& Students of censorship will be interested in the declaration

of Timothy D. Hurley, grand mogul of Chicago censorship

agitation, to the effect that if he was in power he would never

pass „The Kid“ which is about as vicious as Longfellow‘s

„Evangeline.“

(...) Exhibitors Herald, Feb. 12, 1921

& During the hearing, Timothy D. Hurley, a lawyer, declared

that if he were the censor of last resort, he would bar

Charlie Chaplin in „The Kid,“ and declared his reasons were

that there were included in it scenes representing

things that were in violation of the law.

      „Name one,“ shouted Brady, who had been called to the

rostrum to speak and who agreed to answer questions.

      „One is where a mother abandons her baby in an ash-can,“

retorted Hurley. „That is a crime.“

      „But it was not an ash-can,“ volunteered Watterson

Rothacker, who was among spectators. „It was a limousine.“

      „Well, what‘s the difference between an ash-can

and a limousine?“ was the reply of Hurley.
