Summary

London, Jan. 15 – It is stated that the Scotland Yard, authorities are energetically tracking down certain private film exhibitors who are carrying on an illicit trade in the West End of London. Any traveller knows the character of some of the films shown in low-class cinemas in some continental resorts. These films would have no possible chance of public exhibition in this country, but they are being smuggled into London from the continent, and are being shown in private premises. Men are taken to these private exhibitions by discreet touts, who pick the right patrons, and the charges for admission are very heavy, varying from two or three pounds to five or six.
