Mysterious Censorship Bill Opposed by Theatrical Interests
Hartford February 27 Theatrical interests in the state oppose a bill before the Legislative Judiciary committee. The measure would create a three member board including a woman to regulate motion pictures and levy a film tax. Salaries would be 4500 dollars yearly. Critics say 13000 reels yearly would face the levy and existing laws cover obscene material. Rep Harold L Durant says the bill aims to increase state tax revenue and resembles New York’s censorship law.
