The first prospective bride and groom have not been heard from definitely since they first agreed to také their vows in public tonight, but rumors reached the management that one or the other of them had changed their minds about having any wedding at all The telegram today was. so dis- heartening that Secretary Patrick and his colleagyes have just about decided to call the whole thing off. A wedding ceremony twithout any principals is not any sort of anat- traction to offer the food show patrons, they believe, and unless some elopers or the like pop up at the last minufe the crowds to- night will have to be satisfied with other special attractions ar- ranged. The management does not approve of fake weddings.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, January 17.— vinced that the best way to suppress *on- any objectionable motion picture is to ignore it and let it die a natural death rather than advertise it by ad- verse criticism, the National Better Films Conference, in session here, vesterday drafted an appeal to the New York State Legislature to sup- rort Gov. Alfred E. Smith's efforts to repeal the motion picture censorship law, and went on record as opposed to the Upshaw bill for a Federal screen censorship. Among the objections to censor- ship generally were that it is politi- cal in its nature; that it “presup- poses. that the American public, are willing to patronize an entertainment which is vicious in its tendencies and likely to corrupt their morals;” that it seeks to shift parental responsi- bility toward the child to the shoul- ders of political appointees, and that it _has spoiled many pictures which otherwise would have been good en- | tertainment and of educatipnal value. A plan for the orgapization of mo- tion picture study clubs throughout the country also was adopted. Mem- bers of these clubs would study vari- ous phases of moving pictures actord- ing to a course developed by the na- tional committee and, like the parent body, ignore objectionable films and encourage goed ones.
