As a result most fares are higher, people prefer to stay home at night. The few cinema theatres which have resumed business are exhibit- ing old Chinese pictures in Mandorin dialogue, which are not popular with ad- the general public, despite low mission prices. American films no longer come to Canton. One reason is that distributors in Hongkong are not inclined to exhibit their pictures. while many foreign flims which are not yet approved by the Nanking Film Censorship Board cannot be exhibited here.
Several theatres are trying to have foreign films censored here, and to this end they are ready to buy a certain number of liberty bonds. Approval by the loent authorities of this make-shift is awaited.--Special
