At a luncheon given in the Union yesterday' "Eddie" Canlor, now starring in "Kid Boots," was the guest of honor. In a witty and informative speech, he recounted many of his opinions and much of his stage career.
"Censorship," as he tellingly expressed it, "is the bunk. Salacious plays when allowed to run unmolested die soon. Censorship only arouses hostility and popularizes the plays censored."
Dramatic critics also aroused Mr. Cantor's satire because of the unfairness which they frequently show toward plays. He closed by an outline of his career interspersed with much good advice for youthful aspirants to the drama, and drew great applause by an offer to return at some future date to give a song recital accompanied by his orchestra.
