Movie Censorship
Out In Ohio Case

An appellate court composed of
three judges has dealt the death
blow to the present movie CEN
sorship set-up in Ohio.
The judges reversed a ruling by
Franklin County Common Pleas
Judge Ralph Bartlett upholding
the legality of the practice. The
reversal and the ruling of uncon-
stitutionality by the Ohio Supreme
Court should settle the issue for
once and for all.
On December /, the Ohio Su-
preme Court ruled by a five to
two vote that any censorship made
by the Department of Education
was unlawful, in a suit brought
by R K o Radio Pictures, the In
dependent Theater Owners of
Ohio, and two private theater
owners. However, censorship could
not be declared unconstitutional
without at least a six-vote major
ity.
Judges sitting in the appellate
court were Charles w. Montgom-
cry, of the fifth district, and Lynn
B. Griffith and John c. Nichols of
the seventh district.
Mrs. Mark Hornbeck, of Lon
don, daughter of Judge Roscoe G
Hornbeck, has been a member of
the Censorship Board for many
wears

twenty-five Birth
Cases In County

While the State Department of
Health reported both record high
number of births and record low
death rate for Ohio in 1854, Mad
ison County reported % births and
131 deaths recorded for the year.
The low number of births re-
corded here is explained by the
modern methods of hospital care
for maternal cases. No doctor is
anxious to attend the mother with
out the facilities of the hospital.
The County Health office reports
that welfare cases also go to hos
pital, and the birth is recorded in
the actual county where it occurs.
Dr. Ralph E. Dwork, state health
director, said Ohio showed a ma
tural population increase of 139,-
900 last year. He said births total
ed 10000, which is a gain of A
percent over last year.
The death rate dropped six per-
cent in the year with a total of
$1,000 deaths in 1854.

Duronte Waits 80 Years
For Tune to Rate as Hit
By Bob Williams

If the song "One in a Mil
lion" becomes a hit. it will
prove again that patience is
one of the most important
things in the music business.
The tune was written by
Jimmy Durante almost 80
years ago. during which time
he has had three or four
lyricists attempt a lyric for it.
However. they always ap-
preached the subject with the
SchnoZ in mind.
Recently Durante turned it
over to Harry Harris, who gave
it a ballad treatment. Then
Durante gave a copy of it to
Liberace for the latter's ap-
pearance on Jimmy's TV show.
The famed pianist liked it
SO much that after the show
he scheduled it for an imme-
diate record session, for inclu-
sion in his next album for
Columbia.
Durante is working on the
other companies to record it
and may yet have a hit on his
hands.

sensational Is what Toseanini
manages to do with the or
chestra. An opera orchestrs
can sit on its hands and con-
tribute nothing to Q perform
ance but boredom. The NBC,
no opera orchestra at all. on
this occasion played a. II It's
fate hinged on the outcome OF
Verdi's rather absurd but
strongly elemental plot. One
doesn't doubt that at the time
the musicians had feelings very
much on this order. The sub
sequent demise Of this premier
. organization as an NBC enter
prise is aptly memorialized by
this recording.
For an instance Of instru-
mental eloquence. one may
turn to the start Of Act II,
where as portentous an orches-
trail prelude and as potent an
ensuing commentary take place
as any. almost, in all opera.
. Such eloquence did not all
come easily, either. George r.
Marek relates how Toscanini
caused the apparently simple
dance music Of Act III to be
played over and over until 1t
was suitably gentle to be the
background for Amelia and
Riccardo's poignant farewell.
Verdi obviously did not take
the trouble to devise a MASTER
full orchestral score in order to
have it shouted down or ig-
nored. Toscanini, in a typical
demonstration of his own
unique mastery. sees that it Is
paid it's full due.
Special Recording Devices
Victor is making q good
deal out Of the new sets being
what is labeled q new ortho-
phonic high fidelity record
ing" This has to do with the
fact that. in contrast with the
previous Toscanini operas,
the musicians union per-
mitted special recording mi
crophones at the broadcasts
apparently because this was
thought to be Toscanini's last
fling at opera; let us hope 1t
wasn't. The recording. aside
from the places where the bal
ance is slightly against the
voices, Is a most impressive
one technically.
There is a funny little noise
when Ulrica is singing the
word "affretatti' in her big
opening aria which I can't
explain, but I suppose the en-
gineers couldn't catch every
thing.
The memory I intend to file
away for reference, in connec-
ton with this recording, is Of
the then 86-year-old maestro.
at an all-orchestral rehearsal,
himself acting as a one-man
stand-in for the entire cast.
Toscanini singing "Eri tu" is
something YOU don't get in
the recording. 1t would be
historic if you did.
