17 Jun 1916 - "The Dop Doctor." (original) (raw)
At the request of the South African Prime
Minister (General Botha) the Home Secretary
(Mr. Herbert Samuel) has prohibited
the exhibition of the film "The Love
Doctor," which is founded on Richard
Dehan's well-known novel of that name describing
the siege of Mafeking. The ground
of General Botha's objection is that the film
wrongly represents the Boers as being cheats
and immoral.
