Newspaper Page Text18 TIIE 3IOKXIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY. JULY 23. 191G. CENSORSHIP SAID TO SPOIL PICTURES Rules Which Must Be Followed . Are Blamed for "Sameness" That Patrons Dislike. CONTINUITY OFTEN UPSET Iublic Said to Be Ignorant of Re quirements of Board bat When Informed Seem Eager to As sist Theater Owners. Moving-picture theater managers say the people of Portland seem to be wel coming the chance to protest against the present method ,of censoring their motion pictures. Last night the com mittee In charge of the campaign for the repeal of the present ordinance and the substitution of an ordinance pro viding for an appeal to the courts, made a tour of the city's motion-picture theaters. They found the movie patrons eager to sign the petitions and to know more about the inside work ings of Portland's censorship. It has been . learned that until the beginning of the present campaign, the people generally have not been clearly informed upon the methods of the censor board that passes upon their pictures. Said one theater man: "The true significance of the slashing of films by the censor board cannot be gathered from the prosaic little report the secretary compiles each month, which means nothing to the public. But If for every cut ordered by the censor board the theater managers would show a blank piece of film on the screen preceded by "the caption, 'de leted by censors or swabbed over with black ink such as condemned news stories are in Russia, I can safely say that the people would rise in arms against this promiscuous slashing of their favorite amusement. "As it is, the movie patrons only sit and wonder when the action on the screen Is abruptly broken or when one scene closes with the characters in one room and the next scene opens with the same characters in a different room under different conditions, without tell ing how they got there. In such a case the connecting link between the two scene has often been eliminated by the censor board. "Home people complain that there is a 'sameness' about many pictures shown in Portland. If these people only knew that the censor board's viewers are compelled to follow 67 varieties of written guides in passing upon pic tures, and that when the guides are followed only the 'same old stuff can remain, they could place a lot of the blame for the 'sameness. ' The ordinance which the movie men .are petitioning the City Commissioners to pass contemplates doing away with any set guides by which pictures shall bo measured. It provides for a censor board of more than twice as many members as the present one and select ed in such a way as to be representa tive of the entire community, thereby precluding any possibility of placing the censorship of the people's pictures in the hands of any so-called reform element. It is contended that if there must be censorship of Portland's pic tures, an ordinance that puts them up 1o the good judgment of a representa tive board and provides for an appeal to the courts, if its judgment is deemed faulty, is fair to the film men and to the people. VISTA PROJECT DELAYED KINDS FOR HOUSE AT CROW.V rOIXT TVOT YET ' AVAILABLE. Headmaster 1 eon Arik M2,OOA From Count?- and Kinds M isnnderstand- Ing Elft. as to Mone-. Fvidnt misunderstanding of the terms of the appropriation of $12,000 nifie by the Multnomah County Com nii8ioner for the construction of Vista .House. May 17, ied lo the tabling for further consideration yesterday of the reriuest of Koadmaster J. B. Veon for the immediate transfer of 412.000 from I he general fund to .the road fund, that work niitht begin at once. The order of the Board of County Commissioners appropriating $12,000, provided that the money should come I l oin the road fund as far as possible, and that any deficiency would be made up from the general fund, but not that Ihe entire amount should come from the general fund of the county. Koadmaster Veon asserted in his communication to the Commissioners that he was ready to establish camps and start the construction of Vista House at Crown Point immediately. He urged quick action, maintaining that the construction work must be finished before Fall weather. "I would like the $12,000 you agreed to transfer from the general fund to the road fund for that purpose," writes Koadmaster Yeon. The Commissioners deny that this was the agreement. The contract for the Base Line ex tension retaining wall and arch yes terday was awarded, on the recom mendation of Koadmaster Yeon, by the Commissioners to the Palmer-Ellison Company. This company's bid was $7021.10. The highest bid was $11,326. I SODA FOUNTAIN now in new location, Mezzanine, Fifth Street. DO YOU READ ALL OUR TUESDAY ADS?
