Now "A Woman of Affairs" was no cheap movie, it was well-acted and contained as much restraint and dignity as the book; yet in Virginia a woman cannot lose her honour, or virginity, in the movies; although she may be losing it by the hour at the corner book store. In "Moulin Rouge" they eliminated a series of scenes showing bare-legged girls "as they indecently kick." Only a movie censor could tell when a kick is indecent. In "Homecoming" * the gentlemen of the South ordered : "Reduce to a five-foot flash a scene in which the hero 'stands with evident desire and looks towards Anna's room . . .' also reduce to a three-foot flash scene in which Anna lies in bed with cover restlessly thrown off and shows her desire for Karl by gestures and facial expressions." "Homecoming" was a beautiful and simple German movie based on a story of two comrades separated by the war. One comrade re * "Homecoming" was adapted from the novel "Carl and Anna." A dramatization of it is now being played by a Theatre Guild company in New York City. Not even John S. Sumner has spoken against the play. n
