Name Address LAST THREE SCORES CLUB HANDICAP □ O □ n CLUB: Censorship Bills, Pro And Anti, in Louisiana New Orleans — Two bills, apparently intended to revive the dormant film censorship act in Louisiana and one to repeal it were reported here at the week-end to have been introduced to the Legislature at Baton Rouge. One bill, details of which were not available was said to change censorship rates, while another — House bill 796— amends the old act— No. 16 of the third extra session, 1935 — to place censoring under State Superintendent of Education. It provides for a three-men censor board, with a secretary, the board to be paid $5 each for each censor meeting plus 25 cents each for every reel reviewed. Board, to serve 6 year terms, will be domiciled in Baton Rouge while all exchanges are in New Orleans and censorship costs will be $4 a reel of thousand feet and $4 for each additional thousand feet or fraction. Revenues, after defraying costs of board will go to education department "for the purchase of visual aids to be used in the schools and colleges of the state." The bill to repeal censorship — House bill 577 — is said to be only a paragraph in length. John S. Cohen Dead Atlanta, Ga. — John S.

Current show opened Wednesday, and so will this week's, to run six days. Possible Monday opening is envisaged for the house by David M. Idzal, managing director. Adams Theater, playing similar product under a pooling agreement, also switched to Wednesday opening because of the Fox policy. The short "weeks" will give the Fox a chance to work off second rate film product with the major stage show bills, reserving better screen fare for the straight film weeks at the house, which alternates stage shows and straight pictures.
