CENSOR’S OBJECTION

TO ROLE OF EDWARD VII. The British film censor has banned French film called "Entente Cordiale.’ dealing with lhe part played by Edward VII in the forming of the Entente. The censor’s ruling is that a representation of an English Monarch of such recent date cannot be permitted on the screen.

Edward VII is played by Victor Fran con, who was the king of a mythical country in the witty, rather improper and highly successful comedy, "Le Rois’ Amuse,” Gaby Morlay plays Queen Victoria.

“Entente Cordiale” was to have been shown at the Academy Cinema, Oxford

Street, but as a result of the censor’s ruling the print has been returned to France.

Another notable foreign film which recently came under the British censor’s ban, “Professor Mamlock," about the early Nazi persecution of Jews, has just been banned in France, after running for some weeks in Paris. In Mexico City, by way of contrast, school children have been instructed by the Public Education Department that they must see it.

A. third film to be banned in England is Dr. Richard Massingham’s “At the Third Stroke,” a one-reeler made for the G.P.O. Film Unit. Objections were raised to a bedroom scene and to the behaviour of a drunken man who comes home in the small hours. Dr. Massingham, whose “Tell Me If It Hurts” attracted so much attention, stated that he had shown his new film to a number of people, who agreed that there was nothing in it to give offence.
