BEWARE
The continued and increasing high standard of excellence of British films is a fact which the British public is beginning to ac cept with pride and pleasure. So excellent have they become that Mr. Joseph I. Breen, President of the Motion Pictures Associa tion of America, recently arrived in London to tell the British film industry exactly how this excel. lence can enjoy better booking on the American cine-circuits. Mr. connected with the American film censorship, which had Shakespeare expurgated be fore Henry V could be shown to U.S. audiences (the word was bastard, and correctly used), took a few natural curses out of the sailors' mouths in Noel Coward's In Jihich We Serve, and has sa! far refused a permit to that vul- gar trifle The Wicked Lady be eause the women's dresses are too low and the dialogue too high for a—people who have gived the world a series of Sweater Girls and gangster films of unrivalled brutality. Mr. Breen is in London to define to British film makers those standards of purity which alone can achieve a certificate from the US film censorship. | But what can Mr. Breen tell us new about those standards at which we have marvelled and despaired so long? It is because we have ignored them that Bri- tain has at last achieved a film industry of her own worthy of respect and attention.
