Powers,
J., concurring. I agree with my brothers that the trial justice erred in applying a Rhode Island rather than a national standard and that having reached this conclusion it became incumbent on this court to make an independent judgment on a mixed question of law and fact. *618I further agree that the making of such judgment necessitated personal viewing of the movie in question by this court.
Robert J. McOsker, City Solicitor, Ronald H. Glantz, Deputy City Solicitor, Steven S. Saber, Special Counsel, for plaintiffs.
Abedon, Michaelson, Stanzler & Biener, Milton Stanzler, for defendants.
'However, I did not view the movie and am therefore in no position to either concur with the independent judgment of my brothers or can I, in these circumstances, make an independent judgment of my own.
Motion to reargue denied.
Roberts, C. J., did not participate.
