmed
my supposition that retrenchment
is getting an unaccustomed workout
among his fellows of the cinema and
that ostentation is definitely out of
order.
"And next year" moaned Mr.
Menjou. Il don't know what it will
be like"
His very tone of voice drew dark
picture. He shook his head sadly
His statement portended the passing

and attempt to settle industry prob

Of it, as these charges imply Is. in
deed. serious industry problem. as
it directly affects box Office receipts.
Censorship in Hollywood is deli
cate subject. No one likes to talk
about it, and sometimes there even
is an ostrich attitude toward it. 1t
is not a matter producers will dis
cuss freely. since they feel that any
discussion will but lead to more

Hollywood said candidly that 1t
was not much worried because this
particular picture was put on the
&C" list, or that it cannot be played
in Providence. Similar action
against three other films was imme-
diately recalled. Yes, My Darling
Daughter" Strange Cargo" and
This Thing Called Love" were con-
demned by the legion The first
named also was banned by the New
York Censor Board. However, after
the pictures had been sent back to

were transferred from the legion's

executive said that the objection
could be overcome by inserting a
line showing that the husband
knows all along that the twin is
his wife masquerading.
Hays very likely will be told that
there is Just as strict adherence as
ever to the straightforward rules
of the production code for moral
guidance. He will be shown reports
that political censor boards are no
more, and perhaps a little less,
critical than they were four or five
years ago.
Percentages Vary.
Yet Archbishop John T. McNich-

Episcopal Committee of Motion Pic

exhorted every Catholic to renew

avoid movies found Objectionable

Horse Cemetery
rs Discovered Near
Custer Battlefield

A "horse cemetery" has been dis
covered at Custer Battlefield national
cemetery, Montana, according to the
national park service. The find was
made while minor repairs were being
undertaken in the battlefield area di-
rectly in rear of the location where
General Custer and his 81 men were
killed in the battle of the Little Big
Horn river, June IS, 1876.
In 1885, the remains Of soldiers who
had been buried in individual graves
on the scene Of battle we're exhumed.
At that time bones and skeletons of
their horses were buried at four diff
ferent points on the area. No record
was ever kept of these burials, but
it is believed that the "horse cemetery"
recently discovered contains the re-
mains of the horses of Custer and his
troopers. The horses were sacrificed
by their riders against the Indians
when Custer was making his last
stand.
