CHICAGO, June 22.—Ten years of
moving picture censorship in Chicago
have resulted in the elimination of
hundreds of thousands of feet from
films shown to more than 400,000 per
sons daily, according to Major M. C.
Fpnkhouser, second deputy superin
tendent of police, who reviewed the
problems he had encountered as
“moral censor" of the second largest
city in the United States, when he
defended the ordinance under which
he operates from recent attacks.
According to Major Funkhouser, the
board of twelve censors, the members
of which are selected by civil serv
ice, and which sits in judgment on
the pictures, has little or no discre
tion in ordering “cut-outs" or refus
ing to issue permits, as they merely
adhere to city ordinances and the
state law which prohibits hanging
scenes. The ordinances, among other
things, prohibit the showing of pic
tures immoral, obscene, or which por
tray riotous, disorderly or other un
lawful scenes which have a tendency
to disturb the public peace.
Within the last year 10,694 motion
pictures were inspected by the censor
and his aides, and out of this number
only 153 were rejected in their en
tirety, Major Funkhouser asserted.
The average film is approximately
1,000 feet in length and the total num
ber of feet rejected by the censor
voar u'aa 91fi £££
The cost of maintaining the censor
ship department is more than paid
for by the permits issued to the pro
ducers, which cost $1 each. Last year
29,697 permits were issued. The
twelve censors draw salaries ranging
from $120 tc $135 a month.
“The trouble with the motion pic
ture producers of today is that from
25 to 40 per cent of the pictures pro
duced deal with sex, the eternal tri
angle, affinity and white slave prob
lems,” Major Fuiiahouser declared.
“As approximately 80 per cent of the
motion picture audiences are com
posed of women and children, espe_
dally children, in theaters outside of
the down-town district, and as chil- "
dren often obtain their ideas of mo
rality from the pictures, a close guard
is necessary to see that the pictures
do not convey erroneous ideas.”
Within a year the city was made de
fendant in twelve suits by motion pic
ture concerns, Major Funkhouser said.
The courts, both state and federal,
have declared the city ordinances con
stitutional, and out of seven cases
tried the city has won six. The sev
enth was lost on a technicality, the*
moral censor explained. Five suits
are pending.
Two kinds of permits are granted
the producers, one being called the
“white” permit, and the other the
“pink” or adult permit. The latter,
Major Funkhouser explained, was for
adults only. In these pictures some
sex problems and scenes are permit
ted, he said. :
The number of films received weekly
for inspection runs from two hundred
to two hundred and fifty, and the
moral censors are given three days to
pass on a picture and issue a permit.
A regular motion picture theater is
established in one of the larger rooms
of the city hall, where three screens
and three motion picture machines
enable more than one picture to be
run at the same time. As a rule, two
or more of the censor’s staff sit and
pass judgment on one picture.
“The city of Chicago is the only
city in the country which has a civil
service censor board,” Major F’unk
houser said. “Ohio, Kansas and Penn
sylvania, however, have state censor
ship boards.”
