210 ¥es, Mr. DeMitte The questioning turned to the role of Delilah, played by Hedy Lamarr. Q. Now, Miss Lamarr has been cast and featured in pictures quite foreign to the religious motif, hasn't she? A. Yes, I would think so. Q. Would you call her a seductive star? A. Seductive? Q. Yes. A. Delilah was a very seductive lady. Q. This is a story of seduction, isn't it? A. Story of seduction? It is a story of faith. Q. Well, is it a story of seduction? A. No, sir, it is not. Q. It is not? A. No, sir. Q. Samson and Delilah is not a story of seduction? A. No, sir, it is a story of triumph over seduction, it is a story of faith, of faith in God, of a man who, as I said, did not have vision until he was blinded, who yielded to the world of the flesh and the devil and in making his escape he was able to save his people Q.

She gives a very fine performance. Q* Are the pictures which you have got connected with your petition here, are they correct showing as to how she is garbed? A. Yes, sir, except that the breasts are bare in the one picture and we covered them. Q. Well, you had to get by the Board of Censors somehow, didn't you?
