There are anti-Chinese outbreaks all over Mexico, including the kidnapping of 40 in Sonora, “causing great excitement among the yellow race.” Will there be a follow-up on the kidnapping? I suspect not.
Lithuania bans George Bernard Shaw’s “Saint Joan” for being “irreligious and calculated to bring the priesthood into disrepute.” Reminds me of the movie “The Sound of Music” being banned in the 1970s in at least one Latin American country run by a military junta (Argentina? Chile?) for bringing the military into disrepute.
One can only ask: was Shaw's play performed in English? In Lithuanian? And how many performances took place before it was banned? I can't imagine the theater exactly filling up for the performance of an English language play, nor can I imagine a Lithuanian translation.
