February, 1926 AMERICAN CINEM ATOGR APHHR Twenty-three (Continued from Page 4) "The best of all," Roos continued, "was accorded me in Sydney, Australia. I .was making a shot in the Domain and took, my camera over to the gate to set up away from the crowd. A chap on the other side of the gate had one of those tin-type, quick-finish cameras all ready for business. He watched me draw out the tripod legs and then yelled: 'Kre now, 'op it. I've 'ad this plice for a long time and this is my plice. Now 'op it!' Talk of American newsboys and how they guard their 'corners' — I ' 'opped.'

Although Governor Smith has named a person to succeed Mr. Cobb, he let it be known that he is firmly convinced that censorship should go and that he was still standing on the same policy of years past in declaring that motion picture censorship was absolutely unnecessary.
