CENSOR’S ULTIMATUM
TO FILM COMPANIES
LONDON, January 3
Mr Shortt-, chief censor, sent the following ultimatum to all film companies. British and Foreign, in the United Kingdom says the “Evening News.’’ “It has been regretfully noticed lately that- films produced, in which the development theme necessitates the continuous succession of grossly brutal and sordid scenes, are steadily increasing. Tn the case of sound films, the sounds accentuating the situations are nauseating to the listener. No modifications, however drastic, can suit such films to public exhibition. The Board therefore notifies the trade that no film will be certified whose theme, without any redeeming characteristic, depends upon intense brutality and the unrelieved sordiness of the scenes depicted.”
