BANNING A FILM.
CHRISTMAS INCIDENT. [by telegraph.—own MOKRINSVILLE, Friday. A protest against the action of a sub* committee in vetoing the screening of 'i film programme regarded as inappropriate to the occasion on Christmas Day a3 voiced by Mr. B. Chapman at a meeting of the Morrinsville Borough Council on the ground that Christmas was a time of rejoicing that did not| call for the hairing of films at picture theatres. The Mayor, Mr. W. McPherson, explained that the committee had been shown a poster that seemed to describe a South Sea story o the "wild and woolly" order, and it as deemed unsuitable for Christmas scieening. It was not a comedy and it was certainly not religious. The council endorsed the committee's action.
