the preliminary throes ot a campaign ,
gainst over-sexed drama.
Moralist who began the agitation
against over-emphasis of sex in mod
em plays are being backed up by
managers of provincial theatres, j
which means all theatres outside of:
London, who say their audiences'
like the old-fashioned article. In
which Tlrtue emerges triumphant, If
panting.
In launching the campaign, the
London public morality council, of .
which the bishop of London is chair-1
man, called a special meeting, and :
passed a resolution denouncing two j
of what Is regarded as the worst ex
amples of immoral plays, and calling
on the official censor, the Lord
Chamberlain, to suppress them.
Bain, Somerset Maughan's grim
story of the fall of a South Sea1
missionary, was one ot the plays.
The other was Fallen Angels.

Keel Coward, uses as a vehicle te!

like plays and resent the stage being
monopolized by the unpleasant char
acters of nnpleasant-minded play

tary of the public morality council,
explained to the United News.
"I have been a theatregoer all my
life. I like the theatre, and I should
like my children to learn to like it.
But I don't want them to like the
type of play that today is representa

"It may be true, as some people
say, that London's problem is sim

Is bad enough. We hope to clean up
the London stage sufficiently not to
feel, after attending one of Its plays,
that we could cleanse ourselves by
bathing In a sewer."
