PICTURE EXHIBITORS
FAVOR BUCHER BILLi
Assembly Has Measure Which
Would Displace Film
Censors in Stale
Moving-picture censors will be te-
placed In Pennsvlvanla by a State
Bureau of Amusement If the Legislature
panes a bill Introduced at Harrlsburg
by Robert A. Bucher, of this city.
The new bureau, under the provisions
of the bill would be administered by a
commissioner who would receive a sal
ary of JtOOO a vear.
Motion-picture exhibitors are inter
ested in the passage of the bill, which
they expect will save them time and
money It permits the exhibition of all
films without previous censorsljp, until
such time as a film Is found to be Im
moral and unfit for exhibition, when
the commissioner could order it not to
be show n
The bill provides that tho commis
sioner grant a certificate of approval
upon application, but without having
seen the film Itself, upon which the ex
hibitor Is permitted to show the mm
to the public Tho commissioner then
pissea upon the film in script or scenario
form, subject to the leitlficate being
revoked In the event that the film is In
consistent with the description or
cenrlo as submitted
Section T of the bill provides for the
certificate of approval to be Issued upon
the submission of the application de
scribing the kind and character of the
film, but without compelling tho appli
cant to submit the film Itself to tho
commissioner for approval
Section 8 provides fr the elimination
of the seal of approval now Issued by
the Board of Censors This will do
away with the penalties now Imposed
for violation of the rule compelling the
display of seals. The exhibitors claim
that in many cases tho motion-picture
operators are to blame for failure to
show the seals
Another Important section Is Vo ID
of the bill, which provides for the re
duction of fees The original fee ie
mains at Jl. but the cost of duplicates
Is reduced from 1 to 50 cents On a
basla of last v ear's buslnes this would
