Summary

The inadvisability of allowing the reproduction, on the cinematograph screen, of scenes which the generality of folk regard as far too sacred for exhibition. We plead for the abolition of license but for the preservation of rational liberty and latitude. Mr. G. A. Redford, has now been entrusted with the censorship of films. Already he proposes to prohibit films dealing with Biblical subjects, crime, compromising love situations, prize fights, dog fights, mixed bathing and burial scenes.
