Harold Lloyd Boasts Studio
Never Turned Out Picture
That Needed Gensorship
On Account Of Morals.
By LEICESTER WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent
' HOLLYWOOD. (UP) Censorship
Is a topic for fireside conversation
here. You can't get an expression
of opinion from many of the Indus
try's leading lights because of the
fear that executives will frown.
But there are three men. at least,
whose opinions are valuable Harold
Lloyd. Prank Craven and Jack Cun
ningham. It Is Lloyd's boast that no picture
ever left his cutting room that had
to feel the scissors of censorship for
moral reasons.
Craven has been America's fore
most author of clean comedy for 20
years.
Cunningham, In the 18 years he
has been writing for pictures, never
has written a scene that waa off
color. Said Lloyd:
"I am definitely opposed to 'po
litical' censorship If that Is what Is
meant by 'official' censorship. The
best censorship la that which comes
at the source the studio. Such cen
sorship can be compelled by a pub
lic which shuns the type of picture
that needs censoring. Producers
gauge their type of production by
box office popularity. That's why
we see so many 'cycles.' An aroused
public always Is the best system of
policing, and when pictures reach
the state that they have to be cen
sored. It can be done best by means
of box office boycott."
Said Craven:
"There are plenty of plays and pic
tures which are in good taste, but
the situation Is like that of one rot
ten apple In a barrel of good ones.
The bad pictures cauM a censorship
blight to attack the entire output
We do not need a rigid censorship
to correct the situation. Box office
demand continually Is correcting it,
"Decent pictures are the ones
which have made big money. Look
at the List: The Singing Pool, Pour
Horsemen. Ben Hur, Birth of a Na
tion, Cavalcade, The Covered Wagon,
and It Happened One Night. It Is a
matter of record that these pictures,
none of which had any hint of
smut, are the ones which have gross
ed from S3.S00.000 to $3,000,000 each.
They top the list for all time."
Said Cunningham:
"It Is inconceivable to me that the
straight-thinking public of American
antecedents and ancestry ever agreed
to censorship of any sort other than
that to be found In laws, existing
, from the foundation of the republic,
against Indecent public exhibitions
If these laws are not sufficient to
protect movie goers, legislatures rep
resenting the will of the people
should enact new ones.
"Censorship of an exofficio com
plexion usually feeds on what it cre
ates. I honestly believe there would
have been little need for the kind of
censorship now bothering producers
had there never been any boards of
oensora."
Craven's record bears out hie po
sition as a writer and actor of clean
plays. In the past 20 years he has
written, or rewritten, a play a year.
Cunningham wrote "The Covered
Wagon," which Craven cited as an
example of clean film fare. He has
written many other screen plays
filled with what he calls "an honest
exhibition of human emotions hon
est murder and honest sex." Lately
he's been writing lor W. C. Fields
"The Old Fashioned Way" Is one,
All three men, with a combined
experience of more than 80 years
catering to public entertainment
whim, are agreed that censorship be
gins at home.

BILLING 8, Mont. (UP) An obit
uary 120 million years old was read
here by Dr. Barnum Brown of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory.
Re-enacting the role of some myth
ical, snaggle-toothed, hairy-chested
eye witness, Dr. Brown described the
death struggles of a dozen or more
gigantic dinosaurs In a prehistoric
swamp near where the Big Horn
mountain now pierces Wyoming skies
Dr. Brown announced that the
American Museum-Sinclair dinosattr
expedition, which he heads, had un
covered four more sauropaids prehis
toric 40-foot lizards to add to the
eight previously unearthed near Grey-
bull, Wyo.
How Tey Met Death
The noted bone hunter described
how bis fossilized prey met death
eons ago.
WeW see a flat land, rich In vege-
tatlon and dotted by countless shat
tlow lakes, swamps and rivers. The
climate la troprcal. Pines, cycads
figs and bananas cover the uplands
Thick grass grows along the banks
and rank vegetation thrives.
"Now the actors come upon the
stage. Huge slab-sided creatures that
weigh 15 to 20 tons apiece and meas
ure nearly 60 feet. They have whip
like tails and long necks at the end
ends of which sit ridiculously small
heads. They float, swim and feed
in the water unhurriedly. They en
ter by the tens of thousands, hud
dling close together as reptiles do.
and filling every lagoon as far as the
eye can see.
Stage Setting Changed
"Now Mother Nature slowly changes
the stage setting. The lakes dry up
and the swamps vanish. The sauro-
poid dinosaurs become more and more
concentrated as they are pushed to
gether In huge herds.
"The sauropold dinosaurs are water
animals and the disappearance oi
water la the death sentence. They
cannot migrate because of their great
bulk. Some starve to death others
are stranded In the mire that fol
lows the receding water while oth
ers struggle to solid ground only to
be killed by the flesh-eating mon
sters that skulk around pools, and
live high, for a time, on the hapless
sauropolds.
"A clear-cut cross section of the
large scale drama is now being un
covered In Red Gulch Quarry. The
hill In which the skeletons rest once
was the bottom of a large lake which
shrank Into a tiny pond.
"It is perfectly evident that it is
the bottom of that pond we have
stumbled upon the very spot where
a dozen or more sauropolds made
their last and futile stand against
fate."
