Many new contentions and points havo
been raised by tho appellants to nttack
tho constitutionality of the law, which
was otlticted by the Legislature of 1911.
Tho original case, on whlrh the appeal
is tiasca, came Into the courts carlv In
1911 when .Albert 15 Drown. William
Snchsenmnlcr and Vernon It Carrlclt,
trading ns the Overbrook Theatre, were
linled Into court for exhibiting films with
out t)ic censor's permission. The Court
of Common Pleas, after renented lir.irliir-s
and postponements, decided that tho
censor had tho legal right to demand his
signature, on films, but that he and tho
assistant censor must view all films In

the right to nppolnt Inspectors or assist

President Wilson will be Invited nnd his

tho 4S States and there representatives In

inking nn active part In tho proposed
celebration that the distinguished RuesU
will bo enabled to visit nil tho historical
points of Interest prior to the ceremonies
at Independence Hall, which will be the
crowning feature.
Men prominent In the nfrnlrs of city
end State ngico that tho celebration
rhould be In keeping with tho great event
which It typifies. An Indication of the
spirit which prevails regarding the plan
has been shown by the action of Henro-
sentallve James A Dunn, who Intro
duced n bill In the House for a State ap
propriation of $.000. An adequate ap
propriation will also bo made, It Is said,
by Councils.
Senators McN'Ichol and Varo and many
other llcjslators have already expressed
themselves ns heartily In favor of the
iMiin. aeuaior varo said thnt he would
do all In his power to makn I'ltlliulotphln's

that he would have Intinduced the bill

L!
of more than Goo printed tinges, raise the
novel point that tho Legislature has not
the power to Invent a new crime, which
In this Instance, Is the exhibition of mi
censorcd pictures. The main contentions
of the appeal nro:
POINTS OF APPEAL.
The police power of the Legislating
10 seek protection for an "unlawful
act of Assembly" Is challenged.
Tho censor act Is an "unlawful and
unreasonable and arbitrary exercise
of police power, because It deprives
the -anficllanisJor.th.eir.. liberty and
property without due process of law.
In violation of the 14th amendment of
tlio United States Constitution and the
Bill of Rlghtff'of tho State Constitu
tion." The censor law amouns to an "un
constitutional delegation of the legis
lative power possessed solely by the
General Assembly."
The act to declared unconstitutional
and void, "not 'because it relntes to
the moving picture business, a subject
to which tho police power extends,
but because the provisions of this act
dealing with that subject amount to a
wholly arbitrary, unreasonable nnd
Invalid exercise of the police power."
TheAct gives, "them (the chief cen
sor nnd his woman assistant) tho
power to make such determinations (as
to propriety of films) without a hear
ing and affords no right of appeal."
The act "deprives persons nnd cor
porations of their Tight to sell, rent
and exhibit moving pictures.
without first obtaining certain exami
nations and approvals of such pic
tures, which exnmlimtlpns and np
provals the act at the same time
makes Impossible to obtain by falling
to provide adequate machinery for
that purpose." " '
OTHEH STATES INVOLVED.
The last contention tsircgardod ns one
of the most Importnnt In the brief. At
present Philadelphia Is the distributing
point for films for this State, South "Jer
sey. Delaware and Maryland, and por
tions of West Virginia and Virginia. Un
der the censor act. no exchange In this
city jean rent, or soil a film to a Balti
more; theatre,, for Instance, without first
vuiaimng me consent of the censor. In
other words, the censor act applies to
New Jersey, Maryland nnd Delaware as
well aa to this State.
Tho reference to inadequate machinery
Is based upon a ruling of the Court of
Common Pleas, which held that the cen
sor had no right to delegate tho cen
sorial powers to any one. He and hh
woman assistant can Judge CO reels a
day. or say 360 reels a week. Ab there
are submitted more than 700 reels a
week, the contention of Inadequacy Is ob
vious'. ...
Tho, applicants cite decisions of the Su
preme Court to. .prove their contention
that the fact that the "aDDoilants hnv
no right to appeal from the determina
tions of the censors is sufficient in Itself
to render tho act unconstitutional."
Another point raised In the briefs Is:
What happens when- the two censors,
viewing a film Jointly, cannot agree on Its
merits? The brief alleges that under
such conditions no decision can be reach
ed and that, in consequence, the owner
of the film would be deprived of his prop
erty Illegally and without duo process of
law.
Still a further contention Is that tho
Legislature delegated tho law-making
power 10 inti.iwo censors, wnen tho cen
sor act permitted them to make their
own standards" as to what constitutes
an objectionable Him,
The final argument of tho act's un
constitutionality Is In tho allegation
that the laws of the State are contra
vened. tn that, the censorial act Is not
properly- described In its title.
