INTOLERANCE
CHARGE AGAINST PICTURE MANAGER. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, September 5. At the Magistrate’s Court to-day Duncan Vevin, representative of J. C. Williamson, Ltd, was charged with having caused to be inserted in the Evening Post, on 16th July, 1917, an advertisement of the cinematograph picture “Intolerance,” whereby that newspaper became an indecent document. Defendant said that the advertisement was inserted to refute the remarks of Dunedin clergymen, which he thought unfair and unjustified, also as a challenge to the public to judge the matter for themselves. Decision was reserved.
