22 MAE WEST KEEPS RAIDED SHOW OPEN . Injunction Holds Police at Bay While Lines of Play Are “Tamed.” By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, October 3.—Protected by a Supreme Court injunction return- able Friday, Mae West's police-raided play “Pleasure Man,” continues to show on Broadway in defiance of pelice, who arrested its cast of 61 after its premiere Monday. But police officials who viewed its| second New York performance last night | declared it. had been considerably | “tamed” by alterations. They were pre- | pared to arrest any one who stepped over the bounds of decency, but no ar-| rests were made. | The injunction restraining the police | from interfering with the play was ob- tained by Nathan Burkan, counsel for Miss West, author of the play, about an hour before the evening's per- formance. Prior to the performance, members) nations from members of the league | and others who are interested in the | of the cast were given letters from the | Actors’ Equity Association, advising | them not to appear in the production | except with the permission of the| courts. The association entered bail for all members of the cast after their ar- rests, but the letter asserted if the mem- | bers choose to ignore its advice it would “wash its hands of them and consider no further appecls for help.” Arraigned in West Side Police Court vesterday afternoon the players and Miss West were continued in $500 bail each for 2 hearing tomorrow afternoon. Miss West later denied the play either was_immoral or obscene. “The trouble is," she said. “some peo- ple seem te have the idea that if a play is written by Mae West, it must be a dirty play. I never wrote any dirt or filth. I have my own style of writing.” Miss West, who a few years ago played “baby vamp” parts in small- time vaudeville, faces a possible sentence of three vears, having been convicted of a similar offense last year when po- lice closed her play “Sex.” At that time she served a 10-day jail sentence. Members of the cast, if convicted, can be sentenced to at least 10 days and the theater padlocked for one year. - RECOMMENDS DISMISSAL OF ACCUSED EMPLOYE Commissioners Urged to Discharge Charles H.
