MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 8 (N.AN.A).—Every one knows that all moving pictures are sulject to censcr- ship, and that, therefore, producers must use great discretion in making films so as to avoid any trouble. Not there a national board of cen- sorship but individual States and co 1- tries have certain laws as to what may and what may not be shown on the screen, and these laws must be re- spected. It is natural enough to think o all this in connection with a Clara Bow or a John Gilbert picture. But Folly- wood’s “it” girl and romantic lover are not the only ones who have to lead & Mickey Mouse has his troubles, too. Bince his cartoons appe~r nearly every- where in the world, great care must be ken to see that he does nothing to the national dignity of any country. ‘Walt Disney, creator of Mickey Mouse cartoons, is very interesting on this subject. For fear of incurring the ire of any of these boards who pronounce on films, he sees to it that Mickey does not drink whisky, smoke cigarettes or cut any suggestive pranks on the screen. Yet, in spite of all this care, once in exception to a cow be- cause of a sort of costume it wore, and also objected to a fish in another car- toon that playfully slapped a mermaid with its fin. Even the inanimate objects that fur- nish a background for Mickey have to| be watched lest a Chic Sale influence peep in. But by far the funniest experience THE MERRICE. that Disney tells is the ruling of an austere 'man censorship board in re- gard to a fight that took place between an army of cats and mice. Here’s what the Fatherland thinks about it: “The wearing of German military helmets by an army of cats which op- pose a militia of mice is offensive to national dignity. Permission to exhibit this production in Germany is refused.” Should you see “300 Arizona cattle ponies, 12 camels, 50 mules and a group of beautiful aristocratic Arab horses” wandering through the wilderness near Yuma, Ariz., don't be alarmed. It's only Herbert Brenon and his com- pany, who are on location making “Beau Ideal,” the sequel to “Beau Geste.” And if you could have felt the heat of the Hollywood sunshine yesterday you might have a faint idea of what it's like on the desert and pity the company accordingly. Forever. At a local cafe Thursday seeing in Hollywood had not revealed & single movie star. Within earshot of her sat Victor McLaglen, dining with James Thomas; Margaret Livingstone and a friend and Irene Rich with a party. To cap the climax, Charlie Chaplin and four men walked out of the cafe, and as they passed I distinctly heard “Yes, Mr. Chaplin.” Now this may have been a coinci- lence.
