The National Board of Censorship has
begun an lntcrstato light for the aboli
tion of censorship wherover found. It Ib
appealing to legislators, business men,
taxpayors and newspapermen. The board
argucs-ngalnst Stato censorship on the
premise that cities and towns have ethical
standards which are better preventive of
objectionable pictures than politically
Influenced, salaried censors. It olters as
a substitute a "city plan," as follows:
Tho city plan Involves co-operation be
tween tho cities o ftho country and tho
National Board. It links tho skilled vol
unteer opinions of tho members of the
national board with those of the repre
sentatives of public opinion, also work
ing voluntarily in each city.
An efficient number for a motion pic
ture commission Is Ave to seven. They
are selected by the Mayor from diversi
fied groups representing public opinion
and from those Interested In people. The
function of the commission Is to discover
and voice public opinion on the charac
ter of motion pictures to be exhibited In
the city.
Tho members concentrate their atten
tion primarily on fugitive 'and uncensored
Alms which theatre owners or lessees de
sire to circulate. They also Inspect nims
In which there are cuts or eliminations
made by the National Board. Thme mem
bers of tho commission review, also with
power to reject, thoso nims about which
they havo received written complaints by
citizens. The commission allows proper-ly-cenBored
pictures to bo publicly shown
with a minimum of delay and friction.
Tho city plan Involves the submission
to the commission of a list of pictures it
is proposed to snow before the date of
the flrst exhibition. It is understood that
proper arrangements shnll bo made for
the review of pictures without charge
to tne city.
Tho bulletin of the National Board, Is
sued every Saturday and containing the
complete action taken by that body on
films for tho current week, is sent to
tho representatives of the City Commis
sion. Tho complete list for the year will
Include 05 per cent, of all the motion pic
ture Alms in circulation throughout tho
country. Tho National Board agrees to
furnish these and other advices freely to
the City Commissions.
This city plan Is not theoretical. It
has been working satisfactorily In a
number of the cities of the country,
among which are New York city, St.
Louis, Milwaukee, Omaha, Portland, Ore
gon, Fasadena, Los Angeles, Jackson,
Mississippi, Dallas and Joplln, Missouri.
Boston the authorities have gone ono step
further. They permit no pictures to ba
shown which have not passed the Na
tional Board.

THE WEAkdn (7) SEX.
And now Dot Kelly, of tho Vltngraph
PlayerB, has had an adventure In the at
tire of a mere man. In tho Aiming of "A
Madcap Adventure," In which Dot played
the lead, Bho was required to impersonto
what Is known among tho male box as
a "liberal fcpender." While she had
bundles of stnge money, Dot was not fa
miliar with trousers' pockets as a re
ceptacle for real money, and, conse
quently, was without oven a nickel of
the coin of the realm.
Not wanting the fact that she was
without funds to become known, she
was compelled t cast longing glances
nt every store window that displayed a
hot chocolate " sign, for it was one of
the coldest days of the winter, and Dot,
without the accustomed warmth of foml
nlne attire, was cold. The picture re
quired her to bo seen entering a cafe,
and she welcomed the scene In which this
was to take place. At last
Swaggering through the door of a
liquid refreshment palace In regular man
fashion, Dot made a bee line for the
rJaiator. While enjoying its warmth'to
the full, a Btranger approached, and,
slapping her on the back, said: "You
look cold, old chap, let's have a hot
(And Dot giggled) lemonade. Miss."
It was the most welcome remark Dot
had heard that day.

MAY ASK MORE FUNDS
200,000 Appropriated for Panama
Display Believed Inadequate.
The question whether the appropriation
of $200,000 for the unction and mainte
nance of the Pennsylvania Dulldlng at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition Is suffi
cient will be taken up at a meeting of the
Exposition Commission and Governor
Brumbaugh the latter part of next week.
It will then be decided whether additional
funds, enough to cSnduct the enterprise
in a manner befitting the Keystone State,
ought not to be appropriated,
"The new Governor, by virtue of his
office," eatd ex-State Senator Ernest L.
Tustln, a member of the commission, "be
comes president of toe commission, and
I cannot say what will be done In the
matter until after a conference with him.
"However, despite the fact that New
York appropriated J7W.0OO and Ohio 00,
000, the Pennsylvania Building was de
clared toy tho American Institute of Archi

complete of any out there. Twenty-dve

xeaterday's Concert
The shock of swift contrasts was not
necessary to make the concert of the
Philadelphia Orchestra Interesting yester
day, but It helped to make the afternoon
exciting and to glvo a new lesson In
nrtlstlo Judgment. Primarily the concert
was given over to Haydn and Mozart
To set off the latter, which was for Mr.
Qabrllowltsch to play, was the grandiose
Weber concert piece, also for him, and
to stand a million miles from Mozart Mr,
Btokowskl choose to conduct Strauss'
"Till Eulcnsplcgol."
Tho bright Bhlnlng losson and tho won
der of Mr. Qabrllowltsch's playing was
that when he 'nad played tho Mozart con
certo, dainty and delicate and quietly un
lmpDssioned, and ptayod It as It should
havo been played, It seemed Impossible
that ho should play through the bravado
and the theatrical splendor of tho Weber,
And, ultimately, when he had played tho
Weber, one wondered whether It was
oven Tie who hnd dono tho Mozart but
10 minutes before. The pianist lias
achieved a vast reputation as a virtuoso,
which Is not, of course so disastrous a
thing. Yesterday he Bwung through tho
broad, crashtng chords of his concert
piece with a Mno perfection of technique
Uut It was when ho played Mozart, with
an artificiality which was not mannered,
a grnca w'nlch was not feminine, and a
precision which was not studied, that
ho Justified himself as a pianist. Nuances
of tone were not mnny In Weber: depth
of feeling would have been out of place
In either piece. In the Wober theto wero
momentB of martial passion nnd fine
swing, to which tho artist brought a sat
isfactory senso of rhythm. In Mozart
there were soft tones and pontics cadences.
All wore exquisitely dono.
Mr. Stokowskl's own contrasts were
not behind this. Tho Haydn symphony,
tenderly vacant "if meaning, charming
nnd cheerful and even bland, ho led
with oaso and grace. His orchestra, fall
ing to reprint the miracle of last Friday's
"Tnsso," still hnd a fulness of tone, and
the menuetto (mllltalre in the prevail
ing fashion) was spiritedly played. It
scemi never dlfllcult for tho strings, and
In lesser measure for the other choirs of
tho orchestra, to acqulro spirit It should
be as easy for them to attain satisfac
tory tone without bravura, to be gentle
and yot strong.
Tho Incoherences of the "Till Eulen
splegel" were remarkablo, and tho pres
ent writer finds It dlfllcult (against the
testimony of provious hearings) to as
cribe them to the text The rondo was
nB a straight clear pungent breath of
modernity after all that preceded. Uut
It has moro cogency than Mr. Stokowskl
put Into It until tho flnalo. Hero, to be
Just, tho fervor and the strength wero
not clouded nor tho meaning dissipated.
Tho last few minutes of tho playing
seemed almost to Justify tho whole.

different and more exciting than any of the others
have been.
MANAGERS-
of photoplay theatres say that no film In recent years
has created so much interest and controversy as
ZUDORA, The public finds in this film a master pro
ducer's masterpiece.
YOU-
fi
can see ZUDORA by asking the manager of your
' favorite theatre to run it. He wants to please you just
as much as you want to be pleased.
IT'S
impossible to forget the name. It sounds like running
water and begins with a big, funny capital Z and ends
with a little insignificant letter a. Say it over to your
self. It is called ZUDORA.
