The first part of "The Censor Marches On" by Morris Ernst and Alexander Lindey arouses a positive nostalgia for that age of innocence ten and fifteen years ago when obscenity was a major issue. Then the word totalitarian hadn't been invented and one of compensations of returning from France was getting a blue-backed copy of "Ulysses" through customs. When the bill establishing motion-picture censorship in New York State was introduced in the legislature, some of producers in California decided it must be fought. They sent a representative to New York to rally the support of exhibitors.
