Corviultatlon freo Fee* renionablo F. E. SMITH. M. D. 347 Fifth Avenue N. ¥. CltT Opi>. Waldorf The British cen.~or has banned In- cidents in Victorian plays, accord- ing to a cable received here. The dispatch says: How much time must elapse be- f re the life of an English monarch becomes history and fair game for the dramatist? This point has been raised by the action of the Lord Chamberlain, who is also censor of the English stage, in refusing a license to a play dealing with incidents in the life of Queen Victoria when she was a youns bride. "We do not wish to cause any possible ofltense or pain to living people." is the official reason for banning the play. But the author ai^ producer say it contains noth- ing that has not been tqld in Creevy's Memoirs or **The Queen's Journal," and more recently In Lyt- ton Strachey's books, and within a few weeks the play will bo published in book form. The censor, however, Is adamant, and it is being whispered about that the royal family has a deep-seated objection to the characterization of their immediate ancestor in a stage play.
