Among the contents of this bulletin are a review of the German film "Anna Boleyn" directed by Ernst Lubitsch with Emil Jannings as Henry VIII. The reviewer complains about the pointless change of title to "Deception" for the American release. The film had its U S. premier in New York City on April 17, 1921. Also in this issue is an essay "Art and Censorship" by Alfred B. Kuttner, Chairman of the Committee on Critique. An unsigned article on the last page complains about the mediocre pictures of American producers with reference to D. W. Griffith's latest picture "Dream Street". Very good .
