Los Angeles Papers Ask Leaders
Of Movie Industry to Clean Up Ads
Lot Angeles ? Stating that its
members are "getting more and
more complaints about the current
theatre advertising," the Los An
geles Newspaper Publishers' Asso
ciation has complained about mo
tion picture advertising to leaders
of the cinema industry.
The group has sent a letter on
the subject to 100 movie studio ex
ecutives, theatres, and independent
movie distributors. The letter asks
the industry to act as its own cen
aor.
The letter notes that the news
papers do not want to censor all
theatre copy. "This can easily be
prevented if you will see that those
responsible for your copy keep in
mind that young people of impres
sionable age read these advertise
ments and more and more parents
are rebelling against their children
being exposed to some of the pres
ent theatre copy."
Those receiving the letters in
cluded everyone known to be re
sponsible for preparing or placing
theatre advertising in Los Angeles
newspapers. In the case of major
studios, the letters went to New
York offices where advertising is
prepared.

The letters follow a series of ver
bal warnings by Mr. Pollock to
industry representatives over the
past four months. In his conversa

ically objectionable in the manner
they are used. This was followed

Mr. Pollock >ald there wai but
one response to these 20 letters.
This respondent said his organiza
tion "would cooperate." Ob the
whole, he indicated, there was no
noticeable change in ads as a re
sult of the verbal campaign.
He noted that newspapers had
taken action with respect to the
"objectionable" title of a movie
within recent weeks.
He said the motion picture was
"Respectable Prostitute." The
newspapers agreed thet this title
was not to be used in advertising.
An ad was accepted in which the
title was shown as "censored" with
the copy stating that the actual
name could be learned by tele
phoning the theatre at which it
was showing.

neither do some of the present tax laws.
For instance, a strange twist in federal law lets sev

electricity goes for taxes? bat members of this "privi

They get their electricity from federal government elec
