In .Section I are “Animal Farm” and “Smoke Signal.” In Section II are “The Good Die Young” and “Prince of Players.” In Class B are “The Americano,” because of “suggestive costuming, dancing and situations”; “Battle Cry,” because it “tends to condone immoral actions; suggestive dialogue, costuming and situations”; “Gang Busters,” because “methods of crime too minutely detailed”; “New York Confidential,” because of “low moral tone ; suggestive situations,” and “Women’s Prison,” because of “suggestive sequences ; tends to arouse disrespect for law and order.” Moe Kerman Holds 2-Day Tudor Sales Meeting Tudor Pictures franchise holders from this country and Canada met Friday and Saturday last week in the Hotel Warwick, New York, and discussed sales and advertising policies and disbursements.
