Three were put in Class A, Section I, morally unobjectionable for general patronage ; four in Class A, Section II, as morally unobjectionable for adults; six in Class B, morally objectionable in part for all, and one in Class C, condemned. In Section I are: “Come Next Spring,” “Kettles in the Ozarks” and “World in My Corner.” In Section II are “Bottom of the Bottle,” “Miracle in the Rain,” “Parsifal” and “Postmark for Danger.” In Class B are: “Cash on Delivery” because it “reflects the acceptability of divorce”; “Hot Blood,” because of “suggestive costuming, dancing and situations”; “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” because of “light treatment of marriage” ; “The Last Hunt” because of “excessive brutality and suggestive situations”; “Picnic” because of “the unrestrained emphasis on lustful actions, dialogue and situations throughout,” and “Slightly Scarlet” because of “low moral tone, suggestive costuming, dialogue and situations.” In Class C was “Adorable Creatures” because it “condones immoral actions, and in treatment seriously offends Christian and traditional standards of morality and decency by reason of suggestive costuming, dialogue and situations, and presents material morally unsuitable for the entertainment of motion picture audiences.” Harry Colmer, Sr„ Dies LAKEWOOD, N.
