Ohio, the Supreme Court upholds a state law that bars the showing of any film that is not of a "moral, educational, or harmless and amusing character." The Court declares that showing movies is a business and that movies are not a part of the press. Thus they are not afforded the same level of constitutional protection. Individual states quickly set up movie review and censorship boards.
