Abstract

It Seems To Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | January 8, 1930 issue

The author says that he has been against every move made for censoring the theater papers. Concerning several plays of recent vintage the reviewers have written with wariness and embarrassment. Sometimes the mere recital of the plot has been enough to cause stammering and indirection. If cutting is to be done let liberties be taken from the playwright and given to the radio man and the reporter. Save in the case of murder trials and some particularly good divorces the press in general is far too namby-pamby.
