in Shanghai The Sneaker intervened when Mr. A, W. Haycock, Labour member for West Salford, asked Mr. Shaw "to make the people who own Shanghai pay for its defence, not the people of Britain."—Reuter, 'The Fox film "Good Intentions' in which Edmund Lowe is starred the gang leader, has banned by the censors of Shanghai. The film was shown a week ago to the police and Chinese censors, The former refused to pass it, owing to kidnapping, the crime itself being suggested more or less, although a huge ransom was paid.
The appeal board, consisting of three French, three British, one American and the Chinese representatives, viewed it later. A special viewing was held for the Chinese censor, who had not agreed entirely with his confreres at the first, at which time they were against it. His vote made the refusal unanimous, 'A carious situation arose from the first viewing of the appeal board. The decision of the foreign censors barred it from presentation' in Shanghai, but it could be shown in other parts of China. The negative decision by the Chinese censor now prevents it being shown in places under control of Nanking.
Inasmuch as the film will be a dead loss here, the prints are' to be shipped back to America or to southern ports.
