The Berlin Council of State has accepted at a first hearing the new law on Cinematography, containing several measures for the protection of childhood. {Film Kurier Berlin. F. 15/39). It is stated that the new Censorship Decree in the State of Illinois has been rejected by the local Congress. {Exhibitors' Herald World Chicago. F. 18/89). A petition for the revision of the censorship will be presented to the compe•tent authorities. This will contain the request that persons of high artistic and scientific ability take part in the censor commission, and that there should be a far reaching change in the systems of censorship. (Times London. D. 18/90). A great Cinema is shortly to be opened in New York entirely devoted to -children! Educational and instructive films will be shown here. (Courier Cinematographique Paris. F. 3/100). It is not true that the orchestra musicians of New York have been badly hit by the talking film. Out of a total of sixteen thousand employees only 400 to 500 have been unemployed. (The Film Daily New York. F. 12/217). William de Mille states that the censorship, as actually exercised, is both harmful and useless to the cinema industry. The cinema must nowa-days be regarded as an art, and no form of art can be bound up in fanciful bonds. Police orders and rules ought to suffice to protect public morality. (Sound New York. F. 12/217). It appears that the increase in offences against morals in South Africa is causing anxiety, and this is largely attributed to the diffusion of immoral films. (Osservatore Romano Vatican City. F 33/34) Will the cinematographic film replace advertisement posters by degrees? The use of the film for publicity is dealt with in a highly interesting manner. (Kinotechni\ Berlin. F. 5/22). The British Government is greatly concerned about the education of children. The Special Commission of the London County Council recommends the County Council to create a special advisory Commission to study the advisability of a wide use of the film in childrens' education.
