Gueringer, 61, retired theatre executive, died April 20 at his residence in New Orleans following a brief illness. He had been retired since 1930. In 1905, in association with the late Herman Fichenberg, he opened a penny arcade in New Orleans which was the forerunner of the Fichenberg theatre, which he managed until 1917. That year, Mr. Gueringer and his partner merged their interests with the Saenger Amusement Company, with Mr. Gueringer becoming assistant general manager of the circuit. J. C. Nugent J. C. Nugent, 69, veteran stage and screen actor and playwright, died Monday in New York at the Lambs Club. He is the father of Elliott Nugent, stage and screen actor and director. Mr. Nugent first went to Hollywood in 1929 as 'an actor, author and director for MGM. Arthur O. Dillenback Funeral services were held Wednesday at Manhasset, L. I., New York, for Arthur O. Dillenback, 60, motion picture editor of Household magazine. He had been connected with the picture industry for a number of years. Legion of Decency Reviews Twelve New Productions The National Legion of Decency reviewed 12 new productions this week, approving all but one. In Class A-I, unobjectionable for general patronage, were: "San Demetrio, London," "That's My Man,'' "This Happy Breed," "Three on a Ticket," "West of Dodge City" and "Yankee Fakir." In Class A-II, unobjectionable for adults, were: "The Arnelo Affair,'' "Carnival of Sinners," "The Egg and I," "The Ghost Goes Wild'' and "Tarzan and the Huntress." "Fear in the Night" was placed in Class B, objectionable in part, because it "reflects the acceptability of suicide as a solution to human problems.'"' Memphis Cuts "Macomber", Bans "Destry", "Daltons" The Memphis Board of Censors Monday announced that "The Macomber Affair" would have to be cut severely before it could be shown in the city. The cuts were so numerous that Loew's Palace theatre announced that it had cancelled its booking of the feature rather than play the cut version. At the same time, it was learned that Memphis censors had completely banned the showing of "Destry Rides Again" and "When the Daltons Rode," which the Palace had planned to show as a double feature. Both pictures played Memphis several years ago, it was reported. Lloyd T. Binford, chairman of the Memphis Board of Censors, said of "The Macomber Affair": "It is with a feeling of regret that (the board) unanimously decided that 'The Macomber Affair' violates a city ordinance." 56 MOTION PICTURE HERALD, APRIL 26, 1947
