Worshipers Throw Eggs At Pastor

DETROIT, (P)-An egg-throw- ing demonstration by parishoners of St. Michaels (Carpatho-Rus- sian) church, with their pastor as target, wound up in court today.
 The barrage of eggs met three uniformed policemen and the Rev. Fr. Constantine Klumatyki as the quartet was mounting the steps of the church yesterday.
 The officers arrested six men and 10 women on charges of dis turbing the peace They entered pleas of innocent before record CTS Judge John J. Mahen, who re- leased them under personal bonds of $500 each.
 Police said the incident devel- oped from demands of faction in the congregation which sought to have the pastor dismissed. The Rev. Klumatycki had obtained court order to prevent the dissi- dents from interfering with serv- ices, and the officers had accom- panied him to church to carry out the order.

Tugs Almost Went With Oklahoma

SEATTLE, (P)-An old tug boatmen's trick and piece of luck saved two Seattle tugs and their crew when the weary old battlewagon Oklahoma sank sud- denly in mid-Pacific II days ago.
 The shippers of the Hercules and Monarch, which were towing the battleship from Honolulu to the Mainland, told on their arrival here of the Oklahoma'S last mo- mentS, and of their tugs being "snatched" backwards at speeds of Is and 30 knots in a smother of spray.
 Seconds later, the electric tow ing brake gave, and the cable slipped off. But it had been close.

The Production Code, under which
American motion picture studios
voluntarily censor their own prod
uct, does not apply outside the
United States. Every major pro-
ducer, however, maintains special
facilities to see that his films con-
form to the various standards of
good taste prevailing in every
country where the pictures will be
shown.
A good example is Fiesta" !"
which Metr o-G oil dwy n-Mayer
filmed largely in Mexico. Bull
fighting figures prominently in the
story, but in the United States this
sport is never shown in entirety on
the screen. Blood-letting is also
frowned upon in other English
speaking nations, in Scandinavia
and in some other parts of Europe.
AS a result, the bullfighting scenes
in several versions of Fiesta" are
sharply curtailed. The American
version, for instance, shows little
more than the skill and grace of the
matador in lodging his horned ad-
versary. There are no picadors, and
the bull is not killed or even in
jured. The studio has followed
explicitly the instructions laid down
by the Motion Picture Association,
or Johnston Office, which admin
listers the production code.
However, moviegoers in many
countries, including Spain and the
Latin-American republics, will see
all phases of the bullf1ghts which
were filmed for "Fiesta," the studio
has announced. These scenes
feature four world famous mata-
dors-Escudero, Estudiante and Ca
lesero of Spain, and Briones Of
Mexico-and Is blooded fighting
bulls, all engaged expressly for the
picture.
The Production Code does not
specifically prohibit the showing OF
bullfghts. Nonetheless, it contains
one clause confining violence 10
the bounds of good taste, and an
other requiring consultation with
the Humane Society on any scene
which might be construed as cruelty
to animals.
Both these restrictions are
variable, and insofar as the United
States is concerned either would
eliminate bullf1ghting.

1t Isn't Only Barter
That Buys Tickets
To Barter Theater
By the Associated Press
NEW WORK

NEW YORK,
From Abingdon, Va, Robert Por-
terf1eld, leading exponent of the
drama below the Mason-Dixon Lirle.
informs us that no longer will a rag,
a bone or hank OF ham be ac-
cepted as admission to his highly
professional tributary theater.
Uncle Sam refuses to accept po-
tatoes or spinach for amusement
tax, is the way Bob put 1t, thereby
ending at his theater the depres-
sion-born and highly engaging idea
of trading bologna, say, for front
seat at play.
Now that the folks in Virginia
are able to support the provincial
dramatics handsomely, with a tidy
assist from their State government
in the form of an annual $4,000
grant, Porterfield wishes to dispel
few fallacies.
THE Barter Theater does not now
and never has been a playhouse to
which patrons are admitted on the
payment of produce" Bob empha-
sizes.
Back in the awful depression
days, when we founded the theater
in Abingdon, many persons could
not afford the price of tickets. SO
we inaugurated the practice of en-
couraging these to pay their way in
with produce or services. Thus was
born the name Barter Theater.'
Today very few bring produce to the
box Office, but the picturesque name
is retained"
Bob points out that the Barter
troupe is strictly a company gov
erned by regulations of Actors
Equity, the only such permanent
professional company in the South.
1t is composed mostly of players
with excellent Broadway records,
such as Carol McComas, Gordon
Somers, Alexander Ivo, Herbert Mel
son and Don Hart.
