Broadway Chatter

The reception of the film "Pin-

lanta, Ca, is eagerly awaited
throughout the country, for on
it depends the success of further
bookings. A spokesman for goth
Century Fox, the producer of the
movie was in very optimistic
mood when questioned about it.

and Deacon Lloyd 7. Binford for

censorship is deprivation of
freedom of expression without due
process of law, as required under
the 18th amendment.

THEATRICAL
DATA
Lost Boundaries"
Producer To Test
18th Amendment
BY DAVID j. BETHEA

HOLLYWOOD - (ATLAS) -
One of the broadcast aid most sig
nificant tests ever to be made Of
the constitutionality of state and
other governmental censorhip of
films is being prepared by former
Justice Samuel Rosenman on be-
half of Louis de Rochemont, film
producer of "Lost Boundaries"
and his corporation, and Film
Classic. The suit will be filed in
Atlanta Federal court within a
week, seeking an injunction
against Miss Christine Smith.
Georgia censor's interference with
the exhibition of the film, Lost
Boundaries.
The constitutionality of state
censorship of films has been test
ed only once before in the Supreme
Court. That was back in the silent
picture days. At that time, the
High Tribunal upheld the right of
states to censor, but according to
Judge Roseman, that was before
it had evolved the doctrine that
the 18th amendment protects basic
rights of freedom of expression.
There have been talks with the
Motion Picture Assn. of America,
and it is in complete cooperation
with Judge Rosenman in fighting
the case to the U. S. supreme court,
and may even join in sharing some
of the expense.
The suit, according to a spokes-
man of the Rosenman's firm,
Rosenman, Goldmark, Colin &
Kaye, will be directed against the
Atlanta censor, the board of trus-
tees of the Carnegie Library,
which supervises censorship in
Georgia, and may even involve
several other defendants.

firm assurance that God was on
their side. Bishop Latimer was
once rebuked by Henry 9Th and
ordered to apologize for some of
his remarks in a sermon. AS he
began to preach the following
Sunday, he audibly reminded him
self that he was speaking before
the King of England who could
take his life, but, further, that
he was ambassador of the King of
Kings and had orders to deliver
his message.
So John Knox declared, 81 am
in place where conscience bids
me speak the truth" and Luther
made his celebrated avowal:
Here | stand; | cannot otherwise;
God help me-"
Jeremiah faithfully delivered
his painful message. At the gate
of the temple, On the festival
day, at the royal palace, at the
gates of the city, or wherever he
could obtain the largest audience,
this faithful servant of duty de-
livered the condemnation of God
to his hearers. Those who were
entrusted with religion had prov
ed faithless and jeremiah quotes
God to them, ''the pastors are be-
come british and have not sought
the Lord"
The expedient and false proph-
cts received this message from
God through him, "the prophets
lie in my name; sent them not,
neither have | commanded them,
neither spake | unto Them"
Even Zedekiaf the king, re-
ceived a message from God in
all its frankness and condemna-
ton, unsoftened from the mouth
of this stern but sorrowing states
man, for when Zedekiah enquired
as to the approaching Babylonian
invasion, he was told of the pesti-
lence, sword, famine and captivity
that awaited his people. Then,
warned jeremiah, God had said:
Il myself will fight against you
with an outstretched hand and a
strong arm, even in anger and in
fury, and in great wrath"
Is it any wonder that such con-
demnation brought upon him the
enmity of those he assailed?
So, accusing him of being a
traitor to his people and a BIAS
phemer, just as Jesus was sub
sequently accused, the priests and
prophets arraigned him before the
people. Jeremiah's answer was
that he uttered the message of
God and he reiterated his call that
they repent and mend their ways
SO that Jehovah might relent.
But realizing that he was in their
power, he warned them that if
they put him to death, they would
bring innocent blood upon their
hands.
So earnest and impressive was
his defense that the verdict of
the princes and people was that
'this man is not worthy to die,
for he has spoken to us in the
name of the Lord our God" I'm
fortunately for Judah, however,
they did not believe this suffic-
iently to turn from their evil ways
and destruction came upon them.

Mississippians
In Chicago
By JESSE l.. MOMAN

Standing at the corner of 63rd
and Cottage we hailed Leo Woods
who was cruising by. Leo is a
former Jacksonian, and worked for
Paris Cleaners. Leo sends hello to
the many friends down home.
One Mans Opinion: We were
thinking of the Gladys Noel Bates
case for equalization Of teachers
salaries in Mississippi, and this
thought came to US, if the teach
ers themselves had shown the in
testinal fortitude to organize
united front to the proper author
tiles the chance to correct this
great injustice would stand far
better chances of being corrected.
To us, teachers are supposedly to
represent intelligence and that in
itself covers completely the field
of approach, methods of attack.
presentation of the problem or if
necessary the solution of the prob
lem. However with the Missis-
sippi teachers for countless years,
they have proven to be WEAK IN
THE KNEE. They have always
been afraid of their jobs. Just to
wear the white collar means so
much to so many people. We can
yn1 NH
bring the principals lunch, and
on many occasions refuse to give
the students their moral support
in controversial matters where the
principal or supervisor was in
volved, simply because they were
afraid to lose their JOBS.
Those of us who don't have the
education, are automatically rele-
gated to be Lackeys, in some in
stances, but never when we are
qualified. So many of the old
timers think they are indispens-
ible, but actually, they are only
RETARDING progress. They have
been feathering their NESTS for
many yaers, by being TOMS and
they have that complex that they
must do nothing but be yes men.
If some of these people lost their
jobs and their heads also, the only
actual loss involved would be that
the barber would lose that thirty
five cents for that hair cut. The
Bates are not on trial, but the
whole people. People everywhere
are FIGHTING to throw off the
yoke of injustice. So, we say
more power to the Bates, and give
US more of their kind.

And as you look upon your Dad
You see him commonplace and plain.

About the ties and hats wear;

OF GOD

MEMORY SELECTION: "Who
unto him that buildeth his house
by unrighteousness, and his cham
bers by injustice; that useth his
neighbours services without wages,
and giveth him not his hire. >
jeremiah %: Is.
Lesson Text: jeremiah /: $40,
1919; %: 1-3, 1914; 81: 15-17.
jeremiah was born at Anathoth,
a little town a few miles from
Jerusalem, not very far from the
birthplace of the prophet, Amos.
Early in life, jeremiah came to
Jerusalem where he was the ally
Of the Good King Josiah in his
various efforts to reform the peo-
pie of Judah.
Throughout the reign of the last
five kings of the nation, jeremiah
continued to preach the inevitable
judgment approaching his coun-
trymen for their sin and repudia-
ton of Jehovah, which eliminated
with the captivity of Jerusalem
and the captivity of great num-
Der who were carried to Babylon.
jeremiah remained in Judah for a
few years afterwards, then went
into Egypt, where tradition as
serts that he met a martyrs
death.
In the first chapter of the book,
jeremiah tells of the divine call
which he received and relates how
he sought TO avoid the duty of
preaching the destruction of his
people by demonstrating with the
Lord that he was not good
speaker.
In this respect he was like
Moses, who sought to avoid his
call to service by saying, 81. am
not eloquent" Other great lead
GERS of Israel had done likewise,
Saul, Joshua, Paul, Mark, etc. But
God knows the hearts and posi-
bilities of men and He refused to
accept Jeremiah's excuse, saying
to him that he should not be afraid
for Jehovah would be with him.
1t required great deal of cour-
age for jeremiah to accept and
carry out his mission, SO thank
less and unappreciated by those
he sought to save. The priests
and prophets of his day were cor
rupt and worldly minded. The
kings and rulers were devoid, for
the most part, of any serious re-
ligious acceptance of Jehovah, and
the people, as a whole, had been
drawn to the worship of various
idols and the neglect of their
spiritual well-being.
To these, Jeremiah was asked
to deliver a message of condem-
nation, punishment and sorrow,
which by its very nature was a
declaration that would array the
recipients against him, laying him
open to being called false
prophet and a traitor to his coun-
try.
( Regardless of this, unmindful
OF his own townspeople, who
sought to take his life, the treach-
cry of his own family, or the pun
ishment which Infatuated rulers
melted out to him, jeremiah perr
severed in delivering his unpop-
ular and rejected message. That
required high moral courage
rarely encountered in human be-
ings.
The same great need for cour-
age and frankness in religious
matters has been evidenced in
the lives of many great leaders,
whose words and actions show
that they were sustained by a
