CHICAGO HORRIFIED
Chicago is once again perturbed by the title of a proposed film. " Scarface," which hid the identity of Chicago's notorious A 1 Capone, and was banned in New Zealand, is being followed by " If Christ Came to Chicago." This book, by William T. Stead, is going to be produced as a film of Reliance Pictures, and Edward Small, of that organisation, has refused to accept a suggestion that it might be wise to find a new name for the film.
Small urges that Howard Hughes, in spite of every protest, used " Scarface " without any bad aftermath. " ' If Christ Came to Chicago' points a definite moral," says Edward Small " and will do much toward cleaning up miserable conditions that exist in every city the size of Chicago.
