 So they all have got a beef. They live herded together and they must get each others nerves.

Views Of The Press

a Farragut, from officers and men in all past wars and in today's stepped-up, mechanized methods of man destroying man, war has de manded and extorted words from which the Hays Office, in the full hllment of its duties, might wish to protect sensitive ears of motion picture audiences. But such words, one knows, will not be exclsed from the living and dying tongues of actors in wars fiery drama until a more powerful censorship than that of Hollywood removes the per- formance from a world stage.
