SOVIET FILMS.
Soviet films were discussed when the Theatres a.nd Music Halls Committee asked the London County Council to prohibit any Sunday exhibition by the Masses Stage and Film Guild of the films entitled "Mother," "Armoured Cruiser "Storm Over Asia." "Modern Babylon." "Ten .Days That Shook the World," and "General Line." "The films entitled 'Mother.' •Armoured Cruiser Potemkin.' 'Storm Over Asia,' and 'Modern Babylon.' says the report, "have been rejected by the British Board of Film Censors as unsuitable for public exhibition. We have caused inquiry to be made of the board whether in its opinion those films are provocative or likely to cause a breach or the peace if shown,' and the board's opinion is definitely in the affirmative."
