To the Quebec censors I was submitted a film version of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter." The story was considered too shocking for public exhibition until it had been toned down, and accordingly permission for its show- ing was only granted after Hester Prynne, whose tapse from the paths of virture was unfortunately indis- pensable to the plot, had been alter- ed from an unmarried woman into a widow. Exactly what difference this makes to the "morality" of the film we are unable to say, but at any rate Quebec can now go to the cinema and see Hawthorne's master- piece, altered and improved, with nn easy conscience.
