(Received February 16th, 6.55 p.m.) LONDON. February 16.
During 1913, the British Board of Film Censors, dealing with the world's output, examined 7,628,031 feet of film and 7486 subjects', of which 6561 were passed for universal exhibition.
Reasons for rejection included cruelty to animals, indecorous dancing, impropriety of conduct and dress, executions, operations, the materialisation of Christ and the Almighty, foreign customs abhorrent to British ideas, painful insanity scenes, morbid death scenes, and incentives to crime.
