New York Motion Picture Censors of 1912
By Brian Thornton

When I was working on the Pianolin pump, I noticed a partial article on
the 1912 newspaper that was glued in to seal the boards.  The article,
titled "The Perverted Husband", contained the following comment by the
New York Motion Picture Censors:

  "We cannot understand why these companies continually produce
   morally objectionable plays faster than we can reject them."

Ponder that!  (Wish I had the whole article!)
