We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

THE TABOOS (d) Methods of smuggling should not be presented. (3) Neither the illegal drug traffic nor drug addiction must ever be presented. (4) The use of liquor in American life, when not required by the plot or for proper characterisation, will not be shown. Sex The sanctity of the institution of marriage and the home shall be upheld. Pictures shall not infer that low forms of sex relationship are the accepted or common thing. (1) Adultery and illicit sex, sometimes necessary plot material, must not be explicitly treated, or justified, or presented attractively. (2) Scenes of passion. (a) These should not be introduced except where they are definitely essential to the plot. (b) Excessive and lustful kissing, lustful embraces, suggestive postures and gestures, are not to be shown. (c) In general, passion should be treated in such manner as not to stimulate the lower and baser emotions. (3) Seduction or rape. (a) These should never be more than suggested, and then only when essential for the plot. They must never be shown by explicit method. (b) They are never the proper subject of comedy. (4) Sex perversion or any inference of it is forbidden. (5) White slavery shall not be treated. Vulgarity The treatment of low, disgusting, unpleasant, though not necessarily evil subjects, should be guided always by the dictates of good taste and a proper regard for the sensibilities of the audience. 141
