CLEAN OWN HOUSE STAGE DECIDES Threat of Political Censorship : Responsible New York, Aug. 26 - The theater having watched with mixed emo- tions turning gradually to alarm the efforts of practically every moral agency hereabouts to purge the stage of certain impurities, has decided to do its own housecleaning. The general idea is not new. But actual results from this or any other clean-up program would be definite- 1y unique. Consider the present sit- uation: Earl Carroll's “Vanities,” pro- nounced inexcusably smutty by crit- ics, and raided by police as an in- decent performance, has passeg in- spection by a grand jury. And only a few hours after the absolution of Carroll and his undraped cuties, the Cathelic Theater Movement, led by Cardinal Hayes and supported by other religious bodies, returned a bit- ter indictment against the *“Vanities.” Likewise included under the ecclesi- | astical displeasure was “Lysistrgta,” | the rowdiest of rowdy adaptions from the old Greeks. Actors Took Action Bishop William T. Manning and Rabbi Stephen Wise insisted that it was “quite within their power to demand that their congregations, should not go to such plays.” But| the abstinence of their flocks has made no difference at the box of-| fices. The “Vanities,” which is as dull | as it is dirty. would have had trouble surviving without police publicity. Now both shows are likely to run for months. But back of these vain attempts at stage-clean or perhaps be-| cause of them, lurks a real threat in the form of politic 11 censorship. | That is why A socia- | tion has planned a romu of self-reg- | ulatfon, according to Frank Gilmore, president. Gilmore considering | i said that F ¢ now is an amendm vid- | ing for establisRkment of citjzens’ play juries of five or spven members named by the American Arbi- on Association. In order that there could be no codification of| opinion concerning what is and is| not offensive, a new jury would be | sclected for the judgment of every new production “For professional reasons it for none other,”" continued the Equity president, “‘we are anxious to set up some workable system. We do notl want to say which line is salacious or which situation unpleasant, but only to aid in placing the theater un- | der representative control of the| public which supports it “Another thing: the stock com- panies of the nation are dependent| upon the New York theater for ma- terial. If productions here continue to be too sophisticated and risque for other cities, stock company man- agers will have nathing worth while to produce, and more actors will be out of work.” The p y plan first was tried in 1923 and 1924, with Equity. the Managers' Association, the Dramatic Guild and some 35 welfare and re-| ligious organizations participating. A panel of 400 jurors was drawn in th office of the district attornsy, from | which individual groups were named At a time when as “Ladies of [Under the Elm ere sending vice crusaders into hysterics, the clamor for legal cen- sorship was stilled by introduction | of the plan.
