..."Radium is a positive cure for cancer," she said. "It has already cured all kinds of cancer, even deep-rooted cases....Nevertheless there can be positive cures when properly applied. Those who have failed do not understand the method."

HASN'T PICKED COMMISSION

Three Men to Decide What Constitutes Objectionable Play, With Right of Veto.
--The New York Times, May 15, 1921
Governor Miller signed the bill shortly before a vacation with Mrs. Miller, set to last about 2 weeks. He argued the law wasn't censorship, because it sets the standards--even though the standards would be argued today ("inhuman" doesn't seem to be very specific to me). The governor hasn't decided who to appoint and interestingly (and contrary to the headline), said he would choose the right people, whether male or female! They figured to charge money for each film reviewed, and thus actually make money from this proposition. The commission could demand certain scenes be removed, or reject the film outright.
The New York Archives has a good summary of the history of this censorship board.
