Shanghai Picture Ban Draws Strong Protest
"The Long Voyage Home," a United Artists Blm based upon the sea stories of Eugene O'Neill, the famous American dramatist, has been banned in Shanghal. It is reported that the censors regarded the film as "immoral."
The "China Weekly Review" comments on the move 48 follows:-The fact that Shang- hai should object to anything on the grounds of "Immorality" is surprising, but when it becomes known abroad that censors here banned the new O'Neill film on "moral" grounds, it will not re- dound to the credit of the Intel- lectual standards of the little group which apparently has the power to dictate the type of moving pictures which Shanghal
