Albert Bowen, 47 East South Temple St. Curbs on Censorship Measure Discussed Los Angeles — Ways and means of lessening the severity of the proposed censorship ordinance which would give the police commission authority to close any show, legit or screen, which it might consider indecent, were discussed by producer representatives, members of Hollywood’s three largest talent guilds and other interested parties at a meeting over which Norris J. Nelson, councilman for the Hollywood district, presided. The Screen Actors Guild already has gone on record as opposing passage of any such measure, on the ground it violates the right of free speech. The SAG contends the present censorship ordinance, providing for a trial by jury, could be made to work satisfactorily if properly enforced, and would give the producer or theatre operator an opportunity to defend himself. Under the proposed new legislation, however, police could step in and close any show arbitrarily. First drafted more than a year ago, the measure was tabled, only to be revived recently. Those connected with film production and exhibition have been assured, however, by proponents of the legislation that it is not directed toward theatres or producers working under the Hays office’s Production Code administration, but is aimed at “fly-by-night” stage impresarios presenting lewd and immoral productions.
