...Lamps of China (Warner). When Hollywood producers last year were forbidden to make pictures as salacious as they wanted, they issued yelps that censorship would make the cinema more childish than it had been. As usual, their alarm was groundless. Forced to expend their inventiveness upon subjects other than sex, U.

While rival publishers excitedly fired "agitators" from their staffs, Neylan soothingly sifted his own newshawks' grievances down to a complaint that they were forbidden to accept free theatre tickets. He rescinded the order; the strikers went happily back to work. A bitter opponent of the Newspaper Guild today, Lawyer Neylan likes to relate the Call strike episode as somehow illustrating the fallaciousness of a newspaper labor movement...
Also, obediently, the Herald dropped the forbidden comic strips next day. But its Sunday color pages, already made up, included those features. "Cissy" Patterson asked Publisher Meyer's permission to publish them that one last time, sparing her the expense of a last-minute change. Hesitantly Mr. Meyer agreed on condition that the Herald print a front-page box acknowledging the Post's courtesy. "Cissy" Patterson asked time to consider. The deadline came & went, with no further word from "Cissy." Thereupon the Post published its own announcement that the Herald would appear next day with Sunday comics...
