MOVING PICTURES.
WORK OF THE CENSOR. Mr W. Joliffe, the moving picture censor, is* one of tho hardest-worked men in New Zealand. Tho Minister for Internal Affairs stated in Christchurch on Saturday that the censor was working long hours, and had put thr6ugh his hands 200,000 ft of film. Ho has completely condemned two films, and has ordered pieces to bo taken out of othor iilms.. All the films submitted to him have been imported by Wellington companies, which supply theatres in Christckurch, Dunedin and other southern centres. There is a slight trouble with tho Auckland theatres. It is understood that Auckland feels that it is entitled to a censor of its own, and the importers there have declined to submit their films to Mr Joliffe.
