MATTHEWS, Chicago Representative, 167 Dearborn Street THE CIRCUIT OF REAL THEATRES The Polack Vaudeville Circuit Film Censorship Successful. New York, April 17. The Patents Company has issued the following bulletin: “The Board of Censorship keeps up its meritorious work two days a week at the offices of the Motion Picture Patents Company. “Almost a hundred thousand feet of films have been examined to date, and only four hundred and twenty feet have been pruned out. At the last meeting held on April 12, twenty- eight subjects were criticized and only ten feet censored. This fact shows that the manufacturers have fallen in line and are anxious to produce only pictures that are clean and whole¬ some. “As a matter of record, the nine licensed manufacturers even before the institution of the Censorship Board, turned out scarcely any offen¬ sive, the case being then as it is now, a simple one of demand and sup¬ ply- “As soon as the Censors cut out a bit of film, the manufacturers study the discarded portion, and make notes in order to prevent similar mis¬ takes in the future, and it is safe to say that just as soon as they are able to learn exactly what is desired there will be nothing but that kind pro¬ duced, and the Board of Censorship will go out of existence for lack of “At the rate the films are being examined and released, it will be but a short time when the supply of the entire country will be of the ‘ap¬ proved’ order, and the millions of people who patronize the motion pic¬ ture theater may do so without a fear of the slightest shock to the most delicate sensibilities.” E.
