HOLLYWOOD.
Is Hollywood injecting need
less smut into its handling Of
such themes as sex and bru-
tality? Or is it that the movies
are simply becoming more
realistic and grown-up?
The powerful Roman Cath
olic Legion Of Decency has
blasted what it calls movie
material "gravely offensive to
the moral law" Similar senti-
ment is sounded in Protestant
church councils.
But the movie industry, as
reflected by its own Produc-
ton Code, maintains that the
recent relaxing of restrictions
was done with a keen ear to
public opinion. Some top in
dustry figures hold that the
movies are still too timid.
The Legion of Decency and
the Production Code are the
most powerful censorship
groups in the field, and an ex-
plosive crisis may result from
the divergence Of their views.
There are some indications
that a crisis has already ar
rived. For example:
Howard Hughes got Code
approval for son Of Sinbad"
while the Legion condemned
It, even after re-editing. Much
of the Legion's objection is di-
rected at the dancing Of Lili
st. Cyr, burlesque and night
club stripteaser.
The Legion's threatened
boycott caused a downtown
Los Angeles theater to cancel
the picture before a scheduled
June opening.
Legion Protested
Four recent pictures which
got Code okay we're recut after
Legion protests. They we're:
Battle Cry" Three For the
Show" kiss Me Deadly" and
The Prodigal," the latter
based on a Biblical parable.

The Kellys, whose happiness
is one of the few things Holly
wood takes for granted, and
with every reason, will be in
Europe this fall while mother

Among actresses everywhere.
the one with the greatest ad-
miration to bask in these days
Is Betsy Blair.
It couldn't happen to a nicer
girl.
As everyone knows, or
should know, it happened to
Miss Blair as the heroine in
Marty" the film which just
won the Cannes festival prize
for itself and the top acting
award for Miss Blair.
The experience has left her
sitting on top Of the world,
a delightful, dignified, and
astonished girl. Like the girl
she plays in Marty" Miss
Blair is not the aggressive
type. Unlike her. she is some
thing of the shyly pixilated
type.
Gene Is Amused
This, really, is the source of
her establishment. She finds
herself suddenly, and not re-
luctantly, involved in publicity.
She is not the only aStonished
one. So is her husband, Act
or or-Director-Dancer Gene Kel-
ly. And so are the members Of
the press who, if they have
been lucky enough to meet
Miss Blair in the past, have
done so socially instead of
professionally.
Gene, Miss Blair recalled at
a Colony luncheon the other
day. could not believe his eyes
when he came to Cannes re-
Gently to see his wife get her
prize. When, amused and as
tonished at one point, he
asked her how come she was
so bright-eyed about breakfast
with the mayor of Cannes,
with interviews and photog-
raphers, she had to think
twice.
"They asked me in French"
she laughed, proving that a
girl sounds wittier if she thinks
twice.
