Meyer Stevens Tuesday construing the provision to cover his censorship of motion pictures, bau- ned the showing of two films in Hartford under penalty or loss ct license by- theeter owners. .. The films outlawed locally in "Greed," a recent Metro~Goidwyn picture produced by Eric Vonifltro- helm. and "The Birth of a Nation." 'l theater owners in the city were forwarded yesterday a letter by Mayor Stevens stating that com- plaints receivcdby him concerning these two picturcs'had caused him to publicly take e. stand . against their showing. and that where these films were subsequently shown the license of the theater would be re- voked. Several citizens. according to the mayor submitted with their re- monstrances. evidence that the pic- tures had met with oposition else- where. The action at the mayor raises tor the first time under The new movie in: law, the question of con- flict of jurisdiction in censorship be» tween state and city officials. From local theatermen it was learned last night that the tiim “Greed. " high-priced picture. was booked ror showing two or three weeks ago at the Majestic Theater. It was not shown. since as the mayor states in his letter, "after a series of objec- tions on the part 02 reputable citi— zens. the management at 'my re- quest stopped negotiations for it." However. Tax Agent John J. Spiai‘n said Last night that the film had beet regularly passed by the state of cials and the tax had been paid by the distributors and the regular permit granted. The film is or ten reels and the tax amounted to $100 which is now forfeited and the: producers lose the rental pro- ceeds as far as Hartford is concern- ed. This is the first instance of what the producers in their legal fight against the movie tax law claimed was. the confiscatory power of the measure. Benedict M. Holden, coun- sel, for the movie producers. said but night that he considers the provision oi the charter concerning revocation of licenses for amuse. ments by the mayor as entirely a "fire prevention provision." and that Mayor Stevens was “out-Splaining Splain" is his censorship. "It theater owners after passing a state censorship and paying a tax are now confronted in Hartford with a city censorship. they should have Mr. Splain and Mayor Stevens go into executive sessions, in order to find out' just what the theater men can do in the "city," said Mr. Holden.
